Apparently. Walkers happen no matter what and zombies have to bite you.
I was playing "Metal Dead," - they had the whole 'you come back no matter what.' An enjoyable game, and why that is is explained, but I still felt a little like, 'really?'
no in the George A. Romero movies you turn into a zombie no matter what too. Robert Kirkman took all the Romero rules and called it a virus instead of the living dead. In the Romero universe the rules have changed so people can back as zombies. whereas in the walking dead its a virus.

people say they never say zombies in the walking dead but that's not true. Glenn says"zombies" in issue 2 after saying Rick from a herd.
they say zombies again once or twice but its only in the early issues.
In the walking dead I think there was some character that categorized tham for behaviour, this would have had to be in the comics of the tv series as I've only played the game and only know of it by reference.
Walkers are zombies that walk towards and around the place of origin of loud sounds or where their last kill happened.
Lurkers are zombies that do not constantly walk, they can be laying down or sitting but always waiting and ready to get up if they hear something they don't like.
I think there was a category or two more, but I don't remember them.
When deciding who should go out to save Glenn, Lee says it again, telling Kenny that he'll take Carley with him because "Doug isn't great around zombies."
There're not categories, they're simply names that people had came up with, it would be unrealistic if every single person on the world came up wit the same name, so they have to be different, @ImUrban mentioned most of the other names

no that's not true. while there are different names for walkers in the comic rick puts them into different categories.
Walkers -
'Walker' is a term for a member of the legions of the mobile deceased, who have come to dominate the world following the outbreak of the contagion that spawned them. This is the term used most frequently by Rick Grimes' and Lee Everett's survivors group, and to refer to reanimated corpses who are not dormant.
Roamers -
Roamers are known to "roam" around looking for food. They are the most commonly encountered type of zombies. The term "roamer" is used most frequently in the Comic Series.
Lurkers -
Lurkers are the zombies that just sit around playing "dead" until something approaches them, and they bite. Lurkers can be the real threat because they can appear to be a dead corpse. One of them was responsible for Allen's death. In the TV series, Hershel had his leg bitten by a lurker and Rick had to amputate it to survive. Oftentimes, lurkers have suffered some type of major injury or are otherwise in some kind of a weakened state, preventing them from walking around. The term "lurker" is used most frequently in the Comic Series.
The term "Lurkers" is also used by some in Woodbury and by the cabin survivors from Season 2 of the Video Game.
The Herd -
As described by Eugene in the comic book, a herd is when a group of Walkers acts with a mob mentality. One zombie might brush his hand on a door knob, and another will see this and mistake it as an attempt to get in. Then he will beat on the door to get in, and the first zombie will see this and try to get in. This will spark a chain reaction. An example of this is in the start of the Season 2 finale where a zombie sees a helicopter and follows it to Hershel's Farm.

No. It's just the name that the main survivors in The Walking Dead gave them. Andy St. John for example also didn't get it at first, meaning they gave them different names.
Woodbury calls them biters, the two survivors in the bar in the show calls them lamebrains.
The 'official' names in the German version are 'Beißer' (biters) or 'Streuner' (strays).
Lee also calls them zombies twice in Episode one, and they are called that aswell in some moments in the early issues.
It's just a name. There are no boundaries for imagination.

Walker implies a zombie with two functioning legs.

No, their pretty much the same thing with a different name. The only reason the characters call them Walkers is because no zombie media existed.
Walkers and zombies are the same just different names.
people say they never say zombies in the walking dead but that's not true. Glenn says"zombies" in issue 2 after saying Rick from a herd.
they say zombies again once or twice but its only in the early issues.
True, Lee says it too when you look at the pharmacy door in EP1.
oh really? i don't think i ever got that.
He says something along the lines of "I've got to get past those damn zombies to get the keys."
In the walking dead I think there was some character that categorized tham for behaviour, this would have had to be in the comics of the tv series as I've only played the game and only know of it by reference.

Biters
Roamers
Zombies
Or walkers
They're all pretty much the same
Geeks

Lamebrains as well
Damn, I knew I forgot some. Thanks
Walkers eat flesh.
Zombies eat brains.
"The keys must be on that zombie outside."
And fucks.
Don't forget fucks.
he said that?
Yup.
oh
When deciding who should go out to save Glenn, Lee says it again, telling Kenny that he'll take Carley with him because "Doug isn't great around zombies."
Not really, maybe the zombie culture isn't that big on TWD universe..

i don't know why i never got these.

I don't think a zombie has to obligatorily eat brains, it's just how most movies picture them.
there's not suppose to be any zombie culture which is why they're called walkers but there are a couple slip ups and where they say zombies.
What about biter, lame-brains, geeks etc.?
those aren't categories just alternative names for walkers.
True. Maybe just a stereotype that they say "Braaaaaaaaaaains" whenever they see humans?
They prefer to be called "The Living Impaired."

Oh, it's been a while since I played Season 1.
A walker walks, a zombie talks.
wait. what.
