I just hit my 200 hour point for L4D2 (xbox and PC combined) and have been following posts about The Killing Floor.
For those of you who played it, know that I love L4D and have put hours upon hours into the series. Would Killing Floor be for me?
If you get it during a week-end deal, sure it's fun if you like L4D/L4D2, but it's much more level grinding oriented than L4D and with less story than Borderlands, so it might get frustrating if that's not your thing.

I don't like it because it's not cooperative like L4D in the sense that you must rely on your other teammates or you absolutely WILL fail.

In Killing Floor, it's a game of L4D survival by yourself with 3 other people, if that makes sense.
This is dead wrong. I'd like to see you survive on harder difficulties with your teammates having their heads up their asses. lol

I think you would like Killing Floor if you liked L4D. It's more of the same type of thing except with a few nuances that are strictly true to Killing Floor:

- Monster wave survival : you don't try to get from 1 safehouse to the next while progressing through the level, instead you simply bunker down and survive waves of mutated monsters.

- Character classes : Killing Floor is a "Soft RPG" in a sense. Meaning that you will have several classes that you can choose to play as and they also gain experience and unlock new strengths and perks.

- Money : Yes, you make money, go buy nice shiny guns with it!

- Store : I said money, which means there is a store! Between waves, a store opens for about 2 mins or so (depends on difficulty I believe) where you can stock up on gear, ammo and weapons.

To some people, Killing Floor seems like a rip off of Left 4 Dead. I don't think it copies it that extensively. It does provide it's own formula that makes it stand apart enough to make it look, feel and play differently and give you a new play experience.

it's great, go get it...NOW quick!!!!

seriously though, it's a great game but it's very different from L4D, so, IMO you can't really compare it.

not going to say enything feature about it because it's already been said...

so, conclusion: BUY IT

I would definitely recommend it.

I'd start off with either Medic (Fast and Tough with good self-healing,quite forgiving) or Support Specialist (Can carry lots of guns so you can experiment)
