MadBimber posted:tripwire now that mad max is out I need harpoon guns. good on you for the flamethrower Well they did have the Harpoon Bomb gun in the first game, maybe it'll be one of Demolition's weapons(it or the Seeker Six Rocket Launcher would probably make for a good Starting weapon for the class, as they'd probably be easier to tweak for Wave 1 balance than if they made the M-79 the starting weapon for the class, assuming they don't decide to be boring and give it a rifle with an underslung launcher as the starting weapon, or come up with something completely new instead), also I'm not the only one who wouldn't be surprised if they made Pipe Bombs into Demolition's special grenade type right?

FaustianQ posted:The problem with a Saiga and M4 being available to the Support is that they occupy the same space in a sense (semiauto shotgun), and in most cases the Saiga will be doing the M4s job better. I mean maybe you could cripple the hell out of the M4, drop the weight and price point a ton and it might work with the Saiga as the better but costlier, heavier semiauto which competes with the AA12. the Firebug's default gun is probably going to be either the Flare Gun or the MAC-10(assuming that goes to one of it's old KF1 guns and not the Caulk N Burn that is), while it's melee is probably going to be the Fire Ax, and it's grenade is going to be an Incendiary Grenade(although I'd much rather it be a Molotov Cocktail as those look cooler)

I don't personally have to like the Saiga to actually note how it's functionally different compared to the M4 (magazine fed as opposed to tube fed), and how it's quite different from the M500, and how the similarity in feed between the M4 and M500 is a complaint. Go be mad at something real. Flamethrower is probably going to be either the Firebug's equivalent to the Hunting Shotgun or to the M4, also hopefully they'll keep the Husk Gun as the highest tier Firebug gun, but make it better than it was in KF1(cause while it was pretty decent, I found the Flamethrower with a Flare Gun in reserve to be more useful overall, especially since the Flamethrower is amazingly cheap for it's trash destroying ability)

Why, it even weighs 8, the same as the M4 I'll admit I have yet to actually play KF2(laptop ain't strong enough to run it, at least going off the Systems Requirement Labs site's recommendations) so I had forgotten how expensive the Flamethrower is also I'd say the odds are pretty good that Firebug will be one of if not the first class added once they start putting more of them in(since it already has one of it's weapons in the game, and it's definitely one of the classes that will probably need a lot EAS testing to get it properly balanced) along with Martial Artist(which also already has a weapon in the game, and they can't really fully balance the Berserker until both Melee classes are in the game to balance them out between each other) and lastly it'd be really fun once all the classes are in the game to see how well a team with one of each class in it would do on the higher difficulties

Alkydere posted:I honestly wonder what the Gunslinger's tier 1 weapon will be. Will they just give him the 9mm and apply the buffs, or a unique version with a longer mag or is dual-wielded? I mean they can't give him both a normal 9mm and a dual 9mm since that would be silly. You end up with two (well, three) weapons that share the same ammo but have separate ammo pools, or you end up with an inferior "why am I even using this?" version of the weapon with the same ammo pool. I figure the Tier 1 gun will be the Revolver, Tier 2 some sort of machine pistol(like transplant the MAC-10 over to them), and Tier 3 & 4 will be some sort of Stupidly Huge Pistol meant for killing bears & rhinos and a gimmicky Horzine pistol of some sort(which tier each would be in is another thing entirely) Come to think about it, what sort of Melee weapon and Grenade would the Gunslinger have anyways?

Skoll posted:They want to make people more dependent on pistols to start out, and then have them gradually upgrade their gear with the waves. They want T4 weapons like the SCAR, etc to be situational only (which imo sucks). The ammo nerfs basically make it to where you shouldn't even bother with an AK ( and I won't especially now considering I use the Single Shot perk and AK only has burst and full auto ), so I'm stuck using the Bullpup for the majority of the game like it's KF 1 again. I'm of the opinion that "Challenge" in a video game should be an extremely distant second place to Fun, and these changes don't sound fun at all, heck it sounds like even Normal would be too annoying to play as it currently is

Alkydere posted:Deadspace 1 was spooky? I just remember DS1 being "jumpscare theater". 2 was the one where they got some writers who could do more than just body horror and jump scares. admittedly DS1 was mostly spooky due to it's ambient soundtrack, which would wear at my nerves after a half hour or so and make me a nervous wreck also some people might crucify me for this, but I think the game would be better if Camping were actually a consistently viable tactic(at least until Scrakes and Fleshpounds start showing up), or at least get rid of teleporting completely for Zeds(unless they get stuck or there's only like 1-5 Zeds left and some of them are on the other side of the map, and even then they should be ported a reasonable distance away from anyone, and behind any doors that might be welded), it makes Welding completely pointless(I'm also of the opinion that making doors permanently breakable is also a terrible idea)

I mean "yet another shotgun" is kinda silly but the demo desperately needs a trash killer for those moments between "Yay! Fleshpound! Hello juicy experience!" and "Hello giant horde!", but the cluster pistol doesn't really fill that role, at least not very well. really if Demo needs a Trash removal weapon they should bring back either the Harpoon Launcher, or the Seeker Six Rocket Launcher, both are pretty good at that task since they both have large ammo pools

Alkydere posted:Oh yeah, but in KF1 you were likely to get good weapons. Nothing extreme, but the LAR or hand cannon was the equivalent of a T2 or T3 weapon and incredibly solid even if it was off perk. Here though we get varmint rifles, heavy pump actions or krovels. Other kits starting gear. The LAR was only starting gear in KF1 after you ground out a few levels. I'll admit I'm starting to really dislike a lot of aspects of Tripwire's "Vision" for KF2, admittedly that's from an outsider's perspective(only way I'm playing this game outside of an Internet Cafe, is either me getting a proper gaming computer, or getting a PS4 and waiting for the console release) Psion posted:I never played KF1 but I like the idea of rockets and harpoons, so, yes next time it's on sale you should grab it, if only to mess around with some of it's stuff(would love it if the KF2 Goon group did the occasional KF1 event so I could play with you guys), also while they aren't the most efficient weapons(especially above Beginner which is my preferred difficulty in KF1 for multiple reasons) both the Harpoon Gun, and the Seeker Six Rocket Launcher are pretty fun to use(especially since the S6 has a secondary fire function that shoots it's entire clip at once, which is very useful at times) Skoll posted:You poor man.

Perestroika posted:Honestly, the Commando's weapons could do with a bit more diversification all around. Right now they're pretty much just straight upgrades that all fulfill pretty much exactly the same role and never really give you any incentive or opportunity to mix up your playstyle at all. All other classes seem to have at least one weapon that at least somewhat breaks the mold and switches things up, and it's probably most visible with the demo and firebug now. if it weren't for the fact that it's likely to be part of the SWAT perk I'd say give them a Gatling Gun, or maybe even a fancy prototype Metal Storm gun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFjGbOyd2ek widespread posted:Better idea: Give Commando the M4 M203. I mean, why not at this point. that's also a good idea, although the grenades would need to be weakened a bit to avoid stepping on the Demo's feet too much(maybe make so it does relatively low damage for a grenade, but it'll stun and/or knockback just about anything within it's explosion radius, making Zeds into perfect targets to be torn apart by your own bullets, as well as your teammates' shots)

"worry" is that they will end up ala Medic SMG and need multiple headshots to kill trash to make up for large clips or something. That and I'm praying for a real trash clearing grenade instead of the Zerker grenade's brother with a Flashbang. Canceling rages is great and all but I want trash to actually DIE when hit by the boom, not see a dozen clots wandering around electrified and mildly annoyed where literally every other grenade would have killed them outright.

The Jumpoff posted:Sounds like a Sharpshooter T4 weapon to me. that reminds me, if we get the M99 again, it better be priced at a level that actually makes sense, cause that gun is stupidly expensive(both for the gun itself and it's ammo), and was way too heavy to be practical as well Skoll posted:The ammo pool for that minigun would have to be insane. I figure it'd have somewhere between 500 to 1000 rounds(obviously it'd have a lower fire rate than a real minigun would so it wouldn't use all it's ammo in 5 seconds), it'd be one of those cases where the gun is both really expensive(like at least half again whatever the current priciest weapon is, maybe even twice as much), and really heavy(like you'd have only 2-3 free weight left after taking it), also it'd slow you down a lot(so there's a bit of risk to using this thing)

It's highly recommended to verify your game cache in Steam. Right-click on KF2 in Steam Library > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity unfortunately I've already done that and it says that everything's fine, so am I boned, cause I would really not like to have to delete everything and redownload it, cause that took forever(internet's been kinda spotty here today)

Skoll posted:Have any of you actually even seen a Gyrojet fired? It's not a loving explosive. It's literally just a rocket propelled bullet that's awkward to handle and reload aim. Rounds for it today are about $50 bucks a pop as well, assuming you can find any. There's even a carbine version of it, but it was such an impractical weapon that there is seriously little wonder it never caught on. I think there may have been just one in Vietnam and I doubt it was used in combat. The real reason the Gyrojet failed had more to do with shoddy manufacturing than anything, properly made rounds were actually really effective(well assuming it's not a point blank shot, Gyrojets still have issues at ranges before the rocket fully ignites), most rounds that were manufactured tended to be flawed in some manner or another though, often leading to rounds underperforming
