Lets start off like this,
I've had Killing Floor since June 2009, so yes I was here before all the updates and free weekends and shizz, as well as being a old player of the mod as well.
Now, coming from a player of the mod, this game doesn't necessarily carry the same essence of horror that was found in the mod in my opinion. It is still a great game however, and it's a wonderful success story that Tripwire has made with the game, kudos to that.
However, on a certain game in KF-Filthscross, a rather unexpected turn of events happened...
6 man player game on KF-Filthscross, I kindly ask someone for a weapon as they respond "no". It was the 8th round on Normal (yes, I used to play on Hard/Suicidal, but I took a break from the game picking it back up in March, so cut me some slack).
We had stuck together. All of us. However, 5 of us failed and ended up having our characters on the floor. Either that or blown up. Regardless, they were dead.
A horde of specimens coming after me, I look at my partner's corpse and he has a hunting shotgun next to him. I pick it up, and I fire constantly at the crowd of specimens (yeah, I know a shotgun without penetration isn't very effective but it was the best thing I saw in sight, and keep in mind I had no grenades left or 9mm ammo).
So far so good, I had just killed 20 specimens and had about 30 to go.
But...
A scrake showed up. Now, I know that Scrakes are easy to deal with as a Commando. But again, a Hunting Shotgun with 0 penetration. Yeah.
The scrake bumrushed me and started to slice me down to bits, but then I discovered how effective the Hunting Shotgun REALLY was; one alt-fire and he's down.
However, there were still a crapload of other specimens so that put a lot of pressure upon me.
Down to the last 3 specimens, and my my, what a suprise.
A Scrake comes up the stairs. I figured, sure, only one scra-- TWO?! Lets try not to hit the one behind him.
And even more suprising, ANOTHER one showed up! That's 3 Scrakes to deal with, what to do?
I get up close to one at the point where he begins hacking at me with his chainsaw. I altfire, aiming STRAIGHT at his head. 12 shells left for my hunting shotgun, and lordy he is still living.
He ends up enraged and chases my *** all the way to the top of the stairs. I shoot at him one more time and he falls.
Unluckily, I hit the other Scrake doing it as he comes after me, and thank god for the Commando sped-up reload. In just the right time, I fire point blank into the Scrake's head, as he tumbles and falls down the stairs.
Now one more of these bad boys. Hang on, reload-- HE'S ENRAGED. It was a battle against time, I had 42 HP left as he races to finish me, however I move back as he swings at me with his chainsaw and I dodged, somehow. The Scrake's chainsaw BARELY missed me. Then I alt-fire once more as he falls to his death.
That last bit of experience had me at the edge of my seat. Thanks to Tripwire for making this masterpiece of entertainment.
