What Happened to CEDA and the Military during/after Left 4 Dead?

[@fallingbed1]

I understand the military and ceda dying off to these zombies but the military dying to walking dead zombies is just humiliating

[@BlueRaven893]

Both fictional types of zombies overthrowing militaries is a bit ludicrous. I try to enjoy the story anyway, as long as they don't half-ass explain how it happened.

[@Fenrick]

@@BlueRaven893 To be fair Left 4 Dead hints that the infection is airborne, so the vast majority of people were probably not infected by bites or anything, but by airborne transmission. It's also shown that asymptomatic carriers are somewhat common. These are probably the reason they got overrun, not because they couldn't mow some zombies down.

[@BlueRaven893]

@@Fenrick I'd tend to agree, but there is evidence in the L4D one and two maps that show containment zones being overrun. And, I wasn't saying mowing them down was the sole reason in and out, but that it was a militaristic failure to handle the situation by any means, weapons or not, that was ludicrous.

It clearly was full of infected. It was no passenger car, in fact it was a reinforced one and labeled as biohazard danger, so the most likely case is that they were taking a group of infected for research or something, but with the unstoppable chaos the train eventually derailed (maybe the railroad engineer got infected) and crashed, because considering the good state of the train car the tank was held in, it's highly unlikely/impossible that the tank was the sole cause the whole train crashed

To be honest, CEDA did a shitty job at controlling public panic. Not even their hired private security agents could handle the crowds.

[@Kindrov]

I think Ceda and the military are morally divided seeing one side wants to save people, the other wants to take the safest route and just kill people in the area. I can understand why because the virus is so unpredictable seeing it goes through protection( If it was just zombies I think it wouldn't be a problem).

[@Top2BottomGaming]

Multiple factors people forget -Soldiers only carry 270-300 rounds of ammunition. -What do you do when the bodies pile up, your fuel runs out, etc? Logistics will start falling apart -If the virus is airborne, what do you do when your soldiers start turning? (Not applicable in all scenarios -The military is trained for bodyshots, and expect people to drop after 1-2, and for those people to use cover, etc. In this situation, they’re relentless and can get shot and not react. -Aircraft won’t solve everything, they’re stationed around the world, and you have to get fuel, ordinance, etc. Not everything is instantious -Soldiers are going to be reluctant to follow orders to shoot their own citizens, at least initially. -Civilians are going to flee to the military, and now they have to worry about who is infected, who’s already turned, and who isn’t infected. -Is that a drunken hobo shambling down the street or is that someone about to kill me? -People aren’t going to want to shoot friends, family, etc. Heres a radio transcript from a zombie game, and it makes a good point. H = Show Host M = Mike M: This is my advice: shoot for the head. H: What if you don't have a gun Mike? M: Then you find a goddamn gun. M: Bullets to the torso... limbs... they don't slow them. M: And they sure as hell don't make them hurt. M: Go for the brain. M. Hell, if you lose your gun then use a bat. M: Just burst their heads like a fuckin' balloon. H: These are people's families you're talking about Mike. M: You haven't seen one, have you? M: They're not even human. It was an evacuation to reorganize and plan to strike back. The US Military would likely have to do it just to have everything ready, evacuations of civilians and then pull out the military, hold the line, and once they have a grip on it, Start taking out the infected.

[@sithknight7740]

The conversation with the radio host is from Project Zomboid, another amazing game. There's also another one where a Gulf War Vet describes how most dead bodies he's seen are at peace, but these ones aren't and are just empty. Creepy shit

[@bluscout1857]

about the aircraft part, i agree it won’t solve anything however they can definitely help out, they can probably be used to keep hordes and special infected at bay by using aircraft like Apache helicopters or AC130s, they can also use the airforce to destroy crossing areas for potential zombies like bridges and tunnels, not to mention they can also provide fire support for nearby soldiers or evacuation helicopters, either way yes they won’t solve anything but they will definitely help and also i feel like realistically if a zombie apocalypse did happen irl the UN would come to help

[@saskilla1945]

They carry more ammo than that

[@some-replies]

Just the sheer numbers of infected makes them a fearsome foe. Airborne on top of that and it's kinda hard to keep people organized. Most soldiers are kids fresh out of school, how are they gonna handle thousands of bodies and friends turning

[@filmandfirearms]

@@bluscout1857 Firstly, I think you vastly overestimate both the numbers and effectiveness of the AC-130. It was a purpose built aircraft for Vietnam that didn't really have much utility outside of that theater, and as such, didn't see much use after the Vietnam war was over. Helicopters don't typically carry bombs, with most attack helicopters not even being able to mount them, and rockets are pretty ineffective against infantry, on account of their relatively small explosive payload. Really, the only reason rockets have ever been used against infantry is as a psychological weapon. If you've ever heard a Katyusha firing, you know what I'm talking about. There are tons of accounts of inexperienced German soldiers being scared shitless by them, but the experienced guys actually were more relaxed than when they were under gun artillery fire, since they knew how ineffective they actually were. Regarding destroying bridges and the like, that's what combat engineers are for. Much quicker to deploy and the only reason a team of combat engineers would consume fuel is if one of them drinks from the wrong jerry can

The real reason why the Military struggled was because most of their troops weren't carriers. As we see them in gameplay in large hordes of common infected. A lot of them were not immune, and some were killed before they could turn, or were carries and were killed in action due to being overwhelmed. The virus can also be airborne, so while they kill any hordes and survive/not attacked to become infected manually, the virus will infected them upon the air they breath, so they'll randomly turn in front of their troops attacking their own allies, and any random horde nearby by appear, or they'll all kill each other and eventually turn like the rest. They also have to worry about reloading after spraying their entire magazine, switching to their side-arm, eventually having no choice to reload, which may get them killed while attempting. Their main worry is: Immunity, Ammunition, Space, Population, Armory, Infection rate, Shelter, Backup, Airborne virus, Special infected, Raiders, Riots, Hordes, Evacuation, Checkpoints, Bases, Radio contact, etc.

[@unclelarry8842]

I like to think the reason you see almost zero infected military uniforms in Left 4 Dead 2 (I said almost because of that one infected paratrooper in Swamp Fever) is because the military finally got their shit together and learned from their past mistakes. All this military equipment that was left behind was because they were forced to leave it as they make organized retreats against the hordes of infected.

[@Donald_Here]

@@unclelarry8842 That is most likely true, but the infection is sometimes airborne, and not. Unless they had a new order to retreat once the first infection is spotted, due to the amount of risks, and sacrifices the soldiers did. I think as you said decided to take jack shit anymore and judt went to each checkpoint further away to the most "secure outpost" that would fire down a siege.

[@Donald_Here]

@@unclelarry8842 It also explains why the Parish had a lot of un-infected corpses as the citizens began to panic and riot against/flee from the incoming infected forcing the U.S. Personnel to go into a desperate need of action, forcing them to shoot everything like in 28 weeks later scene. They couldn't risk who was who. The saferooms are also most likely carriers were escorted to the buildings, and shot dead secretely, as people imply on the walls to kill the carriers, implying the carriers will just spread further chaos, as it is known the U.S. Military took the carriers else where, away from un-infected people.

[@WisteriaNerium]

Fucking-A, that's an actually well thought up comment. I got so frustrated reading a guy saying "Well the military wouldn't have been overrun" and when presented with arguments he'd say shit like "yeah, I'm aware." without even putting any thought into actually replying with a counterargument. I think the infection being air-borne and highly infectious and mutagenic already tips the scale in favor of the infected so early on. The south in L4D2 generally fared a lot better than Pennsylvania (and probably the rest of the Northeast too), you actually see successful CEDA evacuations (Dead Center and Whispering Oaks) and there are hints that the towns you see in Swamp Fever and Hard Rain that held their ground and the remaining survivors had the same idea of going to New Orleans. The fact that there are more graffitis in L4D1 than in 2, probably meant that more people spent more time in safe houses and were sitting ducks instead of trying to move. Also something curious is that the military base from the Sacrifice comic had no idea of special infected, and it appears it was cut off before the game even began. Meanwhile in the Vannah in L4D2 you see that CEDA had a conference room where they knew of the special infected, had captured a boomer and even knew the conversion rates of most special infected, but didn't know about the witch for some reason. Makes me wonder if the CEDA and military efforts in the north of the east coast were abandoned in favor of trying to hold the south and that's why New Orleans held out as much as it did.

I would like to play a zombie game where you start as a Military officer, and have a unit or platoon of Soldiers under your command in a small town, army or NG, and you lose contact with command and from there have to either protect your troops, protect the townsfolk, or just leave with the unit, and you choose how to handle thigns in the early days, either being hardcore, tyrranical, working with or conscripting people, Police, or other groups, raiding or building up and clearing towns ETC as you go around and either try to just survive, or build an army, to either be a warlord, try to reestablish a civillian government, or try find others around the country. Because you are government andm ilitary you can get access to tanks, apcs, helis, and serious hardware but unless you either have workers or have facilities, or both, you'll lose access to more advanced things early on, and forces you to really plan their deployment. Like do you try take over the small town to supply yourself, and as that happens it's chaos because infection is going on, so do you start kicking in doors and getting civvies together as militia? Will that cause resentment, panic, and chaos? IS it worth it? IF you're an army do you make a new civillian government to serve or go junta until emergency is over? Do you abandon post or stick around and do your duty? How do you handle survivor camps? Do you force them to give you their guns and supplies? Do you conscript them?

You can also clearly see all the Marine equipment being used throughout the L4D2 campaign like the CH-53 Sea Stallion (used both in Dead Center and The Parish), both of which are commonly known to be used within the Marines.

The problem in movies and games is that there are too much infected. In the walking dead when Rick came the first time too Atlant, there was a shit ton of infected zombies. Frank Darabont, one of the producers from the walking dead. He planed to do a whole episode on the fall of Atlanta from the military perspective(something like 28 weeks later when the outbreak happend). He had a scenario that would follow a unit of soldiers that were droped in the city just when the military started to get over-run by the infected. It would mostly focus on one soldier. The camera would act similary like in saving private ryan. When Rick came inside the tank in Atlanta. He found a zombie and that zombie was suposed to be the one that Frank Darabont wanted to do in the first episode of season 2 of the walking dead. But sadly he got firerd just before season 2.
