Radio Transmission Towers

Recommended Posts

There's a lot of potential for this idea but basically give any player the ability to use a radio tower to broadcast. Some towers may be in working condition, others may require certain parts to repair them, but not too much as you don't want people to find them pointless. Radios themselves could have the ability to hear multiple frequencies or just the tower with the best reception (closest to them). This could be very advanced in that they could stream a free online radio service to anyone listening and depending on whose tower you were closest to would be the one that you heard in your car radio/battery powered radio/handheld fm/am receiver. They could play music (although I don't think that should be the primary idea). They could also broadcast a repeatable message that they record in game, similar to how direct broadcast works. It could be something to either get people to join up with one another or to work as a trap or any other number of other fun things.

These radio towers could be hijacked of course. This could be used also as a way to lure zombies. Stream an mp3 or a list of mp3's into the broadcast and then setup a radio on top of a house or something to get zombies attention and make them focus on the sounds so that you could then sneak by and enter a building or w/e you wanted to do. This method could be used by anyone that can hear the broadcast (but careful because it could end at any time!). I'm sure there's a lot more that could be added to this (toss radios in motor boats and go chill far out in the water with a cold beer).
