    Infect is stating to be pretty easy with all the new donor guns (Raygun, Crossbow). I find it near to impossible on some maps to get to the survivors.

    I was thinking on two root zombies for infect. This would take care of the problem if the root zombie was AFK and prevent spawn trapping.
    This would infect even in my opinion and I hope it could get added.

    This could be annoying with a few people playing on the server at a time, but i would like this on a server with more people. This would be useful on some maps. Maybe have a chance of 2 roots? Not all the time.

    This has been suggested before.
    This could work.
    For AFK root zombies most times someone mans up and suicides to keep the game going.
    Grenades help when you are a zombie: "/War buy grenade", "/buy", or "/Vote" to acquire grenades.

    I sometimes like to be infected, when it's a map that I know I could get more kills as a zombie than as a human. Maps like killhouse2, when everyone runs up the tower, all you need is that 'miracle grenade' to get around 20+ kills. There are other maps like this too. Plus, humans usually get infected pretty quickly. The only thing I can see this solving is the AFK root zombie problem, but as someone mentioned, then most people just infect themselves. I remain neutral on the idea.

    The chance of 1 afk zombie is I'm going to say 1/16. Now the chances of two afk zombies are 1/256. Those odds seem fair to me.

    No thanks. INfection spreads quickly already. No need for two.

    I agree with this idea, Ray Guns and whatnot will definitely trap the Root Zombie in it's spawn.

    I see how that's legitimate but what if it's a map where no one wants to be a zombie like Appoolasa?

    There is always one person that suicides.
    Always...

    If not, then I could see this happening.

    That's not the point how many suicide. When you suicide you are a regular zombie not a root zombie.
    The root zombie has more health than the other zombies. With two root zombies, the regular zombies won't get spawn trapped and the zombies can advance faster.

    This is just for a funny reference to AFK:

    Anyway, I love the idea! This would be a great idea!

    Machinima make some great stuff.
    Nothing can really be done to AFKers except kicking them, however letting their KDR drop is a better solution.

    Maybe there will only be two roots if there is 30+ players. It would be awkward if there was only 2 players and both of them were root. I like the idea.

    Good idea. Sometimes if there is a lot of players with donor guns and only one root zombie they just camp the spawn where the zombies spawn. I think there should be two root zombies.

    Anyways I like the Idea! (mainly because I love to be root and with this my chances will be higher)

    I don't know, the 2 root zombies would speed up the game a bit that's a good idea
