Since the majority of humans today live in cities, urban combat will be dangerous, time-consuming, and frustrating. In Beijing, New York City, Los Angeles, and Tokyo alone, you may have upwards of 5 million zombies.Urban combat is more difficult than rural or country combat because in an urban setting, there are buildings almost everywhere, and the ones that have toppled will leave large piles of debris and dust. Many cars will be left in the streets. Also, there may be hundreds of hostile survivors. Large cities also have the highest potential for being hit by nukes or being attacked by the army. The streets will be battle zone, as hellish as World War 2, or Rambo on drugs. -richboy33lb
Contrary to the above: Cities will not remain a serious feeding ground unless all means of departure are finished, E.G. Manhattan Island. If the island is closed off from the remainder of the area, then the majority of our Zed's will stay on the island. If they are mainland locations, E.G. Los Angeles, and Tokyo, the major amounts of undead will depart from the urban environment when their main source of flesh is majorly depleted. In other words: Those undead will follow the sounds of the departing crowds. -Biohazardouswithin
It'd be usefull just to hide in a building with enough food, and water for the duration - Lamnov
Best bet would be to just leave cities to their own demise after evacuations have been commenced. Then setup patrols surrounding the city about 15 miles away so even though the city would be lost for the time being those 5million plus zombies won't start moving out for a while at least in mass so any zombies who just happen to get out of the city will be taken out quickly and without the chaos of actually having to fight in an urban setting. sure it's a downer to lose a major city during a war of any kind but even highly trained army personnel would have difficulty clearing out an entire city the size of New York or Tokyo the end result would most likely just end up making more zombies
