Tripwire put up a Survey for the first update of the next year. Vote for the Fireax because I just realized that weapon has been missing from the UT2k4 mod and now the hole left by it is all I can see in the armory.

Oh, also preview of the Survivalist Freeze Gun and the MP5 coming at the end of the year update, I guess?

Voted for that tasty, tasty *mwah* Mac 10. As much as I love the M32, Demo can already magdump into crowds with the Seeker 6 and is completely capable of large crowd control, the while the fireax is nice, it's just a fire ax and shouldn't be a priority. Firebug, on the other hand, can't reliably set zeds on fire at long range without struggling with flare gun projectiles or spamming a shotgun with pretty significant spread. I just want to be able to pop a single bullet into a zed and have the Napalm skill cause mayhem.

I'd also be okay with a prestige system affecting gameplay as long as one of the rewards is increasing XP gain and they add in a higher difficulty since HoE is already just moderately challenging at max level and I can see it becoming pretty trivial if the rewards are too good.

I don't know why they want to return the "Mac-10 that shoots fire", they should make a new gun instead that does the same thing but actually makes sense. Also I voted for the grenade launcher because I super miss that, though the fireaxe should also be brought back because why the hell not?

An even larger but automatic Spitfire. Like think a Gatling gun, that fires Spitfire or a Devils breath like shot.

Or a goo gun of napalm.

I haven't seen this bug for a couple months, but used to be pretty consistently able to hit Hans with RPG-7 rockets to send him out of bounds and kill him instantly, sometimes even on maps like Containment Station where you normally can't go out of bounds, he just falls through the floor. I think it has something to do with him getting a large physics impulse at the exact moment he falls.

Looking back at the video, for a few frames I can see Hans getting launched into the air. I can't say for certain, but it seems constant that if a Zed ragdolls but is still alive and they've been falling for a given amount of time, they'll instantly die. I see this happen a lot to Scrakes and Bloats after they've been launched by explosives. So it seems like not even bosses are excluded from this.

For any of you STALKERs out there I just bumped into a server that had the entirety of the first level from Shadow of Chernobyl playable and to-scale. It's a pretty impressive piece of work:



It plays quite a bit differently from a normal KF2 map because it's so open, it's a bit like Farm or Mountain Pass from the first game. Definitely worth checking out, named KF-Stalker-Cordon, I believe.

If nothing else, it's an impressive piece of work. The details are pretty much spot on (no anomalies though) and it's something like 1.5km long.

No, the traders can be... a long walk, I admit. After wave 2 I just sorta started walking backwards to the next trader as soon as the round started, and usually that worked pretty well.

At least the mapmaker seems to have somewhat acknowledged this, ammo boxes are not scarce so if you don't make it, at least you won't be starved of ammo.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

:stare: ... So you can start heading the right way before the round ends. Depending on the map and where your team is holed up it can be a big deal.

Sooooo the bosses for the Inflation weekly are completely broken bullshit even with a team of 25s on Hard. I kept rolling KFP and eventually had to go Parry Berserker and just let him trap me in a corner while I parried and hit him with heavy Pulverizer rounds while the rest of the team focused him down. Tried something similar with the Pat and got exactly nowhere, we couldn't even get his health bar to move. They could cut this regen in half and it would still be a challenge, as it is now you pretty much have to stack Demo and Zerk and pray for KFP :smith:

I just finished it with Hans, and it was the longest boss fight I've ever had. We lost 1 man out of the 6, but it was just a war of attrition as we led him to different areas with more ammo boxes.

Yes.

When this weekly first came out I thought it was the worst weekly yet. Now that every weekly has come to pass, I can say it's the worst weekly full stop. King Fleshpound is nearly impossible. Hans is very difficult but doable since he keeps running into you instead of away. Kevin is the second hardest but still possible if you can block him from running away. We did it then and we did it now with a team of full Sharpshooters.

The weekly is just badly made. It's awful because Hard gives you no money to work with (which each player swapping to Sharpshooter, we could only afford a railgun a person and a medic pistol after pooling our money together), it's awful because the boss regens their health, it's awful because the boss gets more damage resistant the closer they are to dying, and it's awful because the most impossible thing is the boss yet you need to trudge through seven entire waves just to get that far.

In other words, it's pretty not fun and if any tryhards say it's challenging, slap them and tell them that health regen and damage resistance doesn't make a boss challenging, it makes a boss a bullet sponge.
