Wouldn't it be cool if there was a Radio system? Like you have to find a radio and then you can contact everyone all over the map (if they have a radio). And then make them spawn at a medium or rare rate, leave a comment about this idea below!

What is the gain of this, when everyone is either on Ventrillo, Skype or Mumble anyway? What could it be used for in the game?

I don't know the answer, but I have some ideas:

  • Meeting up with other players with radio for the purpose of cooperation.
  • Meeting up with other players with radio for the purpose of ambush.
  • Gathering intel. I'm not sure how intel is going to affect this game, with all the outside help in maps and such, though. Maybe if more random events are installed? Travelling hunting-packs of zombies? Automated weather forecast???

More ideas?

If there is no real advantage from having a radio, then I see no point in spawning them. As to the spawning rate if there ARE advantages with radios, then the spawning rate should be decided by exactly how advantageous the advantage is. :P That is, if it's very advantageous, then it should be spawned less frequently, and if it's less advantageous, it could probably be spawned more often.
