Dead Frontier, something to hold us over until L4D?

Jast

Dead Frontier is a 2D top down, graphical and free mmorpg. Basically, think of it as a graphical Urban Dead, and instead of facing other players, you're facing npcs. The premise of the game, is that you start out as a rookie, and have to survive and become more powerful. There are many different classes with many different bonuses and drawbacks. The game is all browser based, and when you go out to do missions and switches to a 2d isometric view that plays in flash. You can play with other players and go out and raid, and try to get weapons and supplies. In camp, you can buy things, upgrade your character, etc. You can tell it was designed by one guy, but I know people loves zombie, love co-op. and love free games, so we can give it a try for a while.

I'm in as a Medic.

Yes, a person, soon we shall slay zombies.

Edit: Just got killed, I'll start up a room.

Server created, password is pa. To get there, click on outpost, then click on inner city. You should see my server on the list.

Because this is only a Beta there will likely be many bugs, crashes and other problems.

Dude, this proviso doesn't fill my AVG with confidence.

Jast

Don't worry I haven't had any problems. If something goes wrong, since my comp is so old, I'll go first.

Jast

Haha, opening the inventory causes the game to crash. May have to wait until this one is fully release.

Edit: Didn't crash this time. Game on!

Runs like crap on my computer The gameplay is pretty fun, like a slower all zombie Crimsonland. Hopefully the multiplayer gets perfected soon.

I was wondering when a Dead Frontier thread would be made. I'm playing a lvl 9 fireman right now, name of Flanky. Look through my inventory, if you see anything you need/want i will probably give it to you
If you're too lazy to read through a wiki:
Some basic stuff for you dudes: The bigger the gun/sword/axe you have, the more aggro you draw, and faster. You start as basic shamblers, and some fat shamblers. You go from there to sprinting zombies, to sprinting fat zombies, to long armed sprinters, green zombies, and those guys are nasty and you should not be near them yet.
The farther right you go, the nastier the baddies you meet. Go far enough with high enough aggro and you'll meet a boss zombie.
Going on an item run is incredibly helpful if you know what you're doing. Do your best not to even attack any zombies. Search everything you can while keeping your aggro low. Running back and forth between 2 screens does not refresh items.
Everything is player-oriented, you buy items from other players and you buy services from them.



Also: Tab talks, shift sprints

Game freaked out on me. I'm done for tonight, I'll try again tomorrow.
