Killing Floor 2 (COD Zombies Standalone) **March 2015**

Dayum

The Zombies mode in Call of Duty was spawned by the Killing Floor mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 back in the day. Everything from the wave based rounds to the wonder weapons and perk system was ripped from the original mod.

Killing Floor 2 will be released in March 2015! :D:D:D:D:D
(So fans of COD's Zombies mode can rejoice that they'll be getting a fully fledged standalone of the concept). :cool:

You're right but the majority of people have never heard of Killing Floor. They'll be familiar with the COD Zombies mode though.

For me, the lever action rifle is up there with the double barrel from doom 2.

Though saying that, the Hunting Shotgun in KF is also pretty nice, rips through Clots and Gorefasts

Played killing floor but wasn't too keen on it. Zombies was much more enjoyable in my experience. But I will keep an eye on this.

Some new gameplay.

Pc only

Looks just as bland as the first...

I loved the satisfaction of taking off a fleshpound's head with a crossbow. The original KF was a solid game, not spectacular but enjoyable, so I'll probably pick this up at some stage.

^ Saw that earlier. Not as informative as the first video but still nice to hear about the game and see some more footage. Persistent blood is a nice touch and I read that it will have zero impact to game performance given how its being rendered. I hope they add the ability to grab the weaker enemies as a brawler and do stuff like throw them around, that'd be insane amounts of fun especially when a game like this survives on the players making their own fun. I can totally see someone throwing a zed in the air for another person to shoot, slice or re-catch :P That said, they haven't announced anything even remotely like that but not to worry, game looks amazing even without such a feature.

Great news. PS4 users can enjoy the game.

Possible bad news is that they could actually be making design decisions for an FPS based on console release... I really hope that is not the case and they'll assign a dedicated team our outsource for the porting. It'd suck some major dick if the enemies were weaker or any of the difficulty or tight controls and gameplay were effected because of guaranteed high volume of gamepad usage. I don't want another Crysis 2 situation There's also a smaller chance of the game's graphics and/or physics intensity being inherently reduced which I'd be less annoyed about if it was any other game that doesn't rely so heavily on impressive gore, blood and ragdoll physics. Hopefully they'll just 30fps the whole thing on PS4 and call it a day... fingers crossed.

John Gibson has confirmed that PC is the lead platform, and that absolutely no compromises will be made to the PC version because of PS4 development.
PC still gets dedicated servers, no aim assists, hell on earth difficulty, and no graphical downgrades that usually come with multiplat development.

Still no release date on this....E3?

Should drop the "cod zombies" part of the thread title, it's a bit misleading as this game is made by another developer that unlike CoD's developer(s) and publisher, actually cares about their community and puts a ton of effort into their game after launch. Killing Floor 1 was good mindless fun that also came with some really cool mods that gave different experiences (FREE!).

I agree. Mods.....edit?

ShadowHearth

Me and the lads have a few still play Killing floor 1. The new objective mode is a lot of fun, but can be really hard balls to the wall style.

KF2 is actually one game that I really really looking forward to this year. I can bet it will come out around Halloween!

Hmm, I don't know...

There was a release date for September that went up earlier on Steam as well as a preview in PC Gamer set for June. Both have been since taken down...

Hopefully soon....we'll see.

FYI In the TB video they mention that it'll be an early release game and will be so for about 6 months before going to full release.

Listening to the commentary it sounds like for them, early release is the same as a company who release a game too early and proceed to patch every couple of week until ready.

Indeed they are

Gonna pick this up later. Put a good chunk of hours into the original and very few games compare in regards the sound and meatyness of the guns.

Ah, gotta love the cockney accents

Im a bit brassic, can anyone lend me a tenner?

Gunmonkey

It'll be released on the Playstation at some point.

No luck if you're an Xbox One owner.

Cravez

Played it there for a bit. Have to say i'm well impressed for an Early Access. It looks amazing and well polished already. Guns still feel meaty.

It feels a little different from KF1 (not in a bad way) and I found myself like I was back to square one in playing as the enemy AI reacts a lot differently and the mechanics feel slightly different.

PedroBear

Killing Floor 2 has knocked Grand Theft Auto 5 off the Steam top selling chart ffs.

This is becoming a nightmare for Tripwire....

They're sending out notifications to players saying that they can't deal with the amount of people trying to access the servers. Apparently, they have enough servers to accommodate 5,000 players but OVER 50K are trying to get on!!!



Christ on a bike!!!!! :O

Azza

Had a play for about an hour or two. Pretty impressed so far. Quite polished. A little bit of warping but otherwise seems pretty solid.

Yeah, I was trying to play last night after it launched, took ages to find a working server.

The game itself runs great and is lots of fun, now we just gotta hope for more servers to pop up

Cravez

It took ages to actually get into a server, anytime you clicked on a server that had 0/6 players, as soon as you tried to join it was completely full. I only got lucky joining any random server.

JD1763

Had the same problem with the servers but given the news that so many players were trying to log in its to be expected day 1. Things will probably calm down over the next few days and the number of active players will drop to more normal levels.

Managed to get one full game played in the lab and was pretty good - fast paced and nice level design. One thing that I found frustrating was the seemingly random slow motion kick in, not sure what triggers it but there are times when you are mid reload or out of combat and its a little annoying waiting for it to end when you just want to get back into the action. I know its only a few seconds but still its a little irritating at times.

The boss at the end was tough as well - he dropped our whole team pretty quickly. That corrosive attack does huge damage and he just soaks up the rounds. Maybe we hadn't prepared properly for him or fought in the wrong location but he straight up wrecked us.

So far - loving this game.

PedroBear

Jim Sterling likes it.

So it MUST be good.

Yeah, I haven't been able to play it that much, just finished a round on Paris, I think the best way to beat him is to face him in an open space so you can spread out and not get so much dmg from the grenades.

The fact that the healing dart now locks in is really awesome, I used to hate playing medic in KF1 due to having to aim the jumping lads, now no need to

How's the optimization for this? FPS etc..
