New Zombie Population idea.

I wanted to suggest A Zombie Population Mode for certain servers or all of them. I love this game, but one thing I dont love is if a real survior scenerio was to accur people would 9 times out of ten take shelter in a house, shed, ditch, water pipe, or in other words some place man made. So the fact that zombies spawn in buildings is bad in my opinion. They should spawn away from the player(Atleast 50 yards away at all times) So no zombie can spawn next to you. Second every city or town should be given a population count. So example. There is a small town or village with a population count of 350. Me and a few buddys wish to take shelter in that town and turn it into refugee camp. So we go on a zombie killing spree. Zombies should spawn in tell the population count reaches 0. then it becomes safe. now you can safly camp, or use, defend the town to your needs, citys and bigger towns should have bigger population counts (5,000-50,000) or however decided. All im saying is I hate going near towns because no matter how many zombies i kill in a certain area more will spawn even in a really small town.

I would also suggest the ability to drink from ponds without using a water bottle. Cars should be more common but have a variety of different issues, example 20 cars ina city, 5 have flats and broken windshields with empty tanks, 15 have no keys and need to be hotwired, out of that 15, 10 have dead batterys, 5 have mechanical issues and need repairs. The occasional rare car should have half tank of gas and no issues other than minor problems like a flat.

One last thing, the player should be able to defend them selfes at game start, random melee weapons should be available,example you start with one of the following, axe, switchblade, military knife, hunting knife, house knife, baseball bat, 2 by 4, etc.

And then every now and then there comes somekind of horde over there, and you have to defend then ? :)

Now that would be awsome...

And if you leave the city no zombies will ever spawn there again, ever?

Wait for some time, like 4 hours - if no player sets foot into the village - start spawning again.

You should have a look at these two threads:

Also, I like the horde idea!

Yeah, there should be a population regeneration when A player is not present in the town or city, if a player is present then the population regeneration is very slow giving the player atleast 1-2 hours of relax, regroup , hunt time
