Suggestion Zombie Spawn Rates Rural vs Urban

Recommended Posts

If you like my idea below please bump this post.

As most of us know the amount of zombie spawns has increased everywhere. I do like the amount of zombies in the urban cities. It makes sense to have more zombies in large cities. But in rural areas like farms and such I think the zombie spawn rates should be dropped back down to what it was. It follows the idea of in the rural areas there are less people, so there should be less zombies.

Having large amount of zombies in higher populated areas(major cities, air fields) and have less zombies in less populated areas(farms, small towns). This would allow for players that have recently spawned either from death or just first time on a server to obtain better weapons then a pistol from small towns or a farm. Now that the user have a shotgun or a rifle they can attempt to enter a major city for more advanced items.

This allows you to have better and/or higher spawn rates of weapons / items in major cities due to the greater difficulty.

If anyone has any ideas to add to this or can see any flaws please post so that we can help approve upon this great mod.

The only thing that annoys me is I was crouched minding my own business and 2 zombies spawned within 5 feet of me. ya you see how this ends. Run away!!!! luckily the server crashed or reset while I was swimming away from the zeds. LOL \

The zombie spawns are based on buildings - a certain amount spawns around each type of building. As it stands, because rural and city building counterparts are the same, the only way to reduce Zeds is overall..

This is, of course, as of right now. I'm sure the Devs could lower the spawns one way or another. I like the idea, and it has my vote.
