I know this game features more on multiplayer, but if the singleplayer/coop part is good and makes actually "fun", i'll buy this game for sure. Otherwise this would be another of those multiplayer games I play very rarely, because I suck in online games.

I don't know if it will make me not buy it, but I will have to think twice if class caps are removed, or somehow being circumvented by unlocks (like scopes on riffles, full automatic rifles, SMG's/STG's with accuracy buffs)

Perhaps what might be more interesting would be "What will make your friends avoid buying this game?"

what will make you stop playing this game is phaps a more likely scenario.
and it's not clear (though it hardly matters) if responses are expected to include HoS facts or percieved fears.

I have to say when a fair few ppl here had doubts about HoS i was convinced it would be an excellent title that i'll love and was fairly vocal to that effect - now nearly everyone seems very much behind it i've started wondering if some aspects of it won't be to my tastes.
Could be cos it no longer needs ppl sticking up for it, or that i find automatic, almost competitive enthusiam off-putting - or maybe i just like to think i don't run with the pack.

However where i might agree with some is that i'm genuinely anti any ranking system that give more experienced players a persistant advantage - however slight it is said to be.
If such a system serves to exhasperate imbalance or stacking on servers, i would find that an issue in playing the mp portion.

no one uses the lame skins. I cant remember the last time a say the guy from the ball running around ;)

that's because I don't play enough killing floor :p

as a note, I have seen other people in the oz servers with the ball guy, so it's not all bad :D

the DLC was more of a fundraiser...and, to be honest, if you don't like them that's personal preference. I know of many, many people who like many of them.

Anyways, I can't imagine HoS getting any vanity DLC, so you are in luck.

well I have not played as much since bonepile servers went offline.

oh and back on topic, nothing will stop be buying the game. even if it meant I had to look like that "booth babe" we all love.

Well... to reply to the question in the topic of this thread.... if someone gives me at least $1 million bucks not to buy this game well I wont.
I couldn't stand being so rich and not having this game :( no, I don't think anything will stop the majority of us here, on these forums, from buying HoS.
But I think dogbadger is right about the stats. Ranking systems are bad, and tempt people to "protect their K/D ratio" and all that bull :(

I would take the money and then ask a friend to buy the game for me as a gift!:D

they can be fine if the benefits they reap are temporary - for example if anyone can gain suppression resistance during a 3 match campaign if they do well enough - but everyone starts a new game from the same point, with same equipment and skills.

My fear is a game that will have a community of experienced and dedicated players who will already have an large advantage over new players (more so than most shooters by virtue of a play style more difficult to initially get to grips with)
There will be a risk that the population will decline if any potential new guys feel that on top of this they have a distinct disadvantage in equipment and abilities - plus, phaps, a demoralizing stat system that spells out for them exactly how much they are getting their arses kicked.

ranking and stats resort players into camping. Why not leaving k/d stats out at all?
