killing floor

I pre-loaded the other day and steam won't let me play, it only gives me the option to purchase.

Servers are very busy right now.

So this game is actually pretty damn fun.

I have it, but being just about done with MFGG I won't keep track of anything.

I can give a few tips:

- The Fleshpound has a weak spot on the top of his head. If he gets in your face, shoot him when he attacks with either dual pistols, any automatic weapon, or a chainsaw and his head will be blown apart. He'll continue to attack for several seconds before dying.

-The Patriarch's weakspot is apparently his big eye.

-When you join in the middle of a wave, you will have to wait until it ends before you can start playing, make sure you aren't in spectator mode when the next wave starts.

-Firebugs have grenades that set nearby things on fire.

-A raged Scrake is often more dangerous than a raged Fleshpound, but is much rarer.

-A Scrake can be stunned by melee weapons. Surrounding him usually will make him helpless.

-The Scrake's head hitbox is above one of his shoulders in multiplayer. This is a bug.

this game is kind of okay.

Played with Pikablu just now and I like this game.

The class and level system is alright. Killing zombies is really well done, too. Darkness actually means something since you can't use your best weapons in it without going semi-blind which makes it more tactical.
The boss at the end is a great addition but for us he kinda ran away for minutes only to show up and die in less than a few seconds. Overall fun though.

But I don't like how much focus there is on the trader. It doesn't make sense that she warps all over the place. Her being there doesn't even make sense at all actually. They shouldn't make it predictable when the next wave arrives because, let's face it, waves of zombies aren't predictable by seconds.

Melee weapons are fun AND actually useful. I hope they're like this in L4d2 too.

starting to wish i took screenshots now
i got the grenade launcher and got drunk off of blood and on the second shot i blew myself up in a true demoman fashion
awesome game
too bad it's not free forever

Alright so I played some Killing Floor yesterday for a while, didn't get to experience most things but I'm going to post what has happened so far alright here you go man:

TO BEGIN I checked the controls and the only things I changed were "toggle crouch" to ctrl, grenades to mouse4 and reload to mouse5. I picked the westlondon map seeing as how in most youtubes I saw it in it looked pretty cool so why not. I picked the gas mask army dude w/ big helmet and the commando perk even though 5% didn't seem very useful. I WAS ON MY WAY except that I had to wait like 5 minutes for the map to load.

Okay so it loaded and I'm looking around, get acquainted with stuff and noticing that my character runs kinda slow but I was alright with that. I saw some of those normal tan zombies that I forgot the name of and just started shootan with the pistol. WHEN SUDDENLY I forgot to check my back and some zombie hit me and my screen got all blurry for a while but I fell back and got some k1llz before I walked backfirst into some fat guy who hit me and turned my screen into blur and then I got surrounded in 3 seconds and died.

I didn't see a "try again" or "restart level" so I just clicked and it started loading another map for another glorious 5 minutes and I wound up in the labs level. It started out alright, I learned the usefulness of doors and I was able to survive until the 2nd wave. I bought a Bullpup which according to my perk had some nice 5% boosts but then I got surrounded by another wave of zombies and the blur turned my screen into a slush of brown and black so I died.

Again I loaded the next map and this time decided on the support perk so I went to this rural map and I made due, I found out that some enemies still try to attack even if you blow their heads off and I found a machete even though I never used it. I learned that open areas are great for fighting and I could have just hanged out near the truck but I needed boolit and thought shelter would work better so I fell back to the trader at the butcher house. It was at this time that I noticed I kept confusing mouse4 for mouse5 so I wasted all my grenades trying to reload.

Oh yeah and a boomer vomited on me and unlike L4D where your screen turns green and zombies come this boomer had POISON BARF and actual blinding bile instead of a green filter. Anyways I got to the house and my first thought was "gee it sure is superdark in here" but I cleared the first wave and went to buy wepon

I got a deagle from the nice lady and something else but I forgot what and went inside the house in a dark spot. Some invisible things started to come at me but I had my HANDCANNON which was all but useless seeing as how I brilliantly picked a dark spot to camp in and the flashlight was on the pistol that had half a clipazine left.

I had the choice of either "see zombies" or "fire blindly" so I tried to make my way outside but I got swarmed and died another blur-induced death.

NEXTMAP was the mansion one, I found some kevlar on the floor but it didn't seem to do much, I just screwed around until the wave ended and made my way to the trader over in the caves. I bought the deagle and the winchester and had some fun with that rifle until I started getting swarmed and MANAGED TO ESCAPE!!!!! only I went the other way and I got attacked by some 1 foot tall things with knives for limbs and I didn't have melee/any ammo loaded so they slowed me down and I got swarmed and died.


So yeah. That's my experience with Murdering Ground. I'll be playing it again soon seeing as how I seem to be strongly attracted to gettin' mad at video games.

I am highly enjoying this game. I can't see myself shelling out 15bux for it but it's a bundle of fun


Anyway, predictably enough I played field medic right off the bat and found it is the only thing I will ever be good at


ravan + field medic perk + medic gun + mouse3 = credit

We should play some of this tonight, I haven't played it since I bought it, and the new content seems pretty cool.

haven't tried it yet :|

I'd like to play with some m***s tonight, yes.

You're probably going to need to play easy mode once or twice to level your perks up (Commando has to do x damage with the Bullpup/AK47/SCAR and kill a certain number of Stalkers aka invisible women) before you can play on normal by yourself.

As for the enemies you've encountered:

-Bloats ("Boomers") can't vomit on you if they don't have a head. Shoot its head and keep your distance in case he explodes.

-If you can't move, turn around and make sure a clot isn't holding you. Clots (generic tan zombie) can grab you and hold you in place.

-Get armor asap. It absorbs Bloat vomit almost completely and will come in handy later.

Expect this as you progress:

-As I said, Stalkers are invisible until they get close. Commandos can see them as red flashy silhouettes.

- Do NOT underestimate Crawlers (spider things) These are just as frustrating to veterans as they are to newcomers. Kill them as soon as you can.

-If a Siren (hideous screaming thing) is nearby, kill anything holding you in place. Getting caught between a horde of clots and a siren is a death sentence.

-I already gave tips for the Scrake (Chainsaw guy) and Fleshpound (Giant cyborg with club fists) See last page.

-I honestly have no tips for the Husk (flame-shooting guy.) He's relatively weak on easy though.

-You will probably die on your first encounter with the Patriarch. When he says "One in the pipe," he's shooting a rocket, when he says "This is the end of you" he's using the chaingun. Both will kill you in seconds if you aren't careful.

Dracon

Hackett and I are just about to play
get on steam and join us :D

Oh alright, I'll keep that in mind next time I play.



Also @ Mechabowser: sorry but I'm not at home and on the laptop, so I can't.

We need a list of all people who are gonna try it this weekend and when. I definitely want to play this, but it needs to be scheduled because I also have school work to do.

Bloats- EZest enemy in game
Clot- Screwed me the first time but no problem really. Fun to kill with an axe.
Invisiladies- Would be difficult but bad habit of walking infront of waves of regular enemies
Spider things- I hack you in pieces or just machine gun you.
Machetemen- Not too bad but can't outrun em easily so shoot before healing
Chainsaw doods- GRRRNGGRGRR I am dangerous
Flamethrowerdood- Annoying because ranged attacks and fire is bad too heal after being hit immediately lol
Fleshpound- I dunno let's just WAIT WHERE DID MY TEAM GO COME BAAACK AAAAGHHHH IM DEAD
Patriarch- Lol I didn't see you yet

patriarch - no armor? UR DEAD LOL

Demolitions perk with the 6-round grenade launcher (M32, I think it was) is the best thing ever.

You take out Fleshpounds, solo, on normal difficulty, in two grenades, and the patriarch goes down if he stops over 3 pipe bombs.

Aughhh I love Demolitions so much.

I like shotgun guy he shotguns things and then they are dead

yet oddly enough my highest level perk is sharpshooter. Headshots are too easy to get I guess. :/


also salvador is ****ing stupid no put that mother ****ing chainsaw away ****ttttttt
