    My brothers and I made an infection game but we would like the zombies to respawn at the same time when they die so that they don't keep running out and dying one by one. We went to the advanced settings and enabled the synchronization option and it still didn't work. We have only test played it with six people so there were only 3 starting zombies. Do you have to have a bigger team for the synchronization option to work?

    No... syncronization does not mean that zombies will wait for everyone to die to respawn all at once.. it just means that if some die while others are waiting to respawn, then they will all respawn at the same time. hence if you set the respawn time to lik 30 seconds... once one zombie dies it starts the 30 second respawn for him... anyone that dies in those 30 seconds will respawn with him as soon as his timer gets all the way down...

    thanks for the reply but for some reason it still doesn't work. Does it matter if we are all on the same xbox because we are? Whenever a zombie dies, the countdown will start (I think we have it on 10 or 15 seconds) and then when another zombie dies while the other one is counting down to respawn it just starts at 10 (or fifteen) again, so they still spawn at different times.

    Think of this; there are 3 zombies, zombie A,B and C. Zombie A dies and his respawn timer is at 30. When his respawn timer is at 16, zombie B dies. Then after 16 seconds (when zombie A's respawn timer has run out), Zombie A and B spawn together.
    Its like an all release system, when 1 zombie dies, he starts a timer, and every other zombie that had died in the mean time respawns when the timer runs out.
    I hope this helps.

    ya I know but for some reason it doesn't work. I enabled synchronization in a game of team slayer and it worked but when I enable it in infection, it's like it doesn't even do anything. Has anyone actually had this work on a game of infection? if so could you tell me how you did it?
