WWAUT - Going forever, and ever, and ever..you get the picture

[Yoshiro]

Hello everyone,

Today we want to introduce you to both upcoming maps that will be joining the Killing Floor 2 lineup.

For those who enjoy Holdout style maps, Powercore (created by community mapper Motormouth) should be right up your ally! This subterranean facility has had a few lives, and seen some better days. Now, it will be your job to find out just who is in charge of its most recent revival, and why it is full of Zeds.

And the Patriarch himself has a new offering to present: DieSector. This arena was created for him to test out his latest and greatest creations, and you've somehow found yourself right in the middle of it.

It is here that he intends to endlessly subject you to the horde until you succumb. And yes, we do mean endlessly, but only if you can survive of course.

So here is how it will all work. Endless is a brand new gamemode that will be selectable for all existing maps (with the exception of holdout style maps), with the difficulty ramping up as the waves grow in number. DieSector is an arena map built to work together with this mode, opening up the playspace as the waves increase. And did we mention that the Patriarch will be taunting you along the way.

Hmm, Powercore. kinda looks like Husk Factory, which was a decently designed but a bit too cramped map. though i never played on powercore, im interested in seeing how this turns out.

DieSector is such a cheesy name it makes sense Pats came up with it. And i bet this is where Pats shops at

Still, new stock maps are always good and having 2 new ones is what the game needs right now.

Also has the Hold your ground feature been retroactively added onto the rest of the game's stock maps yet?

 

[qu3x^]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

sounds nice, I like the newly added props that make look like ZED shooting bill boards or target practicing

 

[Veny]

Awesome, cant wait to see weapons.
Could you tell some word about prestige (whether it will/will not happen, being cosmetic/with impact on perk performance, poll results etc.)

 

[Lorkenpeist]

Aww yeah I'm going to see how many hundreds of waves I can survive as a level 25 zerk on Normal! Seriously though, i am looking forward to endless mode and I hope there will be achievements for certain milestones, as well as perhaps some bonus vault dosh.

I really like Powercore Holdout version but it was horribly optimized in some areas :\ Hope it is all sorted out now.

 

[Eight Foot Robot]

Upon second examination, powercore is a holdout map. i honestly hope the mappers dont make them too cramped. which is a constant problem with that gamemode.
like in Nightmare, less like the stalingrad looking trench zone and more like the circus zone which has room to maneuver.

 

[®omano]

There are two version, the not holdout one which won the grind house map contest, and the holdout style one which is based on the wining map from contest.
Both are still on workshop:

Cheeky Pat is great. Holdout maps - meh, endless - meh, it's a cod zambies thing

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH ROOOOOOOY

**** looks lit
les go TWI

Whoohoo Holdout Powercore is my favorite map of all time, but I never expected to see it officially accepted to the game! Reeks with atmosphere, and brutal gameplay to match. Only problem was the framerate, but I'm sure that will be figured out.

Most of the rooms in that map are pretty big. Spawns are really, really high though.

Never played those maps ~~~ Guess it will make for a nice surprise!

Makes sense to have an arena-type map for an endless mod ! I do hope it will be available for every map though (why not?) . A bit bummed that we're seeing yet again the concept of "evil genius' lab" but I guess it's part of Killing Floor's essence. Anyway, it's quite good that we have FOUR types of maps now, but it will be difficult to balance them all out in future updates eh?

Powercore reminds me a bit of multiple KF1 maps : foundry,husk-factory and biohazard. I guess it's, once again, the very "industrial" tone of it! Why not, I hope it will be pretty cool.

Patriarch's quotes are so cheesy it's glorious! That's why he'll forever be THE boss of the game ;-) ... I do hope we'll have a future map with Hans though!

And finally... Hyped as hell for next week yeeeeeeeeee

Another Holdout map? Please no more of these maps! Me and many other player prefers the decent sized normal maps. Holdout maps are just too small, so i wish we could get more of the normal maps like Burning Paris or the Infernal Realm.

Some people prefer Holdout maps to normal maps.

I like what they're doing with this update, releasing both types of maps so that both types of players can be happy.

So they should release updates only to please people like you? 'please no more of these maps' => ho yeah we got so much holdout maps!!! (hu wait... ho yeah one holdout map!).

 

[Dr. Lethal]

So we finally get an arena style map. Awesome.
