ok so i've got to be honest, the game gets on my nerves, at least i was about to give up on playing it completely until yall introduced the Katana.

don't get me wrong, I have respect for the work that goes into making a game. And I like bullets takin down zombie things, sure! But the first thing I looked for was hammer and baseball bat and .45s?

and since we are making suggestions, why not give players 18 slots and make pistols 3 slots instead of 4 then u wouldnt have to make the second .50 cal weightless. and throw in some .45s. likely they could have damage power in between the current pistols' power. Also for the poor folk a moderately powered extremely cheap revolver could be gotten for say 50 pounds and in addition to old fasioned single action akimbo, for the snipers sake, he could cock and aim each pistol indivually during 'aim mode' whatever u call it. I bet the animation for such a thing would be a challenge, but worth the coolness i think. revolvers also seem to fit the dark style of the game. (colt .45 automatics would also be cool)

the game is now growing on me (with the katana), but it is so much less dynamic than other FPS that I have played, that I still go back and play my other shooters since KF loses my attention. as much fun as it is, i also keep thinking how 'unpolished' it looks so certain additions would really offset this. I think also these additions would not change the current feel of the game, except to make it cooler along the same lines it already is.

one other thing, would it be too much to ask of the game makers to allow EITHER: weapon switching at ANY TIME, like while reloading? sort of give up on a reload instead of being clawed at while reloading by mistake? I mean id rather my gun keep going CLICK CLICK than it take over my hands and reload itself, and once doing that, NOT let me do anything else until done ; OR give us a melee option with the weapon we are holding, like Left 4 dead u punch zombies with your gun...

in conclusion to help spruce up that seemingly unpolished feel, lets dish out enough space to our characters (not so much the shot gun guy) to have one good primary, and 4 or 5 pistols (2 sets akmibo), and maybe a melee weapon, just like i could pack up in real life WITHOUT MAKING THE SECOND PISTOL WEIGHTLESS... ;D lets have some more pistols like a revolver or a colt .45 style automatic or both, (revolver should be nice an cheap for us poor people) LETS HAVE MORE MELEE WEAPONS, would be nice to THWAAACK a zombie/clone thing with a wood bat or CLIIINK them down with an aluminum bat, of course i would like to see a big old mace with spikes on it but that might not fit the theme, but if u can buy a machete for 100 pounds then surely the BATS should be plentyful.

Once again, the heroes of stalingrad forums have nothing to do with Killing Floor. Please post in the right section. I have moved this post.

maybe people are thinking TWI will add commie zombies to HOS? any we don't need more meele weaps right now we need to figure out where to use and where not to use the ones currently in the game pre patch i felt like most things had there job now with the addition of the Katana the Axe, the chainsaw, and the machete have been roled into one making 2 of those three lose there place in the stragy for the zerker perk while the other maintains it merely because it can hold ground better i think there are enough meele as it is when i am a zerker i feel overwhelmed by teh choices i have

I don't know where to start;
Well maybe by pointing out that Baseball isn't a traditionally played sport in Britain, so there aren't baseball bats all over the streets. :confused:

Everyone on this forum said:

I enjoy reading the vast majority of these posts because they are all the same. Every thread here requests a vast amount of weapons with minimal attention to what's already there.

While we're at it, I would like to request:

- A pick-axe
- A flaming M4A1 that shoots uranium bullets
- Unicorn mounts for all level 5 players
- Helm of Unholy Strength +10

18 slots per player? This would completely throw off the dynamic of the game, unbalancing everything the devs have worked so hard to accomplish. There's a specific perk to select in order to become a walking armory, and that's Support Specialist. If every class were allowed a similar benefit, then the importance of perks fades away. It's an absolutely game-breaking suggestion.

I apologize for kind of freaking out, and I assure you that it's not personal whatsoever. It's just that a similar topic pops up each and every day without consequence. Take a look at my quote if you don't believe me.

The truth is, there's so much more that can be polished with this game other than "GUNS, GUNS, GUNS!"

I hear you on that front. I have put together a suggestion for a cheap single action revolver. I believe that there is currently no weapon that particular niche and I believe the Ruger would fit it perfectly.

lol good one.
I also agree with comments above. We already have bunch of weapons and TWI added Katana and ak47! We have lots of weapons where to choose. The last thing we need indeed are the melee weapons. There are enough.
Don't get me wrong, it's always good thing to add more stuff to games but there must be the line somewhere. If TWI would throw random sh1t to KF they never get balanced. TWI are fixing the game all the time and given us free content. Just give them a break, go play some CoD or whatever if you are not satisfied with KF. Out.

A level 5 medic should be able to inject a specimen with his medigun for a poison effect, which slowly kills off the specimen injected. This doesn't work on the Patriarch and it also depletes the entire medigun ammo reserve.

Or at least the medic could have armor that replenishes itself every wave, every other class gets a gun to start off, guns last forever, body armor is only temporary.

You seem to forget that Medics can buy armor that is 140% more effective for just a tad over $100! Everyone else is stuck with standard-effectiveness armor that costs a full $300!

:-| are you serious? everything but FP and scrake get mowed down within seconds. and if youre willing to get that close to a FP or scrake, to inject them, then good luck with that!

PS: OP, baseball bat was a KF weapon but it was taken out.

CRICKET BATS = SHAUN OF THE DEAD = AWESOME :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I'm with you on that. If for any kind of retarded reason this game needs another melee weapon, it HAS to be a cricket bat.

And while we're at suggesting new weapons, I want a tactical nuke strike, so I can obliterate half of England and kill ALL the specimens at once, thus ending the game FOREVER. :D Fingers crossed.

Lol. Lamest game ever. The only reason it got past the drawing board is because Curtis Jackson's face is in it.

what about broad sword and fullplate armor. British had those in the middle ages. Mace, lance, bible, the list goes on!
