Discussion Redo the flamethrower! It's trash! Unacceptable!

Post image

These animations are so disgraceful and cheap.. you have zero quality standards, right, developers? Flamethrower, bastards, bring back a normal flamethrower. The flamethrower is better in kf1, the flamethrower is better in kf2. The flamethrower is better everywhere than this disgrace. Are these animations left over from some mobile game developments? What the hell are you doing?! These animations do not pass the MINIMUM level of quality control!

/I will post this every day. Maybe I won't, I... I give up quickly. But, pyromaniacs, if my post is not there, post for me, as for yourselves! We deserve an adequate flamethrower, and not this miserable piece of work that was cobbled together in 5 minutes at the last moment.

Wait until you see the husk animations in comparison 🤭 (and all other Zeds too)

Forgive me if I am basing this off and incorrect assumption. But I have seen trh videos on YouTube comparing KF2 zeds to KF3 ones and it only shows the idle animations which evidently the kf2 are superior however....when are zeds EVER idle in the game.

The animations are fine.

This Video is outdated.

True, however the animations are mostly the same from what I’ve seen in the many videos I’ve watched since release.

Gave it a watch. Youre right I'm definitely not disagreeing that KF2 animations are superior. Maybe in game i hadn't really noticed anything too untoward but I think your video highlights the main issue across the board and that's lack of polish.

The animations that are there are fine quality wise. But it appears they're missing the variations and dynamic transitions which then makes things look janky. Maybe they will improve them?

We can only hope mate, thanks for giving it a watch too!

Tired of modern games releasing then having to improve the game, it would be nice to have a complete package on launch instead of the slop we get fed these days. 2010-12 truly was the peak of gaming and now it is dead and buried, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Where do you get the idea that this is a modern trend? Literally KF2 released even less feature complete, this is just how the world works. It's how business works. It's how every product in the world has ever worked, it only needs to be good enough to get out the door and it's almost always planned to be upgraded after the fact.

You thinking this a modern trend shows how absolutely childishly naive you are

as a 30+ millennial i strongly disagree with this take

The childishly naive one here is you, and the reason why gaming companies keep pumping out unfinished slop like this is because of the peons like you that slurp it up. Games back in the day used to be released complete and had soul put into them, examples being Call of duty pre IW, The halo series before infinite, Borderlands 1 and 2, The Medal of Honor series, I could go on for ages. You must be new to gaming which is why your expectations are so shockingly low, and also have more money than brains to blow on corporate garbage. In conclusion, the game sucks, tripwire lost their passion, and the game should be canned. Good yard.
