Seeing as no one plays baseball in the UK, it wouldn't fit. As stated above a cricket bat would make more sense. Would be cool to have some custom physics so you can whack the head really far. :)

I totally think if they added a bat which would definatly be a cricket bat, that the zeds heads shouldn't come off but explode like an xbow to a scrakes head would be awesome

This part of the forums is to suggest ideas , not to copy them into KF.

But think about it, it's cool in tetris making linz with a block, but in kf it would be the most awesome mayleae weapon, imagine roatatin' blocks in zeddddd time and in slomo the blocks fall down and make a line and all the blocks flow away, how cool would that be!

if we had a blunt object baseball or cricket bat (cricket being more appropriate for setting) i would like to see the heads explode like a headshot not get cut off like everyother melee weapon lol

Have some originality please.
We cant just copy everything from L4D2.

Why is having a baseball bat in KF copying everything from L4D2? Why not Manhunt, or GTA? It's a baseball bat, it's not a strange weapon that's unique to L4D2. If someone suggested "Bloat Bile" that did the same thing as "Boomer Bile" then I could understand your point but this isn't the case here.

It's a standard blunt weapon that I personally would like to see in KF, I'd much prefer it over a cricket bat, I mean let's face it, cricket bats are gay.

no... no baseball bat, it's not the US ... cricket would fit much better.

Cricket is played in more countries than baseball. But still both games are equally boring and not very popular world-wide.

Think about it, it's cool in l4d2 hitting zombz with a baseball bat, but in kf it would be the most awesome meelee weapon, imagine hittin' a clots head in zedd time and in slomo the head flows away, how cool would that be!

I think more reasoning is needed behind your post. Here is some advice for future suggestions:

-What niche would this fill in game?

-What perk is it for?

-Why do you think this is a good idea?

-How could it be balanced?

- never Never NEVER EVER mention other games in your suggestion post. It gets under the skin of the killing floor old heads (unnesisarily so, but what ever), hence the down rates.


Here is my idea for the bat:

A melee weapon for all perks. One or two blocks of weight. It scales with the difficulty so it stays mildly effective as you increase the number of players / dificulty. I'm not talking about a one hit kill, but something to fill up that extra block of weight with something useful.

Also, it may or may not add to your leveling up of the berserker.

That is how you do it.

List of weapons that aren't native to the UK (but are in killing floor):

Lever Action rifle
AK-47
M79
MAC-10
9mm (Beretta)
Handcannon (Desert Eagle Derivative)
LAW
MP7
M32
AA12
M14 EBR
SCAR

I agree that British weapons would fit the scene much better, but it isn't a valid argument anymore. Roughly half of the games weapons are from outside of the UK.

Furthermore: you guys are acting like its the 16th century. "Whoa, we don't have the means to transport any non UK items here yet!" Everything in the UK territory is 100% British these days right?

Who ever said it was about whether the weapon was native to the UK or not?
