Killing Floor

[dux]

Why is there no topic on this awesome game yet? I just bought it for £14.99 and been playing it with my friend for the past hour and a half. I'm finding it far more addictive and satisfying than left 4 dead. It's a combination of stalker, painkiller, left 4 dead and BrainBread I.E - AWESOME. It even has heavy metal play when the mutant zombies get close to you.

For those of you who don't know much about it it's a co op survival horror game based in the UK. So you can have your characters call each other wankers and muppets. You fight for your life against vastly higher numbers and if you manage to kill them all and you're able to make it to a resupply point you can equip yourself with better weapons, armour, grenades or whatever you can lay your hands on then get ready for the next horde. It sounds incredible simple, but it isn't. You think you have the situation under control with a huge shotgun and your buddy with an assault rifle but we just kept getting overwhelmed by the numbers that came at us, it was frantic shit your pants brilliance. And the fact that the game looks and sounds marvellous makes it's so enjoyable. The zombie noises and environment effects made it very atmospheric. And then the heavy metal comes in and you go fuck yeah, killing time

The only reason I heard about this game was someone on my steam list was playing it. Is this a source engine game?

Unreal 2004, It's by the guys who made Red Orchestra

I'm liking it. It's a lot more simplistic than L4D so the comparison isn't completely 1:1. It really is just wave based, park your ass in a room and unload until either them or you are dead. Welding doors is cool and offers some alternate strategy but largely you're just ripping through ammo and rearming in between waves.

The game is totally scalable for new enemies/weapons/maps. I hope the support is gonna be there.

Well, more of a "made by a mod team picked up by tripwire" seeing as the game had multiple releases out as a mod, and got picked up after the lead was asking tripwire devs about making it a RO mod, and they liked the game...

I bought it, but it has to update so I haven't got to play it yet (56k)... It angers me that after my preload is complete and I decrypt the files it decides it needs another 5%

seeing how much support RO got, tripwire will sure (if the sells are high enough) support this baby for a long time as well.
