Killing Floor

[StoneKnightMan]

Note: i asked one of the mods to merge the threads.

Killing Floor is a rated M FPS game made by the company, Tripwire Interactive

The plot:

In London, a company called Horzine Biotech was making specimens for military purposes but they went out of control and slaughtered the staff and security and poured themselves into many places in UK where they kill and destroy everything they see. They are lead by the their master, The Patriarch (Fomerly Kevin Clamley, CEO of Horzine) and now he aims to spread the specimens to all corners around the U.K. And soon, the world.

But that's where the British military comes in. The player goes into a zed infested area where he must survive a wave of Zeds. A regular server can hold up to 8 players.

The Zeds:
Clot: the basic enemy. If they get too clove to you. They'll grab you.
Gorefast: enemy with a machete tied to his arm and will start running at you
Crawler: very annoying enemy. They can jump at you.
Bloat: fat guy. Pukes corrosive vomit at you.
Stalker: female zombie that is invisible to approach and claw the players
Husk: enemy with an arm cannon that shoots fire balls.
Siren: is woman that screams do damage and destroy explosives
Scrake: enemy with chainsaw he will run at full speed if half of his health s gone
And fleshpound: once shot. He will be angered at run at the players and do severe damage.

And the patriarch: he has a rocket launcher, machine gun for an arm, can turn invisible, a spear that comes from his chest, his claw can do extreme knockback, and can use 3 health syringes to heal

The player perks:
Sharpshooter: pistols, crossbows, laser sight rifle and sniper rifles, their focus is getting headshots
Specialist: shotguns. Their focus is welding doors faster and carrying lots of guns.
Berserker: machetes, axes, and swords. Their focus is cutting Zeds down to size and have increased movement speed and can't be grabbed by clots and activating zed time.
Firebug: flare pistols, flamethrower, and husk fireball launcher. their focus is kill everything with fire. With fire resistance.
Commando: ak47 and other assault rifles. Their focus is seeing stalkers from afar and activating zed time.
Field medic: smg guns with healing darts put in. Their focus is healing allies more and faster movement speed.
Demolitionist: grenade launchers, proximity mines, and rocket launcher. Their focus is blowing things up.

I played this a lot when I was in high school and really enjoyed it. Even it's sequel too. Killing Floor 2.

Both games are available on steam. Check them out.

I nabbed this game as part of the PS+ free game thing, it's pretty fun in short bursts and the games (at least on ps4) are usually pretty full. I'd recommend nabbing it for under ten bucks on sale.

I have a good chunk of hours in 2 and 1. I am a big shill for Tripwire games. As they have some of the best gunplay out there, and honestly 2 overall is a better game then 1.

Also they have been hinting at the upcoming Halloween update.

We will be getting the FAL, MKB42(H), and some new combo medic/commando rifle.

On top of all the Zeds getting some sorta Halloween costume.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

I play here and there, though usually only on medium difficulty. Love some some support shotgunning.

 

[Hideous K]

[POWER IN MISERY]

[Bob Page]

I like the berzerker perk. Always liked the melee combat and being able to tank the zeds while mulching them.

I just can't get into this game. I loved the first one and have Lvl. 6 on everything except Commando but I just can't enjoy 2. The guns feel so weaksauce and the game feels so unsatisfying to me. Am I doing something wrong?

Not really. The 2nd one has a totally different tone to it than the first one which can be off putting if you dug the kind of grimy feel of the first one. The whole "you're always surrounded" mantra they went with the 2nd one is also the complete opposite of the first one's "rushed but manageable" flow once you got good enough. I still say the 2nd one just flat out cheats to kill you most of the time, with how the spawns work; and how fleshpounds rage out of sight. God I hate that shit.

 

[StoneKnightMan]

hey guys. so the third game was announced. i asked an admin to merge both the kf1 and kf2 threads so we can talk about the whole series in general.

anyway. Killing Floor 3 has been announced.

the trailer looks cool. the contruction of a fleshpound and it looks like you can kill zeds with your bare hands. like doing glory kills in doom.

 

[Mr.Miyagi]

I'm guessing the 2nd one sold well enough to finance a third, then? I loved the first, but the 2nd always felt off for some reason, and the weird cosmetic lootbox stuff seemed out of place. Interested to see how this one goes.

All of the fancy visuals and cool guns were nice, but something about the game just felt like it was missing soul.

It's frustrating, because I feel very inarticulate when I try to describe how I felt playing it. I enjoyed the build up to release, would check out all the videos and articles discussing things like the advances in the gore system, the environments, the new music style. Then it came out out, and I played it, recognized it as a fun, good game...but just didn't want to keep playing. I could never really pinpoint why.

 

[White Devil]

I feel KF got too cartoonish after the first one and this one looks no different. A LOT of things about KF2 left a bad taste in my mouth so I think I'd be skipping this one entirely unless I see different. I have several hundred hours in both games too, which means its sad to not want to try this one but that's just the direction Tripwire went. The dev politics are a whole other bag of worms too.
