Outbreak Character Pack Now Available

Well, that is part of the fun! It will feel sooo much better when we finally get to play with it!
...The AK-47 that is.
Wait, what?
Amazing models, and not that expensive. I can see it now, SS units DLC for RO:HoS Or some other nation skins, Romanians perhaps.

Wait a minute. I've seen someone with the DJ Skully skin before, a good week before the 7-24-09 DLC became available. I always just thought it was a costume you could unlock through gameplay, and dismissed it at that.
Do these guys have an advantage at doing something, or are they just cool skins?

Apparently someone found a way to enable them trough an exploit which I will not reveal here. I was told how to do it by someone, but decided to wait until the "unlocking" method for the skins was so I could do it. Of course, I didn't mind paying for my skin pack. shame on those who use the "DJ I-want-to-look-cool-so-I-am-wearing-a-t-shirt-with-skull-on-my-face" skin and the others without obtaining them legitimately.
No. They are there just to give you a wider selection of characters to choose in the characer menu, and to be able to show your support to TWI for making a great game.
They're giving you a free map and two free new weapons. Are you just that out of the loop or are you seriously still being thickheaded despite the knowledge?
Just as they said in the other topic.
Nobody forces you to buy it. If you really cant afford that ammount of money, you will be without the extra skins. Must be terrible.

Guys, KF is indeed a great game, and i did get the skins for 2 dolars, im from brazil and we already have several local dedicated servers.
The only thing i really think was a big mistake on this char pack is this.
The Skins needed to change the arms and hands you see in game when in First person view.
Gaunlets for the Agent Wilkes, gloves for the other chars. and respective models. Hard looking metal texture for Agent Wilkes, rubber for lab guy etc...
I pick a skin, and all i can see is the blue sleeve and leather gloves.
If there are new chars, make new coresponding models to these chars.
Other than that great game, im recomending to my friends, two got it already.

I think that you are entitled to that opinion, perhaps you felt disappointed after their interaction with red orchestra?
For myself (the one that created the thread about how TWI was concerned about our wallets) have never played RO, I've played the unreal 2k4 mod of this game and loved it and I cant even count how many hours I've spent on this game.
I use a simple formula for rating how worthy a game is to me, IE fun factor.
amount of hours/price of the game
The higher the number the funner the game.
I've bought two copies of killing floor, one for me initially then 1 more for my girl friend. Then 1 character pack. The total was $42.00
I already lost track of how many hours we played, but a guestimate would be around 190+ hours.
So for me this is indeed a worthy investment, it may not have the quantity of content as some games do, but the quality of content is enough to keep me glued.
The cost is not the problem that I and others have. It's the principal of the matter. They announce a new map and weapons coming soon for free, then announce a day or so later they got four new skins but want money for them. That's complete idiocy. Those skins SHOULD have been included in a patch or so for everyone for free, perhaps along with the new map and weapons.
Anyone who bought the DLC is a complete moron and should have their computers taken away from them. You'll just encourage this company and others to make "cosmetic" add-ons or even minor stuff and charge for it when such stuff should be free.
As for supporting TWI, or any other company, here's how to do it best. Buy a game of their's, either a older game you don't have or a new one they'll have out. It's that simple.

apparently you dont know this but, to further add to the game, such as new weapons, new maps, new specimen, etc, it costs time and money. so brace yourself for what im about to tell you - theyre just like you and me: they dont work for free. mind blowing isnt it?!?!
so if you want to support TWI, give them the measley two dollars so they can turn it into further free updates, like the one they are doing now: AK47, Katana, new map Foundry. all that plus further bug fixes for free!!!
they didnt have to give us the new map, but they did. nor did they have to make the blade on the chainsaw rotate, and so on.
point is - were getting lots of great stuff for free. and if you want the new char skins, find the 2 dollars and buy it so they can continue to work on stuff like new maps and new weapons.
I really think it is not worth bothering to even comment on the people who whine about the paid DLC. They obviously didn't notice the initial price of the game at all.
Seriously, guys, it only costs EUR 17.99! It is a brand new game! With a content pack of EUR 1.79 or 2 it will still be cheaper than most games out there!
Come on, I see perfect logic with this. I don't think TWI has done anything wrong. Quite the opposite.
I believe TWI wanted to put the initial purchase price of the game as low as possible to allow more people to get hold of it and enjoy it, and then let the people who are able or willing to pay more buy some more cosmetic bells and whistles that do not make a difference but looks nice. But everyone, and I mean EVERYONE gets a FULLY FUNCTIONAL game. I, for certain couldn't have afforded it at, let's say EUR 29.99 (price for a budget game) or something like that. I am actually very grateful for being given the game for such a low price. And if I can, I will buy the following paid content packages, just to support them and encourage them to follow this marketing strategy.
How can you guys seriously be complaining about some NON-ESSENTIAL character skins costing a mere handful of shrapnel?

Am I the only person who uses the welding dude instead of the undead skater or someone being held up from his work aboard the Death Star?
