-Source engine looks fake, plastic, etc, while Unreal 2.5 engine looks more gritty and crude. perfect for a zombie game.

I agree with you on the other counts, but Unreal 2.5 can look clean. KF makes it gritty/crude.

You are not alone. I agree with you fully.

I love both. They are very different games played very differently, and I personally do not get the whole L4D vs KF competition, due to their huge differences (especially that one is all about surviving the zombies in a minimilist fashion and can leave zombies behind, while the other's goal is the eradication of the zombies). Really, I love them both.

Indeed. To be honest, I don't think the guy you quoted knows what he's talking about. No half-decent engines force any kind of graphical style on you. It's the way you use the engine that matters, and the content you put in.

I just hate L4D because it's filled with screaming 12 year old idiots

Of course there's probably the same population of 12 year old idiots in KF, just that you don't notice them as much. ;)

i sense that if this game was ever released back in around 07... proprobably won't attract too many 12 yr olds... or at least less... think it also has door welding and stuff lol... has base building too go around gather ammo... food...

would be intersting if one day KF could implement some random stuff in their maps... like making u go collect a spawned item from another side of the map to make u run around... or make the doors not respawn each wave and force players to abadon their cmapsite...

YouTube - Division 9: Canceled Zombie Game

too bad it got canned (publsiher agreed to buy it but a bit too late... the company aready got sold to Take-Two or something...), else it would be even before the release of L4D... then we get KF vs D9 vs L4D

tactical zombie/swat 4 style... vs wave survival, vs linear story... (BTW, ppl that played Swat4 should instantly recognize the levels in the demo...)

I think Swat4 used Unreal 2.0... to be honest, i'm not really a graphics whore so for me... even 2.0 looks really great in my opinion~

anyhow... i used to think games that attract little 12 yr olds are games of simplicity... but to really think about it... KF is not really that much more complicated compare to L4D in my point of view, but i just seem to encounter less of such players... anyhow... hope i'm not too off topic...

indeed. i ran into one such ****** today. and yes they are around KF, but not NEARLY as often as in L4D. in L4D you're almost guaranteed to have at least one annoying troll 12 year old on your team in any game you join.
