Pretty neat. I just finished watching the first two videos. Some of the things I've noticed:

  • The Gunslinger's secondary XP is headshots (+1XP per).
  • The wave number increments at the beginning of trader time instead of the end now.
  • I'm pleasantly surprised at how lightweight the weapons are. You can easily single-wield all of them with a couple of dual-wields on top of that. :D
  • I like the Stalker cloaking changes.
  • At 17:43 in the first video the .500 Magnum is considered a Secondary weapon in the HUD but a Primary weapon at 34:50. :confused: (On second view, it looks like singles are counted as Secondary and duals as Primary.)
  • It looks like they didn't change the 1911/Desert Eagle skins much from the original preview renders (i.e. "1911"/"KF2" text).
  • At around 30:12 in the first video, it says "Health Full" at the bottom. I wonder if this means that Armament/Vaccinate no longer give armor at full health or if I'm just reading too much into it.
  • Total max ammo counts per weapon: 144 for 1858 and 1911, 98 for Desert Eagle, 80 for .500 Magnum. The Gunslinger definitely won't be lacking for ammo.
  • It appears the 9mm ammo has been equalized between single and dual to 240 total.
  • Ammo boxes can still be picked up when you have full ammo :(.
  • Next-gen tire swing physics! ;)
  • 28:20 in the second video: Pistol kills are zero despite Gregs2k2 being Gunslinger the entire match. :confused: (It probably only counts the 9mm as a "pistol" for the stat.)

All in all, count me as good and hyped for the new update.

I have some criticism.

It was mostly qiet. Then a dev says "we put body flashlights in the game, thats a new feature" and then someone says "oh yeah", "yeah" and then qiet again then someone from the devs says "hfjklaskfuslksdflk jaksdjfh" "what" "klajsdhfaskdjfahlskdjf" "I didint understand" "hows it feel, the game?" on which the answer was "ok I guess" and then qiet again ....

For next time make a list of conversation topics arround the game. Tallk about where did they got the inspiration for the map or any other general things or when they ask "how the game feels" at least try and say something about it :)

However thanks for the videos we saw the gameplay and its awesome and the maps are awesome, cant wait for the actual update for the people who actualy paid for the game and will get it last :D

Fair point but I thought I mentioned all that in the preview article? The videos were a bonus. I actually think the preview contains TOO much information, it has taken a lot of the surprise and mystery out of the update.

Either way, points taken on board. Thanks. :D

This was pretty cool as far as the vids go. I personally would have liked to see more singular pistol action to see how they faired.

For example you didnt do much ads with the 1858 singular, barely any with desert eagle, and non for 1911.

Oh well guess ill have to wait n see for myself.



Im not crazy that you start off with dual 1858s though.

Aaaaalright fellas, cos I like you all, i'll take some requests. I'll do a 5 minute video as an extra bonus as you've all done amazing with the amount of views we've been getting on YouTube and our website. Go ahead, ask away. I'll aim to get something recorded tonight.

Can you tell me why you are so amazing?

What kind of stuff did you have to do to get to play with the new update? Anything sexy? ;)

I can't think of anything else at the moment.

I'm not sure I understand this, are you going to talk to the devs about requests?
If so, is it possible that other scripted events will influence the game in future maps? (Like the day/night cycle)
Are there any plans to spice up the Support gameplay? (kind of flat right now)
When the seasonal events come and a bunch of non-canon stuff will be added to the game - can we have some sort of official checklist on what's canon to the vanilla KF universe and what's there just for the fun of it?
Can - we - have - Abandon All - PLEASE?

Please do a video of the Patriarch boss battle with the music volume at the highest. I want to hear his new theme and judge if it's as good if not better than Abandon All.

I'll post whatever you want to see in the build that I have. I'll gladly play the boss music at high volume, so you can hear it for yourselves, i'll ADS with all the single handguns and go pew pew. I obviously have to stay within the confines of the version TW gave me.

Perhaps another Q & A with TW may come up in the future. I'll speak to them, maybe after the release of ROTP, whenever that is.

Any other requests?

i would like to see pistol singles in action. Single 1858 and 1911. The gunslinger is kinda interesting this time around seeing as there isnt any high capacity pistols in the perk. the 1911 and deagle both have 8 and then u have the 6 n 5 shooter.

I would like to see how they fair more on an individual basis for pistols.


Also i take it that means we wont see the update today either seeing as your going to make a video for us. Wouldnt need the vid if we were getting it today.


:(

Also seeing the changes they made to the menus would be nice as well.

One last question, can you get gunslinger perk weapons dual wielded on other perks? Or is the function to dual wield (with exception of m9) solely a perk thing?
