How many teammates....

[Nenjin]

Is the game balanced for?

Hear me out:

L4D is clearly balanced for 4 survivors, and everything gets harder to survive the second you lose someone. That's because of the ratio between SI and teammates, and the # of incaps you have to react to.

So how is KF balanced? It has a SP mode, so I assume the waves scale to the # of players so it's possible to win with just one.

So my questions are:

#1 Do waves scale down once you lose a team member, or do they stay at the same intensity as having the full 6?

#2 How many team members can you lose before a co-op game pretty much becomes unbeatable?

#3 Do teammates ever have a chance to come back?

#4 If someone dies and leaves the server, does a new player have to wait for the match to end before playing?

#5 On average, how long do some of the matches take to complete? I'm sort of wondering what it would be like to die early. How long do you have to wait to get back into the action?

Its kinda 40 or more zombies per player....
1-Nop
2-Depends on the wave...if you are on or more than number 6 and have lost more than 2 then you should declare yourself somewhat screwed
3-Nop
4-Yes
5-It depends on the wave and players.....you cant respawn until the wave ends so you MUST be carefull with ur life!
And you are welcome to KF!

Ah so players respawn during the break between waves? Gotcha. I'm used to L4D survival and versus, where when you're dead you're dead until end of match.

Mod != Game.

 

[Nenjin]

Now you're just being a tease!

 

[Mercenario(AR)]

Excuse me schneidzekk,but what did u just said?!

 

[Nenjin]

He means the mod is different than the game, and so some of your answers might not be correct.

Ok, not such a stupid question

1. No, it works off how many players started...
2. As someone said - depends on the wave. Later waves get harder
3. So long as one person survives a wave, everyone else respawns. Just without the weapons they had bought and with less cash.
4. No.
5. A Long game can run for an hour, in 10 waves. So, at most you'll have to wait a few minutes to get back into the game. Spend the time yelling "Behind you. BEHIND YOU" over VOIP

Thanks for the reply.

An hour is a long time D:

 

[Nenjin]

I think that's because he's going for the absolute maximum wave settings. (Since we can program how big/many the waves are). Besides, I've had expert campaigns in L4D last two to three hours.....one hour sounds pretty good.

Respawning would be quite dumb indeed.
