Storyline
Psst Ronco. It's Killing Floor. There's no storyline.
There's bios for people who get bored of shooting zombies want to read before going back to shooting zombies.
And there's a little from mod days if you wanna get technical...
Since Tripwire has taken the game over it has had a storyline. Their official site has had it on it since 2009. Check it out here

Because it is non-linear gameplay though it comes through as more of a theme in some of the maps.
Core-maps Offices and Biotics lab
Summer 09 map Wyre (Secret Horzine Research facility)
From the Grindhouse comp came Hospital (supposedly by the Offices) Also Biohazard if you look around in it, it is a Horzine facility also.
2010 It took a tangent with the Santa thing
Santas evil lair and Icecave
2012 Moonbase I guess Evil Santa escaped there after his Icecave was destroyed. Who knows. Its a good map and who doesn't like low-grav every once in a while.
So far most of the holiday events have stuck within the theme of the holidays or the maps could of been in the London area.
For me personally the Hell map just don't cut it and like I said before for my beliefs I don't like the upside down cross thing. I think it is disrespectful on Christmas. Some people may like that I don't. Just my opinion as many people like the map. Also wouldn't this have been more of a Halloween map, then I could of understood a Hell map. The map story could have been a portal opened and you have to fight your way out of Hell. The map is too bright all orange and don't seem gloomy enough like all the other maps. More lava type fire pits with a lower overhead lighting would have been better IMO.
Forgotten on the other hand fits right in. All cities have sewers. The only problem I have had is that when you get a good team together. It seems kind of easy, you don't find your self getting over whelmed and swarmed that much. Especially if you are on the yellow platform by the big statue and trader. Maybe it's best at harder levels I'll have to try. Also the map seems like it would be better suited for a 32-64 player Death-match type game.
Tripwire is a great company that provides unprecedented support and follow up on their games. I love the fact that they keep adding DLCs and updates on a game I've been able to play for so long. That's why I have 2 public and 1 private dedicated servers. I also have a RO2/RS Dedicated server. Thats another game that is like a gift that keeps giving and probably the best tactical fps out there IMO. I just think they could have chose a better suited map from the community for this holiday event.
Almost forgot thanks Tripwire for my new Harchier Character. I've been haunted by his locked character for years even though I bought it right after release. From now on you will have my preorder on your games.
