Yeah I kinda got bored once we figure out how to cheese the zombies. They really need zombies to climb surfaces, spiderman style, because right now all you REALLY need to do is get on any roof and stand there and do nothing. It's actually better if you don't shoot them because then they'll just spend all night flailing at your support structure and won't keep spawning birds. Kill any birds and then twiddle your thumbs.
There are a ton of options though. I was messing around some in single player but it's hard to decide what to do without setting arbitrary rules for ourselves (like "no running away". Running away is too easy. On the other hand, if we set zombies to nightmare speed then it's hard to even fight them normally).
Jack up the zombie ability to bust walls and you kinda ruin the point of building defenses at all.
Step up the difficulty and you just up your ammo requirements and make melee that much less viable.
I wonder about something like:
16 zombies per person
Zombies "jog"
Leave their block damage as-is (there will, after all, be shitloads of them)
My thinking is that by making them merely jog we get more of a chance to fight them as ridiculous hordes of them stream in. 16 of them will beat up any structures so they shouldn't really need a damage boost. It doesn't really help or hurt our ability to run away because that's easy even on Sprint. It just gives more chances to shoot them coming in and maybe even risk some melee.
This might make them hard to cheese too because there will be so many more boomers, spitters and birds. I suspect we'll need larger structures because they'll tear up anything small. (Actually thought about taking over the top floor of a hotel and block off some of the stairs. You'll catch a break between waves as the next wave has to work its way up.)
