Zombie Master

Overview

Zombie Master is a multiplayer Half-Life 2 modification, centred around a zombie-apocalypse, which throws all but one player in the shoes of human survivors. Pitched against a relentless tide of rotting flesh, they must scavenge for weaponry and equipment just to stay alive. But that one player, chosen randomly at the beginning of the round, is not bound by mortal restraints.

To speak his name is to invite the wrath of hell - but most call him the 'Zombie Master'. He is nigh omnipotent. His invisible hand controls the legions of undead like puppets on strings; slowly closing the net on the humans while they run to and fro like rats in a maze.

History

Zombie Master was started in late July 2005, with an emphasis on getting it to work and work well rather than concentrating on flashy content. As a result of this, we were at the playable alpha state at the start of August, and code and content has progressed continually since then. Zombie Master was released Sunday the 15th of April 2007, and has been updated regularly since
