Mostly curious. I’ve got a mild customized start scenario for Overrun (just opening it up for all professions), and for funsies I tried cranking spawns to max. What I found was that the base was almost entirely destroyed by sheer mass of zombies punching shit. Anything not a reinforced concrete wall was leveled. First attempt to poke my head out resulted in Zombie Gangbang in the service tunnels. And, well, immediate death.  
Speaking from a practical perspective, I’ve found that 5.0 spawns are about the max that you can feasibly handle. Anything past that, there’s too many to allow clever tricks and using traps/terrain/etc to work.  
So what are your experiences? Do you play with spawns cranked to max?
