Looking back on Killing Floor

[Yomommassis]

Post your memories of how Killing Floor has changed, whether it be from the mod or just retail


Remember in Killing Floor MOD how the Fleshpound used to STARE at you with his yellow glowing eyes and his head would face you?

god that was so scary, he would stare at you as he killed your buddy, telling you that you were next lol


Remember before the Level Up patch and lvl 5 was the highest lvl?

good times


Remember when the Level Up patch came out and because you had so much XP you became lvl 6 instantly?

was that only me? lol


Remember back before the chainsaw got nerfed? when it was actually good?

I loved berzerker back then...


Anybody else remember the first week Killing Floor retail was released and the shotgun had a huge oversight?

It had EXTREME knockback, I remember being on manor and i would crouch and aim at a scrakes face point blank, pull the trigger and watch him fly clear out of the map lol (100% not exaggerated), good times


Anybody else remember when they patched the game adding the ability to "Crisp up" ZEDs? and there was a bug along with that patch that made the fire on ZEDs NEVER go out?

I remember beating Foundry on suicidal because of this, just set the patriarch on fire once, when he ran away to heal the fire damage made him never stop to heal and he was eventually burn to death somewhere on the opposite side of the map lol, i wish they would put that back in the game ;]

I remember when we didn't have all of these weapons that caused so many negative discussions, back when we didn't have the M14 or Katana.

I remember when the Bullpup was the only assault rifle, and nobody made fun of it because it wasn't "cool" like the AK or SCAR.

I remember when the LAW was actually bought with all seriousness to use against the Patriarch.

I remember when I realized the Baseball bat wasn't in KF 2.0.

I remember when I could go on a server and play the game without people exploiting every two seconds.

I remember the first week Killing Floor retail came out, my tab key popped off!

I remember when I realized that I got an amazing deal by buying Killing Floor and fell in love with Tripwire. <3

I remember when everybody talked about the Chainsaw like it was the best weapon in the game, I wish TW would restore it to its true form.

I also remember the awesome knife power attack animation that was taken out, RIP awesome stab.

 

[Arkayer]

I remember my first solo "match", I died after 6 ZEDs on Offices, still love that map <3

I remember when I realized that I got an amazing deal by buying Killing Floor and fell in love with Tripwire. <3

I bought KF when the Heavy Metal pack was released.. The 'Heavy Metal' part is what made me buy KF.

 

[Yomommassis]

i remember when Westlondon had that exploit to get out of the map if you were hit by the police gate..couldnt play a game without someone doing it...


i remember when the primary knife swing could take off a Fleshpounds head in one swing due to an oversight with his head health lol

 

[nath2009uk]

I remember the mod, where you couldn't simply headshot everything in one shot and it bled out.

And where the zeds could keep up with you.

 

[Undedd Jester]

I remember starting on the retail game, got pretty good, tried to play the mod, and couldn't make a headshot to save my life

Never wanted a crosshair so much in my life

I also remember at one point being so into the game, I used to stay up until 3 am in the morning just playing for the sake of playing when I had to get up for work at 7

Long for these days to come back again. Hopefully the balance update might actually mean people get good at the game again and be fun to play with

Hehe ye i remember eveyrthing, but not the Mod thing, never played that, but lol the knockback on shotgun...jesus it was bloody fun that, even worse that knowing once you set fire on the boss as a firebug he would surely die....

Best part is that when level up came you where lvl 6 like in a instant

 

[smalldemon]

I remember when I was scared of the Mod so much that I had to play with my friends to keep up with the game. We were playing as much as we were able to back then (I was in a dormatory back in highschool). God, we had so much fun, and got scared so many times!

I remember when we played La Casa Muerta hours and hours on the 2.1 mod.

I remember how of a challenge the mod was.

GOD, BRING US BACK THE MOD!!!!

 

[Deafmute]

I remember actually being scared of FPs and Scrakes.

I remember when Pat was a challenge before the introduction of pipe bombs.

I remember when the AK was first added. Oh god I thought that was the best thing ever.

I remember being SO excited to reach level 5 Commando, and jumping immediately to level 6 when Level Up came out.

 

[timur]

I remember when I first played KF.... played solo, then camped in the shadows in a corridor, didnt know what crawlers were, and was killed by a single crawler behind me as a freaked out, looking for a clot.

good times.

good times. IN AMERICA

4chars?

 

[rckrdude]

I remember when you could decap FPs.

I remember how exciting I was when people found how to 1 shot kill scrakes before they fixed the headshot hitboxes (aim one head to the right of the actual head rofl). Scrakes were actually scary mothers before that and the katana.

I remember when gorefast's headshot hitbox was on its shoulder.

I remember when you could slowly drain down FPs health without enraging them.

I remember how dangerous FPs became after they fixed the above glitch. Xbow would take 8 shots or so to kill it on suicidal so the only way to take it was to work together as a team throwing everything you had at it or risk your life but save the team's precious ammo and gain eternal glory by going for the decap. Oh man GOOD TIMES. This was when KF was at its prime imho. The game was challenging and exciting as hell without having to resort to cheap tactics like bull**** spawns (turn around for 1 second and 6 crawlers spawn right behind you wow). Everyone needed to be paying attention and doing their role so you didn't have half the team doing the work and the other half just ****ing around like you see in most games today. Man oh man I couldn't have enough of KF back then.

I remember when all commandos could do against scrakes and FPS was shoot a bullpup at them.

I remember when Support and Zerker were the best classes.

I remember when the healer hitboxes were way off. This one wasn't so much fun.

I remember when KF was actually hard and suicidal achievements took forever to beat. Must've tried ten times to get the achievement on biotics before headshot hitbox fixes and new weapons but got wyre, bedlam etc in the first or second time.

 

[-[SiN]-bswearer]

i remember all of what's been said so far.......

i definitely miss:
YouTube - Killing Floor Berserk

i remember when headshotting a scrake with a crossbow wasn't considered "overpowered".

i remember when medics actually healed people instead of kiting with a bow/katana

i remember when supports would actually weld doors

i remember when commandos only had one weapon

i remember when terrible hitboxes made playing as a SS extremely frustrating

i remember when you couldn't pipespam the patty to death

i remember when the zerker actually provided close quarters support with the BEASTLY chainsaw....as opposed to ramboing around with windmill katanas like they do now

i remember when the forum trolls were mostly L4D fanboys as opposed to them now coming from within our own community

i remember purposely welding the west london gate then blowing it up with nades just to piss off people who wanted to glitch with it

i remember when you saw a high level perk you actually believed that they were good at the game.....before players figured out how to power/insta - level their perks to the max and instead learned how to actually play the game

i remember when people were at least honest about cheating by playing KF-Leveling.....as opposed to attempting to mask it as "powerleveling on easy maps"

i remember when we were blown away by updates since they were so constant and we never expected so much more would be added to the game

i remember when we didn't have to worry about whether or not the game would ever be updated again

i remember when most all the custom maps were buggy as hell and no fun to play......then map testers came along to help mappers fix their maps

i remember when people actually made relatively intelligent suggestions in the forums

i remember when for the most part, people could carry on civil discussions/arguements in the forums





most of all, i remember the time when we didn't have to keep ourselves busy by posting in meaningless threads like this because we were all having so much FUN playing the freeking game

[Sambopukka]

I remember back in the mod days, on deaths server when we had snow mobiles that could drive up 90 degree slopes covered in ice and plough over Timmy and his fellow chums, ah those were the days.

 

[synecdoche]

I remember when the katana didn't require clicking
and being unfamiliar with every map.

 

[CannibalBob]

Heh, when Fleshpounds were a thing to be feared and didn't auto-rage. Sometimes we'd leave them for the end (eg. on kf-farm), while other times we'd surround it and do synchronous Hunting Shotgun alt-fire in order to kill it before it can rage!

 

[-[SiN]-bswearer]

i also remember being able to put FPs on fire and just run away until they died. hurray for the few anti-kiting measures that were added in the heavy metal update!

 

[Unit-05]

I remember when I played the game for my very first time when it came out on steam, I bought it the MOMENT it came out. having fun with the commando as I was blowing away crowds of clots, when I turned around and saw the massive 9 foot tall, blender armed, glowing monster as it growled "IM GOING TO FIX YOU", And I s*** you not, my exact words when I saw the thing.YouTube - wtf is that
