    I was playing with kitty on another zombie server since ours is down at the moment, the server sucks but one thing I did like is zombies start out with night vision, so the nublets who don't know how to use it get a chance to. they also had jetpacks for zombies only on certain maps like high school
    just thought this could come in handy on some maps
    another thought is if zombies could spawn with a smoke nade each time they spawn(not be able to buy them), I know this would cause a little lag but it would give them a chance to make it harder for the ct's on some maps, even if it is on certain maps only like jetpack

    I never liked jetpacks, but I'm neutral on the use. If someone doesn't know how to use night vision they shouldn't be playing, good god. I don't see much improvement in game play for adding a smoke nade myself. But hey, don't take my thoughts on the matter, I never play.

    i'd only agree to jetpacks if it lasts for a few second and if humans can still knock them back while they're in jetpack
    but the smoke nade is a great idea lol
    everyone would shoot and destroy barricades xD

    Smoke nade might be cool now that I think of it, 1 per round even with zombie respawn?

    zm used to spawn with night vision, but in zm version2, it was removed. I dont see a need for it. As for jetpacks, I've never really was a big fan of them. I do like the idea for the smoke nade...gives the zm a little more of a stealth advantage, thought I am not sure how the server will handle it.

    Good ideas, keep them coming.

    yeah as rets said that is the only concern with smoke nades. not only server side but client side, some people have shit pc's and nades drop FPS for them, then they complain, "lag lag lag" and its annoying.

    Smoke Nades Sound Like a good idea.

    grenades sound like something a zombie might kno how to use ,all you do is pull the trigger.
    ,but i suggest both nades(flash last really quick and less foggy smoke(having it regular can allow zombies destroy a cade w/o human noticing))
    jet packs are to high-tech for a zombie though (unless there is a no stacking script of course)

    And I can see 16 zombies trying to kill themselves just to throw smoke nades on a single cade all at once. Feasible yet horrible concept!

    jetpack would not be a good idea because high up hiding spots would be worthless now.

    I fixed the low grav. So it's pretty much safe to use now. The gravity doesn't follow onto the next map.
