You forgot the big selling point of multiplayer campaigns that they have not released in any form that actually works.

What? There are tons of multiplayer campaign servers. Most of the most popular servers have campaigns.


And yeah, a lot of people assumed that RO2 was subpar because they were too focused on Killing Floor and it's sucessor to give a poo poo about a stillborn game. Let's hope they don't screw up Killing Floor 2.

The game will be much more terrifying if monsters actually run at you instead of walking really fast.

I do kind of wish that they would take out the leveling up system, or make it faster this time. I'm all for having gun unlocks tied to levels, but having straight-up stat boosts that are necessary to play on higher difficulties is kinda bad.

It makes for a good carrot, yeah, but I'd rather have my chances of winning tied to just personal activities and not helped/hindered by upgrades.

I found them interest ways to play with the diffculty levels without turning the whole thing into a joke. How would you implement an Hell on earth dificulty level without the levels?

No, it was weird. The beta was fun but then the full launch was worse in almost every way somehow. It took them a while but for the past year or so it's returned to being super fun to play as long as you play non-vanilla gameplay modes (realism/classic). Maybe the vanilla RO2 is actually good now as well but I just never take it off realism servers.
People nowadays play Rising Storm because it's a much better game in every sense of the word.

Mash posted:

Yup, that's pretty much it. Can't have us console gamers hampering their flawless PC gaming experience! :v:

It's a worrying sign because i don't think Tripwire ever ported a game to consoles and Tripwire is incredibly loving incompetent so while KF2 is showing tons of good things that simple thing might cause tremendous bugs and glitches.

This is the company that won an Unreal competition with Red Orchestra, released the game and then admitted a few months after releasing RO2 that they didn't know what people liked about the original game, which is why they added level unlocks, crosshairs and maps that ignored balanced maps in an attempt to create maps that looked realistic (i.e. the opposite of RO1).

They also released a beta version of RO2 that was better than the release version :psyduck:

So there's plenty of reason for people to be a bit worried. I'm looking forward to KF2 but i sure as hell won't be pre-ordering it.

Is it weird I'm okay with this? Then again I enjoyed Op Flashpoint so brutal realism kicking your rear end unfairly is just something I've been shellshocked into accepting. Rising Storm was much better though.

And sometimes it works for you. Sometimes you get the laser-guided airstrike. In RO2 I sniped from a bridge by the German spawn in Stalingrad and racked up ~30 kills as desperate Russian players tried to rush across the train tracks to cover. :mrgw:

Well, Grain Elevator was a merciless slaughter of Germans, unless they managed to crawl inside the elevator, at which point it became a slaughter of Russians and Pavlov's house is super poo poo, done on porpuse because it was totes historical. The trainyard map is also terrible.

They just shut off their brains during the creation of RO2's maps. It's even worse when you look at Rising Storm and it's clear that someone over there knows how to make really good maps. Where the hell were they during RO2?

I want an angry college communist skin as well for the hilarity of watching Thatcher and Reagan fight zeds alongside their most hated ideological enemy.

I really dislike how first person sprinting animation looks like you are running really fast but your actual movement speed doesn't match that. It's like running on treadmill.

Edit: It looks fine in third person though.

Finally, as a longtime zerker, it was comforting to see that the rest of the team still focuses on whatever trash zed the zerker is currently running towards. Why thank you lv6 Sharpshooter, my katana would definitely not have been able to handle that single Clot I just ran halfway across the map towards, thanks for popping its head just before I get there :wave:

Wanna play this game.
