Aw yeah!

[[TW]Wilsonam]

I remember reading a while back on the RO2 forums when people where complaining about a slightly off-colored bolt on the SVT-40 that it was modeled after Alan's SVT so I imagine TWI, being the known gun nuts they are, model most of the weapons witht their ones as references.

Actually, the SVT is John's, not mine. Come to think of it, I've never fired the bloody thing - must rectify that sooN!

But by far the main reasons are :

-British-ness of KF being toned down
-M4 are a symbol of casualized, tacticool shooters, something KF is the opposite of

Um - but I'm a Brit - and I enjoy shooting the AR. I think I annoyed Chris by popping a clothes peg off the target line first shot when we were messing around. But, to be fair, most of this lot don't know I qualified "Marksman" before most of them were born... lol. Well, not Chris, he's fairly old.

Too much awesomeness.

Can't believe I might be the first person to say this but...........


Say ello to my li'l friend

So we know its an M4 with a M203, but were you wondering what else was on that gun?

-MagPul MIAD grip.
-What looks like a Troy rear-folding sight.
-VLTOR carbine modstock.
-MagPul PMAG 30rnd.
-The GL is a Colt M203 barrel mounted.
-Probably a KAC carbine RAS.
-KAC rail panel (9/11 rib)

I've noticed there's a lot of name-brand stuff on here TWI

Question about the achievements for the new weapons! Will those ones be year round?

I don't want to have to pop them all at once because I enjoy seeing a random achievement unlock out of the blue sometimes

 

[Azukki]

I seriously doubt those will be only temporarily available achievements; they're about the new permanent-addition guns, and don't really show any relation to the seasonal Christmas promotion, with the exception of "A bloody christmas carol", which is almost certainly christmas-only.

I think they also said they'd have the old Christmas achievements available again? Those would certainly be temporary, again.


Funny that the M4 chosen has a fancy quad-rail, so it can hold the maximum amount of... rail covers.
I wonder if, with the M203, the characters will constantly hold it using the magazine as a foregrip, so the grenade launcher's trigger is ready to be pulled whenever the player feels like pressing mouse 3?

Thank you Tripwire!

 

[Kenero]

Out of curiosity, can the claymore hit more than 1 enemy?

Or is it just a slower version of the katana with more damage?

 

[Maddoxx]

Speak for yourself. I've played Commando almost exclusively since KF was released and I'm going to use that M4 so hard it won't know what hit it.

Me too!

I will use any means to kill my enemy, except maybe trying to gauge their eyes!

 

[Maddoxx]

Get a grip. Sure, you have a perfect right to dislike a particular weapon, but consider: I think there are roughly a dozen RAF bases in various locations around Great Britain that have a U.S. military presence, so I don't think having a M16/M4-variant in the game is in any way less likely than, say, the AK. I suspect that if we collected every AR15/M16-variant and AK-variant currently in Great Britain, we'd have a far larger pile of the former, than the latter. (I'd like to point out that, having done that, we'd give them all back, of course.)

The damage dealt within KF by the L22A1 (Bullpup) is already grossly underpowered for the round this weapon actually fires IRL. At this point, I accept that particular reality just "is what it is." What I'm hoping is that the new rifles that use the same 5.56x45mm ammunition have the sort of punch they should. Even if that isn't the case, I'm very pleased with everything this newest update appears to contain. I mean, really, what's not to like?

Bullpup grossly underwpowered?

Ahhhh ( I answered too quickly without reading further, sorry! Much on my mind! )!

By Ramm-Jaeger ( post 396 ):"Just for clarification:

The MP5 doesn't have any flashlight functionality, I believe that thing that looks like a flashlight is the healing dart launcher. Either that or someone modeled a flashlight and we missed it

The M4 is full or select (single fire). The M4 w/203 is fully auto always.

And regarding how realistic the damage/power of weapons are, we don't really aim to make that fully realistic in KF. Really its probably "semi-realistic" and our goal is just to make the weapon feel real and powerful. In KF we mostly just balance the weapons to what feels right vs the other weapons and the zeds. Now if you want realistic weapons we make another game called Red Orchestra 2 ..."

OMG, This is totally awesome!!! Tripwire ROCKS!!! Thank you guys, you're the best developers ever!
Alas we don't have any unlockable character this Xmas.. Highlander or sort of Mel Gibson from Brave Heart would win the day..

You missed it, the heal dart launcher is just beside the muzzle and flashlight is just down there. It is MP5A4 Navy model I believe.

/is a mp5 lover.

Not new unlockable no, but quite a few people missed out on the Baddest Santa model last year and have just been dying (I assume, via the amount of threads in the past year) to get another chance. For those of us that did unlock it, don't forget about the next steam punk character pack!

I know) I missed it too, and was very eager to have a chance.. But still it feels like an old unlockable character, like Steampunk Mr.Foster on Halloween. Though we had some chicken guy in addition to it that time) No unlockable Xmas themed or some Highlander character during this event makes me sad a little^^

 

[YoYoBatty]

Got some questions for TWI:

MP5 - How do you activate its flashlight if secondary fire is gonna be for healing darts?

Press "F" that IS the default flashlight activate key.

 

[braindead]

Press "F" that IS the default flashlight activate key.

This was already confirmed YoYo....no flashlight (sobs quietly in the corner)

 

[C_Gibby]

Quick! Somebody make an MP5 flashlight mutator!

Question

Question

I know the guns will probably be available soon but I'll only be able to play in a few hours, so :

Is the commando M4 stronger than the Scar ? (I REALLY need to know this)

How strong is the m4+m203 (comparing to lets say the scar) ?

Are the revolvers stronger than the eagles ?



Thank you TWI, I'm glad to see you added the much requested guns to KF, best christmas gift I'll probably have


Commando and demo will be my prefered classes now
