So acording to this post
http://www.zombiepanic.org/forums/showpost.php?p=83224&postcount=2
There is something called the Carrier. What do you think it is?
Personally I think its a human that carries infinite ammo but walks really slow and has low health. When he dies no more free ammo for your team.

Carrier - The first Zombie of the round will differ a lot from the other undead, he will look different, sound different and have abilities that the average zombie can only dream of. He is the Carrier!

Nothing is stopping you from discussing how the carrier may play, or any thing else about the carrier.

I'm guessing it will have more health, and some sort of special ranged attack.

That made me lulz for some reason.
It'll most likely just be faster and regenerate health naturally. I'd like to say some kind of pounce that leeches onto a player, dropping him to the floor for you and the rest of the zombies to finish off. But from what people say, Source has problems with things like that.

WUT! i wna see a zombie that looks like that!:zombo: so i can shoot it!

I suppose it's a zombie with faster speed than normal, can do more damage to humans with its generic attack, and possibly (if not in the first release then later) some kind of special attack.
Basically to make it easier for the starting zombie to amass his army of the undead.

mmmm and from that picture he looks to be some kind of alien....with part of his head missing...and REALLY big teeth. If the carrier is what The Hilarity said it is, then it's going to be alot more fun to be starting zombie
Hastings

Nah he is not an alien, his head it just bloated and rotten. He looks more normal ingame.

perhaps :P perhaps not :D
I think the carrier is some alien from outer-space because of the way it looks and it'll probably be able to use super-powers and stuff...
No, not really, I would HOPE the carrier is what some of y'all think it might be like the "one of many" zombie that is a lot better than the others...
MapMan
12-23-2007, 01:12 PM
Carrier is a HOAX!
Haha!
They haven't realized that the carrier is the zombie 'driving a car'.
How else could it be fun being zombie? :P
If I didn't know...and took a wild guess...I'd say like an atomic bomb or something to save the day lol
NeoAssassin
12-23-2007, 03:39 PM
It's a zombie with layzor hands, cmon guys. You should know that
ahahaha neoassassin look at all of your posts!
That would actually make ZP: source more funner: of all the zombies, one is the random carrier spawn... or there is one random carrier spawn in the whole map being played...
Casanova
12-23-2007, 07:35 PM
i wonder what happens to it after it dies... would you still respawn as the carrier or would you just respawn as a normal zombie?
CaptainSnake
12-23-2007, 07:36 PM
I also forgot to add this. I wonder if the carrier with resemble anything like the protoss carrier because it reminds me of it (maybe having swarms of killer bees or something lolz). I think the carrier would probably get a ranged attack though.

I COULD VOMIT BILE ON THEM :D

Now THAT would be pretty awesome.
More awesome is getting to throw your arm or a limb as ranged attack XD

Ranged attacks are sorta dumb in my opinion

12-23-2007, 10:25 PM
The Carrier does not have ranged attacks.
NeoAssassin
12-23-2007, 10:27 PM
Good, that makes me happy. Cause ranged attacks for them is basically, "ZOMBIE WITH GUN LAWL"
Hastings
12-23-2007, 10:37 PM
Why do people think that vomit would be a usefull attack, and where did the whole idea come from???

Sounds like it's from Resident Evil to me.
Hastings
12-24-2007, 03:34 AM
Thats one thing that will never cease to amaze me, just about everything in RE is not zombie. Sure some things get turned into undead, but thats purly a side effect of the mutating virus.
The Kinslayer

I know, I'd rather traditional Night/Dawn of the Dead style zombies any day!
Unreal.Fang
12-24-2007, 06:45 AM
OMG why do you guys think its some type of badass mutha trucker? it could be some weak enemy and rly slow with weak attacks and it MIGHT carrie, ''Ammo, health packs, a gun or 2, and an objective item'' thats my idea.
oh and if i am wrong then the carrier is just a weak zombie, with powerful attacks anf slow speed and also it carries head crabs lawl
Hastings
12-24-2007, 11:57 AM
Nope, but that is an intriguing idea.
NeoAssassin
12-24-2007, 12:04 PM
Are the different game modes changed by cvar? Or are they dependent on certain maps?

The carrier delivers mail and packages directly to the survivors located in their hiding spots in a prompt manner.
NeoAssassin
12-24-2007, 01:04 PM
There better not be blood on the package!

The Carrier seems more or less an attempt at giving the starting zombie player that extra edge. This might mean less zombie-quitters and, overall, more noob friendly. It may even encourage volunteering for the zombie team.
Sgt Pepper
12-24-2007, 01:29 PM
Good point Mantis, I stopped volunteering when zombie jumping was limited. Hopefully being the carrier will be a lot of fun (maybe just as much as being a survivor) to get rid of the problem of leavers.
Hastings
12-24-2007, 01:50 PM
While I dont know about being noob friendly, being carrier does have its advantages, and its possible (probable?) that later down the road it mightt get even more ejoyable. Who knows what the future holds?

Omg SuperNubb! I watched a video of you playing the ZM on CS:S on Gametrailers.com once before I even had CS:S and was still just lurking this mod! I never once before though I would ever meet you!
Lol, and I loved your spray with that chick in a bikini, she was HOT! Raowr!

Hmm, it would be cool if like the Carrier could jump higher and faster, but like when he jumped, he didnt float, it was just like a fast jump, non of this jumping high and floating down like a feather crap.
AssTraffic
12-27-2007, 12:01 PM
28 days later thing is feasible - Couldn't the zombies infect through any contact? Blood and vommit being two key factors.
Are they doing away with having the survivor die and respawn when he gets turned to zombie? Like when a survivor gets taken down by a zombie he would fall to the floor for a few seconds and then rise back up as this evil living dead creature from the spot the survivor was just killed at.
If the carrier has more speed/health benefits/damage then the players who get turned to zombies later will be slower? So those types will have to rely more on sneak attacks and the likes?

well technically those weren't zombies, they were people infected by pure rage and it killed them in 28 days, 28weeks later explains all that...
AssTraffic
12-27-2007, 12:09 PM
right, 28 weeks later was an even better movie as well. It still leads me believe that any sort of contact that severe could very possibly infect someone. As for having vommiting in the game? We can probably skip that, I'd prefer a leap

a leap would be cool... or being able to scale walls that would be even cooler... to bad zombies cant jump though.... BUT THEY CAN IN ZP! :zombo:
