Should I buy Killing Floor?

Yeah Servers are plentiful in KF, there are tonnes floating around with a variety of difficulties. Usually are quite a few active players, over 1000 players at peak every day.
Best thing about it is even if you wind up having to join a server with a not so good ping,k you can still find the game quite playable.

I was first thinking about buying Black Ops because of its zombie mode but, holy ****, that game costs almost 70 euros, for which I can buy a new Samsung hard drive of 1000GB.
Who the hell would buy a game for 70 euros?? Though if anyone would gift me Black Ops that would be nice...

Killing Floor is still daily peaking over 3,500 so you should have no problem finding a server with players. if you get the game quickly, you'll get about a week to play the Christmas event before it ends on January 4th. all the specimens are Christmas themed, there's a Christmas theme map and 13 special Christmas event only achievements....if you get 10 of them and beat the Christmas map on any difficulty before the event ends, you'll unlock a special "Bad Santa" player character

For 10$~ you can;t go wrong. Hours of fun and now with Hell on Earth difficulty, you will burn off calories sweating from frantic moments. Much better than the 2 cheese burgers you would have bought that would make you fat.
Buy Killing Floor.
I've logged more hours in Zombies on BO than I care to admit, and I can honestly say KF is more fun. It's a common thing to spend the first 7 rounds in ZBO bored as hell. It's slow to get started and takes a set amount of time to get through the beginning rounds because of the slow spawn rates.
With KF you can blaze through the first few rounds because of the quick NPC spawn time, and in no time you're already facing tougher challenges. Add in perks, leveling, and a diverse selection of baddies, and you've got a quick paced kick-*** co-op survival game with a lot of replay value.
In ZBO, I do enjoy being able to buy a better gun as soon as you get the money, but the temporary availability of the trader is one of the core gameplay elements of KF, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
tl;dr Buy Killing Floor, it's a wiser investment.

I live in Australia and there are at least 30 servers that ping for less then 50 for me.
I'm sure you'll be fine in Europe ^^.
Awesome game by the way, some of the best $10 I ever spent.

There are a lot of good custom maps. The best have been made official over time. However a lot of servers just run the original standard maps, which will keep you entertained for quite a while.
Maps are automatically downloaded in compressed format, then decompressed. Might take a minute or two, though, on large maps.
There used to be a map pack, but it is horribly out of date. Mostly, the headache is on the server admins, and the clients can just enjoy. You might want to chesk whether a map is on the whitelist: [url]http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=41919[/URL]
as only whitelisted maps earns you towards levelling your perks. Then again, most custom servers state if they run only whitelisted content.
