Whoever asked earlier, the MP5M is a different healing ammo count than the MP7M so you can switch and keep firing, but the drop-glitch is still in the game so I don't know why the gently caress anyone would do this.

Wait what? Last time I played they had fixed the drop glitch, is it a different one than the original?

The Husk cannon is awesome. You can't carry it and the flamethrower at the same time but I don't think anyone would really want to. It works exactly as the Husk does. That is, you can rapid fire small fireballs that do a nice amount of damage or you can charge up a big one that will explode and basically turn you into a firey Demolitions expert. The drawback is that it's slow to charge and the small fireballs are good but firing off a lot of them will obscure your vision a little bit with all the fire and smoke they bellow out.

Oh, and it seems to hurt Skrakes. A lot.

Also this. It annoyed me so much that Firebugs spawn with their secondary (and less useful) weapon at level 6 when all the other classes get to spawn with actual useful things.

If you drop a medic gun and then pick it up it instantly recharges to 100% healing. It's definitely working for both MP5 and 7.

The Husk cannon is indeed fantastic. Scrakes are now your bitch. It does as much damage as an explosive but Scrakes dont have a resistance to fire so they go down hard.

Whoa the Claymore is slow. It's literally too slow to chain its own zed-time (depending on which random attack animations you get).

All the new guns are great! The MP5 is so satisfying to use, the revolver is badass, and the Husk Cannon is just awesome (expensive though!) Plus the Christmas zeds are my favorite reskins. Good update. :dance:

M4/M203:

Locked to full auto since the button that would change modes fires grenades instead.

Grenades do have a safety that they won't explode if you shoot one within ~5 feet of yourself. Grenades still do damage if they peg something and don't explode.

How effective is it against actual Husks? They have a pretty high fire resistance if I recall correctly...

Also anyone mind posting the prices on the new guns?

I'm setting up a dedicated server on my home connection as I write this. Once I get it going I'll post up the IP on here, as well as the OP.

For now, taking into account the new player base, I'll be using Normal difficulty. If enough people want hard or Suicidal or even HoE I'll probably make another one or change the first one out.

Stock maps, no mutators.

Looks like the Claymore doesn't replace the Katana. It does replace the Axe though, also I heard it stuns the big guys like the Axe does and I haven't tried it yet.

Yeah I ran into a slight problem with some of the files missing, so gently caress it. Leetservers has 6-slot hosting going for 7.50 USD/month, so I'm just going to rent one of those. If any people want more servers and would like to help me out with this to get some real goon servers going, message me and maybe we can work something out.

I can host 2 or 3 without a problem, so I doubt that's neccessary unless you want a lot of mods or something. Of course, if you're feeling generous, I won't object. ;)

Actually I think most of them are pretty lovely. The M4203 (the Demo version) is more expensive then the M32, has like 8 grenades for the launcher, the gun is stuck in full auto and has insane recoil. I don't get what the combat shotgun is supposed to be used for either, it's worse then the normal shotgun for Cannon fodder because it's a small clip and horrible reload, and worse then the Hunting shotgun for raw burst damage as well. Magnum is decent but is overall worse then the Handcannons.

I'd like to get varying difficulties for goons to mess around in, really. I went ahead and got 1 6-slot server, and I'll probably set that one to Normal difficulty. If you'd like to get some Hard, Suicidal, or HoE servers going, that'd be awesome for all the veterans in the thread.

Really the only reason to get one is to set up different difficulties.

And the server's been ordered, I'll post complete informations information here once I get the confirmation that everything is set up and running, but here's the rough details:

Hosted in Texas
6 Players
Normal Difficulty (For new goons, Can change it if necessary)
Stock Maps (If there's any maps you want added let me know and I'll see what I can do :))

Just going from the hearsay in this thread, the claymore sounds crummy as well, hitting harder than the fireaxe but swinging even slower.

However, considering how overpowered the husk cannon sounds it might make up for the rest of them.

Um, I can do that by running multiple instances on the same box. :geno:
Could easily do 3 different ones at 3 different difficulties.

But if you insist on ordering one don't let me stop you, just saying I already have what's needed. :)

You're right, forgot about that.

I blame finals week :downs:

Go ahead and set them up if you want, and post up the info whenever you have them ready, and I'll add the. To the OP.

I'll talk to Russian about getting admin rights to the group to post up events and announcements for goons. So all of you make sure to join the Steam group to get announcements when other goons are playing!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbVCODrdBaE

It looks like this time around there's some more "KF-y" christmas songs instead of just wholesale christmas tunes (though a few of those are still in), but I think this would make a good addition to any zombie-killing christmas playlist.

Also regarding the new weapons, I've been tooling about with them on solo hard, as a medic I'm really liking the new MP-whatever. It seems that even the briefest of clicks consumes at least two bullets, so I've been having the most success just rapidly clicking while aiming at groups of zeds and watching them die. Scrakes can be killed in less than a clip without them being able to hit you, FPs can be killed in a clip and a half and will probably get one hit in, I was too out of practice to make it to the pat in any of my solo fooling around, though. It's worth noting that although the clip is loving huge the reload time is long and you don't carry many clips, so it might be less useful for when you are actually being a medic, but great when your friends died because you were reloading.

Also the husk gun seems really powerful and the charge-up reminds me of the tau cannon from HL1, which owns bones.
