Zombie Army Trilogy |OT| Nazi Zombies (no, not that one)

That's the M1 Carbine. I usually use the Lee-Enfield for it's 10 bullet magazine and bolt-action mechanism, though.
That flying corpse in slomo looks so epic.

Rebellion needs to add that to their "7 Reasons to Upgrade to Zombie Army Trilogy" video
Seeing this and the other videos that have been posted here and some of my less impressive shots I've done makes me wish the game had a way to automatically save those kill cam videos so they could be shared easier

Does one need to use a particular sniper rifle to have their bullet continue it's path like in that webm video above? Or was it because it was more of a glancing hit so the bullet kept going?
The game has grown on me since I last posted.
I still no doubt stand by the fact it just has to be more fun playing with other people, but it is still very enjoyable playing on your own.

Any rifle will do it. As long as there are a few zombies lined up in a row for the bullet to travel through. It won't happen 100% of the time, though. But you can increase how often the slow-mo x-ray cams happen via the options menu.
I have it set to 'reduced' as I've found that it loses it's novelty if I see it too often.

Finished the second chapter of the first campaign twice now and the trophy didn't pop. Is it bugged?
From what I've read so far, some people are also have problems with it. So yeah, probably bugged.
Wow! This video should be added to the OP.

A bit big in file size, I can turn up the frame rate or gif size if needed (or turn down), but here:

Someone should tweet it to them. I would do it myself but I don't use Twitter.

I managed to headshot a sniper zombie in mid-air, and the trophy didn't pop up...it was then that I realised that the trophy was for simply shooting them in mid-air...the headshot that I spent 20 minutes trying to get wasn't even necessary. ¬_¬
I'm on the second campaign now. I love how the whole map turns black and white whenever lightning strikes. Very nice touch.

A few observations I noticed also that they've changed at least from the first game (have not played the second game) outside of the advertised dismemberment system, female characters, x-ray, graphical improvements, etc:
-Sniper Elite difficulty seems tougher for some reason, I can't quite place my finger on it, but it seems a lot more challenging than it was is Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 1.
-With this, the machine gunning zombies seem MUCH harder now, they seemed to have been made with a lot thicker-skin now.
-When you die now, the black-and-white effect used is much nicer to look at now, and now there's audio! Previously, you'd not hear a single thing when spectating, now you hear washed-out sound effects but no music, big improvement.
-The gun selection at the start is slightly different now. You can now choose a shotgun from the get-go, for example, which you couldn't in the original.
-Your melee is MUCH more powerful now. I like the change, but others may disagree.
-For some reason, they changed the British dude to a German dude, so there's now two German dudes. Not quite sure why the change?
-They've changed some things in the environment. A lot of minor changes, like more detail/things in certain places. One of the more notable examples, in the first stage, you go to a desk to summon a giant horde that come down a street to the building. In the original, the desk was just.. A desk. You interacted with it, and the horde summoned. In the Trilogy, there's now a big glowing skull there that has an animation when you interact with it which summons the horde. There's more subtle things they added as well, and other things like what I just mentioned.

So, the bullet fromthat first slo-mo shot, did it really go from the base of the zombies head and come out of its ass?
Jesus...
Holy shit at the last shot though. Perfection.

Thanks, just felt like there were a few times I should have seen it but I did not, perhaps I just have not pulled it off yet.
Whatever the default is is what I have it set to, so will check, maybe I need to bump it up a notch.

Getting a slo-mo kill cam coinciding with a lightning strike looks amazing.
Can't get over how bloody fantastic this game is.

That reminds me of this shot of mine:
The bullet passed through his lower back and out of his ass. As if getting scalped wasn't enough. XD

So hey I've played V2, which one would be the better buy for ps4? Zombie trilogy or V3? Are there any noticeable difference in the gameplay styles? Like does ZT play like V2 or does it have more of the "openness" of V3?
SE3 and ZAT play quite differently, despite sharing the same framework.
ZAT is more linear while SE3 has mostly open levels and has an emphasis on stealth (but can still be played guns blazing).

Picking this up tonight or tomorrow.
Question: I see "points" pop up in videos I'm watching. Is there some kind of persistent character element to this game, like skills to upgrade or unlock?

Nope, it's just a leaderboard type thing.
