just a heads up for anyone still on the fence or hasn't heard about the "other" co-op zombie shooter on steam, you will get a chance to try it out all next weekend, and those of us who have it will be getting more badass toys to pwnt them zeds with. including 7 (yes seven) new weapons, and 3 new maps from twi. they're going all out with a ton of content for this promo, and most likely another discount for newcomers.
25% off now confirmed, so should be $15 for the weekend deal.
anyone looking for somewhere good to play, feel free to stop by the address in sig anytime, and especially next weekend if you want to check out the game. it's set on hard atm but I'm probably going to tone it down to normal to mess around with the new stuff and take on the influx of noobs.
more info on the new stuff:
- 7 new weapons
- 3 new maps
- new "demolition" perk
- all level caps raised
- new specimen: "The Husk" (some sort of armed fireball-shooting ranged zed)
- 22 new achievements
new weapons:
- aa12 Auto Shottie
- mk17 SCAR
- m14 Enhanced Battle Rifle
- mp7 Medic Gun
- m79 Grenade Launcher
- m32 semi-auto Multiple Grenade Launcher
- proxy-triggered pipe bombs
new maps:
Bedlam: indoor map, insane asylum converted into a rave, twi release
Wyre: outdoor map, forest/woodlands open area, twi release
Waterworks: indoor map, underground water pumping facility, $5k grand prize winner from wave 1 grindhouse comp
also to be released alongside this update is the Defense Alliance total conversion mod, an old ut team battle mod completely redone for Killing Floor. never played it myself but I hear it has a huge following from its roots in ut2k3-4. trailer here.
the new weaps are actually a 3rd tier that tw created for the late-game money, also I guess to even out the skill/strat range and make room for the new perk class. level 6 perks are going to be getting all new starting weapons, and the trader interface is getting an entire overhaul to accomodate all the new items. also to be released is another "NightFall Character Pack", pic below.
IGN has also done a promo review for the update.
*Free weekend including all the new content is available for preload now, if you want to get it downloaded before the thursday 22nd-25th play time.
[TW]Wilsonam said:"Level Up" Free Content Pack for Killing Floor and Free Weekend
We are pleased to announce the Level Up Free Content pack for Killing Floor. This massive new content pack will be our largest free content pack to date and will be available October 22nd for anyone that owns Killing Floor. To celebrate and to allow as many people as possible to try it out, we will also be running a free weekend on Steam from Thursday October 22nd through Sunday October 25th. Full details on the pack will be available in a detailed preview article on IGN on Tuesday October 20th, so watch for that one.
