Funny You mentioned that, I actually like it....It gives You a feeling of "OH CR@P!!! where everyboby go"....just as a new Way is starting and then You have to fight Your way to the sound of Your Team mates guns firing.
I'm really enjoying it, But I also understand it's not everyones cup of tea.
Well Done TWI, You made a great, Fun and entertaining Game

After a couple of hours getting a better feel for the weapons and getting to grips with the game physics I'm having a LOT of fun in there. I'm going to stick to Beginner and Normal level for a while to build up a few perks otherwise I'll be eaten up too quickly.
In some ways I feel like I've stepped back to the early 90s of uni Doom sessions but with all the sophistication of a quality engine build and the extra addons.

Took me a while to get a game last night, just when I was ready to give up our own Gameserver came live so I kicked people off it and locked it down.
First impressions were that beginner was way to easy for me and my buddies, but it still put a maniacal glint in my eye playing the game. It's very satisfying indeed, I particularly enjoyed using the Chainsaw!
I've now upped our server difficulty to hard, and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
Great work on the art direction, and overall the sound is spot on (although it would have been nice to have different V command voices for each individual player).

We can patch in a length of rope tying you to everyone else by the waist, if you'd like
Haha, that reminded me of The Mist. Cool movie, but no zombies.

hmm love this game, it is awesome graphivs and core gameplay and maps and weapons are all GOD-LIKE!...but...the menus are ungly as ****, please patch this and make them more snazzy, it looks very amatuer ATM. the big red "incoming wave" notification needs a better font, or be smaller/removable, maybe have a sound play over the radio when a wave comes "**** weve got contact....", also please, pleas!,PLEASE! scrap the old UT04 server browser and replace it with the one similair to that in source and steamn as im having a aweful time finding servers, as the info is always wrong, and its buggy for me .
apart from the presentation its a nice tasty slice of zombie killing funj ;P

Well it's using the UT2k4 engine so what were you expecting the server browser to be like? It works fine.
I agree the incoming wave notification could be better though, I'd also like to see that removed for a more immersive audio cue like a report from HQ or something.

Some (non-flamming) comments to HUTCH
Other than some server browser issues, everything runs fine with me, and with Tripwire, you can be assured that any problems will be tended to. Also, remember that this game is running on a much older engine than you are apparently used to, so graphics will never be as high as say, L4D. Also, regular price $19.99 on sale for $14.99, keep that in mind.
1. Yeah, they could enlarge the menu area, the type is rather small. Has absolutely no bearing on playability.
2. Refer to opening statement
3. Undecided myself on ZED time. I seem to like it in Solo, but not sure for multiplayer. However, it isn't very intrusive in mp as I thought it might be.
4. VOIP, that is probably players not having their settings adjusted properly in game. I know from experience with RO, took me a few days to tweak my settings so people could understand me clearly. I put that down as a user issue. I can also read everyone's name just fine.
5. No crash problems for me, can't comment on yours other than just because some games don't crash for you doesn't necessarily mean it is always someone else's fault when a new game does. But it is a new game, and in the past few years, I have yet to buy a bugless game.
6. Refer to opening statement
7. Best of luck to your community, but to not give the game a chance based on one night with a new game, well, that is up to you. I can only say that had I had that attitude with RO (which had its share of bugs when first out), I would have missed out on what I call my favorite game of all time.
8. Something I am sure will be fixed.
9. Crosshairs, is a preference and I am immensely glad myself that they are not included. To me they are hokey and arcadey. Besides, most likely after playing a bit, you will get used to where you are shooting and won't need them.
Best of luck, and don't give up!
-------------------------
My own comments at this time, again I am impressed. I only played a few hours solo and multiplayer and the only issues I had was getting a very random number of servers showing up in the browser (from 1 to 147). I do enjoy the fact that the gameplay isn't so linear as L4D. (L4D isn't a bad game, I can enjoy it in small doses only because its linearity). For an older engine, I think the graphics really shine and look pretty good with the settings all maxed out.
Still, I need to play more to offer a better and full assessment of the game.

Just played for about 4 hours straight. This game is FUN. The levels look great. Normal mode is pretty challenging. I got welded out of a room once and was specimen food real quick. Great game, I didn't know what to expect when I bought this game but knew it was going to be good because tripwire had a hand in it.

Great fun! but not perfect
Great fun! but not perfect
Played for a few hours and was great fun, the game isn't perfect like a lot of people think it is tho. One major problem i've found is if you're out in the open running backwards fireing nothing is able to hit you the zombies and what not just run up take a swipe miss repeat, someone was able to win a wave solo because of it. Another big problem is zombies and specimens getting stuck in doorways. Voice acting is bad in parts and a bit to easy on anything under hard mode. Healing people also can be a problem as you have to be kissing them in order to do it effectively if they move an inch while ya do it ya fail.
asides from the first two complaints the rest are minor issuse, the gfx are plenty fine for the game so are the ironsights i actually love playing without xhairs now i've had the chance to try it.
Oh and your mapper is simply amazing!
Good job

Im one of these types of people that will always back the underdog. This is a team of modders and mappers that made KF what it is today. They offered their time, money and skill to produce something that was of no profit to them. Im a modder/mapper myself and i do it on Cod4 and Cod5 just because im interested to see what i can make but also cos i care about the community and i like to think im helping it forward in some way. Tripwire are not trying to make money and run, they are modders and mappers that will listen to our feedback as they were once the community that built this for no profit whatsoever.
It will be interesting to see but watch this space! Alot more to come!

Another thing to mention for you crazy guys out there that love abit of music whilst your playing is to turn the FX down and the voice down and the MUSIC RIGHT UP!!!!
Then go nuts with the chainsaw when the music drops! I just end up laughing!

The guns feel really really nice. I actually can't really remember a game where they felt this satisfying. Maybe Soldier of Fortune 1, all those years back...
Also, Hard is pretty Hard :s

I got warmed up by playing on a few easy servers and really enjoyed it then moved on to normal server which I wish more servers would be at.
I don't have a gaming computer anymore so I play at my office and after work got out I returned to the office around 7 got killing floor loaded up and played until 3 am the next day went to bed then I'm now back in the office.
My only gripe is there are a few clipping issues in KF-Manor where you can get stuck in rocks. Also there is a map glitch where you can get really up high and no ZED can kill you not even patarich, and this map glitch has been there since killing floor mod 2.0. I'm alittle surprised it actually got left in...

Just wasted 2.5h to play it with clanmates on our dedicated server. We set it to 600 speciman and dude...now thats ****loads of fun...also one of my "friends" welded me in resulting in me cursing him and his children.... ZET time is fine..it makes up for some really cool moments...have to play more with the diffrent classes through...The game itself feels more like Quake or Doom..i dont know..the music and the cheese are there ...

the graphics are amazing to me.... i've never had a top-end machine and this game runs perfect on my computer with stunning effects!
i love the ZED time, especially when someone else activates it and you can see why they activate it... you can be like "HOLY ****, NICE MAN!" plus it gives you a few seconds to breath and then set your aim and keep shotting..
ahh! can't wait to get home and play some more...

Fantastic game.
To hutch, if you believe the communtiy won't last how come Red Orchestra is still going?
Crosshairs shouldn't be introduced as TWI said we won't see them in their games which is a very big plus point for me, as it makes it feel less arcadey. As for graphics engine yes it's 5 years old, but wait Bioshock Used UT2.5 with some UT3 features and that looks better then Source engine.
My two must played games being (RO & IL2) have graphics engines off 5+ years old, and look fantastic, If you computer randomly crashes i'd check the drivers im running a (to me) a very high spec computer and no problems.
Just a question will we see any other RO map converisons? such as Danzig or Stalingrad Kessel? as Hedghog 'Farm' is fantastic and makes the map a lot more atmosphetic, as you know where some off the places already are. Now possible to get an Mp40?
Best of luck TWI
