Sticking with the zombie thing that seems to have taken over:
A zombie MMO/FPS would be amazing. You could model an entire city and the surrounding suburbs and maybe some farmland but a smaller city like Philadelphia or Baltimore. Survivors can lone wolf or travel in packs, give people the ability to stake out buildings, create barriers, scrounge for food, weapons, clothing, etc. Force people to find a safe house if they want to log off or risk being found if they disconnect somewhere out in the open.
In this kind of game it isn't about leveling up or getting amazing equipment, just surviving for as long as you possibly can until your character is killed. There would have to be playable zombies with special abilities who could lead the horde. Maybe they aren't like the Tank in L4D but they can snag 5-10 of the NPC zombies and lead them around. Get enough player zombies together with their entourage and assault houses, skyscrapers, etc.
If you live in the city there is a larger zombie population but more food, clothing and weapons. If you live in the suburbs there are fewer zombies but less of the things you need to survive so you would have to choose a location based on those factors also.
Finally, when your character dies you can choose to restart as a human or continue as a zombie, however, zombies should also be capable of a final death if they are shot in the head, massively crippled or something like that so if you are playing as a zombie you don't just throw yourself at buildings over and over knowing that you will just respawn.
