midnightz Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 1978's Dawn of the Dead showed us the ultimate zombie ride. The Helicopter! As long as you have fuel of course... Ever since watching that movie I have always wanted a zombie survival game in which I could play that exact scenario. Snag a heli and some chicks with my best bro, fly to a mall, barricade, scavenge, clear, fight off mad max raiders and all the fun zombie movie stuff. Back when Left 4 Dead was first rumored about I thought maybe I would finally have a game I could play co-op and survive dawn of the dead style. Nope, no barricading apart from safe rooms and unlimited pistol ammo ruined it. While I spent many hours playing both L4D's it never fit my dream zombie game hole in my heart. DayZ came close in the social and vehicle aspects of the game. Making it be the ultimate thing to want to find. I keep wanting PZ to somewhat be like a top down ARMA but I am not sure how vehicles would react to the game physics (such as car crashing into fence or zombies) but im not too fond of the way Running with Rifles has done the controls. In all respect Project Zomboid is my dream game that I have always wanted and I thank you devs many times over for making it a reality and for the possibility that if it not be your dream game it can be modded into it! PZ has it all co-op,the mall,survival and social aspects... BUT I MUST HAVE HELICOPTERS! If it is at all possible I was thinking about it and remembered a game I played back in the 16bit era: Urban Strikehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7FYbOccnpA The isometric view, the controls, dropping supplies/picking up I think could port really wellinto the game. I have no idea about coding videogames at all but I can't imagine it would be too hard to recreate an old sega game. Applying it to already written PZ game code I understand would be quite the task. Even just a transport heli is all I could hope for no machine guns or missles. Or maybe just the shadow from the heli pass by as you hear the meta game sound pass by you would be cool.

syfy Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 pretty sure this will be a NO.no escaping the zombies, we are quarantined in and only death will let us out. also relatively sure there won't be any airdrops of any sort, since they say there won't be any Military Aidhttp://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/192-commonly-suggested-suggestions-read-before-posting-unofficial/ migulao and EnigmaGrey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bower Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I had a sky base with a sheetrope I used as my helicopter. midnightz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strang Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm pretty sure the engine can't do helicopters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnightz Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I was not suggesting they make an overpowered helicopter for us to mow down zombies in or escape from them. I know that the PZ canon states that we are in a quarantine and if that was the case then a heli would never make it past the quarantine without getting shot down. I know that it may be a "BIG NO" and yes syfy I did read that link before posting and no where does it say helicopters were a "BIG NO" and I wasn't requesting military aid just mentioning the mechanics in the Urban Strike game. I understand it is not realistic to expect to steal a helicopter and joyride it across muldraugh in this game but to just flat out not have any in the game seems like a big mistake to me. Even just a shadow of the heli as it passes by would be cool or even crashed helicopters to get supplies from like in DayZ. Are we really going to go thru the entire quarantine, fort knox, and military installations without ever seeing a heli in this game? Just sounds? If so how is this explained? All the helis are in use to observe the quarantine? No airports in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syfy Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 to be honest, a heli shadow would be cool indeed to have in the game. but i don't remember anything in the game currently having any shadows at all. seems like they discussed this before....maybe it was a problem with the view point, or the engine? cannot remember exactly. any plans they have as to what we may find in the Fort Knox area have not been discussed in the year + that i have been here, but it would be nice to have a few Apaches or similar heli's crashed here and there....or sitting on the tarmac waiting for a pilot. would give the game a bit more "desparate, we have to get the hell outta here NOW before the zombies get us" feeling when the quarantine was imposed and the soldiers evacuated.......assuming of course that they did evacuate. but as with so many other questions game related, we will just have to let them get to things when they are ready too. Map Expansion, NPC's and a few other things seem to be the main focus right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightz Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yeah I am not saying "hey devs stop working on maps and npc's and make some dam helicopters" in the least. This is an obvious way down the road addition or possible 3rd party mod later on. I know they are busy cause I read twitter,mondoids, thursdoids, and whatever else they can give us ever since I read the 2011 Kotaku Article "In the Apocalypse, I died of cooking soup". I started playing RC 2.5 and have been hooked ever since. I see the greatest potential in this game and once I thought about playing Urban Strike as a kid and the fact that PZ devs and forums had made no definite yes/no on the issue, I thought merely suggesting that these two games could be compared and ideas formed around it would be okay.

Nice mod but I actually think it would be too overpowered (just a little?) having a blackhawk around to go scavanging? And yes, why would I not at least try to flee? In a milspec heli I'd think there is at least a chance to escape. Some small non-military helicopter would make way more sense in my opinion and it would (should) burn fuel as hell so you really don't get fancy ideas.
