? I guess it doesn't really matter why zombies can make sounds or move about in water. None of this is possible in real-life anyway, so any explanations would be moot. It only matters that they can; because it makes the game better. How creepy would it be to have zombies that made no sound or just stood on the shoreline while you thumbed your nose at them?
Just my two cents. Take it as you will.

Why not just use movie references and enhancements to the original zombie genre.
Dawn of the dead: Romeroesque style,dumb dead and dangerous in a pack.
"incorporate screamer effect in multiple zombies" "add damage and gore sprite decals on buildings and when zombies damaged"
Return of the Living dead: Brains Brains Brains Brains Brains; Driving force
"return smell mechanic"
Warm Bodies: I can become human again, just let me eat you a bit.
World War Z: some dead some not, all fast, and run in a pack.
"zombie AI attack all creatures, and upgrade intelligence for a time" "go back and use various Ai algorithms, unless you deleted them"
Burying the Ex: really annoying, clingy, emulate human activities, Not so easy to kill.
"Allow some to use rudimentary tools, and weapons, even if badly"
Zombieland: Rule one Cardio; the human re-uprizing.
"already included ingame, humans need some false hope too"
Shadow Warrior: Pithy one liners
"add some verbal audio flavor" "Think trader dialogue, as you are doing battle"
Dod Snow: A controller; with the possibility of a human adapting the raise the dead to battle for them.
"add an asset to allow players to emulate screamer control" "for a really short time of course"
Girl with all the gifts: Controller but smarter than you first think, adaptable, ruthless, patient.
Pride Justice and Zombies: Levels of degradation plus a controller.
"add graves everywhere tombstones to provide stone and primary wood" "raise zombies from the grave"
"think Chiller theatre and have them able to grab you as well as strike stun and knock down"
Patient Zero: A central controller, Zombies Oh, manchild I want to be like you oo. the Duke.

The virus could convert unnecessary organs and fat into some kind of material friendly for anaerobic respiration. The zombies could probably survive a few hours of sustained activity that way. The rest of the time, they can just sleep and get by with slow metabolism. No need to breathe once the conversion is done.

Yeh I agree sharks and crocs and pirahnas rather then the once zombie that has now lost and replaced by anything other then being able to be called a zombie...zombies are not suppose to be breathing air so dont have any air in lungs to help float but..... oh yeah here it comes.... i would rather like to see dangerous fish like maybe.... sharks! as they wouldnt be dead and want something to eat as well... then a human in the water no matter what height/depth would be a free meal as he can out swim a shark.

I know I'm just a random dude... but why not simply make the preparationtime like 5-10 seconds?
Like getting the equipment ready, linking it, grabbing it... And when taking damage while doing it, restarting/canceling it?
Seems like such an easy fix. And if you wanna build 20 hills with ziplines... why shouldnt you be allowed to do? Much more setup needed than vehicles and those are fine...

I do like how you have to connect the power to the object. but a blending into the block/s once you have connected it would be great but still have to connect it properly for it to blend into the blocks and hidden.

Its not they couldnt get it in working its that it didnt mesh well with all of their other designs. Keep in mind the more bells and whistles are added to the game, the more work goes into balancing and such.
For example, having zip lines, diminish gyrocopters, bracing mods (for boots), the parkour perk, and on and on and on. It is a lot harder to add stuff without taking away from other designs than people think...
I hate to be a kill joy but eventually one has to ask oneself, what does zip lines really add to the game and what will it cost in time/resources.
