WWAUT - Holding Out

[Yoshiro]

As many here at Tripwire bundle themselves and their children up for a chilly All Hallow's Eve this weekend in search of candy and fun, I bring word of a location not so far away. While we are not running any themed events this year for Killing Floor 2, one of our internal testing maps (that we have used to test the public version of the SDK and its features) has come a long way and has turned into something we feel the community will enjoy. We here at Tripwire welcome you to the Farmhouse.

​

This map takes you into a dark and claustrophobic night. A misty, dimly-lit old farmhouse, nestled in the woods far from civilization. Can you and your team survive a night at the Farmhouse?

The team has also been looking at the community feedback and bug reports. While much of that is still an ongoing process, I can comment that Code has started working on top community issues, including where players are able to block zeds targeting others, as well as the full firepower of this battle station... (otherwise known as the ability of the Nuke skill to exterminate most of the Zeds on a map in one go. Fun, but not as intended!)

We are also pleased to announce the winners of the entries submitted for the Polycount Guns

I need to know this as well, I hope it is out before Fallout 4 is released but I understand if it isn't.

Still no release date? Guys it's been 2 months since InD. We're not doing that again, are we?

Does that mean that the map will be released tomorrow and the other 3 will be released with the rest of the update? Or am i wrong? Please answer.

Thank you for confirming this is being looked at.

Any word on other balance issues that the community has brought up? For instance the ability to simply twirl around the zwei in stab and drag the point through everything killing them all? Is the ability to flinch-lock FPs by repeated stabs intended? Is tap-firing MWG and fire weapons rapidly supposed to drastically increase damage? Is firing the MWG near the enemy's feet with splash supposed to do more damage than directly hitting the zed? Was armor repair on full health allies intended?

The zwei has created some very vocal criticism, and even though some of its behaviors appear to be unintended to me, nothing has been said about it from TWI allowing the people crying "pay2win" to control the conversation.

Part of me hopes to see hedgehogs on that farm.

 

[ZzDe0]

When will the map be out? Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is a weekend. Devs never release updates on days they don't work, then there's no one around if something goes wrong.

Nope! Mwa ha ha ha ha!

Also I was hoping to hear what the Gunslinger grenade is or if it is even a grenade at all... Screw the guys that complained about that ninja outfit Yoshiro, there are people that need a hero!

 

[Rocker Fox]

That farmhouse really captures has a "Night of the Living Dead" feel to it, can't wait to give it a spin.

Also can't wait for gunslinger to come out, that is going to be really cool.

 

[Survii]

The guy that won "best skin set" deserves it, I'll be rocking the war-torn M79 skin till the day I die

 

[Eight Foot Robot]

So im guessing the Farmhouse and Blackwoods (Wyre 2.0) are unrelated but forest themed maps? so we will have 2 maps this update? that is excellent!

Oh, and i REALLY like the Van Albert's set. would go great with the gunslinger perk!

 

[FoolishNinja]

Any more infos about the new sound improvements?
And what about a map in daylight?
The only map in daylight is Outpost and Catacombs, well youre in catacombs tho

A shame still continue selling this game! Totally abandoned... There is more people playing KF1! Several friends asked me if they should buy KF2... I answered: NO! I would like to have my money back!

Here you go, so long as you're within two weeks of purchase and with less than two hours of playtime, you're golden.
