Topic: Zombies Invade Grand Theft Auto IV
Infection unlocked. Is quarantine the only cure?
If you've been playing Grand Theft Auto IV recently, you might have noticed a new character skin a zombie wearing yellow briefs. No, it's not your imagination (you sick jerk). It's the newest dastardly development from Rockstar.
If you kill an infected player in a multiplayer match, you'll become zombified yourself. According to Rockstar, telltale signs that your opponent might be a zombie include a.) looking like a zombie and b.) having the achievement "Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie." That achievement is unlocked when you kill a Rockstar developer or pop someone who has.
Rockstar recently hosted a weekend-long event on Xbox Live giving gamers the opportunity to play with them and nab that achievement. Apparently, there was also a secondary motive. Namely, unleashing a zombie pandemic on Liberty City. Oops.
According to a post on the Rockstar Social Club official site, infected players don't necessarily show symptoms (i.e. the zombie skin with the yellow briefs), so trust no one. The site also now features an interactive map showing the extent of the outbreak and an updated tally of the infected. Apparently, as of this writing, more than 603,000 players have been zombified thus far, with 1,300 falling within the last 24 hours.
But a recent Rockstar-created ad on the Social Club site suggests something may be in the works to curb the spreading disease. It's a simple sign from Eugenics Inc. (a real in-game location) warning of a coming quarantine:
No word yet from Rockstar on what it could mean or whether possible cure for the monstrous ailment is in the works. After Halloween, perhaps? The appearance of the sign has led to some speculation that the coming GTA IV downloadable content could be related to the multiplayer zombie outbreak.
We're still in the dark about what form the GTA IV DLC will take, but we'll let you know once R* starts talking.

How I wish that they include this on the main game not just on the multiplayer...

Wow, Resident Evil meets GTA 4. Now that might be rather interesting. I'll have to pass this info out to some friends. Thanks!

I was infected about 5 weeks after I got the game
it seems like it is downloadable content, maybe a new set of missions where Niko will have to kill Zombies or Niko will become a Zombie
