That's cute. I'm still trying to decipher if you're serious or not. My son, my experience ranges from every variance of the game, from one man beginner to six man hoe. I've played hundreds upon hundreds of HOE games, and I know exactly what I'm talking about.
You don't *HAVE* to stockpile, I said it's a *crucial strategy*. One that I find very practical and one that I deploy as a backup for many instances. These instances, mind you, are more than often noobs joining, latency complications, and team members failing to suffice in their roles. That being said, I have never made any allusion to stockpiling being vital among organized games or solo games, which are much facilitated by the competency of decent players or the lack of challenge when by oneself. In a utopian game of KF, one needn't worry about these challenges. But, as I have established previously, reality doesn't unfold so agreeably. As a man who actually has universal experience with both HOE organized games and public games, stockpiling can be the most important strategy to save oneself when all else fails.
This is irrefutable. I am more conscientious about my ammo conservation than 99% of the community in this game, so do not be so rash in judgement. When the rest of one's team goes up in a shower of haphazardly thrown grenades, when three noobs join ten seconds before the round begins, when team killers or trolls delight in their pleasures halfway through a round (yes, I'm not a little punk that can't handle HOE without FF), or when your reliable teammate's laptop battery ****s on itself, you're left with a considerable number of zombies. Period. A bullet is a bullet, and once used will only do so much against so many specimens.
Everything is circumstantial. Your high praise of the 9mm and knife are very agreeable, but how much will they help you when you have nowhere to run and you're backed up against a musty wall. You, my fantastically imprudent friend, speak of "perfect world" scenarios, ones that often do not assume precedence in Killing Floor. I challenge you to meet your accusations as well as your bold claims. Play a few HOE games with me, maybe then you will learn to restrain the preposterous extravagance of your tongue.
