Contagion

Contagion

Contagion takes place in a fictional world where the original Roanoke Colony thrived up until now. A contagion of unknown origins has infected the locals turning them into a mindless horde of flesh eating zombies. It is up to the remaining survivors to escape, extract, or hunt one another if they are to survive the horrors they now face. Contagion isn't your average Zombie Shooter but instead takes a more realistic and different approach to the popular genre with unique characters, environments, weapons, items, and a built in system that makes every round completely unpredictable with resources, objectives, and paths ever changing.

Features:

UNPREDICTABLE GAMEPLAY
Play alone, via lan, or online with family, friends, or other members of the community. You start out as a survivor of an unknown contagion that has turned your world upside down forcing you to scavenge for limited resources where each time you play you must seek weapons, ammo, items at a new location, where the undead may or may not be where they were before in fewer or greater numbers, and even the paths you once took may now be blocked forcing you to find another way to complete your goal. A steady hand, managing what little ammo you've found, and using your head are required to complete your goals or you'll find yourself part of the flesh eating horde yourself. Every time you play you'll find things have changed sometimes quite drastically making each play-through new for both new players and veterans alike.

ADAPT TO AN EVER CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
With 3 unique game-modes that suggest or insist on co-op to follow a set of randomly generated objectives to escape, or secure a location and extract innocent survivors where the paths and spawns have changed promoting exploration and the need to watch each others back. Of course not everyone is a team player and while having to deal with the same obstacles as before the lack of trust and need for resources in our Hunted game-mode turns survivor against survivor while avoiding the infected... or not.

STOCK UP ON THE NECESSITIES
With a GROWING arsenal of over 28 firearms, explosives, melee weapons, tools, and more. We won't stop there as we provide you with what you need to fend off, fight, or hunt your way to survival! But please keep in mind that you need to manage your inventory and an item once used may be useful later on. Plan ahead before discarding anything.

IMMERSE YOURSELF
Contagion is built on a heavily modified version of the Source Engine that is constantly being optimized for low and high end rigs to best immerse yourself in-game. We've pushed the Engine as far as it can go while still enjoying high frame rates, lag compensation for those with high pings, over 500 Official Servers to choose from, a unique HUD/UI, and custom shaders (optional) that all give the game the AAA feel even without the AAA budget. Contagion is also one of the very few games where you get the chance to play as the undead which we've been doing now for over 10 years.

PLAY AS THE SURVIVOR
With ammo scarce every round counts so know your weapon! Don't waste time beating or firing on an already broken body. Sure they'll eventually go down, especially as you remove limbs and organs but returning to the true tradition of Zombie Survival you want to take out an infected's brain. Hitting an ear, nose, mouth, or other traditional "Headshot" related impact will hurt but not instantly put one down. You'll need to either sneak up and silently kill with your melee, or charge up a blow or swing and damage the brain (accurately placed) beyond repair.
If relying on a firearm knowing the effective range and accuracy of your weapon is extremely important as well as holding your ground and using your weapons scope or ironsights for maximum accuracy. A survivor crouched, with a high velocity rifle, using the weapons scope or ironsights is less likely to miss their intended target and penetrate the brain while another who's on the move and shooting from the hip will be frustrated to find out that our weapons aren't loaded with smart rounds that do all the work for you. Do be careful where you lob a grenade and take cover as you don't want to fall victim to your own weapons. If the horde before you is too large or you find you're lacking the ammo to defend yourself be sure to use the cover of local fauna or sprint out of sight of zombies so they lose your scent and hope they don't stumble into you or you into them.
Each game-mode also includes a set of features on your in-game smartphone that help you find and complete your next objective, a gps showing you a path to your next location as well as indicators of fellow teammates and AI survivors that require your help to barricade and hold the fort till extraction arrives, or use your bluetooth as you hunt down survivors for their gear as they appear on your phone if in close proximity even allowing you to ping their phone to give off their position but this is a double edged sword so be careful.

PLAY AS THE UNDEAD
Whether you were left behind by your team, got overwhelmed by the horde, or hunted down for what little you had in your inventory, you're now one of the undead. Use your zombie senses to move through the dark easily, spot victims, fellow player zombies, or the unlucky infected survivor and track them. Take advantage of every opportunity and sneak up on survivors grappling them and sinking your teeth deep into their throats allowing other zombies to attack and potentially infect them, that is of course if you're not interrupted by other survivors.
Use your roar ability to call zombies close to you and create your horde to quickly break through doors and barricades, assault survivors as AI attacks also have the potential of infecting players who will either die at the hands of the undead or given time turn from the infection and joint he ranks unless they manage to reach the end and are rescued. You can also direct attacks or using your blend feature let the AI take over your character making it harder for survivors to pick you out of the horde or shambling zombies with the hope that this will let their guard down giving you a significant advantage. Unlike survivors you can also scale fences and other obstacles since you have your hands free making it easier to navigate your way to your target(s).

PLAY AS THE... COCKROACH?
While the undead outnumber the living, player zombies do need to be careful not to charge head first into a sledgehammer or bullet as you can return as a semi intelligent player controlled zombie for only so long before forced into our unique spectate mode. As a spectator you can traverse the map as easily as a survivor and/or zombie but beyond creeping out players as disgusting, fluttering cockroach you're nothing more than a spectator that can be crushed, smashed, shot, or blown apart only to return as another roach waiting to see the outcome of the game. Apparently cockroaches can survive whatever apocalypse is thrown at them.

A TEAMS DEDICATION
