Sounds like good ideas. I like the idea of the destructible lights so you have to watch where you shoot, too bad I didn't get to see the way that worked out in the earlier version. I don't know how well it would work as an exchange for more throwables though, because if you shoot out the lights on accident because a tank got through your defenses those throwables will do you little good if you cannot see very well. Maybe I just didn't get to see how it worked before, but that's my impression of the way it would turn out. I guess it could use a test run to experiment.

I will say it is "easy" enough with the lower amount of throwables, but the difficulty is very intermittent. And when I say that, I mean so long as you keep the zombies out of the spawn you are good, if they get through your defenses you can lose immediately with a single bad decision. You can get a gold one round and barely get a bronze the next, it just varies drastically. It is challenging to keep them out, and when you fail to do so you can lose in a heartbeat. Those rounds where you last 10+ minutes would be nice to have another spare pipebomb or so lying around, but it really isn't "necessary" because it does keep it more challenging early on. It's just when you do good that the lower amount really becomes noticeable.

Alternatively, as an idea, place more pipebombs or bile jars in the spawn so the survivors can use them as a temporary distraction so they can then scavenge in the hallway again. As of now you get one shot in the beginning because adventuring back into the hallway is suicidal after the round starts up fully. If you place more distracting equipment in the beginning and concentrated the guns/ammo in the first few holes you could actually give the player a good reason to go back into the hallway a second time, and make it possible as well. Just a thought, again it would require testing.
