Why not boob mods?

Spear and staff are SO basic in regard to survival tools. I would much rather have a staff than a club. Longer reach and faster attack. Shields however seem like a bad idea. Once you have more than 3 around you, a shield is useless. Anyone that stands toe to toe with a zombie for more than a couple attacks is going to get hit or their shield ripped off their arm.

Mods are the saving grace of this game. Many overhaul mods are much, much better than what TFP are capable of. Sure, they make the base code, but the modders work their magic and perfect it and make it WAY more interesting. If your not playing some of the better mods, your playing a gimped game. But then again, some people like gimps.

No new weapons for A17, reskinning the trees took priority!

It's not like the game needs new weapons. We have a pretty good balance of variety right now.
Also a17 is a hell of a lot more than just re-skinning the threes. Are you smoking crack?

Something more along the lines of a center grip shield would be better than the strapped shield a lot of people picture. A reinforced trash can lid would actually be pretty nasty offensive and defensive weapon. I think too many people are only aware of a shield as a defensive device and not as an offensive weapon.
See this vid for and idea of what I mean:

Hmmm...OK, there were spears with cross-guards so you could impale someone at a distance, but also push them back, and ultimately off of your spear if you're fighting outdoors....but what if you're fighting in close-quarters or indoors. I can't recall seeing a sword or very short spear that had a cross-guard closer to the end of the blade for the same purpose. If you did use a trash-can lid shield, it would be a perfect weapon to stab with while always pushing your target back. Is there some obvious flaw that I'm missing in such a weapon which prevented it from becoming "a thing"?
