but there you see the potential, if it would be executed properly it could be a great and long-living gamemode
FTRP on LP and it's last run on NC was run horribly.
The lore would need a massive re-do.
It's either this:
Literally 1 week after the outbreak, (Makes sense, considering all mutant character start at Tier 1 and are piss weak) People are going fucking berserk in Cities, looters, criminals, the Military and Police are still trying to fight off the mutants.
Very Action focused, more guns and loot, sorta L4D vibes.
Or:
1 year after the outbreak (All mutant character would be at their maximum level by this point, don't fucking lie to me) most of the population is dead, most guns have been lost under piles of infected corpses that everyone knows not to loot, infection's almost guaranteed. The only military is foreign ones, and they're not friendly, killing off anyone under the assumption that they're all infected. Maybe a subplot about Russia wanting to take over the destroyed America and use it as a stronghold once it's killed off the entire population, either with infantry or with bombs (Bombs would be rare, Russia doesn't want to damage the Country too severely.)
More PassiveRP, less loot, more teamwork and a common enemy to fight against that isn't pure fucking evil.
