Yeah, no Abandon All worries me. Don't get me wrong, watching the Patriarch in action is awesome, but what song could possibly top his trademark theme?

So I noticed they posted the patch notes for this update. Have they indicated the date this drops? Sorry if this has been posted already.

I just finished reading it, I'm liking what they've done with balancing certain things and they addressed the ammo pickup disparity.

I still hope they did something with the Trader interrupting character chatter, that really, really annoys me. Plus I'm still hopeful that they'll make the Traders voice be affected by ZED time again. I've asked about that but I never get a reply from the devs. :(

So the new flashlight mechanic just magically shines it's light from nowhere? Something was needed for those who didn't have nightvision but that's just kinda weird.

The flashlight is clipped on to the character's chest. It does have a physical model.

Take a look at this photo from the preview article: http://www.ragequitters.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/2015-11-28_00002.jpg

Look to the horizontal strap of Scully's backpack. See that ring of glass on what looks like a miniature periscope? That's the flashlight. Kudos to that attention for detail, TWI.

A little more OT: this update's going to be fun. Thanks for giving us more ways to slaughter "children", TWI. :p

That new menu interface tho...
I'm glad I have so many videos with the current menu, it's going to be nostalgic watching them years from now :D

The update looks really great, can't forward to finally get my hands on!

But still...Abandon All. RIP.
Needs to come back. Version 2 that is. Version 3 is too flat.

Imma be honest I always think that medic is stand back and heal perk and if your medic dies then you are pretty much dead
That's why medic was nerfed....if you are going to be a good guy you are going to help your medic when he is in trouble since he is important...this perk isn't run and gun and heal people it's a perk that teammates must care about

Looks like you can still cancel the reload with RMB to reload 50% faster...

^This. It already felt hugely exploitative with the 9mm's, now we can use this in conjunction with a proper arsenal, skills and perk bonuses? Don't get me wrong, the update looks great both in terms of new content and rebalancing but this has got to be addressed.

My only disappointment in the update is the lack of Abandon All. I was waiting SO MUCH for some new version of the best song in KF1 :(

Wait do you play on low graphic settings with flex on or did they add more gore to the game?
