Zombie Panic: Source is a co-op oriented Survivor Vs Zombie multi-player survival horror modification for HL2. While our main priority is to make the mod as fun to play as possible, ZP:S plans to greatly expand on the core features of "Zombie panic" For HL1, with the obvious new features, impressive visuals, and of course atmospheric maps. More importantly ZP:S will not force players to fend against dumb and predictable AI, but instead keep the same intense thrill of surviving against intelligent and persistent player controlled zombies as the original.

Really great news! I hope that the new levels in ZPS will be nice (they are for everyone, aren't they?).

I might give this a shot. Two months, and I finished my last final yesterday so I'm home free for that entire time...

hmm.. maybe a warehouse, where survivors have barricaded themselves, and zombies are breaking through the barricades.
Survivors must hold on for few minutes (lets say 1,5/2 minutes), before chopper arrives on roof, and remains of survivors can evacuate...

Damn, i could give a try.

I have already a base for map.

Actually you misread that. We *are* using the Orange Box SDK in the next release, so Orange Box content (such as new lighting) is preferred!
