splifyphus posted:I was going to main support, but saw that 'zerkers start with a shovel and a katana and a lawnmower blade and jumped right in. And then I discovered the nailgun. There's a medic shotgun too!  To quote the pastor: "Deals out judgement AND healing!", also "Looks like a toy, kicks like a mule!"So far it seems like the first 1-2 levels are the worst, but once you get them the classes start opening up (or at least not becoming a slog). Support sucked until I got the first level (it didn't help I kept getting separated from the rest of the pubby team and getting a total of 15 clots and other trash a round) but that shotgun penetration started to make it shine. Medic sucked at first as well and then I started moving faster and getting the armor bonus. Having +15 armor and +20 health at level five seriously makes up for lack of increased damage with the medic. Also, I will never, ever get tired of the clot's power-walk. He just stomps towards the player going "Yeah, I graduated from clot school! I'm not a cyst, I'm not a slasher, I'm a loving clot! And I'm gonna tear you up! Oh...there went my head..."

Zephro posted:Is KF1-like hilariously atrocious Dick Van Dyke style "British" slang a voicepack option? Please say yes. Unfortunately no, but the characters do still have some fun lines. Speaking of the characters I'm reading through the art book and the story is that the characters in KF2 are now working directly for Horzine, chosen as sort-of Zed Bounty Hunters because Horzine figured, "gently caress it you guys survived the events of KF1, here's some Horzine-supplied weaponry, go kill poo poo for us". I kind of dig that sort of continuity especially since it established that Reverend Al is a badass.

The police constable actually has a fair amount of KF1 lines, which is why I'm playing as him specifically.

Skoll posted:When you use Call Out for Commando, it only seems that people close to you can see the Stalkers as far as you can. Other people on the other side of the map have reported they don't get the benefit. So far, we don't know what the approximate range of being close to the Commando is to see the Stalkers but I'm assuming around the same range you can see them as the Commando. Yep, we couldn't see it unless we were close to you or maybe if it was ones you could see, wasn't too sure on that part. Either way it didn't appear to confer us the ability to see stalkers without you close by. Also played the game a bit, had fun, lots of dead things, didn't win against Hans until started playing with goons.

Shima Honnou posted:IRL the AA-12 is almost twice as heavy as an M4 when fully loaded, but I guess the idea is that since they both do the same damage and the M4 can shoot pretty fast they slapped it with higher weight without taking the actual advantage of the AA-12, the ammo capacity difference, into consideration. Ideally I'd like to see the M4 weigh 6 units, and be an upgrade to the Mossberg. The damage and magazine size can stay as they are, or the damage could be reduced to the Mossberg's level and the magazine expanded to 10 or 8 shells. Cut the AA-12 to 9 WU so I can carry them both and I'd be a happy man. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Apr 22, 2015 |

Incidentally, a thing that would be great is an in-game encyclopaedia that lists the damage/HP value for enemies, an explanation of their mechanics and attacks on each difficulty, and has all the weapon stats from the store visible in one single place.

Require More Fire posted:And this. I noticed this a lot too. Add me to the "fleshpound spawns in front of you if you run away". I had it happen when my team hosed off and I was on my own. I turned and ran, the hallway behind me was full of clots so I had to waste 20 rounds of my AA-12 blasting them into chunks just to get away from the thing. I say wasted, but it was loving awesome. That area was completely clean before I ran through like Terry Crews in the first expendables and after I went through I turned around. Entire hallway was covered in blood (even the loving ceiling) and covered in body parts

Oh, and another really rad thing I noticed while playing last night was how there's all these points where zeds can come from and they're fully animated while doing so; we were fortifying a room for a wave and there were suddenly zeds in there, and I found that they were crawling out of a loving ceiling vent. Later on Paris I found them crawling up out of a manhole. Really neat touch.

Am I reading this right? Is KF2 actually a good Tripwire sequel, and good enough to buy in early access at that? I loved every moment of the first one, but I didn't dare hope the sequel would hold up. Give it to me straight guys, I can handle it.

It's a bit barebones right now (only 4 perks, only 4 weapons for each perk plus some off-perk weapons, and only 3 maps) but everything currently in the game is fantastic and I love it and why am I posting on a stupid internet forum when I could be smashing zeds into walls with a shovel or gibbing them with a shotgun?

Use the matchmaker, the server browser was awful for me and was just showing me lots of full server (and not full servers that when I tried to join them turned out to be full) but the matchmaker seems to work fine. You press play now and it doesnt say anything but 5-30 seconds later you'll just pop into a game

Mostly the reason I took those is so we can have an easy way of knowing which weapon is meant to do more damage than other weapons of the same type/the same damage as weapons X and Y.

Only problem with the medic heal lock on thing is that you can't really see who its going to hit, and could waste your needles hitting a fully healed guy who happens to be closer than the almost dead guy behind him

When I'm being a bad medic it reminds me to be a good medic. I am a bit worried about damage scaling for the medic weapons tho. They seem like they'll be super weak on higher difficulties.
