u should add some traps like u can tie ropes round zombies or like first traps and u should make allmost anything a weapon like lets say a metal bar or a box u can throw and if u run out of ammo and cant get more u should make ur gun throwable or use it to hit the zombies also when u get infected if u do and let ur friend kill u make it a sad moment like ur losing a friend or something and u kneel and he shoots u in the back of the head or something and make zombie turning a procces like u slowly change

I think that iz a really good idea. Also going off the traps thing there should be traps for the players aswell for exe. When you are walking across a bridge the fourth time you do it or somthing you will fall in. then there would be some stratage on how you get aroudn the maps. lol

Traps like the ones in Ravenholm would be pretty nice too.

but traps make it look like the real thing they used traps in the movies

would it cause any lag to the servers if you add the car traps? if thats too much to ask for, how about a trap where you can lure zombies into a room where you can look in it from above on a catwalk, get the door to lock behind them, then sneak out another way leaving them cornered in the room while the people above can do what they want, ie: shoot them, burn them, or my favorite: throw someone in and see how long they can last in there or even choose what weapon they can use.

u dont neep car traps. like how about some bear traps in a weapon shop or something or like a gun trap.

I still don't see a point in traps, except maybe in one official map. Your guns do enough damamge as it is.

The only trap I could see being useful is the gas leak plus a simple spark; ending result would be a large bbq.

Here's a good one:

There would be an electric wire about waist level. The zombies would walk into it. When the player switches on the electricity, then the wire would fry passing zombies.

Or maybe maps like Ravenholm where a player can make use of intrinsic traps in the map itself

I think it would be interesting and fun in some aspects but it would have to be introduced into the game very carefully, as to make sure it wouldn't make the mod clunky and awkward.
The easiest thing would just be explosive barrels. The more intricate traps will require much more code to be written.

Ah yes, the classic explosive barrel. Thing is, it's kind of weird to have randomly placed explosive barrels in buildings and cities don't ya think?

Lol yeah that would be kind of wiered but if it was like a gas station then it would be fine. Because it could just contain gas around. And people keep gas Especially if there was a zombie out brake lots of people would have cash's of gas around.

Electric grids!

The motors which spin the blades in Ravenholm!

Um .. Dropping cars!

Man, that level was a BLAST.

how about the thing with the gas leak or electrisity u can put a tank of gas into a room then luer the zombies in there and shoot it from a window or from outside the room and watch the zombies blow up
