Currently the games Co-op for 6 people. Guys and I love to play it and enjoy it each time an update comes out for it. But with the dying of call of duty with IW screwing the entire pc community with an accounement of no dedicated servers with 3 weeks to release to go the masses of people are going to need an alternative to go to. I think that this game would be great to add on a bigger multiplayer platform in a military fashion while keeping with the co-op game play. Alot of us im guessing the 165000 + people that signed an online petition will be looking for an alternative and I think this company with this game could capitalize on that. Theres nothing really out there now that comapres, its either only co-op style or its a FPS with maps that are waaaaaaaaaaaay to big. I think this game could come up with some TDM,DM,CTF style game modes easily and be able to cater to the massive amount of people who will be searching for something new.


Thanks and love the game the way it is just trying to float something to the powers to be that might be able to take advantage of a massive amount of people looking for an outlet.

Advertising, u're doin' it wrong, unfortunately...

Why ppl need dedicate sv for call of duty? Those are ppl who really enjoy serious competition, and they need a clan sv with fixed high-skilled players to train themselves. What they want is a PvP game, not this kind of co-op. That's why kf will not appeal to them. HoS may be, but definitely not KF.

Not sure what you think im "Advertising" I was putting something out there in the Ideas section ? I really dont get that statement, love kf, we have had a server going for quite awhile and we support the game and the community and im not a developer so I really dont know how "easily" it could be done but putting a bigger mp platform in place, how could that do anything but make the dev team and the publisher money ?

Killing Floor is, and has been for 4 years now, a Co-Op Surival Horror game. Shifting the game to competitive deathmatch to make a quick buck off of people looking for an alternative to CoD would be a sell-out move and would alienate a lot of the core fanbase that has gathered to get a break from the typical multiplayer experience.

And as someone already mentioned, Tripwire already has competitive multiplayer in Red Orchestra. HoS would be a better game to look at for those folks rather than Killing Floor.

TDM or CTF in KF? No thanks. I like my Co-Op gameplay and that's why i bought the game. If i want PvP i play TF2.

Lots of people are blowing this "no dedicated servers" business way out of proportion.

Yes its a crappy move by IW, but no it's not killing PC gaming and displacing millions of people.

It'll blow over soon enough as everything else does, just watch.

In the meantime we'd be glad to take on those who want something new for sure, but KF isn't CS or CoD.

My own personal hell
There are tons of games out there much more suited for PvP play and most already have all of the gametypes mentioned above. Realistic (RO and Arma) or not(TF2) and Painkiller or UT3.

Not millions of people but it will displace about a 1/4 mil Medal of Honor Allied Assault back in the day was the WWII or military game of its time and Airborne pretty much killed it and we moved on from there to COD when it came out.

ArmaII took a look at that game already and the maps are way to big like Battlefield series type game ... most of what MOHAA to COD was smaller more close combat games, never could get into the BF series myself. And as far as unreal tournament man I would get my *** handed to me in that game, I been at this a long time but theres some serious talent in that game.

Some good comments here though, definatly gave me some prespective on alternatives out there.

There's already a mod for TDM (players vs. specs) and there's the Defense Alliance 2 Mod (coming soon.)

But I really enjoy not having to deal with the bunny-hopping, nasally 15-year-old PvP junkies that make up a lot of CoD's fan base. KF has its own special brand of team work (much like L4D) and I'd hate to see TWI have to split their time between enhancing the co-op side, and satisfying preferring MP pvp. KF would start to seem like a bastardized version of CoD 5: WAW and Nazi Zombies.

To me, KF's emphasis on co-op is what sets it apart. Add in TDM, CTF and all that crap, and KF starts to look a lot like every other FPS on the market. It might be good financially for TWI...but it would kill the soul of this game, for me.

Kinda what is happening for alot of clans that wont be able to rent a server for COD MW2 ... as far as WaW I cant even really play that game anymore .... and 15 years olds causing havok ... theres not a ton of them but I do understand what you mean there except for the bunny hopping part...you cant bunny hop in that game whatsoever ... u can jump once to avoid an oncoming attack but jumping up and down like u can in KF is impossible in that game.

I would love some different gametypes and gamemodes though just for some variation. They could probably be filtered out anyway.

On my wishlist nr1 would probably be objective pve based co-op play. Rather than waiting out the zombie count, having to do certain things to stop them from coming. So having to achieve something beside only killing them.

Some player vs player modes could be nice as well, but i would prefer game modes that were well thought out to work with say current maps and truly offering a different experience. If anything i would prefer kf to stay team based no mater the gameplay mode.
