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".

Fava beans and a nice chianti.
Oh, wait...
Anyways, I think graveyards would be the most dangerous place. I'd go to the local oil refinery. Either way, the zombies aren't surviving.

Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
The traditionalist in me says slow, but DotD Zombies scared my pants right off me. So did the Res Evil ones, and the 28 Days Later. So I voted for Fast, with the idea in mind that they would still be mindless, i mean if they were smart Zombies they wouldn't be Zombies anymore.
... oh and they still have to moan BRAAIINS. Fast Zombies that slowly moan BRAAIINS that's what I voted for.

Slow zombies. I prefer to have a chance to survive.
And fail and becoming a zombie would be soo lame.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Re: How Do You Like Your Zombies?
Slow. Zombie's should be a unstoppable force when hunting in packs yet easy to beat mano a mano. Fast undead are cool as well, but it just aren't zombies.
