They'd be rather easy to catch out as the game stands right now, mainly because the player is the only human alive in the world :P

Yep, but there are tons of human corpses, so why not have it disquise itself as a corpse until someone staggers upon it, and BAM ! Death from a corpse

As a random suggestion, there should be some places where there are artificial atmoshpere systems, with a chance of some rooms being broken and flooding the rooms with 100% oxygen. Apart from the unfortunate consequences of starting a fire, it could also damage you if you hang around for a very long time.

Strangely I haven't come across any human corpses. Maybe there should be some random corpses that spawn at the beginning of the game that don't become zombies. I'm not really sure how the whole zombification process in this game works though.

I fidn them everywhere usually corpses of (Heavily-Armed) civilians, or scientists.

Oh yeah. I somehow forgot about the military and scientist patrols.

Random helidrops of armed soldier patrols would be cool, if you were close enough you might be able to hear the helicopter, and the soldiers would walk around killing any zombies/anything that moved.

Also, they should be able to drop you off at their (still active) army base if you get to the heli in time.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

It would be awesome if the base got invaded by a massive horde of zombies when you got there to.

Maybe if the soldier count at the base went above a certain threshold they would order you to get to a safe place, if it fell below that one of them would toss you a gun and tell you to join the defense.

A movie of that just went through my head (it was an Ascii Movie. Odd.)

To dig deeper, if only a few soldiers survived and zombies were still in the base one of them would grab a radio and call in reinforcements, which instead would call in a bombing run that would bomb the base to hell and you had a few minutes in-game to get the heck out before you went down with it.

Wait, what? Why would they bombard the base when someone's still alive? I'd imagine our policy of "Leave no man behind" would have them send a rescue team first, then bomb the base. At least, I think.

Most of humanity is dead, a base is crawling with zombies, they'd lose more men trying to rescue those guys then what they would actually save.
