I think how the explosion proc works is that it's ANY firebug perk weapon attack as long as the zed is on fire.

There seems to be a pretty nasty bug with kick voting, after the vote and the end of the current wave the game seems to go down the list randomly and initiate another one on some other player. At first I thought it was just people being morons, but after I started a vote to kick a low level out of a HoE game, another vote on a person popped up for seemingly no reason, everyone seemed confused by it, and I couldn't vote on it at all as if I'd initiated it. What makes this worse is the fact that a lot of pubs seem to just press F1 even if they have zero idea about why someone's getting voted out, because surely there must be a reason. :downs:

This might be a known issue, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere and it seems to weird people out a lot in pub games.

This just happened to me last night, we voted to kick a crappy player and almost immediately afterwards there was a vote to kick me. I asked around and no one admitted to initiating the vote, so either it's a common bug or I've just been playing with a bunch of cowards :argh:

I'm still torn by KF2. The more I play the more I think its just KF HD. Has there been any word about new enemys? More reasons to try out weps that are not in your current class?
I assume the issue of I hate all these drat levels will be fixed like KF1 had by opening up to user created content. The grind and the shittyness of Demo has me down though.

is KF HD such a a bad thing? They also plan on innovating with the classes like the gunslinger, swat, martial artist and whatnot, and the mod/mapping is pretty open so that "problem" will be solved as well. The Demo is fine I feel, other than the starting pistol though.

Same dark as heck maps, same dull enemys, and same slow progression. Looks prettier but things like the welding seem to be the same ol same ol. I get it, its alpha, but I was expecting more game play changes for a new purchase. Glad to hear there is more classes incoming beyond gunslinger (2016?). I can't wait for different map makers.

Have you played above Hard difficulty? I had the same feeling at first, but progression wiped all such thoughts from my mind.

Medic pistol is a good pickup on most classes, but often just for Hans. Other than that and the dualies, I don't really ever get any offperk weapons. If I want to use different weapons I'll generally just play that perk.

The main problem is Normal difficulty. Try starting on Hard, then moving up to Suicidal when you hit perk level 10-15. Enemies' attack patterns and spawn patterns change entirely in Suicidal and HoE, and the feel of each class becomes much more defined at perk level 10-15 or so.

Man I don't want to dogpile on you, but seriously, play at least at Hard. You gain like one level per Long game at least untill level 10. Enemies get some new attacks, and even more at Suicidal and HoE. I mean the fact that Clots (in 3 flavors this game) can grab and turn you makes cleaning trash a much more important thing than it even was in 1. Playing as Berserker alone means you get to experience a whole new world of blocking, parrying and going 1v1 against Scrakes and FPs and winning. Medics have finally gotten some new great weapons in form of the shotgun and the assault rifle, making them killing machines on par with other classes while allowing them to heal better then ever with the use of homing darts. Every class has their own grenades. There's a loving microwave gun.

I mean I understand why you can say that this is Killing Floor HD if you only play something like Commando or Support, cause that hasn't changed much. But this is a sequel through and through, not a port.


PS. I will still laugh at you though if you compare the XP system to "HIT 6000 HEADSHOTS ON JUMPING STALKERS WHILE ON FIRE TO LEVEL UP" bullshit that KF1 had and say "it's the same slow progression" cause that's just an outright lie.

That's because Welding in completely unnecessary until Suicidal/HOE?
I want to shoot anyone I see welding on Normal/Hard.

Also play on Suicidal if you want to see new poo poo, like dodging and rolling clots, Husks charging you, using their flamethrower or going suicidal bomber on your butt.
The game plays so much differently at higher levels.
Also Normal is dull as gently caress beyond just getting the basics under your belt, which to be frank you haven't done yet.

Also try a different perk than Demo, since it's a work in progress right now. Learn the joy of firebug!!! FIRE FIRE FIRE!

KF2 is amazing for a half finished game.

I just figured normal should be at least fun. Welding as a mechanic should have some use but it just seems cumbersome.

Welding is a joke in KF2 compared to KF1, the deteriorating door mechanic didn't exist in KF1. So a leveled support could keep a door locked down for awhile.

Demo pistol sucks rear end, whenever I play as demo I use the regular pistol/medic pistol as much as possible and avoid buying ammo for the demo pistol, my goal is to live off of pistols + grenades until I can afford the grenade launcher.

The double-barreled shotgun is pretty solid as a panic button. The altfire will kill most things except scrakes/fleshpounds and can knock over crowds to give you some breathing room.


If you want to play a perk that's much different/better than it was in KF1, play firebug. Their guns own, their perks own, and the microwave gun is incredible.

Normal is basically for folks that dont know how to shot guns.
It sucks because everyone is a pub that is not healing their team mates, trying to solo or welding doors for no loving reason. Then they run away the moment a Skrake shows up. Which is hilarious because everything is easy to kill in Normal.
Its really hard to die on Normal, which makes it boring IMHO

As a side note, Husks do the suicide charge on Normal and Hard too. Shoot at them with your pistol for a bit to trigger it, I think it's an HP threshold thing on earlier difficulties. Normal's funny for gimmicks and screwing with pubbies who freak out at the Commando running off alone with just a knife though.
