Moment of fun for me:

Not having to earn perk 6 on Commando and SS.


I got them both to 5 before the AK/SCAR/M14 came out. When perk 6 became available I had so many saved up kills that I instantly leveled.

I'm already at "7" on a couple. :p

Back at the internet cafe, before the Free Weekend, before the updates, It was a difficult game with just my other friend sitting beside me. The challenge slowly wore off, but we still needed our wits about us to survive...






Beginner :D

Starting my first game on a 24 man server playing Prison. Everybody was perk zero so we had to rely on 9mm and LAR's, yet from the sound it seemed that we where going full auto.

Our clan played a lot of Prison, and I settled on commando pretty early. Sitting on the balcony with one of my mates and his shotgun, another with a crossbow standing behind us, and our medic constantly healing our berserker darting in and out of the horde of zeds approaching. Great times, glorius teamwork.

I laughed at how Scrakes flew over 100 meters when you shot them at point-blank range with Hunting Shotgun. I think it happened in the initial Steam release version. Funny times.

my fondest memory of KF, hands down was when the spawning on Manor was a bit fishy,

wave 6: oh a Scrake, no problem, (alt saw till dead) oh wait another, oh wait another, oh wait another, son of a.... whats going on!!?? another and another and another.....

Was yelling in the mic non stop, was funny as hell, and that was just wave 6, wave 7 rolled around: Oh a fleshpound, no problem (Main saw attack to insta decap) oh wait another, oh wait another, WTF!!!!!????

Course our whole team whipped and I needed to head to the store to get a clean set of drawls, :p

Back when i thought the LAW was the biggest and baddest weapon amongst all the others.

Used to buy that whenever i could, had a lot more deaths with that than any other zed, the patriatch included.

Don't be stupid. The LAW has ALWAYS been the biggest, baddest, manliest mother****er of a weapon in KF since ever.

I remember kiting fleshpounds just pumping a couple of shots into them and then waiting a few seconds.

Yeah, medic could kite them around all day for a while before they added timer rage.

Oh yeah I remember that one. We had like 20+ skrakes onscreen at one time. It's rare opportunity to laugh at your own panic while it's still in progress. Usually you calm down and laugh after the fact.

Dude, where IS prison these days?

Did it get dewhitelisted or something? I never see it anymore.

i remember one of my first times playing on westlondon, back when the gate glitch was there and everyone always went on there. i joined on patty wave, bought a law, and remember everyone cracking up when we're sitting up there and patty is sprinting back and forth on the ground. that is the moment i got the "The law that broke the camels back" achievement. :p one of my first achievements i got.

Moment of fun for me:

Not having to earn perk 6 on Commando and SS.


I got them both to 5 before the AK/SCAR/M14 came out. When perk 6 became available I had so many saved up kills that I instantly leveled

i remember when lvl 6's came out, only one of my perks didnt auto-level to lvl 6, and that was firebug. it sat at 5.4/5.5 :p

my fondest memory of KF, hands down was when the spawning on Manor was a bit fishy,

wave 6: oh a Scrake, no problem, (alt saw till dead) oh wait another, oh wait another, oh wait another, son of a.... whats going on!!?? another and another and another.....

this was awesome. if anyone remembers that one glitch on manor, in the basement, where u walk through the wall and hid behind the fence. only can damage from bloat and siren. that was an awesome spot until there came 30 sirens :p.

That would have been epic. I wish I could have been there :D

This reminds me plenty of all those times trying poundamonium with but a pistol! It was always an adrenilined-pumping scare as you saw a good 20 of them slowly walking towards you.

The remember the old West London exploit with that huge sliding gate. If you let it close on you, it would push you up on top of it (I think now it pushes you aside?). From there you could make your way on top of the truck next to the spawn point right there and only Bloats and Sirens could reach you. I think you were even immune to Pat's damage, but I forget.

Also? I remember when people were saying that the Hunting Shotgun is way too powerful. These days it's like most people forget that it exists.

Yes, I remember that exploit.

But my favorite exploit of all time was the rather more recent one on manor, and that JUST because it was so fun to explore, and there were so many fun experiments. For example, when it was fixed, I was in the process of trying firsthand to get the patty to fall off the edge of the map.

But I had been stuck in the preliminary research involving basic specimen falling off. (I always wondered if they would die, or just roam about underground)

I remember also discovering how to fly like crawlers onto the boat shack, and I loved to drop into that room in the manor basement (by crawler entrance of course :))

Of course, I never actually did any more than exploration and map experimentation (also my failed attempts at awesome screenshots). So I hope you guys would forgive me for these forays in the name if science:D
