Suggestion description
i think you should be able to hear gunshots in the surrounding area. whenever there are multiple shots fired on the same block within a few minutes time there would be a notice much like that for flare guns. you could put filters in the settings menu for ignoring shots baised on time passed, distance away, number of shots fired. you dont have to give the exact number of shots either, like "you hear rapid gunfire 4 blocks north (1 hour and 32 minutes ago) or "you here multiple shotgun blasts comming from next door (2 hours ago)" it would be cool if you could distinguish between pistol and shotgun fire aswell. lets face it, you can here gunshots and in real life so why not put it in the game? this isnt just a flavor text change it could be used by non-metagaming zombies and humans alike to figure out where the most activity is. as a human if you hear "a ton of gunfire from 3 blocks north"(or something to that affect) then you know there's proubly a zombie horde breaking in 3 blocks north. on the other hand as a zombie gunshots let you know where humans are alive and shoting. different flavor texts should be used to tell the difference between 10 and 100 shots fired on the same block, for obvious reasons.

Keep Votes

1. Keep Interesting. As Kill number 1 below said, there are some issues - it would probably need to be modified to be feasible. But something like, "You hear a little/lot/something of gunfire. Most of it is coming from the northwest." might be useful without being overwhelming. --User:Grant

Kill Votes

1. Kill No.It will cause a lot of spam,since a lot of people use gun.I don't want to log in and see 100 gunshot message.I would like a smaller range.4 blocks is too much. --Perne 09:57, 27 June 2007 (BST)
2. Kill See the talk page.--Seventythree 11:15, 27 June 2007 (BST)
3. Kill A lot of spam, and too favorable to zombies. It would be like survivors groaning at themselves.--karek 12:16, 27 June 2007 (BST)
4. Kill - I agree with Karek on this one. I keep two pistols and three shotguns fully loaded at all times - could you imagine if I wanted to unload my arsenal? You might as well strap a generator to my back and wrap me up in Christmas tree lights. --Ryiis 14:50, 27 June 2007 (BST)
5. I agree with Seventythree - This is not spam material, and with soem work on the talk page, you could fix thsi up good (it worked with mine :D ) --Bruce Torbaron 15:03, 27 June 2007 (BST)
6. Kill - The spam would be unbearable. As it is groans and radio spam is enough. --Sir Sonny Corleone ^{RRF CRF DORIS Hunt!} 17:24, 27 June 2007 (BST)
7. Kill - As Seventythree. --Sonofagun18 04:15, 28 June 2007 (BST)
8. Kill - The spam could be bad; if everyone turned it off this suggestion would be pointless. Can be salvaged, but otherwise with karek. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 04:32, 28 June 2007 (BST)
9. Change - Won't work as it is, maybe with the changes suggested on the talk page. --Midianian 15:44, 28 June 2007 (BST)
10. Kill - another groan. more spam, less functionality.-- Vista  +1  20:54, 28 June 2007 (BST)
11. Kill - Just kind of pointless.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 00:40, 29 June 2007 (BST)
12. Kill - The suggestion as you have it here is bad. You should have taken it to the Developing Suggestions page first to get some help on it. armareum 21:45, 29 June 2007 (BST)
13. Kill - Too spammy. Besides, in a a city full of zombies and gunfire, I think it would be hard to hear just one. --Heavy DDR 22:04, 13 July 2007 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. This suggestion has been suggested before, I believe. It should be somewhere in Rejected. If not, then this causes spam, spam, and more spam. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 22:43, 8 July 2007 (BST)
