Why the hell would you have snipers trying to blast your head off in a zombie apocolypse.
The Military have deployed a tactical retreat, using the Scorched Earth strategy. While this was effective in some areas, after some time it just increased the space that the infected had to multiply. This also damaged the remaining survivors, who were trapped inside the Military's cordon. They created a Black Market, and became more like Smugglers than survivors. They would trade weapons, exotic goods and whatever else they could loot to the outside world.
The survivors are inside a cordoned off zone. They are trespassing. They also have their own smuggling chain. They could approach the cordon, but it's a shoot-on-sight scenario of anyone inside the zone.
Hey, once GCat's weapons come out, you should use them, because they have limited ammo, not only with reloading, but it also runs out. Plus they have a lot of other features, check 'em out here: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=107991.0
Yeah, I've been looking at those. Personally, I'm not overly excited about the whole "fully animated" feature, I find putting hands on guns is a bit ugly. I'm interested, however, as to how the ammo system would work. One thing that I really do want is the toxic gas, that could be fun...
Well, they carpet bomb the city, basically.
Ah, ok. I see the crossover. There's logic in the scorched earth strategy, I gotta say- if not very drastic.
