The game works perfectly with 4 v 4.
4 humans vs hordes of mindless zombies and 4 super zombies controlled by players. I believe the two teams are ranked by how well they do when they play the human side.
The game runs in campaigns of 5 maps. So 4 campaigns = 20 maps. After playing coop mode so much on expert I can’t imagine having smart humans controlling those zombie bosses…
I think the AI Director works excellently. For those who don’t know, the game is controlled by an AI Director which decides when things happen and where items appear. Health packs, pills, molotovs, pipe bombs, extra pistol, better weapons, and when zombies spawn / how many are all controlled by the AI Director.
It works well!
Zombie players can play the following characters:
1x Smoker (Zombie that shoots his tongue out and chokes/pulls the player to him.
1x Boomer (Fatass zombie that pukes on players or explodes and hits every player around him. If you are slimed all nearby zombies attack you and zombies spawn)
2x Hunter (These guys are fast and pounch on top of players pinning them to the ground, helpless).
1x Tank (The AI Director will randomly select a player to play the Tank during maps. It might never decide to allow a Tank to spawn in a play through though).
The Witch cannot be played but will spawn if the difficulty is > Normal. She sits and cries until disturbed, at which point she will 1 shot you. She is crazy so avoid her at all costs.
I think the game is fantastic. Whether or not one can tournament it will be seen after release. I think there will be a way though.
You may think 4 v 4 is lame but the game is designed for that kind of gameplay. It is a blast to play and feels very epic as you play.
Just set off a car alarm once and you’ll know what I mean.
