Sometimes when you achieve a particularly nice kill, you get a little slow-mo effect that both doubles as an "ooh, nifty" and a bullet time that lets you pick off your next shots with more accuracy. It's a cool feature.

I can't rule out you going crazy, though. ;)
I like the idea of multiplayer bullet time, actually. It does work surprisingly well. (Well, apart from the poor sod stuck welding who has to watch slow motion welder action) I hope more games involve it in future.

SLOW MOTION WELDER ACTION?!

Man, I've always wanted to weld stuff in slow motion.

The trader is the cause of the apocalypse!

She realised that she could monopolise the highly lucrative market of "making money by selling guns to soldiers who magically get money from using said guns to shoot monsters." If she was the only person around who was actually selling weaponry. So she snuck into the labs, unleashed the virus, and then watched as all her competition was killed. Intelligently she then proceeded to steal all their stock so that she could resell it to the soldiers when they arrived.

That woman is a genius, a horrible, evil, genius. And she keeps making lurid sexual remarks to the guys so they wont suspect her, as after all nothing disarms a man as fast a sexual innuendos.

Side note, killing floor is amazing fun. <3 that game.

The game is a lot of fun, and I thought that it distinguished itself from L4D quite well. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be serious or not though, as it is horror, but the trader and the dialogue between teammates are all jabs at humor. One problem I had with it was, that in some maps, after most of a wave has been killed, it gets hard to find the remaining enemies. And you can't enter the trader's pad until all the enemies are killed.

You can play Killing Floor on a laptop. I'm not at home now and have only expirienced it on Lowest graphics. Iffin' you can run UT04, you can run KF.

Its an enjoyable game with friends but I really don't like the constant comparison to L4D.

The only thing the two games have in common is zombies and co-op, other than that they feel completely different to play and I enjoy both equally.

The difference between L4D and KF are actually so far that I am glad I bought both of them. L4D doesn't have to horrific atmosphere. KF, has tons of maps, that are custom off their website and an SDK out allowing more content. Already I've got 30 maps I've downloaded from their site. Some good, some bad but all are lengthening of gameplay. The perk system gives anyone with an RPG itch the need to scratch it. Sandbox allows lots of shenanigans to occur with your friends (Get 5 friends start up a server with nothing but fleshpounds on suicidal and change it to 130 spawn then try and stay alive the longest). There are always little things people will miss that are truly fun and deviating of the norm. Good review though !

I wonder if the trader knows the merchant from resident evil 4...
It's a family business.
They get your basic military/survival gear from surplus, dirt-cheap, and sell it at a premium on-location at ground zero, when you need it most and just can't refuse.
It's really quite profitable.

Am i the only one that relised in this review, he misses two enemies?

He forgot the Bloater, who walks around throwing acid up on everyone unlucky enough to get close to him,

And whatever the chainsaw guys name is, who walks around with a huge chainsaw, laying into whatever pisses him off enough.
Wasn't trying to name all of them :)

Oi oi, now you've missed several. The chainsaw guy is the Scrake, incidentally. There's also the gorefast; a bigger clot with a big knife for an arm, the stalker; an invisible whispering female zombie, and of course the bleedin' great Patriarch!

The Traders evil don't trust her!

Its a good game, of course you have to rely on your team mates who are either brilliant or just plain old stupid and let you die in two seconds. Flesh-Pound is quite easy to take out just shoot him slowly this will stop him going berserk and slaughtering you. Oh and berserker for the win simply the best perk its fun chopping down hundreds of clots with a fruit knife.

That reminds me I need to play some games with you people.

Edit - Try a 50 player server its horribly fun to play
yeah. im gonna get this on steam, it sounds like a wider scale, more pointless L4D. :p Good thing Co-Op survival horror seems to be picking up - I was hooked even on the CS:S zombie mods, I was THRILLED when L4D was announced...these are pretty much my fav games. So im gonna get this, because this sub-genre is very small, so I need to get as many games in it as possible. CUZ. its an awesome subgenre.

Quick question, could I run this on my oh-so-crappy laptop? I can run most source games, but L4D stutters on it due to all of the zombies on screen.

Dude, I don't think Video reviews are your thing.
Do you have, oh, any reasons at all? It's one thing to come into a forum and tell someone you don't think they're any good at their job, but when you fail to offer any actual constructive criticisms, you're just being a dick.

I was waiting for a good review (the text, mind you) of the game, considering no one seems to want to release demos for multiplayer games anymore. (They work, too. Set it to singleplayer, don't offer all the weapons or enemies, have one map.) I believe it's only $20 on Steam, so I'll be picking this one up fairly soon. Thanks for the review.

But, yeah, really, I agree with BillyWentBoom. You couldn't be a little more charismatic or interested in your video reviews?
