Actually, there is a story, from the mod days. Look it up and you will find them. Plus, there are references to the experiments done to the zeds throughout different maps. A key example is Wyre, with the stalkers on the benches, and the diagrams and xrays of them.
KF Killing Floor 2

Never meant the opposite.
I said that you do not play a story.
You play in maps, trying to survive. Nothing is revealed during the game play, except if you but together the evidence from the maps. Like that Stalker where developed in the Wyre Forest laboratory.
If KF 2 uses the back-stories and biographies and it is made into a story game, with proper script and everything, then it would technically be a spin-off, not a sequel or prequel.

sequels can fix long standing technical issues with the original title as well as update the visuals
the accuracy bug with dual wielding would be fixed
the server browser could be built for steam integration and not just be the UT2 browser, it could also report waves etc
the physics system and ragdolls could be brought inline with more modern setups.
the animations can be more intricate, the number of bones could increase
the lighting system gets overhauled and dynamic lighting becomes an actual possibility and not a faked effect.
the AI gets a massive overhaul effectively renewing the game for veterans who've "worked it all out" more complex behaviours like avoidance, cover, flanking could make an appearance. imagine how much more terrifying the fleshpound would be if he can sidestep laws, and swat grenades back at you. imagine stalkers that avoid engaging from the front in order to grab from behind, making the commando's ability to see them actually valuable.
on top of this better smoke and flame effects, refractive cloaking instead of a transparent red texture
and none of that even touches on the core gameplay redesigns that could improve or ruin the game, just the technological improvements
All this issues will be fixed more efficiently with an update.
Creating a new game takes time, usually years, and new games have truckloads of bugs and other issues, so with a new game we will actually have more problems.
Better graphics and effects can also added as an update. Unless they drop KF1 in favor of KF2, having both games running will require support and it is not cost-effective in my opinion.
What i would like, is a KF movie (why not?) along with a story KF game as suggested above (based on the movie), and new retail version of KF with characters, weapons, maps and why not, new ZEDs added.
And why the hell not, the story game can be incorporated to the KF as it is now, and KF will receive better graphics in the new version.

no matter how many times you guys claim this, it'll never happen
most of those changes require a new engine backend so it'll still introduce new bugs, on top of which there's the million odd dollars to license unreal per game. so a free update like that is commercial suicide. a paid update like that will still divide the community
end result, its sequel or stagnate
Interesting.
I had read before a couple of years that Unreal can give you License if you make a contract and give them a share of the profits, but i am not a Corporate Lawyer and years have passed, so i cannot say for sure.
I never spoken of using a new engine.
I think that some better textures can be added in the current engine as well as some effects and generic eye-candy.
Making a new game that will be the same as KF 1, does not sound much efficient to me, when KF1 still looks good and can be updates.
Note that i am interested in gameplay, not fancy graphics.

last time i looked UDK has a 25% cut after the first $5K. so at 1 million sales it would cost tripwire at least $2.5m assuming an average price of $10. DLC packs would also incur the same cut. UDK is only a real option if your an indie and even then you'd be trying to win "make something unreal" to get a free license
Epic Games takes 25% after $50k*.
UDK Commercial License Terms said:
Not saying I think KF2 is a good idea. I'd much rather see some more Objective Maps.

And there is a large amount of people with 1gb or even as low as 512mb of RAM in their system.
In 2013? They have better priorities than PC gaemin then. 2+ GB has been the base 'standard' since like 2008.
Not everyone has the money to update, and when you update you should "invest" in a medium low-high end system.
Low end systems get outdated very soon.
In my country, such systems cost around 1550-2000

Xbox 360 has 512MB RAM and PS3 have 512MB divided: 256 MB system and 256 MB video.
Even if the RAM in the consoles are newer than what is in old PC's and that the two consoles are more dedicated systems, consider what games the two consoles are able to play.

The only problem is that Steamworks has decided not to get off their lazy asses and get a working 64-bit binary and is dragging every game behind that could potentially be better, much more efficient, and have more content in the game. It's the same thing with Killing Floor (and even RO2:HOS). Tripwire Interactive is holding back with adding much more guns because of the issue where you cannot exceed the 2GB memory limit as it is a 32-bit game (and can be upgraded to 64-bit easily) and relies heavily on Steam for a lot of things, such as, achievements and linking other games together for access to certain skins and such. Until Steamworks get off their lazy bums and get a working 64-bit binary, don't expect a sequel or something any time soon, or if you are one of those people who play on modded servers, don't expect your issues with crashes to be over any time soon.
Yes, but they play the Console Versions.
As far as i know, PC versions have more eye-candy and therefore are more heavy, but if the PC version is good, it will allow you to lower the settings to the Console level and have the same FPS.
When a game is ported from a Console to PC, this is another story.
But KF does not currently have a Console Version.
