Fast zombies are ridiculous. The dead cannot move quickly. It is entirely unrealistic if zombies are fast in movies.

It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Slow zombies. I still get nightmares about those red-headed fast zombies from the GC remake of Resident Evil.
They could break down doors! You couldn't get away!

Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
Wow, I thought there would be more disagreement on the subject. Isn't there anyone who wants to stake out the unpopular position? Do leaping, running zombies have a defender on the board?
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
The whole point of zombies is the slow, relentless, mindless horde, where the individual element is easy to beat, but the numbers are what eventually get you. If you want fast undead, go watch a vampire movie.

Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
Zombies are meant to be shootable. They're supposed to wreak tons of havoc on the human race, but ultimately in the end designed to be shot. To combat this they appear in large numbers.
However, if zombies suddenly get fast that just takes away from the one human advantage- they're much harder to shoot.
Because I like the way things are, I vote slow zombies for the sake of balance.

Damn right. Zombies have no business speeding up. The terror comes from their inexorable advance. Fast zombies I can go watch at the mall.Originally Posted by drone

Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
Call me sentimental but fast zombies just don't feel right. They have to be slow and mumble "Braaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnns".
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
I like them grilled. With a side of mashed potatoes.
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
Well they're slow as in speed, but they're slow in thinking capability as well.
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
I'd rather they be slow so I can just run away.
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
You should be ashamed of yourself...
But I'd prefer them slow. It gives us humans a chance.
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
I agree, zombies moving fast?! Now that is odd.

I love you guys.
And I love zombies.
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
I love zombies in general. HL2 is a good example of fast and slow zombies. The slow zombies are a pain in the arse when in hordes, while fast zombies are very effective just by themselves. And when i say they're fast zombies, i mean they're fast. They leap from rooftop to rooftop in one level, letting out blood-curdling screams.

Too be owned with a single shot with a shotgun. So are the slow ones by the way. Half-life 2 =

Nah, in the Ravenholm level, they can be quite horrific, due to the fact you have very little ammo, and there are many of them.Too be owned with a single shot with a shotgun. So are the slow ones by the way. Half-life 2 =

Nothing can compare to the normal speed Hong Kong HOPPING ZOMBIES, which are just invincible. They'll look so ridiculous that you keep laughing, then you'll be defenceless.

Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
My, those zombies are funny, always laugh my arse off when watching them when they hop and hop and hop. Yet they are kinda scary cause they don't really look dead, just a body with full of white powder and they way they attack humans.

Which movie is that? Huzzah for asian weirdness!
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
Any movie that includes East-Asian-style zombies (or vampires..the myths surrounding both creatures seem to overlap a little).
Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
Definitely slow.
If I want my undead fast I'll go for a ghoul or vampire or whatnot. Zombies are supposed to be like the Teutonic Knights in Age of Empires II: you see them long before they'll get to you, which gives you plenty of time to panic.
