Crawlers camouflaging themselves in the piles of corpses constantly at my feet and preventing me from moving past them is much worse than being turned to face a clot that grabbed me

All will be solved when pyro is released if it's anything like KF1. One of the best things about them was their fire grenades. You could get surrounded by the small stuff and throw one at your feet since you're immune to fire.

My favorite part about being a firebug was when you really needed to get the gently caress out you'd open the hose up and just walk down a hallway.

Also a fully charged shot from the husk gun would stun scrakes. Flare pistols took out husks pretty good. Only thing they had trouble with was fp's. But you can kite those with fire if you're careful.

Tips should be put in the OP. I've noticed a lot of new players and its :shobon: as gently caress seeing them make the same mistakes I did when kf1 came out.

#7 doesn't really apply to commandos though. The cheaper rifles give more bullets per dollar dosh than the 9mm. 9mm when a commando is for when you've made a great error when deciding to reload.

We don't even agree on it internally at Tripwire (Shocking revelation: we are not a game design hive mind) but if you're ever going to try out a mechanic early access is the place to do it. If it loving sucks we can always change it or make it an option or whatever. I'm just glad that something solves the problem in KF1 of not being able to move and not knowing that you're grabbed by a clot until a Fleshpound has expanded your anus.

GOONS HE-

It's nice to see to know it's technically possible, but whenever I see videos like that I'm never really impressed. Lets see it go that smoothly when there's crawlers and sirens and clots running around and garbage cans and fences to get in your way.

That said, there's custom maps already?? Are they on the tripwire forum or am I going to have to go searching?

Well it's a scrake so you're free to calmly shoot around it while you find a spot where you're comfortable dealing with it

If it were a fleshpound there's no way you'd get away with that

And that's the current test map. Someone posted it a few pages ago and I think it was on the tripwire forum

how do they work?
Add me to the chorus of people saying the clots grab mechanic makes sense. I now actually have to pay attention to them, they're not just fodder.

I know i'm gonna get told its a dumb idea, however:

Can you do the same for crawlers? Say if one gets close enough it grabs your foot and your character either has to curbstomp or shoot the thing. A "Press V to Stomp" thing would work well there.

Make it so its stackable too, so if you get grabbed by 3 crawlers they each grab a different limb and you have to shoot them off. Would make them way creepier/scarier and dodges the whole "i can never see those loving crawlers" issue.

No, the crawlers feat is that they hard(er) to spot and hit and can jump around, theyre annoying enough without burrying you in a QTE of all things

if anything i'd want the enemies to be more unique instead of filling the same roles.

I mean more in the sense of you can either look at them and press V to stamp on them, or shoot them (not a "press button to succeed, it'd just be like melee bashing a clot but with a different animation) I know its a dumb idea, but the idea of someone getting covered in crawlers is so creepy and horrifying, so I had to mention it.

In fact, let me replace my weapon butt with a power kick. gently caress it :black101:

Make it demo only. Every class has its own weapon bash, each more ridiculous than the last. If you're playing as an English character you scream "DOSH" and bash in a zeds head with money.

I'm not sure why being impressed even matters. I now know how one could dodge that attack easily and that's pretty much the purpose of that video so it worked.

Yeah I just kinda assumed they would track you well enough to do a 180 with the attack like pretty much any other game ever.
Now I just need to stop wetting myself and run past rather than away.

I think maybe the biggest issue is that he won't do that when enraged, so you'll need to tell your team not to shoot them. I'm playing with a 6 man group, so its not an issue but for others it'll be a lot harder.

About a year ago there was a PC Gamer article that was the official reveal of KF2, and if you bought their magazine that month you got a code for the Dosh Foster stuff.

I kinda feel like FleshPounds need to be tweaked upward. In KF1 seeing that red light appear on his chest was an oh poo poo moment but he does it so often in KF2 it doesn't mean much and even when he rages his damage is still pretty meh. Scrakes are much more of a threat so far compared to FleshPounds

I agree, but if they do this they should revert the Fleshpound rage mechanic back to what it was. I realize a lot of people are loving masochists and want the game to be hard as balls for everyone as well as themselves, but making an insta-rage KF 1 style FP just wouldn't be much fun.

Thats one of my main issues with the fleshpounds actually. Before they were kinda scary (if i missed my crossbow headshots) but now a medic will throw a healing grenade at my feet and i'll just unload into it while it futilely tries to kill me.

Fleshpound HP needs to be brought down or there's a damage threshold mechanic that I don't understand. I emptied a full AA12 mag into one of their heads on Suicidal and it killed me despite shot pellets now being the majority of its skull contents by volume.

It may just be that the AA12 is weaker. According to the store stats all shotguns do the same amount of damage now, which seems strange.

Double-barrel fires 12 pellets instead of 7 like all other shotguns but the medic one (6x20) and the RoF for all the guns obviously varies a lot. In general it seems like they smoothed out the weapons so that the t4 aren't miles ahead of the starter or t2 guns, but are still noticeably better.
