Cause I still see a lot of players.

It's usually at like 900 before the weekend, did that much people actually buy it or maybe they left the game running before it expired.

If it's over that means its finally safe to play hard again, wouldn't want this to happen again lol.

Yea, its over, now new people like me will buy the full version since the game is pretty damn good. Can't believe I waited this long to get this. With good friends this game is very fun and quite a few of the custom maps I played were great.

Hello!

This is my first post, now registered, after the free weekend.
I haven't got enough time to read all the Forum, so sorry if somebody else already asked this question, but I need the answer fast.

I tried the game now, this weekend. I like it! I got some achievements and levels during this period. The free-time is over and I cannot start the game, it's in "Pre-load complete" status in my games list. I wanna buy the game tomorrow if the 25% off still remain. (It's quite weird that the reduced prices are live at weekends - when the e-banks are closed - at least in my country).

So my question is: am I getting my achievements and perk levels back after I purchase the game?

(Cause I also played at the end of the free time, and after that all my levels set back to 0 and couldn't go in my Achievements page in the game.)

Please answer if you are 100% sure. Thanks a lot!

Ugh, this was a very hard weekend to play. I couldn't believe what some of the newbies did, not to mention always asking for cash, or why their perks weren't going up because they were using the wrong gun!!! The ones that really made me laugh, were the ones that tried to tell me what to do and where to go...haha! I'm so glad this weekend is almost over!

All the elitist people complaining about inexperienced players should have their Steam account deleted.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I have a few friends that did purchase KF...:D We were all once noobs, that I have compassion for, but to have sooooo many at onetime this weekend tried my patience...:p

i think the biggest problem is not because of inexperienced players... everyone is inexperienced at one point... but the ones that are inexperienced but goes as if they are experts... and don't listhen or don't play conservatively...

but then again... i agree that a free weekend is great idea to promote this great game... hopefully this weekend converted a lot of doubters to the good side~ :D

Gotta say I am really happy this weekend is at an end! Soon, those who owned the game before this and have actual perk levels will step wearily from their password-protected fallout shelters and rejoin the world. (and hopefully i can get a game where i'm not raking in 500 kills over the second place guy :p)

Haha, I actually had fun playing with noobs. Reminded me of the days when I didn't know wth I was doing. I joined along with some of them by using the new demo perk.

I also taught some of them how to play properly, hopefully that made them buy the game.

I didn't really have that much issues with free weekenders in theory but practically they were either such cluster****s or ignorants that it just amused you. Those few cases you ran into some that had some sense in their heads, it was actually quite decent.

Few interesting cases I saw:
Wave starts, the guy (can't remember the perk exactly) goes hurr durr against a mob of enemies and he dies in an instant, then followed by "ffs noobs help me". After he respawned and the new wave began, he proceeded to do the same thing again, followed by "OMFG U ****ING NOOOOBSS! HELP ME ****ERS!" and the next wave, after buying LAW (everyone else was pretty high on money at that point) and firing it once he killed himself and was like "****ING NOOB GAME U CANT FIRE A ROCKET?!?!?!?" and complained how L4D melee bash is a good feature and how ****ty KF is. :p

Another interesting case was that I joined a server, spawned lvl5 medic, then everyone else (lvl0-1 guys) were begging for money and said "ur lvl5 u must have money!" even though I just joined the game, followed later about how elitistic noob game KF is when high levels won't give you money to buy new top weapons... even when they just joined the game :D

Probably some of the more expected ones were like calling flesh pound a tank (saw this many times), bloat a boomer (many times aswell), then crawlers as hunters (lolwut?), siren as a witch (I have to admit, I did this few times when I bought the game, partitially by accident) and so on. Amusement followed when someone asked does the bloat bile attract enemies to you.

I did ran into some free weekenders who actually asked legit questions and were willing to stick around rather than proceed to hurr durr rushrush routine and die in two seconds. It was quite interesting to play with them though, a fresh change in the sea of ****e known as free weekend.

Hah! It is becoming quite ****ing annoying...

Not everyone that tried the free weekend was a ****ty player you guys. I know that personally, I caught on very quickly to how to play the game correctly. I asked a few questions over VOIP, but that was it for bugging other players. I played my perks the correct way [welding as Support, etc.] and always healed my team mates before healing myself. I used VOIP to let my team know what I was doing and where, if I needed assistance, and calling out all Flesh Pound / Scrake sightings. In fact - on a large portion of the games I played over the weekend, I was doing much better than the "non-free-weekenders" even.

So, please, stop that god damn generalization. :)
