>Almost been a year since this turd dropped
I haven't touched it since a few weeks after launch, is it worth reinstalling yet or is it still barebones as fuck?
>>332669790
it already has more content than the first KF had during the first two years after the launch.
The Sharpshooter perk's coming out in the very near future, at which point it'll have more perks than KF1 ever had. They'll be releasing a new patch within the next couple weeks, that will add the SS' weapons as off-perk weapons, the new Versus mode, and a brand new map. The actual implementation of SS will follow soon after.
The Gunslinger perk's been a damn fine SS-replacement so far, though.
As an old fan of KF (started with the pre-release demo of the 2005 original mod), and as someone who picked up KF2 only last december, it's been great fun. Obviously you quickly eat through the 8 main maps we got so far, but even that's more than what KF1 started with, and we already got some custom maps rotating on servers.
My only two remaining wishes would be TWI finally adding a proper in-game server setup menu (Listen servers already confirmed), and not taking 5 years to release Objective mode.
>>332670662
>TWI
You know TWI out-source massively now? That objective mode was the product of them getting another dev to do their updates for them.
>>332670662
The lead designer and lead art director have quit TWI
After sharpshooter, the game will die
You dont understand how huge of a role those two empty chairs have in game development
>>332670662
>it already has more content than the first KF had during the first two years after the launch.
>>332670934
no, I actually did not know that.
I was aware of the last few years of KF1's maps and weapons being community products, though.
>>332671084
well, I guess we'll wait and see.
>>332671132
it's true, ya know. Most newfags can't even remember how broken mess KF1 was after the launch. Not to mention some Perks had to deal with ONE fucking weapon for several years.
>>332671132
well he's half right
it has more content now than KF1 did at release
but not after its first two years
they need to remove the fucking early access shit already
>>332671335
>no, I actually did not know that.
Since 2013 Tripwire has been out-sourcing work on their games to Anti-Matter games, the team who made Rising Storm. All updates to KF and RO2 have either been done by Anti-Matter.
They're also involved in the development of KF2.
>>332671368
the early access part was supposed to come off december
The deadline for all the classes came and yet TWI broke their promise and instead took a 3 month vacation, returning with only updates each month with things noone wanted. like versus mode, early access real money shop, and crates with quality tiered skins
Theyre trying to rake in as much cash as they can without doing any real work
>>332671335
I don't care. They killed demolitions for me so I'm not happy, and I really hate the levelling system. every fifth level super buffs instead of incremental gains was a terrible design implementation.
>>332671693
sounds like tripwire to me
>>332671368
>but not after its first two years
Demo wasn't added almost a year after release.
Same thing with the Husk, AK and Katana.
Tier-3 weapons were added even more later than that, and it wasn't until 2011 that FB finally got its second actual perk-weapon, the MAC.
>>332671726
>every fifth level super buffs instead of incremental gains
you still got incremental gains, they are just tad smaller. I personally like the Perk Skills too.
>>332671891
right but they took away the incremental buffs that were actually useful like reload speed for gunslinger and reduced weapon costs for demo. Just unforgivable shit design.
I wanna get it on PS4 if it ever releases. Does it have a due date?
>>332672062
>PS4
lol
enjoy HoE
>>332672062
never ever (tm)
I just don't see how anyone could play this kind of fast-paced game on anything but the lowest difficulty + aim-assist, when using a gamepad.
>>332672174
I don't know how but mygf uses a controller and is quite good, plays HoE frequently
I don't know how to fucking explain it, it makes no goddamn sense
>>332672143
No idea what that is. I just don't play my PC anymore and would encourage friends to pick it up too.
>>332672174
The first was hardly a challenge. Some classes will just be more effective on one platform over the other. Plus slow motion should make it relatively easy.
>>332672429
>The first was hardly a challenge
Yeah, on Normal mode, maybe.
KF2's "Normal" pretty much equals KF1's "Hard", which is why all Perks start with their tier-1 weapons right off the bat. Not to mention the whole behavior of enemies change and they get more aggressive on higher modes.
>Plus slow motion should make it relatively easy.
you do know that the Zed time is a randomly activated phenomenon, that usually triggers upon cool kills?
I got 101 hours, but they're really taking their time and game is less optimized now.
>>332673095
>KF2's "Normal" pretty much equals KF1's "Hard"
I think you meant the other way around.
>>332673343
no, I don't.
We never even touched KF1's easy when we started, and Normal wasn't too bad at any point. Yet before we started reaching LV10 on #2, we had hard time beating most maps.
>>332673576
>Yet before we started reaching LV10 on #2, we had hard time beating most maps.
...on Normal, that is.
do you like fish and chips aand killing floor mate, loads of money! dosh! :^)
>>332673664
But KF2 Normal is like equivalent of KF1 Easy. And KF2 Hard is KF1 Normal.
>>332673576
>>332673664
>having a hard time
>on "every zed gets a massive health debuff and move at a snail's pace" Normal mode
>ever
Killing Floor 1 was a mix of comedy (due mostly to the silly voices) and B-Movie horror action. KF2 seems too polished and has lost the humour element.
>>332673801
i like eating at fish and chips and playing killing floor, wongaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>332674150
I was hoping we would get 10 crazy British accents instead of 1. We ended up with 1 that isnt anywhere near as outrageous as the first
>>332669790
Honestly it's a pretty decent game for 30 bucks now. After the next update it's easily worth it since they're adding in two new modes, an objective mode and a vs mode with playable zeds. Not to mention they're patching in the code necessary to do on the fly balance tweaking (previously it required a full deployment so they bundled it with major content updates slowing down the releases).
All that aside there's enough content as it currently stands to get your moneys worth out of the game.
>>332674263
>We ended up with 1
Pretty sure we ended up with at least three since Foster, Matserson, and Briar are British. But you're right they aren't nearly as fun as they were in KF1.
Classic Briar and Classic Masterson are great though.
>>332674596
And we still don't have Harold Lott skin
>>332674736
>literally asking for meme skins
I fucking hate you /v/tards.
>>332669790
I dont mean to shill... but the vs mode looks like it could be pretty fun.
Also I learned that the game becomes a lot more entertaining when you start playing on custom maps; Infernal Realm/DevaStation top fuckin tier. Im actually having fun in this game again.
>>332671693
>the early access part was supposed to come off december
Can you provide a source for that?
I always see that claim being used in these threads, but it was my understanding (which may be wrong) that December was TW's estimate of the "minimum" time it would take for the game to be ready to come out of EA.
If that were the case, it would still be a stupid estimate for them to give, but not as big a deal as people on /v/ try to make it out, like TW promised people it was gonna be Dec.
Though maybe they did, which is why I'm asking.
>>332674150
I assume you haven't played since they added Classic Briar and Masterson.
That's literally all that was missing and it's back. EZ.
I do agree the other characters are bland in comparison though.
>>332675431
IIRC in the original steam listing for the KF2 EA they listed all sorts of shit like being fully released in 2015 with 10 perks several game modes etc. They're releasing content but at an incredibly slow rate and their communication is absolutely horrible. At one people people were complaining so badly on the forums about their broken EA promises the community support guy Yoshiro essentially said "fuck off you got exactly what you paid for when you bought into EA and we (tripwire) have zero obligation to even finish the game.
>>332675327

>>332676143

Anon you are the faggot here
>>332676745

Fuck off and die meme-kid.
>>332677071
>No im better than you
Here is your second (you) enjoy it mate
>>332676064
I pay close attention to their forums and I never saw that.
There was a TW employee who (much more politely than that) said that naming content updates "free updates" was appropriate even for those who bought EA, but it wasn't Yoshiro and it wasn't what you said.
Unless you can show me. Maybe that did happen and I somehow am only hearing of that after several big KF2 threads on /v/ and reading the forums almost daily and never hearing about it. But I somehow doubt it, people would have thrown a shitfit prior to your post.
Anyway, yeah, as far as I know, the 10 perks and multiple game modes are still in the cards. My inquiry is about TW's specification of release date. The more I think about it, the more skeptical I grow that TW specified Dec 2015 as a guaranteed date to have 10 perks and more game modes out, because that would be insane, even if TW were getting updates done at a more reasonable rate.
I feel like I'm shilling for TW here but goddamn, I've seen /v/ spread so much misinformation about KF2 it's getting to me.
>>332678247
>nu-uh, I'm better dan u!
Get the fuck off my lawn you shitty neo-/v/ kids.
KF2 is pretty OKish. It's got a fair number of maps and once the sharp is in all the original perks. There's just something about it that isn't as interesting as the first one though. I'll play a few games every once in a while but it just feels kind of dead inside. I don't know. Like a really cute girl who you got on with really well 5 years ago but now she's just dull as hell to be around.
>early access done right!
My ass, filthy kikes.
>>332680107
The only reason I don't play it as much is no friends who have it, have a few that have 1 but it can be annoying to get into the same game as them. It's a shame that you can't form a party in 1 before joining a match like you can in 2
I'm so done with early access after this.
Way too many games end up slowing production to a fucking halt as soon as they get their money.
I like Rising Storm 2 so far, and the gun mechanics look great. But I'm waiting and seeing.
Like many other games the only problem i have with KF2 are the MASSIVE fucking faggots that play it.
Huge detailed beautiful maps and everyone finds the easiest spot to exploit and you just camp there for 40 minutes till the next map then do the same fucking thing. Over and Over and over.
Everyone is a faggot.
I got nearly 300 hours in it. For some reason I really like watching porn on another monitor while I play it mindlessly.
We have been waiting for sharpshooter for over 4 months and they still haven't even given us a release date for it
instead, they're releasing two weapons from sharpshooter's pool and a fucking pvp mode to appease all the autistic L4D2 children
>>332681884
>autistic L4D2 children
Calling other people autistic while playing Killing Floor, a game where the entire purpose is to shoot the same monster tens of thousands of times.
>>332671335
Because Killing Floor 1 had a very VERY small number of developers, so it was somewhat justified for a lack of content.
If killing floor 2 DIDN'T improve in this regard, i'd be incredibly surprised, given it has a much larger amount of people behind it.
>>332681206
That's a game flaw not a community one
You sound like the guy that bitches about camping in tactical games
>>332669790
I play it from time to time thanks to library sharing.
It's meh and no updates.
Game was supposed to be finished by December.
It still isn't finished.
>>332683767
No its not a game flaw, its a faggot flaw. People who hate challenge and only want to win in the easiest way possible all the time.
And I play tons of tacticle games like arma, squad, rainbow six old and new, and red orchestra. I dont complain about camping, but I complain in vermintide when people fag it up as much as humanly possibly and exploit everything any anything they can. Or in left 4 dead 1 where every faggot thought it was 100% necessary every single game for all survivors to camp in a corner on top of each other during big waves.
The game only improves on the original in one regard, which is mainly graphics. The only reason i see to buy kf2, is if you played for the original for HUNDREDS of hours.
Killing Floor 2's currently caters to a very casual audience. The skill ceiling of the original is gone, and mechanics like grenade chaining in the original, which added depth, are removed in KF2 for some strange reason. The one thing i can think of, which objectively improves gameplay, in killing floor 2 is the hitboxes. The original game had god awful hitboxes, thankfully this game improves this signifcantly.
The Versus mode which they are going to add soon also proves how they are catering to casuals. They still have 3 perks to add, their respective weapons, and start balancing this game. Instead, they're producing a mode that no one has asked for, and putting promised content on hold in place of it. It was fine when it was just a "side project" for the workshop, but this mode is now taking up development time/testing/balancing in place of content that WE WANT and were promised.
There's also the early access model, which is stupid. To put it simple, this is how they treat it.
If the update released is buggy, they're defended by people who say "it's early access". If it takes ages for an update they say "this is a polished early access".
It's an early access game... but it's not.
To put it simple: Buy KF1, it is much better than KF2. KF2 is only good for casual playing, which KF1 still does well.
>>332684367
If the game doesn't stop people from camping one stop without trouble, it's a flaw with the game.
>>332669790
>dropped
Wait it actually released?
I thought it was in EA
>>332684367
People stay in one place because of zed teleporting. This game is in a limbo of where it *punishes* camping by destroying light sources and visibility. and walking around the map is punished because of zeds teleporting everywhere instead of following you.
Also worth mentioning, camping is harder than kiting in this game. If you have a class with movement speed(slinger, med, berserker) then you can outrun anything that poses a threat. You can literally beat the hardest difficulty solo by running mindlessly with a lvl25 gunslinger, and missing 75% of your headshots.
>>332685230
Nope, still in EA.
We do have an update coming though, after like 10 years.
They're adding a L4D mode before they add the ability to host listen servers. I just want to play LAN with the lads on stupid custom maps
>versus mode added
>1/4 waves
>all zeds get new abilities
I wonder if we'll see any of them in the new difficulties
