Romero zombie is scary.

*new weapon spoiler*













ETA: got my hands on the V-R11, one of the wonder weapons for this map. Turns zombies back into humans, but I'm not sure how useful it is. Once human, they run for the fricking hills and I'm not sure if they attract zombies or not, it was kind of hectic when I was trying it out.

Do you actually get to use the machetes/pitch fork or whatever mele weapons were shown in the trailer?

Nope, no machetes that I saw. I used the scavenger though, its a sniper rifle with explosive rounds. This map is epic, I've never seen anything like it. It is by far the biggest one they've made. I played it a few times and i still havent covered all of its ground yet

with regard to machetes, pitchforks, etc...

there is a cutscene to start the level off if you play solo and all of those weapons are used during said cutscene. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that you would be able to use them in game. sorry.

I was bummed when I found out the secret song was Avenged Sevenfold. I was hoping for that song they lifted from the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack they used in the trailer.

Same thing happened to me. Once he goes into berserk mode, he's really difficult to contain.

If you get him into one of the lakes throughout the map, it'll cool his arse down. Makes him easier to manage.

Yeah, he is nasty, you have to get him in the water to make him stop running

Im not a fan of random zombie spawns. Its hard enough with the multitude of windows, doors, etc. Is there a way to stop george? I can see him being a problem as more zombies attack.

There is an easter egg "quest" in this map:

The original cast of the zombies storyline is stuck in a room underneath the lighthouse and you need to go through a series of steps to help them out. So far, all I've figured out is that there is a fuse you can toss into a panel next to the room that gives them power. Fuse is one floor above that area. You have to find some destroyable objects after that and I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Bullets weren't doing the trick and I was a little light on grenades at the time...

gamefaqs forums are full of threads speculating how to figure out all the steps.

Just got to 17 and it seems like avoiding him is the only option.

I played a game where Romero was following some people down a zipline and he fell off onto a rock. Obviously a glitch because he got stuck in the rock and eventually disappeared. never returned to the map after that.

So I have a PS3, and with PS3 being down I haven't posted much on the GB or even checked it really for that matter. I watched the trailer Stout posted about Call of the Dead. Would one of you that have played it care to explain it some more? Who is Romero? I'm guessing the George guy is the pissed off guy?

george romero.

director of a bunch of classic zombie films. It can be argued that he is the originator of the zombie genre. I thought he was well known.

The level is really big, with alot of gates. and freezing water but idk if its a glitch or what but if you jump up and down in the water you won't freeze. And a couple new guns like exploding sniper and a gun that turns zombies human. you can only kill george with upgraded guns

there are no special waves (monkeys, dogs, etc). Instead George Romero is always roaming around. He usually walks slow unless you piss him off by shooting him or getting too close.

There are a bunch of freezing ponds scattered throughout the map, if you lead him to one of those areas, he'll calm the frick down and go back to slowly moving around the map.
