Zombie Master In Short

Zombie Master is a multiplayer Half-Life 2 modification, centred around a zombie-apocalypse, which throws all but one player in the shoes of human survivors. Pitched against a relentless tide of rotting flesh, they must scavenge for weaponry and equipment just to stay alive. But that one player, chosen randomly at the beginning of the round, is not bound by mortal restraints.

To speak his name is to invite the wrath of hell - but most call him the 'Zombie Master'. He is nigh omnipotent. His invisible hand controls the legions of undead like puppets on strings; slowly closing the net on the humans while they run to and fro like rats in a maze.

Features
Human team:

* A wide range of weapons to scavenge such as shotguns, molotov cocktails, rifles and more
* A number of challenging objectives that encourage players to team up and work together
* The ability to interact with the environment to build barricades and carry objects

Zombie Master:

* Real Time Strategy gameplay; create and command your own undead horde
* A wide variation of zombie units encourages the ZM to adopt complex tactics
* Environmental "manipulates" allow the ZM to interact with the world in devilish ways
* Mysterious powers let the ZM manifest his power in a more direct fashion... for a price

You spend too much time spectating than fighting zombies or controlling them. And frankly, I tried being zombie master, and it was difficult to know what to do.

Someone should totally make a map based on Saw. It would be awesome to go around the house with some friends while the Zombie Master player plays as Jigsaw, activating traps and challenges that the survivors must acomplish in order to escape from the house. Man that would be great..

This mod is awesome. But it has a lot of flaws regarding the hitboxes and zombies that need to be nerfed. Drifters attack effect needs to be nerfed. If you're surrounded you can't go anywhere and you're dead. Even by 1 drifter because you can't kill it if its hitting you.

Also the hitboxes I mentioned before. Someone needs to fix those. Really, you can only kill banshees if they're following you and you're walking away in a straight line. There is almost no way you can kill them if they're moving except for that way.

Other than that good game.

Ok, first of all, Zombie Master Black Edition has nothing to do with these developers. Second, these developers aren't going to update ZM any more, 1.2.1 is the final release. Third, this mod isn't dead. Well, people are playing it but obviously the zombies are fairly dead :P
And finally - IT'S AWESOME!!!

I am downloading this now. What happens if you die in this mod? All zombies are controlled by one player, so have I just wait until the round ends?

You get the team of survivors and one zombie master. The zombie master creates and controls the zombies, which are just AI - not players. So, once you die, you have to wait for a new round before you can spawn again.
