I'm not sure how an honor system would work really.

You can't keep dishonorable players on "remedial servers" as there are none.

Perhaps limit their class choices, much like how high scoring players get best weapons? If that's the case the honor system will be a server by server basis?

I hate to be the inevitable second-guessing critic, but I am a bit worries about this; I personally hope it isn't based on score. For example, I mostly ignore score, as I know that it cant possible incorporate every positive and negative appropriately; a score system can't really measure the true worth of a player (and thanks to Killing Floor for teaching me that). That, and I really hate it when I am forced to do something based on stats; it forces me to keep track and monitor points, which I hate to do.

On America's Army, people only lost 'honor' if they teamkilled, otherwise it could only go up. It mainly increased due to completing objectives and following orders rather than killing the most people (deaths did impact the score, but wouldn't decrease overall honor). I also recall that higher honor players got first dibs on weapons. Server admins could restrict their servers to only have people above a certain honor if they wished, but most let everyone play. Considering that some TW devs worked on AA, hopefully the system will be similar (objectives mattering more than kills, etc).

You can't keep dishonorable players on "remedial servers" as there are none.

Maybe Tripwire will host a few. I remember the AA remedial servers were hosted by the game devs.

Well done, thanks for doing this and posting.

 

[RedGuardist]

Good read, thank you.




Maybe we get strafbat-servers. Those who have lost their honor can atone their sins in penal-battalion servers.

If its about TK-ing, then that makes perfect sense, phew

After all, it is very important to choose your shots carefully, and make sure not to hit a teammate (and it discourages greifers)

RO1 was the first game ever where I got kicked for tk-ing, I didn't even realize it myself untill I got kicked.

:IS2: take me out for my blasphemy

I like the philosophy regarding multi-platform. So if they release a console version, it will not be a direct port from the PC one.

This shouldn't concern us, since we are all gonna get it for the PC, but I'm glad they respect each platform the way they are.

If they released a direct PC port to consoles, they would be just as evil as those guys who are releasing console ports to PC. Console players are people too, and they also deserve decent products.

Killing Floor sold around 500,000 units in about fifteen months on PC, so it would be rude not to do a Killing Floor 2

=)

Yep, good interview, thanks for posting.

Can you give us a concrete release date?
Yes

 

[Hawke]

Thanks for the comments guys!

If you wanna help us out, keep coming back to GGTL or follow our Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/ggtl). We really hope to do more content on smaller places like Tripwire, so it'd be great to get some following from the community =D

Of course, it's TWI! They are famous for taking "free after-lunch support" to the next level

I just felt that needed correcting for the obvious typo... so I've put it right for you.

Such a good review!
