That's absolutely fine. Our servers are here for the OcUK community (mostly :p ).

IPs/etc are all in www.linktart.co.uk

NOTE: Current clicking a tab to connect does NOT work. Copy+paste the IP instead.

OcUK 2 is now passworded.

Password is "linktart"

Was going to buy this on release though decided to stick with l4d.
Enjoying this free trial.
Get the impression its best to move towards the next shop. i.e not hang about to much/keep moving.
Also the game seems to slow down at certain points i.e. like slow motion (audio as well)...i assume this is intentional?

I believe that's intentional, yeah. Gives you a moment to calm down in the thick of it and perhaps work out wtf you're going to do :)

I have to admit, I kind of like it. It doesn't care about graphics - it just tries to be a fun game - and it succeeds - so far.
 
Just had a few goes - I use my laptop and laptop pad to control :D

So things are a bit tough - my first question is; how do I turn on a crosshair? (or is that not an option, dont mind if not, but dont want to be missing out if there is)

Graphics are nice, real sense of panic at times... sort of defend a place at all costs mentality.... it seems OK if you can get a room and get them to come face on at you... but one level we got caught in a corridor and they came left, right, from the walkway above and from the walls below.... got butchered by a chainsaw in that one.

Exactly the game ive been waiting to play, id like to learn more about each class - i chose a welder class but could never work out how to lock the doors together.

Also ive used just 3 weapons... handgun, Bullpup and Axe! Which was ace rushing at some zombie with.

Would the solo game give me the story behind this sudden outbreak of mutants? :D

Glad you're enjoying it :)

I'm planning on jumping on the 12 player server at about 8pm. They are extremely full at the moment so you might need to try to reconnect a few times. I may extend it to a 16 player game if we move to a more open map...

In answer to your other questions:

Crosshair - there is none. Aside from the zoom on the bullpup :)

Classes - the welder/support class used to be the most powerful (and may well still be for all I know). These guys are insane with shotguns. I personally mostly play a medic. You can still do reasonable damage with the hunting shotgun but the improved healing rate and movement speed give you massively better survivability. They may have changed it now but on one level I played I could outrun the Patriarch with my level 5 medic perk :)

Useful tips -

Press "Q" to do a quick self-heal. You don't need to switch to your med syringe to do this

Be careful with grenades. You can't kill your team with them but you can really screw yourself over very easily.

On the first wave, spend a lot of time running around the map looking for weapons/ammo. Try to use your knife mostly for this wave. This way you'll probably start the second wave already with a bullpup, shotgun or two pistols and a decent amount of ammo and cash, making it easier to get a decent weapon by wave 3. Of course, if you're one of the more kick-ass fighting classes you might want to ignore this and just get blasting :)
 
Just to add to what Aekeron said, all weapons have ironsight or some sort of scope for aiming (default RMB) so thats why theres no crosshair.

In terms of classes there is no weak one, most have their own uses in certain circumstances. The weakest if I had to say so would be the firebug class, it has had little updated via patches (no top tier weapon for instance) and the flamer can struggle via the harder enemies and eats through ammo quickly but its a great support class when everything just needs to BURN! and pre patch it was my favorite class.

Just had a good 12player match (not ocuk its constantly full), first time playing >6 people and its pretty epic the last few rounds ended up with 3-4 of us left just getting swarmed, we were lucky to finish as 1 or 2 more fleshpounds and we would have been out of powerful ammo.

Maybe i'll setup a 3rd KF server for now...

Though I'm a bit concerned that if the people new to the game play on a server of more than 6 people they'll not get perk progress :/

Yeah i know what you mean, I'm roughly lvl3 or so in all my perks, enough to get decent benefits from them, so playing on a modded server doesnt really matter to me. But saying that most people playing on the free weekend wont really give a crap if their perks are progressing. We should maybe try and get an ocuk game going later if your willing to pop a password on the server for a few hours.

First game i connected to last night was 30 man...most using free weekend trial. Quite funny seeing 30 people bubbling about not quite sure what we were doing.
 
trying to download this, keeps either giving me a logon box saying my steam ticket has timed out or steam servers are too busy :(
