ZPS - Horde

The basic idea of the Zombie Panic is to create solid game play that is based on a classic zombie outbreak scenario. The living dead are coming for the last remaining humans, and these survivors must fight them off and live through the day.
Everyone joins a server, in the beginning you can either choose to join the human team or you can volunteer to be the first zombie. If no one volunteers the game will pick one human randomly and the game begins. The starter zombie's goal is to, of course kill the humans while the human goal is to stay alive as long as possible, complete objectives, or even wipe out all the zombies. The catch is that when a human is slayed he will simply join the ranks of the undead, now ready to finish off his old living teammates. The humans can't tell by the player list who’s alive and who’s not, eventually there will only be one survivor still standing if all goes wrong, facing all the zombies which use to be allies, with his back to a wall. The zombies only have a certain number of reinforcements (lives), when a zombie is killed they lose 1 life from the counter. However, when a human is killed they gain 1 life. If the zombies only have 1 respawn left the humans can win the round by killing off the remaining undead left on the map.
We want the mod to feel creepy and give you a sense of desperation, and yet not take itself so seriously that you can't laugh at the way you got slayed. Overall fun and playability is the priority, where is realism and horror while important are just a bonus when possible. We want a mod that you can easily play with any number of people, even with small numbers or uneven numbers. Plus, there's a certain sense of satisfaction in tearing apart those heartless survivors who failed to protect you while you were alive, limb from limb.

We promised you all a ZPS comic awhile back and Henital Gerpies took up the call. I was excited to see what our ZPS T-Shirt Design contest winner (Which I've heard is enjoying his new ZPS T-shirt) could come up with and was pleasantly surprised. Because I felt our script may come off a bit generic in written form, we've gone without pre-define chat bubbles allowing you to create your own dialog. We hope you enjoy-

Its nice to know these developers haven't totally abandoned this mod. :)
plz make the game more "light" because its too heavy for my computer, yes it's old but the game is playable but with some lacks in fps
sry for my english
What kind of maps are you trying to play? The newer maps such as zpa_badbayou, zps_clubzombo and zpo_shreddingfield are more resource heavy then previously released maps. Also make sure its not your ping/latency causing the problem.
Well, as I said. Back in 2008 ZPS Devs did a great work with the mod and deserverd their second or third place. However, in 2009 Devs focused only on adding new content (and mostly it looked rushied and unfinished) without bugfixing old bugs and doing balancing for weapons, maps and game play in general.
I think I this post this get some minuses. But devs should take some criticism and do better in 2010. Otherwise mod will stop moving forward.
This is the best option if you don't want to buy games like Left 4 Dead...
and you can play as a Zombie!!!
zombie master is also a good replacement :)
very very very good mod but i never want to play as a zombie :D
It just takes some getting used to before you truly appreciate how fun it is to play zombie :P (nothing like coming out of nowhere and making some poor survivor crap his pants)
lol walkthrough
still the best mod around and probably the most fun zombie game I have ever played - this never, ever gets old. ever.
