Fast or Slow

[Que-Ever]

Which are better, Fast zombies or Slow zombies?

by better, I mean scarier, more effective, get more brains per capita, whatever.

 

[Mellish]

Are you talking about half-life or generally?

 

[Que-Ever]

Just general zombies.

 

[highlander]

Fast zombies, if they can climb walls and shit.....**** DEM BANANAS

 

[Mr Stabby]

Slower zombies generally have higher HP for some reason but fast zombies would be a lot scarier.

I love all zombies equally.

I prefer they are mixed together and all have different movement speeds - just like real zombies.

It's like a pitcher that only throws fast balls - eventually you are going to get the timing down and hit them out of the park all day. That's why - a zombie with half a brain, should be unpredictable and perhaps catch you off guard with a 'slow ball' .. maybe you underestimated his/her HP and you didn't have enough bullets in the clip to take him down.

Guess what? You're infected. Better put the barrel to your head and take yourself out of the game before you eat someone you love.

 

[Eejit]

Slow zombies.

 

[Asuka]

Fast Zombies ftw

 

[Dalamari]

Slow Zombies, because fast zombies aren't as scary in numbers while an army of slow zombies is like "OHSHIT"

 

[FishBulb]

Fast zombies wouldn't be scary in numbers, only because you'd be dead.

 

[Iron Kat]

I voted before I read OP's post. I personally prefer slow zombies becaue they're easier to kill, but obviously fast ones scare the living shit out of you, so as far as fear factor goes, fast ones, definitely!!!

Slow zombies = comedy

Fast zombies = horror

 

[MJ12]

See, here is my problem, all zombies' speeds should be based on decay of the body/injuries/and previous physical condition.

Sure, zombies can't feel pain so they have no limit to running, but for some it would be impossible. If zombies infect our world, I predict there will be both fast and slow.

Slow zombies = horror

Fast zombies = action

Fixed.

 

[Azner]

Fast zombies are going to be creepy, i mean zombies running after you and trying to gnaw your neck. I would rather go against 10 slow zombies that 2 fast ones.

 

[MJ12]

yeah, but fast zombies are overused these days.

we need a combination.

 

[highlander]

Midget zombies?

 

[StardogChampion]

No such thing as fast zombies.

 

[theotherguy]

Fast zombies are much scarier.

You all lost the game.

Also, fast zombies are scarier.

Slow zombies are better for sneaking around, when they're not moaning like spastics that is. Fasties are just there to kill you.

That's it. Slow zombies might frighten you in large numbers but if you translate that number into a mob of fast zombies (or infected like in the 28 x later series, or L4D) then it becomes a true test of who can shit themselves to most while running away.

 

[knut]

It still, to this day, amazes me how people die at the hands of slow zombies.

Fast zombies are much scarier. Be them zombies or not, the tunnel scene in 28 Days Later sums it up nicely.

People with a virus.

 

[knut]

Yeah no shit, but they aren't worlds apart from fast zombies in the remake of Dawn of the Dead, L4D...

Zombies or not, their insane ****ers running top speed at you with the sole intention to beat you senseless, eat you or infect you. The scenario remains the same, the fear is still there.

 

[MJ12]

I think if there was a slow zombie outbreak we would be able to contain it within a day, especially for how much zombie knowledge people have these days.

 

[Mech Man]

Imo both are as scarey as each other but for different reasons. The slow ones are all like "dood there are like , hundreds of us , you cant kill us all and eventually we gonna have our way with you" but the fast ones are all "We can run fast f**ker , we gonna keeel you".

 

[Omnomnick]

Slow zombies = comedy

Fast zombies = horror

Yes. But...

Normal Headcrabs = meh.

Fast Headcrabs = :O

 

[knut]

Slow zombies are ****ing scary, though. Come on, everyone here will admit to wincing whenever they come into contact with a poison zombie from Half-Life 2.

That's usually more because they throw poison headcrabs accuratly at you which take off all put 1 point of your health. On their own, without the headcrabs, the only part I dislike about them is the noise they make.

 

[MJ12]

First time I fought the Regular Zombies in HL2 it creeped me out.

Poison Zombies are always creepy, sometimes when I go into bathrooms and someone is in the stall, I will drag around making the Poison Zombie noises.

Sometimes I'll walk in and two dudes in two different stalls are talking about banging chicks, and then I'll make those noises and I'll get a-

Guy 1:"What the **** was that dude?"
Guy 2:"Wasn't me dude."
