Well, in many cases of the zombie appocalypse, the cause is either a virus or left unknown. Fast zombies tend to be mutated zombies, or zombies with a greater bloodlust and fewer limbs eaten. The mutations make them better hunters, for hunting us.MR.Spartacus said:I played the shambler type in a "camo" jacket and "Love Machine" T-shirt. Yeah definitely slow and shambling. Seriously though decomposition isn't going to help with movement or vision so if they can't see well why would they try to run?
I prefer being a Human in a version of the appocalypse where the virus/curse/whatever is NOT airborn, and I either am immune or unscathed. Then I would break out my dozens of files and blueprints for traps, and construct a fort at (or just run like hell, while tossing pipe bombs over my shoulder, to) the local shopping mall, while putting my plan to rewire a hydro-powerplant, to run directly to where ever I may be holding out against my doom, into action.
Unless a bunch of my allies decide to try and sail away on a boat, I am sure as hell not going to the docks.
*remembering the credits for the Dawn of the Dead remake*
If I were to be a zombie, I would definately want to be one of those huge friggin monsters from Resident Evil.
