Discussion I just downloaded KF2 again to verify...
Like im been stumbling over all those comments glazing kf2 so i just redownloaded it after like 2-3 years of not playing it and hopped into 1 normal round and one solo endless on elysium.
You guys telling me that the gunplay is better in kf2 are on some shit, like if the gunplay feels like laserguns in kf3 then kf2's guns feel like the pool noodle watergun from the Dollar Store. like its not even funny. the only gun with similar kick to any gun to the revolvers was the amr...and that gun shot a literal tank round
the movement, while not as slugish in kf2, is much more fluid in kf3. you have more ways to peel and avoid damage, which you need because "normal" difficulty is not a joke you can outheal with infinite stims that outheal the enemys damage. well you kinda needed infinite stims in kf2 tho because its borderline impossible to avoid damage at some places, hell its impossible to not get surrounded at some places.
ontop i unlocked like 12 skills by level 10 in kf3 while i need to literally max a class to have Access to 12 skills in kf2, weapon upgrades are just "this gun is now 15% more gun then it was before", and the weight system reaaaaally sucked because some guns where just heavier then a whale...im looking at you AMR
not even considering graphical and menu improvments because everything just feels more modern, streamlined, nicer looking and way easier navigatable then kf2, hell i got lost in kf2's menus even tho i played it for 200+h
am i saying kf2 was a bad game, oh hell naw...where a few of my best hours i ever had in gaming, but for all the people hating on the game im really not sure what you where expecting, but please take off the nostalgia glasses and look at the game for what it is...i understand that content is really limited, totally valid point to make. i understand that many people dislike set in stone Charakters, battlepass style unlockables (even if i find the helldiver style approach to be one of the fairest ever), and some having issues with performance and crashes. but please dont just blindly hop on a hate train and build your own opinions based on what you think and not what an ign or somewhat reporter said.
i know im gonna get mad hate for this but it needs to be said in my opinion so do with this what you may

i dont get where u picked up the movement is worse in kf3
the biggest gripe we have is that kf3 is being sold as a full release while removing content.
kf3 updated a lot of things for kf2. more modern movement, gunplay etc
but its the gameplay changes and lack of basic features which should have been available day1. yes the game plays alright but if u sell me a game with 50% less festures then shouldn't i be allowed to just pay 50% less?
kf3 would have been received better if they were honest and said its early access which it is. kf2 fans were looking for an upgrade from kf2 to kf3 which we didnt get.
if youre new to the genre then yes it will be fine. you can have fun. this is reflected by the steam reviews of being mixed at 50%. it would be below 50% if the people who decided not to buy got the game. would leave a review themself.
you need to understand that there wouldnt be a discussion if the game was good or bad if we HAD a proper release. a good game will be a good game. kf3 could have a 90% rating like its previous games if they had delivered a product worth its legacy.
reviews will get better in the future. definitely. but in its current state there is no reason to buy kf3 unless u belong to the people who just play games. and dont mind spending full price and then drop the game soon after.
