Each time you up the difficulty friendly fire becomes more damaging, so it's important not to cut in front of your teammates. If your group handles the swarm with ease, you can test your mettle with five difficulty levels. Saber also recorded four variables of each line of dialogue for the characters to keep the game feeling somewhat fresh. Saber designed each level, but several variables like equipment drops and obstacles are randomized each playthough to make the missions replayable.
Since World War Z throws a lot of enemies at you at once, Saber isn't interested in creating a resource-scarce environment. A healthy amount of ammo and resupply points are provided in each level, but an A.I. Taking care of these special enemies when they appear should be the priority before laying waste to the dozens of regular zombies charging your position. Screamers can attract more enemies to the location, and hazmats drop stink bombs that drain health. Bulls charge into the group and deal massive damage. As with other team-centric experiences like Payday and Left 4 Dead, your group won't last long if it doesn't stick together.Ĭertain special enemy types require more coordination than others. When facing these overwhelming odds, it's smart to set up some defense kits like machine-gun turrets and mortars to cut through their ranks.Ī four-player cooperative experience, the World War Z campaign is built around teamplay. Every level has at least one swarm encounter where the zombies pour in by the hundreds and the squad needs to hunker down and take care of business. Untended swarms will often form a thick ring of death around you, but Saber handily relocated the melee attack to the right bumper so you can pull out a machete (or another melee weapon) and start hacking away without having to swap out your weapon. A high volume will pile up to clear vertical obstacles and charge at you with wild abandon. The Swarm Engine is purposefully built to handle up to 500 zombies on the screen at one time.
Rather than settle, Saber instead built a new engine from the ground up. The problem was none of the third-party engines they considered could handle that without significantly compromising graphical fidelity. When Saber Interactive set out to build a World War Z game, the team knew it wanted to flood the maps with zombies so it looked like the movies.
