    Just a short list of things that should be changed/added back into the game. Feel free to leave feedback/expand on these.

    Zombies

    As of right now, zombies have far too much health in my opinion. To put it into perspective, it takes 4 AK-47 (Tier 4) headshots to kill one zombie. A point blank spas shot will not kill a zombie unless all the bullets make contact with it. A point blank M10 shot won't kill a zombie even if all bullets make contact. It takes two headshots from a deagle to kill one. In other words, they make fights extremely annoying and right now they're just a nuisance. I'm not saying they should be removed, but either their health should be decreased to where a deagle one shots them with a headshot (like in the past), or different items need to be added to combat this (such as flares to direct zombie attention away, an item specifically meant to kill zombies quickly, etc.).

    Community Map Submissions

    In the past (long time ago back when creative was still a thing, not sure if this was when it was removed but), there was a subsection on the forums for WarZ titled "Map Submissions". Community members could build different areas/buildings with details such as what zone it would be, where the chests would be placed, etc. and submit onto this section on the forums for a chance of what they built to be implemented into one of the WarZ maps. I feel having this available again would produce a more efficient way of producing map changes, as well as giving people more of an incentive to play Build as well (rather than just people building for CTF I assume). I specifically have done this a while back. I was added to one of the WarZ map remake maps on Build and made changes of my own to the map because the people who were originally building didn't play WarZ. When people who don't play WarZ build for it, often times there are mistakes that are added into the maps (such as OP camping spots, glitch spots, etc.). It's better to have somebody who's knowledgeable of the gamemode build for it, because they know what would work and what wouldn't (similar to how only CTF players build maps for CTF).


    and of course *cough* screensharing protocol https://www.brawl.com/threads/75205/
    ^almost every single knowledgeable WarZ player (including staff for it) agreed that it should be implemented for WarZ to peak. I understand putty would be the one to make this decision but it would help if higher ups pushed for it as well as the general community.

    That's pretty much all I can think of rn, so do with this what you will

    I definitely think that zombies could use a small nerf. I believe the reason flares were removed was because it caused too much lag on the servers. If there's a way to counter this, I think it'd be a great idea. However, if unable to do so, as you said either slightly decreasing their health or making Deagles one shot them (also making the last T4 more useful.) Could also always just decrease the spawn rate of them as well.
    What could possibly be the issue with this? Having the community contribute to the server and constantly giving updates to the map, it sounds like a no brainer. I'm all for it.

    ^^ If added, should be something added to creative where you can set your plot to a WarZ Town or a small section of the town. Not necessary but think it would be cool.

    Screenshare I believe could make this game much more enjoyable, making it easy to catch closet cheaters. Dead Central (Bootleg WarZ) had this, and many cheaters would be banned. If it was to be added, make it so MOD+ can do it. Also, find a way to make it so it can't be abused. There should be sufficient evidence before allowing a screenshare IMO.

    +1 to the ideas

    I really, really like the community map submission idea. Some possible additions:
    • Add incentives to contribute to the map. For example, if you create a POI that gets added to the map, you can get a voucher for the store or a rank for a certain period of time. CTF does this by giving ranks to people whose maps get added in the rotation (I think 3 months of elite?)
    • Like Rob said above, I think a way to set your plot to a WarZ location in order to standardize how submissions are made would be very helpful.
    Overall, one of the most direct ways to make gameplay more interesting is to change the map. Look at games like Fortnite; now, you can't say that the only reason their player retention is so high is because of the always-changing map, but it's definitely a part of the success. At this point, any way to improve our retention would be a huge help, and map submissions is a surefire way to do that.
