Im not in game development, and im sure you guys have most likely considered this, but i would like to re-stress the point that you really need to make the game more "competition friendly" to keep it long lived.

right now, its alot of fun, but its still just a novelty really. after it wears off and you level alot etc... its just... still a novelty... you know?

some ideas from my head (again I dont know programming or anything, just suggestions you MIGHT not have heard) is something like this:

- 2 instances of the game world (with a redefined 'quest' system, maybe including a box with scrolling instructions on the HUD or something) where 2 teams compete with each other to do the quests the fastest, and if they get zombified they go to the OTHER teams instance to interrupt their questing. (I know i would enjoy that, ALOT. hehe)

-Maybe a little map ending thing where you all go to a room with a soda machine and couchs (all human of course) and you all get awards for most zombies killed, most team mates killed, least weapons used etc. (again, another novelty, but people will be trying harder to get good awards, giving some extra competition factors in there.)

-the ability to do different things depending on how many zombies you've killed compared to OTHER people. So if your in the lead for zombie kills, you have the ability to issue commands to people (over a radio or something) or something like being able to herd zombies or something. dunno, the main idea is there at least (least zombie kills = you can heal your teammates or something... )

thats all i got for now, but im just stressing to give something to make the game long lasting, so people can form play-groups (like clans and such)

still, funnest game ever tho see ya guys

I've got a suggestion for you,post this in the suggestion forum!!!!

>< sorry, *forum newbie* i used search first still

well,good you searched first,but still get it right,grey or some mod,move it to the Suggestions forum please? thanks

*raises hand* i second that.

Then people would start going zomibe purposly to mess up the other team...

umm yeah... but, ure team would have less people to accomplish the mission (obviously some balancing would be in order.) and if your whole team accidentally became zombie then you would lose, or if a certain amount went zombie you lost etc.

poor poor blinded child, wut ur AIM screename, ill explain it to you.

<Moved> To suggestions.

Its not that im BLINDED, you just dont understand what im saying. as in competition, first to complete it. and if ure whole team is zombies... then your going to lose..

Servers have a hard enough time handling a single instance of a map, also, it has been stressed that BB is a coop mod more than a PvP...

Whenever meta-mod and the like support BB, someone can write a plugin to do this and only display text. I see the whole room part of it as wasted timne and space.

Exactly why would killing the most zombies give one the ability to heard them, or give them the right to give orders?

Also 100 and 10 is not as good as 70 and 0. So it would be best to base this on ratio and not pure kills if ever implemented.

Players acting as medics have already been suggested and turned down

You go immortal sniper!

(I'm gonna laugh when you die lol)

Look again, I have no "t" in my name. I'm just so good people assume I don't die and add that "t" in there when it is just the fact that I lack morality

We still are ognna call you immortal no matter what. So whos losing now.

Edit: Probably us.

Actually, to be honest, I think alot of his suggestions are valid. However ..

in 1.2:

It definetly promotes coop alot. Look at sven coop - people play it (I know its a bad comparisn, as sven is just pure jokes and is the funniest mod in the whole world besides ZP!) and it doesn't necessarily have to be PvP

Its harder .. you can't rambo and get cases by yourself anymore. You just can't, the way the new maps are designed.
