I had a thought.

To throw another idea out there, what if a SECOND zombie randomly spawned, say 30-60 seconds after the first zombie spawned.

Not every round though.

Say the ratio would be like 4:1 (every 4 rounds, a second zombie spawns).

But it would be completely random, not in a set pattern. So you could go 6 rounds with no second zombie spawn, and then the last 2 rounds the second zombie spawns.

It would be like SURPRISE!!


I guess this would mean people would be slightly more hesitant to crowd into one room together.

this idea is cool since sometimes the first zombie is afk or doing horrible a 2nd one comes to help

Exactly.

Well, AFK players should be moved to spec automatically (after a certain period of inactivity), and then specs should be kicked again automatically (after a certain period of inactivity).

But yeah, the first fail zombie would be a good reason for it...

Didn't we go over the whole zspawn thing awhile back?

It's fine the way it is. Plus, if there was zspawn, no zombie hunting.

Unless there was a countdown between how frequently you can use the command.. 1-2 minutes.

[walterbrunswick]

James is right, with !zspawn there would be no zombie hunting.

Plus we would need more ammunition!

I remember playing a zombie mod in CS 1.6 a while back. You can't cade worth shit so you resort to hold out spots. But what happens was that the server goes random when spawning zombies in the beginning.

There was this alarm and then the system decides what would be the most appropriate chaotic zombie spawn for the round. It could just spawn one person as a random zombie or it spams chaos and half the server gets turned initially or even 75% of the players get turned initially. It was very very chaotic.

Note, this isn't a suggestion, but I just wanted to share that information...lol

Buy dualies and spam them the entire round. You don't run out of ammo.

[weeman2412]

if ur gonna do zspawn.. might as well give all the humans.. WCS-like powers.. entangle massive groups of zombies !??!??

WCS+ZM=fun

Dualies = love.

I like the idea of zpawn, but I don't at the same time...

I thought it would be cool if the first zombie was a human for a few seconds, but had a green hue that other people could see, and then then said infected human gets a console message *you are infected*. Then he could break the cade or even (maybe not, but cool idea) kill his teammates with his gun. Now to combat this you could kill the Infected human before he turns, because upon turning he gets his extra heath, zombie model and is swapped to the Terrorist team. Wouldn't that be cool/interesting ?
All humans after that would be "instaturned" by the Zombie Claws of Death.
