    Amazingly fun as marine, very unfun as zombie.
    So, yeah, Zombies need to be thoroughly looked at and changed to make it more fun for zombie players.

    I think rounds that are explicitly zombie event rounds are OK -- not my thing, but I can understand the appeal.

    I personally don't enjoy when zombies are tacked onto other events, however (i.e. HvH, colony RP, etc). It just feels like a wrecking ball which demolishes any semblance of RP or atmosphere when there are usually multiple better ways to end the round that are more in-line with the original intent of the event. Personal preference maybe.

    Zombie rounds are fun when the admins let them play their course and dont ruin them with heaps of forced spawns that ruin everything

    Also the best maps for them are prison or big red, but mostly prison

    i havent participated in one for a few months.

    is it still hopelessly one sided with no way to win besides some research lab roleplay that 99% of the players will not participate in or even see?

    do the admins still delete the crematoriums so theres no permissible way to dispose of the bodies that keep coming back to life, despite having a wealth of explosives and flamethrowers that should be able to reduce them to paste and ashes?

    do you still sluggishly lurch around when in zombie mode and fall over if your poor zombie footsies step on broken glass despite eating rifle bullets for breakfast?

    Nearly all arguments you portrayed as negative are actually strenghts of that mode:

    Zombies will always return, you can just hopelessly stale the inevitable, but you can do it in fun ways like last stands and shit. No zombie will kill you in four hits, no zombie will outrun healthy you.

    There is permissible way to dispose of the bodies. Crematorium is just the cheapest, most broken one. Enough firepower will gib dead zombie, C4 and SADAR will do this faster. You can always drag the boddies in a room with only one entrenance etc.

    If you don't have shoes, then you do fall on the ground.

    Zombies aren't "other side of a conflict", they are punishment for those who made enough mistakes, or were unluckey enough to get infected. Concept of a zombie is just straight up crusher charge stop and 180 degrees back of a way that benos do. Zombies are weaker individualy, they are way slower etc.

    Zombies are boring as fuck, our system dosen't allow to create a quarantine fast enough, our code dosen't allow a cure to be created efficiently before losing 80% of all marines to infection, Beheading dosen't work, what is left?

    We play a version of Resident Evil, but we die in the end and there is no cure.
    and i returned, and left. and returned again 19/06/2022, this is my life now.

    so youre saying that playing as zombie is intentionally unfun? well that explains a lot of things, not least of which are the numerous empty, unplayed zombies that are always left standing around

    we're playing game to try to have a bit of enjoyment

    the poll should include an option for "zombie rounds could be fun if only they would implement all my good ideas"

    zombies r just so slow that it is agonizing to move anywhere

    and after all the easy prey is gone, you have to rely on things like laying down and waiting for someone to approach or attacking from blind corners, or just stand there and take every bullet til they retreat and have nowhere else to go

    also i dont like em

    Enjoy the round as marine, suffer punishment as Zombie. If somebody participates in race, runs very fast, but suddently stumbles on a untied shoelace, then he screams about race being unjoyable for him? Of course not. It's nearly the exact same thing.

    I don't really enjoy playing as mere PFC against broken stun spamming benos. Marine vs Benos is just like Zombie vs Marine.
