Situation Outbreak is an Orange Box mod about the impending zombie apocalypse. Armed with nothing but a 9mm and a pair of brass knuckles, you must do whatever it takes to survive against the thousands of zombies that used to be your friends and neighbors. The cost of failure is nothing less than your free will. There are no heroes. No single person can save the world and there are not enough bullets to go around. The only thing left to do is to kill the damned, hoping that you don’t end up like them.

And before anyone asks, yes, that last part with the MP5k is using its new burst fire mode. =)

In the beginning don't you think he reload a bit to fast? It's like he puts the same mag in the gun . But nice love the guns

A couple of issues with the mp5
First the blood looks really fake
Second It has NO recoil at all

And for the ironsights, the move to fast. I highly doubt in life you could aim down the center of a gun so fast and perfectly

i bet a swat team would know how to look down the barrel of a gun pretty fast,

and thats without phong, so the blood will change,

theyr not swat team. And if you notice the reloading, they take about 1-1.5 seconds. Even a swat team unit or highly trained black ops sniper or delta force commando cant do that. Not even chuck norris! WITH A BB GUN!

If I were ZMS dev dude I woulda made longer reloadings and more recoil.

You can look down the iron sights pretty fast, but it would take more time

Its a video game. But were all lookin for realism

Can you please ref. to the real zombies? We are trying to do it as real as possible, but also fun, and 10 sec reload wouldn't be, would it? I think its okay as it as now, maybe not realistik, but fun

Everone should remember it's a game and should be fun. I mean isn' that the whole point. And it may seem fast but you have to remember that you have to play it before you can really get the feel of everything.

We do realism when we can. When we think it would ruin gameplay, we take the easy way out and do fun instead, as Patrick, Chris and Harrison mentioned.

I do think the MP5k could use a bit more recoil, though, so I'll be adding that later today.

Oh, and P5ych0, we're hoping that by v1.60 we will have replaced the survivor models with SWAT-type models, which is why Harrison keeps bringing that up. We're just trying to think ahead, and the whole SWAT thing actually hasn't been done in Source yet besides mods like The Hidden.

By the way, the reloading times are not 1 to 1.5 seconds. The deagle is around 3 seconds and the MP5k is around 4, both of which are very reasonable and realistic times for someone who knows how to handle that particular weapon.

What I liked from ZM, was that the guns had some "real-ish" recoil, for example, the DEagle, you can't shoot a DEagle like that ^ and getting to control the recoil.
I mean, if you shoot a DE in the real life, that fast, well... xD

Actually, our deagle is pretty realistic. Since you're gripping it tightly with two hands, there isn't a whole lot of recoil, but your aim is thrown off so that if you attempt to fire again too quickly, you'll end up missing your target completely. It's hard to explain in words, but when v1.50 comes out, you'll see what I mean. In the meantime, take my word for it, I guess. =P

It's on the back burner right now because we'd like to get all of the new weapons in for v1.50. That being said, I'll see if I can edit the existing ones for now.

Wouldn't pulling the slide back eject a round every time? I've always wondered this (not gun expert)

I like the way they look and the fact your holding the deagle with two hands.

However the mp5k does need some more recoil.

On a side note rly like the music that plays with this.

You can also pull the slide back to get a round out of a clip and into the actual gun, which is what is being done here with the MP5K, I believe. I'm going to work on that recoil today as well.
