Hi I am the leader of Quarantine an Unreal Tournament 2004 total conversion. Quarantine is a first person horror.First off let me tell you about the mod...

STORY:
Chapter 01:
Our main character lives in Mountain View, high in the mountains. It's a small town and gets few visitors. Any sort of rescue teams can take hours, even by helicopter. Most of the surrounding territory is rocky terrain which makes it quite impossible to communicate with anyone outside the town, the phones that require telephone polls are routed through one location. Electricity is equally inconvinient, most places have their own personal generators. One morning ___ finds himself awakened by the noise of loud yells and bangs on his apartment door. He quickly finds out the world is at chaos as he watched people being eaten alive from his window door. Confused, he barricades himself in his own apartment trying to wait for a sign of help. After a few minutes the door is busted down and the creatures who broke in were chasing him, slowly in a way that made it seem as if they were in pain. He supposed they were trying to eat him, as he learned from watching them do the same to people on the street below. He quickly runs out his window and up the emergency ladder to the ceiling. He jumps over building after building trying not to fall into the hordes of zombies. He finds a few survivors and fallows them through a house window into the streets. There was about 6 in all, including our main character, they make it to a school and decide they need to split up and look for food and survivors. ___ seems to be one of the fallowers of the team as one of the 2 other survivors in his party takes lead, not long after he dies from one of the creatures though. So while the other team is trying to get elecricity working ___ and his partner head to the cafeteria. The problem is he can't get in the cafeteria because the power isn't on, and the doors run by power. So they head to the basement where the fuse box is. They find the 3 other survivors eaten alive and besides the few creatures around the basement there was no sign of life. They had no weapons so they had to dodge the creatures for now. They make it up to the cafeteria to find a huge unhuman like creature who appears to be one of the cooks for the school...with a butcher knife! The creature strikes down his partner and he quickly notices an emergency axe on the wall, he breaks open the glass and grabs the axe. Now that he has an axe, he can either kill the former cook and get some food(That can heal wounds). Or he can run out and look for survivors or a way out of the city.
GAME TYPES(Single player):
WORLD-You will start the begining of the story and finish with AI Bots. Levels will be detailed and long, we will link all our levels together making one huge single player story for you to beat.
SCENARIO-Details soon...
MORE COMMING SOON...
GAME TYPES(Multi player):
FREE PLAY-Choose out of the givin characters and play on large maps and work together to survive or complete missions.
MORE COMMING SOON...
Inspirations:Resident Evil, George Romero movies, maybe small ideas from other things.
Freetouch:You will have many options throughout the game in almost everything you see, for example, some victims are trying to get in a door you shut and eventually they will get through, so you go up to a desk and press the use key, and you will have options like "Push desk against door", then go to a box and press the use key, and be able to choose "stack box on desk"(If the desk is already their) or "Block door with box", you will also be able to block the door yourself and knock them open when it is locked from the inside. Also when you go to a hole you won't have a jump button, anything you need to get on you will be able to press the use key and choose "jump over". Of course there is always going to be a cancle option.
AI Bots:The freinds you have will automatically fallow you and make smart decisions for themselves, even when you and you're party get lost and separated. The enemies also will be smart, like being able to open doors you shut or locked. They will hit it untill it goes down.
Levels(Single player):There will not be levels but one long game, like Zelda. There will be many places to be and you and your party will get separated, then must find a way to meet up again. Or you can beat the game by yourself if you feel like ditching your friends.There will also be other scenarios and such depending on which gametype you choose.
Melee:We are going to use a power bar for melee. Which means when you have a melee weapon you hold the attack button and the longer you hold it the harder your swing or strike is going to be. Thus the more damage it will inflict on the enemy.
There's much more but I don't want to get too detailed. We are looking mainly for Player modelers and animators. We will take you if you are good at something else but those are our priorities. If you are looking to join email me or message me and I will respond to you. Email:Super_monkey97@hotmail.com

We just started the visual work such as models and maps so we don't have much to show, but here's an axe made by Scourge our weapon modeler...

Well I didn't give it a name really, I didn't detail that part really sorry, the scientist just gave it a temporary name because the name isn't so important yet. Use you're imagination :P. Besides sounds good to me if it was lol.

Hey lady I don't know if you know the rules of zombies but this isn't any zombie mod. You find that out later in the story, why do you post that? What's the point? Do you think I will just stop working on this because you think I'm a noob with a bad zombie plan? This mod has been changed over and over again untill we got it right(Which is this time) and now we are starting the real work. It's not a "I just got this great idea I am getting a team" mod, I already have a workable team, we just need some extra members to help us pull it off. I beleave I put this in Mod Discussion not Mod Ideas, so if you don't want to join stop crying and if I pull this off you can ignore the big "Quarantine mod released" post or you can check it out and play it.

I think what TKAzA meant was that there are alot of zombie mods. Just as there are alot of World War II mods. He having a go at zombie mods in general. Don't get worked up about it.

Oh and good luck with the mod :)

There are no more original ideas. You just have to hope your ripoff is better than everyone elses.

oh haha, sorry about that I took it the wrong way, anyway what makes a game good is the game not what it's about or what's in it.
