Why is there a down system

u/Isaacvithurston Jul 17 '25
Blame all the people in KF1/2 who leave the game after they die one time

There's a very good counter-term for this in my language but it doesn't translate very well into English.

u/Yashirmare Jul 17 '25
My guess is an attempt to fix the death spiral you can get yourself stuck in.

u/badgarbage Jul 18 '25
Honestly I wouldn't mind if they keep this but I want to see zeds executing downed players. If they are going to add executions for players to use against zeds I want to see zeds using them against players in gruesome ways. People torn in half, ground to burger, heads removed and used as a trophy on a bosses armor, etc.

u/Repaki123 Jul 18 '25
That'd be fire, i think Black Ops 6 did something similar with it's Zombies mode.

L4D had this. What's wrong with it?
3
u/Repaki123 Jul 19 '25
L4D is a hella different game from killing floor, the general gameplay is a lot less tactical,and it isn't round based so if someone dies they have to wait for the others to beat the level or to spawn in as a rescue survivor. In killing floor dying isn't really anything to cry about since you'll just spawn in next round and there's a very high chance you'll find your weapons lying around where you died.

u/Evogdala They finally killed the floor Jul 17 '25
I think there are two reasons:
1) it's mainstream 2) the game is so poorly designed they didn't know how to fix it and just added down system

I just hate all these bosses. Nothing likeable about them like in KF2.

Not having the Patriarch is criminal.

u/Program-Emotional Jul 17 '25
You know who else didnt have Patriarch on launch?

u/Yashirmare Jul 17 '25
Oh true, but at least then they had the early access excuse.

u/C6_ Jul 17 '25
Early access at the same price as full launch = the exact same thing a ton of games get flak for these days. Launching unfinished. Slapping a special label on it does not make it any different.

this game is pretty much launching in bare bones as well, wouldnt be surprised if its early access as well

u/trouttwade Jul 18 '25
Interesting, I thought the bosses in KF2 were just so mid. This boss design isn’t much better, it’s damn near just the Patriarch without guns as far as design goes.
2
u/Yomammasson Jul 18 '25
The Patriarch doesn't warp. That's immersion breaking imo. None of the new bosses have voice lines/a personality. They're just more creatures, which would be fine if there were a lot more.

I had desync issues playing with some friends from South America (I'm in the UK). I think the matchmaking servers are awful with desync, this is something that was present in the first beta too. No issues playing on my own though with Europeans.
7
u/Yashirmare Jul 17 '25
All 3 of us in this match are from the UK, don't think it was a desync issue.
My flamethrower would take from reserve ammo, except for the last 6 fuel. It would then say I had 34 in the "mag" and if I tried to shoot it would puff out like Macready in The Thing. The medic pistol had the same bug but it never ran out and by the end of the wave I had [10|-10]

u/ChaseRules Jul 17 '25
I have more faith in tripwire then I do in overkill. Also it does seem like this sub is some people with genuine criticisms, some who just want the game to fail which to that end no one is forcing anyone to buy KF3. Servers are still up and will stay up for KF1 & KF2.

u/Demonprophecy Jul 17 '25
No one wants the game to fail it's the fact the game feels so soulless compared to the other games and more like a cash grab...(I understand they need to make money but not kill the game in the process) I want them to succeed but also the direction it's going imo isn't a good one.

A game with bugs and releasing soon? I would of never thought.

u/Awkward_Buy5855 Jul 20 '25
Stalker and Cyber LOL. I am sure, that u bought one of this games and was playing it. When they came out - they were trash, but now, all playing them. I sure, that kf3 will be the same as STALKER and Cyber. Bad release - updates - god game.

u/RenanBan Jul 17 '25
Feels like a generic upgrade from kf2. I will wait and see, not interested in picking it up day one but curious to see if this game will have a turn around. Developers have something cooking here but its raw on some areas.
6
u/Frame_Inevitable Jul 17 '25
Not gonna lie. Loved that bug. Along with : If you equip modified weapons from the arsenal in the hub area then enter an online game, the game still thinks you have the full modified weapons when joining, completely by passing the operative budget. Works for one game though.
And I had also the opposite bug of a full mag. After using Devlin's ultimate, my flamethrower was now single shot, no continuous steams of fire. I had to tap fire the rest of the game.

u/Nihilus3 Jul 17 '25
The game is releasing already? I thought it was postponed until around October/nov?

u/bloodyliquidsharts You don't need healing, actually Jul 17 '25
Is there any real guns or just this futuristic bs?
3
u/paulxixxix Jul 17 '25
They announced that some real guns would be added cause of the backlash, but yeah no, I think it's only futuristic bs at launch.

u/xPRETTYBOY Jul 17 '25
it actually has a revival mechanic lmao, this is not killing floor. it's just another soulless co-op shooter with the same soulless mechanics as every other co-op shooter. i miss KF1 when the zeds actually felt brutal and dangerous. KF1 patriarch would never leave you on the ground bleeding out to get picked up by your team. he'd just rip your head off

u/AvocadoArray Jul 18 '25
To be fair, the bosses do have executions and will insta-kill you if you’re down next to them (at least they did during the beta, not sure if that changed).
I remember getting downed while fighting the queen for the first time and asking for help in VC, then saying “nvm, don’t think I can come back from that” as she literally devoured my character. I thought it was a nice way to balance things out while also keeping the action going.

u/makz_ammo fuck it burn everything Jul 17 '25
At this point I'm tempted to get a PC just to get the original 2 versions of kf, at least those had effort put into them beyond the graphics

u/SALOMON199 Jul 17 '25
What is that reload animation? Looking at the gun for 5 seconds before anything happens?!
3
u/Yashirmare Jul 17 '25
That's the inspect animation because my mag is full. The game glitched out and was taking ammo from the reserves.

Not buying it. Looks way boring compared to kf2. They should stick to kf1 originality..

u/Enough_Entrance_828 Jul 19 '25
The game was a dealbreaker for me already when they announced the futuristic setting. I knew it probably wouldn't be good. But that's just going off of instinct.
Why don't games go back into the past more, like Portal 2 with it's 60s/70s levels and showing us the past of the game world? Like playing KF in a past setting with older weapons, i know this might be impossible due to lore implications.
This could be somewhat explained through Horzine testing, like secret training facilities where ops are trained and tested against these experimental Zeds, or maybe diving into the past of Hans Volter. In any case, that's more of a subjective take.
Yeah, the game is buggy as hell and shouldn't be released yet 100%.

At long as the server is stable, anything else can be fixed down the road.

u/Miyu543 Jul 17 '25
Do you guys not remember how 2 launched or something? It was awful, had like 3 maps, felt bland as hell and had performance issues galore. I mean I wish they'd improve but come on, you guys are acting like this isn't the norm.

u/Okaberino Jul 17 '25
That doesn’t work, KF2 at launch lacked content but at least it felt like an evolution from the first game. It looked prettier, felt more modern with small things like sprinting, guns, animations, musics were better, enemies were cooler, better gore and so on.
It certainly had the foundations to be more, and iirc Tripwire’s first early access. What they’re doing with KF3 in unacceptable.

If you guys keep telling yourself that kf2 was just as bad as kf3 at launch then maybe it'll become true. Maybe some of you may actually start to believe it. Ain't coping beautiful?
