I own Left4Dead and also have recently pre-purchased KF on Steam. I need to know do you have to own any previous games in order for KF to work right. For example, do you have to own a copy of Red Orchestra just to play Killing Floor? This is my first post on these forums, so be gentle!

Hmm, imagine if RO was required for KF. They could probably do a package deal for like 25$. That'd be awesome, lol.

The one major benefit of KF going from mod to retail was losing the prerequisite. Mod communities at best can only carve out a small portion of the community of the game they modded.
Going retail exposes KF to a much wider audience because it's not being limited by the drawbacks of only being exposed to an audiance that was attracted to a competitive arena FPS.

Benefit is also, not having 7GB UT2004 installed. Seriously, that was one of the only reasons when I reformatted I did not get the mod again, 7GB for a game I'd never play and a mod I'd only play rarely was to much. :p
