Killing Floor - Christmas Event 2011 and Free Weekend - Dec 8th > 11th

Gimpymoo · 8 Dec 2011 at 00:42

Have posted these in the KF thread but also thought to post them here for those who may not think of playing the game otherwise. Try it in co-op, it is AWESOME.

Free Weekend will likely start in the afternoon of the 8th and will ultimately tie in with a "Weekend Deal".

Twisted Christmas 2 Content Pack

Tripwire continues its long standing tradition of massive free content packs with the Twisted Christmas 2 Content Pack.

The content pack features an all new level, Ice Cave, as well as brand new Twisted Christmas music to get you in the holiday spirit. But wait - there's more! Santa is bringing even more gifts - the Winter Weapon Pack, with seven brand new weapons complete with new achievements, free to everyone who owns the game. Returning from last year's event we have Christmas themed specimens replacing all of the regular baddies, Santa’s Evil Lair, Christmas themed achievements and the chance for those who missed unlocking the special Baddest Santa character last year to grab him this time around.

Special DLC Character "Baddest Santa":

Complete the Twisted Christmas achievements during the event and unlock the special DLC Character, Baddest Santa!

New Map

Ice Cave - Evil Santa Clause has retreated underground to a sprawling Ice Cave tunnel system. Battle it out with all of Santa's Twisted Christmas minions in this all new level.

New Weapons

44 Magnum Revolver - The Sharpshooter gets a shiny .44 Magnum revolver - good for dual-wielding for even more stopping power.

M-4 Carbine - The Commando picks up a US Army surplus M-4 Carbine, with a nice, new red dot sight fitted.

M-4 Carbine With Grenade Launcher - For Demolitions, we've removed the sight and added the under-slung M-203 single shot grenade launcher. Wonderful all-purpose weapon!

Claymore Sword - Berserkers can go all Scottish, with a massive two-handed Claymore. Perfect for the holiday season...

Combat Shotgun - Support Specialists can get their hands on a semi-automatic combat shotgun.

MP5M Medic Sub Machine Gun - Following on from Horzine's earlier experiments with healing darts, they have now provided the Medic with an

MP5 machine pistol, mounting a dart-firing device.

Husk Gun Fireball Launcher - Ripped from the arm of a dead Husk the Firebug gets his asbestos-covered hands on the fireball launching Huskgun!!! Charge this baby up and watch the zeds explode in a ball of flames!

The new weapons are pretty decent

Really enjoyed the demo's m4 + underslung grenade launcher. Low ammo though...

badcompany · 9 Dec 2011 at 10:12

The voices are awesome. It's meant to be campy/amusing.

"Wayne Rooney's smarter than you!"

How can you not like a game that includes that line??

I laughed so much when i first heard someone yell that, that I got killed

I find them as cringeworthy as badcompany does, tbh. When I first bought the game, I frowned when I heard the trader's voice acting. It's awful.

Still, you don't have to hear it very often and the gameplay more than makes up for it.

FrenchTart · 9 Dec 2011 at 12:55

They're definitely cringe-worthy but they get a pass from me as they're not american voice actors attempting to do cockney

This game is DEFINATELY worth it. This game would be worth it even if it was priced at an AAA game RRP.

The voice acting is so terrible to the point that it is hilarious, which is the effect I think Tripwire were trying to accomplish. However the gameplay more than makes up for it.

I can guarantee you will have plenty of laughs with this game, especially with a few mates

Bought it, as ever impulse buy! bloody steam lol

1 DAY LEFT

wtf?

Daichin · 9 Dec 2011 at 22:07

^ Continues till 1PM Pacific on Sunday. Isn't that like, 5am Saturday morning? I'm not sure though, bad with timezones.

Was giving this a try earlier on and it seems pretty good although as mentioned the voice acting is a little cringe worthy.

Having problems with it conflicting with my speedtouch router now although honestly I'm not sure what the speedtouch doesn't conflict with.

It's definitely worth a try, though.
