Root zombie buff

No.
Root zombie is fine as it is.
Edit - Let me explain more.
On maps like HaloOutpost, this would be a great idea.
But on the smaller maps, I could just see players raging.
After I've though about it more, I've come to the decision that it would do more good than harm.
+1

 

Yes, but it would be overpowered on most of the other maps.

 

Agreed. It can sometimes be extremely difficult to get that first infect kill. This would really help the ball get rolling at the beginning of infected matches. The only problem I see is the complaints of the first person being killed, but it was an M9 vs. what ever primary weapon you were using :v

 

I don't need a handgun to infect survivors since I wait for the noobs to rush at me before I ambush them. But the noob zombies do probably need this, so I'll support your idea.

 

THAT WOULD BE FUN! ( immature side kicking in...)

 

Root Zombie ideas have been suggested.
I don't ever remember there being a bullet you can shoot, but there was definitely a Tactical Insertion and a Throwing Knife for the first kill.
Maybe a tomahawk or a speed buff for just the first kill instead of shooting a weapon.
But other than that, yes.

 

I like this. Its not super op, and it might make things a little more fun

 

I kinda think that a zombie with a gun is weird. Maybe there could be more then one root? Like 3 to start?

 

Even though you have 5-6 people running towards you?

 

Personally the root zombie having a handgun at the start would be pointless, does he have it until he gets a kill or for until he dies? I think every zombie should have a handgun for their first life. After they have died then they are normal zombies. And they should have maybe 16 ammo for an M9. Otherwise they get a kill then there are two zombies getting spawn camped.

 

It's kinda useless. If you think about it, they kill one person and then those two people get spawn camped.

 

Uuuuuhhh...

 

Fixed... It's useless for a zombie to have a gun until lit gets ONE kill.

 

I don't even need to read the post to know its a +1 for you (I did read it though)

 

On smaller maps it's easier to get the first kill. On larger maps, however, like Outpost, it can be difficult, especially for a new player.

 

Despite the fact that there are always people running at you no matter what? :I

 

This is a good idea. Sometimes I am the root zombie and I find it really hard to get the first kill, so I understand what you're talking about. +1 from me.
