It feels good to see that people are still actively playing this game. I love Killing Floor and I hope it remains active for years to come. With a few exceptions, the majority of the community is well rounded and it would be great if it remained so. Now, about the group and event.

SKFS frequently holds tournaments and events with prizes for the community. We also host 2 public servers with vanilla and custom maps for fast downloads. Custom maps are checked weekly to ensure the whitelist. Our goal is simple, to manage one of the largest KF communities and be home of one of the more engaging, fun and respectful groups.

* Event Information *

Its fairly simple. We worked on a few server side tweaks and managed to come up with some good balance to the idea. It will consist of 1 Person playing a map with an unlimited # of zeds and waves. Essentially, the goal is to survive the most waves and kill the most zeds.

All of our events include game prizes, and all donations we have ever or will ever receive go 100% back to the community. Our of respect, I encourage you to support other cool KF groups such as WPC, SCG, SKK, WMW and more.

If you would like more information on the event, you can check out our official SKFS Steam group of over 4K members here:

Thank you, and long live Killing Floor!

Might I suggest, for this contest, that Berserkers be either 1) excluded from this competition, or 2) another thing to let them not be so OP and easy to win this competition with.

The admins and I are discussing the technicalities behind the tournament, and we have come upon the conclusion to either exclude them or to let them play but have everyone play as berserker. Its still a working progress and more decisions will be made as we have time, since the tournament only begins on October 1st. Thank you for letting us know what you think!

NP, I was just reading and thought that if you had beserkers in, then they would have an unfair advantage so I figured I'd share my opinion.

Yeah. As much as I love to play as Berserker when I just want to chill out, talk in vent and run around with friends killing zeds, I prefer playing as a team with varying perks for the ultimate advantage.

Looking forward to this. Sounds like 95% of people are gonna go Support or Sharpie, tho.

Or Medic would also be great, since the body armour.

I'm interested to see where this goes as well. Its the first time we try this out, and if its successful we will surely do it again.

I'm thinking I might try Commando for this. With AK + Scar + Luck, you can deal with Scrakes without too much damage, and anyone who knows how to kite can deal with FPs.

Also, what will the difficulty be? Cause my Commando is only Level 3 (4 if I kill ~200 more stalkers). Unless you ran that mod that makes all perks level 6 and set it to Suicidal.

We are deciding the difficulty. While we don't want it to be too hard, we don't want it to be easy either. For the event a level 6 perk will be manditory as per all our events unless they are non-game related such as our facebook event which has just ended.

We might just end up accepting all perk levels. Were currently experimenting with our own tweaks and addons. Well keep everyone posted and no one will be left in the dark. Every one will know what is up way before the event begins.

If you have the time/patience/scheduling, it would be really cool if you hold 6/7 separate "events" where each event all the players must use 1 perk, like one day its a SS event and another its a Support event.

Kinda like you can only register as one perk and would only compete against others who are that perk, so by the end you would have the 6 best players at their respective perks.

Also I said 6/7 because if you don't use 1 perk then at the end you can have a 6 man game with all the winners.

*Note: This would be much more time consuming than just a single event, however it would solve the "zerk too OP, can't use it" argument.

Oh you.

Anyway, Ibin's idea sounds cool. If I wasn't preoccupied with school and (shamefully) Dead Island I'd take a whack at it. Nice of you to organize such an event.

Thank you for the nice comment. I love this game, and since picking it up I have been trying to build a community. Maybe you can participate in the next one. Ibin's idea is very good and it has surely been taken into consideration and discussed.

This is a really good idea. Have competitions for each perk, then have one for all perks together. You could kinda exclude medic from this because they shouldn't be killing a whole lot, but they can in the right hands.

Medics will be excluded. We are just thinking about what we should do. Exclude zerks as well or choose 1 specific perk for the entire event. It starts in 2 weeks, so this is going to be great. All the mods have been figured out already :) Hope to see some of you real soon. Happy thanksgiving to those of you who are in Canada, oh and Columbus day for the USA!

Id like to see the comp run as a perk specific comp,

IE this time, SS, next, Zerk etc

or could have a winner for each perk and run all in the same comp.

More of a concern is where your servers are located (havent checked your steam page yet) and once you decide on a config, will you be open to other servers using the same config to run players on the comp?

We have taken into consideration using specific perks for this tournament, and it is a good one might I add. Our servers are located in New York. While we do not have servers located overseas, we may set one up if we have such a request. Thanks for posting!
