Killing Floor 2 Early Access [Apr 21, 2015, 2:00 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Tripwire Interactive today announced that its highly anticipated co-op sci-fi horror FPS game, KILLING FLOOR 2, is available now for PC via Steam Early Access for $29.99 (US), ₤19.99 (UK) and €26.99 (EU). KILLING FLOOR 2 is the sequel to the highly successful 2009 PC title, KILLING FLOOR, which has sold over 3 million units since its release. With an abundant amount of weapons to choose from, such as the Double-barrel Boomstick and the ruthless Pulverizer, players can team up with friends in up to 6-player co-op to better their chances of survival or play solo if they dare.
“With the Early Access release of Killing Floor 2, we’re starting with a really fun core game,” said John Gibson, President of Tripwire Interactive. “We’re looking forward to dialing in that fun with community feedback during Early Access, and of course expanding that experience with awesome free content!”
At the Steam Early Access launch, players will be able to dive into a fully functional, highly polished subset of KILLING FLOOR 2 content, including:
- • 3 non-linear levels – The dark streets of Burning Paris, the ice covered Outpost, and a re-imagined version of the original Biotics Lab
- • 4 perks – Berserker, Support, Commando and Medic classes
- • 27 weapons – Ranging from shotguns to assault rifles to crazy makeshift hybrid weapons!
- • 11 deadly and terrifying Zeds – All determined to destroy you
- • 7 playable characters - Including fan favorites Mr. Foster and Constable Rob Briar as well as a new female character – Ana Larive
- • 1 new boss character – Enter Hans Volter and his arsenal of devastating weapons and attacks
- • Mod SDK supporting custom level creation
Tripwire is known for listening to and engaging with their fans and it will be no different with KILLING FLOOR 2. The purpose of the Steam Early Access period is to gather feedback from players, both experienced and new, in order to continue to hone and refine the gameplay balance to provide the best possible experience for the full official launch. Tripwire will iterate based on community feedback with goals that include adding new maps, monsters, perks, weapons, game types and more as leading up to the Full Release.
Players who purchase Killing Floor 2 during Early Access will be entitled to a breadth of free content that they will be able to carry over into Full Release, as well as more free content at Full Release and beyond – further fulfilling the legacy of offering robust content that Tripwire maintains with its community.

I like how they throw in all those quotes from various news outlets when the game is just giving early access now, lol.
I'm sure they were talking about the alpha version when they talked about how great fun it was???? Lol... marketing...
There was a closed beta in early April; keys were given out to the press then.

Sven from Larian did a postmortem for D:OS at GDC, he in full said mag/big name sites are a total waste of money, very little return. It is about Youtubers, Joe, Total etc. He was very clear the old guard is a rip off for sales, no one cares about them any more.
But not to be too confused, even though he doesn't like meta-critic, he surrendered that the better the score the better sales, he has always seen a correlation.
I guess this will alleviate tomorrow and in the coming days. I got to play one match earlier. I loved it. Besides the running animations when carrying a melee weapon or pistol (which look terrible!), the game is fantastic. Those weapon reload animations and recoil are awesome. I look forward to more content.

I own the original Killing Floor, but I couldn't get into it at all. And I say that as a huge L4D fan.
I wonder if this one does anything different? Certainly looks like they're taking some cues from L4D: I think I saw "tank" and "witch" zombies in that trailer.
Everything in the trailer was also in KF1, which has been around for 10 years now (L4D came out a few years later than the mod for UT). You saw a fleshpound, which is a bigass scary dude with spinning blades on his arms that walks slowly until you shoot him and piss him off. And the siren, which does a PBAoE armor-ignoring scream attack that also defuses grenades. They're nothing like the tank and witch... And a fun factoid, Left 4 Dead originally copied the siren, but the 'Screamer' didn't make it to full release.

The eula is basically saying if they dont like your mods or what you are doing in game they will remove your game from steam with no refunds
hmmm, I guess that's the same as being banned for cheating but under what pretext would they not like your mods? Replacing the monsters in the game with women and children?
Than again it's an EA game so people should have known better and don't expect a fully functional bug free game.
