Godspeed, with my HDD dead my desktop or s out of commission for who knows how long. Enjoy it, I'll have to live vicariously through the thread.

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.

This gave me pause. On my first day in the UK, I gave several bystanders an aneurysm by getting on the bus while they were arguing over who's letting who go first. If my blitzkrieg vacation there is any indication, the majority of people would just gasp (almost imperceptibly) and try to avoid eye contact if zeds really invaded the UK, because these buggers are just rude.

Call Out is really useful actually since as the waves get on, the Stalkers attack in bigger and bigger groups. I've never had anyone complain about me bringing it.

It has 48 rounds, exactly the same as the pump and double-barrel.

Maybe it wasn't the server that had deliberately bugged lines the other day. I played another game that had them. This time I heard ones like "They dropped the package!" "Package is secure!" "The package is taking damage!" and "Timberrrr!"

So I guess we're getting some kind of game mode like Counterstrike's bomb defusal and the Fire Axe is coming back for sure.

I'll aim the double barrel at a big crowd of enemies, pull the trigger twice, and go "oh, huh" where I'm expecting a nice HELLYEAH feeling.

How the hell were you supposed to figure that out mid-game, let alone get to them?

Seriously, it seems he decided to freak the gently caress out over nothing at all. Who cares about realism, even then there's a sense of verosimilitude - wouldn't it be weird for a six-chamber revolver to fire 30 bullets in full auto fire in the span of 10 seconds? Well yes, it'd be. So you just change the model to a full auto pistol instead of a six chamber revolver. Faustian is just mentioning that, if you put another auto/semi-auto shotgun in the game, and whose role is to do more damage but have a smaller magazine than the AA12, a Saiga would make sense because of how it looks and works, if you were to create such a weapon role to fill the "doesn't quite do anything" void in which the M4 dwells.

If I know gently caress all about guns (and I know really little about them because guns are boring), and I buy an AA12 and a Saiga in the game, I will immediately realize that both have magazines (and even if I don't, I'm just a Mouse 1 + R from learning it), the store will tell me which one does more damage, and the fact the Saiga has a more conventional magazine instead of big gently caress-off drum means I can give myself an idea of what's the tradeoff. There isn't anything wrong in just fixing the M4 numbers-wise, so whatever.

I mean, there are some weird opinions in this thread but this one isn't even spergy.

what if the patriarch came out and it was hitler? like, not robot future hitler or anything, but just 1944 adolf hitler in his dress uniform.

Literal Nazi Furry posted:

it really just makes me wonder what the class bonuses are gonna be like to compensate for the low damage weapons. I have a feeling that might be what makes the class interesting.

plus the medic smg is fun and a class based around making weapons like that viable on their own is something I can get onboard with

You realize this makes the capstone skills look even more like a bad design decision, right?

Coolguye posted:

ZED was a stylistic decision but it became a mechanical consideration in KF1; a fair bit of handling Fleshpounds in Hell on Earth in KF1 was kiting them along with their trash buddies until the Commando got a ZED because that made it a huge amount easier for the Supports/Demolitions guys to dump on the Fleshpound before he got up in their business. Of course, FPs in KF2 will enrage of their own volition, so that doesn't work the same way. It matters a lot less with the inclusion of parry mechanics though, not to mention some more fleshed out stun mechanics.

Making ZED an activated thing is sort of the logical evolution of the mechanic, though I tend to agree that if they haven't at least talked about making that change at this point it's really unlikely that they will.

I think the C4 and M79 should switch tiers, and C4 should either do a lot more damage or come with more charges. It just seems out of place in tier 2.

I maxed at Commando in ye olden days when you had a to pick between a damage bonus when you're using single fire or when you're using auto fire. As of now, I'm using fast reloads and the pistol/weapon switching perk, and opting for bigger magazine sizes over stumbling zeds. Commando is really refreshing after playing SWAT for a while because you just feel powerful one-shotting stuff that often took two as SWAT.
