    First sentence:

  • Renextreme

    Is Jack from last stand will be there in the new game

  • Vinchenso

    The message:
    SURVIVING OPERATIVES UNION CITY HAS BEEN DECLARED A DEAD ZONE. HERC THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

  • Hampthecoolest

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
    I CANT WAIT ANYMORE BECAUSE THIS IS SO AWSOME!!!!
    CON IS AWSOME AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    *head implodes*

  • Zslayer74

    someone translate the #-EDADEONZ code thing on the upper right hand corner of the flyer.

  • Dannydaninja

    Now why would they put a secret code on a public flyer for all the population to see?

  • karl hardesty

    HOLY SHIT IT IS ANOTHER THE LAST STAND GAME GOOD JOB CON ARTIST GAMES.

  • Ecthel013

    Probably because they figured any survivors wouldn’t have any time to figure out the code or that it wouldn’t matter anyway, since none of them are likely to get out.

  • Real CS

    Yeah, sux to be a herc

  • Real CS

    And hope that it’s endless

  • Hostpot

    Well, this fits with the Last Stand 2; bad ending (if you dont get before 40 days)

    So, since HERC left people to die and it seems to be no cure, the best they could do was bombing to control the infection

    If it is another last stand game, i hope you can visit other cities (since Union City is being bombed)

  • Theanonme

    And look at that! Another code to decipher— what’s the deal Con? WHY ARE YOU TEASING US WITH A GAME THAT MIGHT NOT BE OUT FOR MONTHS! I hope it’s TLS:UC esque.

  • Hellspawn

    Dont you just hate it when you r abandoned by yr own people?? The feeling when it hits u just sucks….. I feel kinda srry for those HERC dudes. BTW when r the teasers going to stop? And when r we going to have SOLID INFO????!!!

  • Wavyknight

    Dead Zone . . . really?

  • RedBananaBoat

    Well seeing from the “DAYS” I can tell this is going to be one long bad-ass “Rebuild-styled-TLS”

  • Steven

    when do we get to beta test?

  • Gordonli1223

    GOD DAMN HERC!!!

  • http://s4.zetaboards.com/Con_Artist_Games/index/ Marcus Vince

    HERC ain’t no help.

  • Patriotsaregay

    DIBS ON AK-47 AND FIRE AXE SHARPENED 

  • Zslayer74

    I’m no good with code stuff, I can’t even see though simple codes…

  • arrrowinthenippols

    Please be another action rpg

  • Joe DF

    NUKE BOMB!

  • Bugboy96

    what does the code on the bottom of the flyer say? it looks like another encryption.

  • Hellspawn

    assistance will arrive. do not panic…… yeah right. when the city is crawling with zombies and herc does not arrive what the hell r u going to do then?? the instuctions should be: get out there with a Herc supplied AK-47 and katana and kill anything thats dead and eats human flesh, and do yr best to hold them off.

  • Bugboy96

    SO at the top it says to remain calm and wait for HERC to come save the day but the encryption says that Union City is a “DEAD ZONE”. Basically saying they’re abandoning it. So in the end HERC are a bunch of liars.Â
    ps: almost time for christmas Con.

  • Will

    Nice work, but I have one question. Is this game going to be like The Last Union City where its a 2D scolling enviroment or a 3D game?

  • Hal

    Well, to supplie old granny with katana an AK47 is a waste of resources, because she hurts herself with the katana and the fireburst of AK47 is breaking every bone of her body.
    Understood?

  • The Letter L

    ahh, game looks good but it is starting to sound like fallout :P

  • killer

    SURVIVING OPERATIVES UNION CITY HAS BEEN DECLARED A DEAD ZONE. HERC THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.Â
    Read the comments before yours. :)

  • http://twitter.com/XxTheTrueFearxX XxTheTrueFearxX

    In my opinion (which is in no way right) the pictures that have been released, specifically the one titled “OP16201813208″, make it seem like this game will be Isometric like Fallout and Fallout 2. Also with the bombs being dropped (most likely by HERC) I think that this will be close to Fallout.

    Again, just speculation but, in the update titled “Day 350″ there are also some sketches that make me think it will be a strategy type game, as opposed to a shooter.

    As to what the storyline will be about I’m not sure, most likely it will revolve around either the bombs that have been detonated, or just scavenging to survive.

    What do all of you think? I’m curious to know.

  • Spitfire

    Same reason why companies like Activision or Electronic Arts releases trailers for a game 6 or more months in advance, to create anticipation for it.

  • Ben

    In UC, I pretend my guy is a HERC soldier who goes AWOL at the outbreak of the infection.  It helps explain why I have a HERC outfit in my inventory, and why my guy is such a zombie killer from the jump.  I don’t grab it or the advanced weaponry until after I get home, tho.

  • Xephos

    entonces el helicoptero del segundo juego era de herc????
    entonces q iba hacer herc con jack????

  • Patriotsaregay

    Wouldn’t it be legit if con gives us this game as a Christmas present. Like the release it on Christmas or release the beta version. SIK

  • Hellspawn

    I am going to be reeeeaaalllyyyyyyyy HAPPY if this comes out for Xmas!!!!!!! :D DDDD!!!

  • The Letter L

    Wow.Well i think it would actually be about survival.Just like all the other TLS like it’s talking about infections and bombs.though yes, this game is going to be very alike to fallout in my opinion.

  • Raymond Pontemayor

    this looks like a new game their developing and the “dead zone” is now abandoned. They plan to nuke it…. which is why HERC is trying to secretly put that message in military personal code. They ARE making a new game… but not telling us when it is released. And like I said… they plan to nuke Union City… COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!! EVERY MILITARY GENERAL OR SECRET GOVERNMENT ZOMBIE CONTROL PLAN ON NUKING A NON-CONTAINED AREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Guest

    ok so now union city is a dead zone? that explains why theres no soldiers at all exept at the stadium.

  • XMCBXREDNECKX

    @confused people, at the end of TLS:UC, jack (from TLS 1 and TLS 2) and his group of survivors didnt get on the boat, and if you look at the scenery throughout your mad dash from the zombie horde at the end of TLS:UC, you will see no other boats…Jack and his group got stuck at the city, and fled to the other towns to try to survive, day 350 and day 412 are just log’s from his time, since he has no way of escaping he’s now stuck on the mainland, trying to survive. this is in no doubt how the game is going to be, these updates are teasers for TLS 4, which takes place most likely directly after TLS:UC, or a certain amount of time after the event. when he refer’s to home agian, he’s probelly referring to his return to the city AFTER the bombs dropped, which also probelly happened AFTER TLS:UC. thank you,come agian! :3

  • XMCBXREDNECKX

    (p.s) the note’s are also in jack’s handwriting, could just be a stupid observation that it WILL be jack you play, but im just notifying you all about it. THANK YOU, COME AGIAN!

  • bloodbrother

    when is tls:4 coming ouy

  • FIXED

    Today I played TLS:UC Alpha v.0.96A,just to remember the good old times,when we awaiting Con to release a new version of the game…

  • Hellspawn

    Wow…. that makes a whole lot of sense now. Thanks for the ‘possible’ storyline of TLS:4 :D  

  • guest

    Con, I wonder, the next Last Stand you make that’s like TLS:UC, can you make companions with an ability to let you CHANGE clothes? i really want that on the next one.

  • Shadowstar

    when we will get a last stand that has more than 2 companions?

  • Dzmmr

    knew it….. rebuild meets last stand

  • LForce

    I love how it says “Assistance will arrive” when under it, decoded, it says the city is a “dead zone”

  • Tmb2rox4

    translate this code somebody

  • http://tlaststand.wikia.com/wiki/The_Last_Stand_Wiki BarrettM82

    They’ve already been translated. The one at the top is “DEADZONE” and at the bottom is “SURVIVING OPERATIVES UNION CITY HAS BEEN DECLARED A DEAD ZONE. HERC THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.” Just look near the bottom of the page and you’ll see them.

  • Patriotsaregay

    dont ask realease dates?

  • Roobafuss

    these guys are awesome at making games they really know what there doing

  • Roniledesma

    i have a question it will be like the last stand 2 but much better grahphics and new places and guns

  • Bugboy96

    Con is just one guy, SO IT’S EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE

  • Bugboy96

    DAMN! I knew you wouldn’t release the game on Christmas but i was at least hoping to know what it is.

  • Bloodnest

    Only one guy is making it,and that’s why it’s named ConArtistGames not ConArtist(S)

  • Guest

    no iam pretty sure those people were relocated from the staduim

  • Brandon

    …………………………Do Somthing Chris!!!!!!!!!

    Remain calm.

  • karl hardesty

    CON please i am not trying to be a class favorite but you are the coolest and the best flash game creator to this day you sir are awsome.

    @76cb6f88d326678aa8f1f3e1ea8956b4:disqus look at the credits for TLS UC the only help he gets is some artwork or something like that, either way it would be funny if on his next game he did like that video Bambi vs. Godzilla and had like 1,000 things saying
    artwork- Chris Condon
    programming-Chris Condon
    references-Chris Condon
    story- Chris Condon
    etc.

  • YourAlive!

    your alive!

  • XMCBXREDNECKX

    i dont think Con’s the type of person to go for a “retake the city” type game, “survival” is what he’s best at. Now what WOULD be impressive is to morph the two types of play-types together, TLS:1 and TLS:2′s “defend the barracade at night” sort of thing, but in the day, it goes into the TLS:UC type playthrough, where you scavenge in towns for supplies with a certain time limit, or even better, if your going story-fanatic on us with TLS:4, make it so you do a little bit of the story at daytime, but judging from my previous predictions, that’s not going to happen (food for thought, no?). so whether you truly are going “retake the city” or going back to your old threads with “survive the night”, or whatever you doing Con, know that your fan’s got you backed up 100% and we cant wait for your next game. cheers for your favorite polish/russian/australian h00ker!

  • Bullseye_Sing

    Complaints and suggestions on companion dead in Last Stand Union City”It should be noted that if the player fails to save their companion before leaving a room, or die before doing so, they will risk losing their companion for the rest of the game.”
    Overall I think this is a great game. However, there are some complaints about the game.Â
    I unfortunately replaced hawk with kelly, and unluckily died when hawk incapacitated. So hawk will be dead permanently, i guess that ok because i think i still got kelly. Surprisingly i found that i couldn’t got kelly back and will not have a companion for the rest of the game. Does it really sounds good? I guess many players will be annoyed by this setting. I hopefully think you could update the game so that kelly would be back or add a new companion for us because fighting alone is very difficult to play the game, especially when i am playing on SURVIVOR difficulty. I cordially hope u would consider updating the game so i WILL continue playing and lessen the complaints about the “companion died” but nothing can do with it.

  • Roniledesma

    What happen at the final of the last stand union city the wife that was infected kill her husband or backwards

  • Joe DF

    Come on man! tell us whats all these random posts without any info.
    :S ..??

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/thecanadianpatriot17 Jason Walker

    Condon says he’s not making a sequel to T.L.S. U.C,
    as he once stated on his (this)blog – “I’m not making TLS UC 2″

    If or when he makes another Last Stand game, it would be the third installment to the Last Stand franchise.

    He didn’t even say this was about a new game.
    Hopefully it is though.

    SURVIVING OPERATIVES UNION CITY HAS BEEN DECLARED A DEAD ZONE. HERC THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

    does this brighten your day?
    took me ages to figure it out but the small code on the top right ( EDADEONZ — DEADZONE) helped me figure out the intentions of whoever wrote it.
    Like the post please.

  • Hunggacon

    To my opinion and well, from the games I’ve played, I guess you’re gonna be scavenging for s*** and supplies, and maybe for some… “dopes and beers” with luck :D . At night, you’ll arrange survivors with guard shifts (the guard tower photo of day 350) and probably a TLS2 styled mission will appear when a horde approaches. BTW, with the “huh” besides the note, we can think Jack doesn’t know how to decode all of this.
    When Mr Condon said UC wasn’t TLS 3, this put things quite… scrambled. Where is TLSUC’s spot in the TLS timeline ?

  • Somebody

    Wait a minute there..
    TLS:UC was supposed to be sometime when the infection started, but it has Jack in Union City.
    Jack in Union City means that the infection has been going around for longer than 60 days (20 days TLC1 + 40 days TLC2)

  • http://tlaststand.wikia.com/wiki/The_Last_Stand_Wiki BarrettM82

    Con must’ve decided to make Union City a sequel to The Last Stand 2 rather than a prequel to The Last Stand.

  • Brandon

    No Shit Sherlock…….

  • Lucas Dibble

    wasn’t herc the police in union city

  • http://tlaststand.wikia.com/wiki/The_Last_Stand_Wiki BarrettM82

    Yes, but I think that quarantine unit would be a more accurate term than police when you consider what they were sent to Union City for.

  • P Jmiller

    PLEASE.

  • Ecthel013

    Apparently, it takes place shortly after the infection hits, as the player character doesn’t know about it until they run a zombie over, and they were only away from Union City for about a week or so, IIRC.

    On the other hand, Jack’s presence means it’s been around 2 months at least (from the beginning of TLS2, he mentions it’s been a month since the helicopter crash, add in the 20 days in TLS1…) so… yeah.

    Does Jack have a time travel machine, or is time dilation working overtime here? Or did Con simply forget about the TLS1 and TLS2 timelines?

  • Ecthel013

    HERC is more like Blackwatch from Prototype than a police force, a government organization that deals with biological disasters and use rather shady methods.

    Most of the actual cops from the UCPD are dead.

  • XMCBXREDNECKX

    he didnt say that TLS:UC was a sequel to TLS:1 or 2 either, but yet he put jack in there.

    he’s going to do the same thing with this, its not a “sequel” to TLS:UC, it wont even mention your survivor (unless just to drop a few hint-bombs about his escape and the glory of it all.) unless in a dire need to, which i suspect will come if he’s going for a story-driven game this time’ round. TLS:4 (if this is truly hints of TLS:4) will be about jack, or have you being a new survivor, which also meets and works with jack, jacks just too bad@$$ to leave behind. You tryin’ to diss thou jack? shame on you jason, shame on you…

  • XMCBXREDNECKX

    your character in TLS:UC obviously got W.A.S.T.E.D, and simply forgot that its been 2-3 months instead of 1-2 weeks, simple mistake, happens all the time in my family.

    neither, they both had a bunch of rough-hard sex [doggy-style] then your character pushes your spouse-and this would be a good time to say that if you are a girl during the game, you have a husband, if your a guy, you got a wife, ANYWAYS, your character pushes your spouse off the boat, feels bad bout’ it, then chokes himself with his p3niz that he cuts off with that one.fucking.switchblade.that.you.can.never.get.out.of.your.
    fucking.inventory.for.some.god.forsaken.reason. this is the only way it could’ve ended, the only way that makes sense, my names Red polonsky, and you’ just got your mind blown.

  • XMCBXREDNECKX

    That’s basicly what i said bout 10-30 posts down, with a little more jizz/bullshit details mixed into the middle. im proud of you.

  • XMCBXREDNECKX

    O.K, I cannot control the anxiety im having right now over this game, i even denied my GF a basicly-free quickie to check the comments, post about 4-6 replies, and then type this entire paragraph tonight.

    I have a new theory, one that is equally-strong to my first one.

    You are Jack.
    You try to escape the city.
    You didnt escape the city.
    You got stuck in a random building/apartment.
    Your crew is dead, and your out of ammo and lost all your guns.
    You have to Find survivors, weapons, and survive for a period of time.
    You will be playing a TLS:1-2 type survival mode, at night.
    You will be playing  TLS:UC/TLS:2 travel elements, at day, afternoon, and Evening.
    You will travel to different locations, like in the travel element of TLS:2, but it will have a series of side-missions that give you a certain control over the city, a lot like AC:Revelations-templar/assassin control over cities-type-shit.
    You will be able to fully-customize your survivors, including clothing, personal stats, and weapons.
    You will have zombies trying to take over your shit, like in Rebuild/AC:R.
    The game will Last a Infinite amount of time, with resources (ammo, food, water.) being limited, so you have to ration and use wisely.
    YOU WILL BE A BADASS.
    You will basicly create your own empire. (to show a explanation, Griffin from GOW3, without the selling shit-unless you wanna do that. :3)
    YOUR EMPIRE WILL BE BADASS.
    The day’s get extremely harder, that way hackers cant win even past a certai number of days, unless those hackers got some serious skill mixed in to their hacker-ways. (a day where everybody should be dead by now, 750-1000, if you aint’ dead by then, your better then con himself at the game.)
    show me sum’ proof stating any of this wont happen-0% chance, with proof, and ill give you a cookie, and remove my title of BADASS RED, from my FB account. good luck. L:<

  • XMCBXREDNECKX

    no, i just realized while reading your comment the day after posting the first one that the infection didnt come to Union city yet. it started near glendale, or even more west then that, whichever country this is. (probelly the U.S or australia.) and it reached union city in a week. “but how do you know that?” you ask. when in the hospital, looking for your wife in TLS:UC, you will talk to some of the doctors in the safe room, or when you get to the first safehouse in the game, the neighbors and the doctors both state that this has been going on for a week or so, no news of the infection was leaked because HERC didnt want to let the outbreak become public. but HERC couldnt stop the infection, and it eventually reached union city. THANK YOU, COME AGIAN!

  • Blah

    Ya. To make whatever you said more simple is that the story line is going on but its a WHOLE different series. 

  • Harra

    Something I can’t still get is that in TLS2 you run to Union City because in day 40 it was going to be destroyed and as you can see in it indeed was destoyed by H.E.R.C. So the question here is… when did Jack arrived? When did you in TLS:UC arrived and how long did you took to “escape” (cause you are pwned by your wife at the end)? Timeline in TLS it’s very confusing.

  • Harra

    Something I can’t still get is that in TLS2 you run to Union City
    because in day 40 it was going to be destroyed and as you can see in 022112-Enhanced.jpg it
    indeed was destoyed by H.E.R.C. So the question here is… when did Jack
    arrived? When did you in TLS:UC arrived and how long did you took to
    “escape”? And by what we can see in the hints… how and when did Jack escaped? Cause I seriously doubt that Jack had enough time to escape before bombs were depleted in Union City. Timeline in TLS
    it’s very confusing…

  • http://profiles.google.com/jhoffberger James Hoffberger

    so just uh, just wanted to say this since everybody seems to be saying something else, you realize there was no TLS3 right, TLS: UC was its own it was a prequel (kinda) in the series of games therefore making this new game if it truly is the next in the series TLS3 not TLS4

  • Bugboy96

    TLS:UC was NOT a Prequel. If it was; Jack would have gone to Union City turned around, gone to Glendale, and then turned back around and gone to Union City. It was most likely meant to be a Prequel but was changed later.

  • Bugboy96

    that was 10 things lol

  • Kael

    I can’t wait for this game! Their have been barely any good games on Armorgames since Union City came out. and I need one
