Shooting attract walkers?

edited June 2012 in The Walking Dead
How come Morgan can snipe zombies from the 2nd floor of his house and it doesnt seem to attract walkers to attack his home?
But in the rest of the series and the game a single shot attract zombies and they seem to know exactly where you are and so on.

    silencer?

    are you refering to the black guy who helps ric after he gets out the hospital?

    the walkers return to the house at certain times among them morgans 'walker' wife.. he cries as he is unable to shoot her..

    so it's possible her memory is working in some 'small' way she is guided to the house and the other walkers will follow..

    infact any loud noise attracts walkers

    But Morgan shoots many walkers on the street before he spots his wife.
    And that rifle he is firing makes plenty of noise.

    yeah so it can also depend on how many walkers are within hearing distance?

    and if he shoots em they ain't coming back except his wife ?

    I don't think you understand, he's talking about episode 1 of season 1 of the TV show. He is asking, why is it that Morgan is making a lot of noise by firing out of his window, and yet none of the zombies are bashing his door / windows in.

    sorry muzza but it is clear you don't understand...

    are you refering to the black guy who helps ric after he gets out the hospital? SURELY this comment says i am checking which medium he is on about ?

    yeah so it can also depend on how many walkers are within hearing distance? The ones that are within ear shot he kills once they show up.. Which in my view says he reduces the walker population each time..

    so logically each group he takes out means the next group is going to take longer to show up if at all..

    also we know walker packs 'migrate'

    otherwise the bottom line is the tv show people fucked up..

    46 minutes into the episode when he starts sniping them, they start walking to the house after the first shot. I do not know what you are talking about. The only difference I can see is that they stagger slowler than we sometimes see.

    in the scenes where the view is from the sniper scope they are outside and not rushing the house.. but then my theories stand

    I still don't know what you are talking about, every Zombie that is shown is shown walking towards the house after the first shot. Some even turn around to look when he whistles.

    Maybe different regionalizations of the same episode with shots from different angles?
  • edited June 2012
    We don't even know how well their hearing is. I mean how many movies with the living (war movies etc) do you see where someone gets sniped and everyone looks around screaming, "SNIPER!" and scrambles in every direction because the don't know yet where the sniper is. Probably the same thing...except you have you know...walking corpses that can probably hone in on sounds, but you know...

    MARCO!

    POLO!

    you are correct after the first shot all the zombies in eye view start walking towards the house and it cuts away before any of them get there it makes me think that Morgan and his son are dead cause we haven't herd anything from them in the show but you never know maybe they will be in season 3 ;)

    The only time you will ever see consistent zombie speeds in a film or series is if it is running zombies. In those the actors are told to move as fast as possible.

    When it is shamblers it is pretty much scene-to-scene.

    In this case though, could just be that since they are just investigating a noise and not yet eying their feast, they aren't shamble-sprinting yet.

    You didn't notice the increased amount of walkers as he began shooting? I think he actually did it to attract his wife to attempt to put her down.
  • edited June 2012
    Yes shooting attracts walkers. His attention was to shoot his wife. when he first looked out his window he didn't see her. So he just started shooting to try and draw his wife into view. But when his wife finally showed up he couldn't pull the trigger.

    So why didnt the walkers start tearing down the building then?

    lars it's a tv show.. not everything has to make sense or be logical...

    Say it isn't so! :eek:

    You can always say that the way he was possisioned with his sniper rifle would keep the zombies from seeing him... he was in a dark room from an higher vantage point and at the moment he was shooting it was daylight so no way you could see him in the darkened room. So the zombies only heared gunshots from a general point of origin. But they are attracted by sound so that promped his wife to appear.

    It's probably some thing where they don't go into a frenzy if they can't see you but they are roused by sound to come and try to seek you out and find you...

    Morgan Will come back into the TV series. When Rick is traveling to DC he stops by his old neighborhood. He finds Morgan and his son, which is a zombie and is chained up.

    Anyone who read the comics should know that any noise attracts any walker that hears it. Also walkers are pretty dumb but yet form this herds like you saw at the beginning and end of Season 2. It's caused by smaller groups getting together and they wander without purpose until attracted by a sound.

    "[Zombies in a herd] are a force of nature. They don't operate on logic or reason. If one of them even so much as brushes a hand against your door [where you are hiding]--and another one sees that, mistakes that as an attempt to get in--it's over. That one starts trying to get in--the one who did the accidental tap thinks something's inside all of a sudden--he starts beating on the door with him. They would kill you all."

    Well actually it's not because we don't know how much they are going to follow the comic book in the TV Series. The game however said it's following the timeline of the comic book by the T so it shall be interesting.

    The T.V. show has been very dishonest to the comics.
    Two relevant examples is that Morgan's wife never existed in the comics. She was long dead and it was Carol not her daughter Sophia who died in the comics.

    Sure and Andrea was supposed to be in love with dale and Daryl didn't even exist there. Just hope they dont mess up the Michonne, Tyreese, and Abraham characters.

    Best explaination so far. Any sniper in an urban environment or from a building will be set up away from the windows to make it more difficult to pin the location of the sniper.
