Is it possible to "beat" a game? I see you died with just a few baddies remaining. Do they get so progressively harder to a point where it's near impossible?
I should probably just buy the game myself and see for myself.
I had a great game with some PA folk earlier tonight. Great fun.
I left right after I stood in doorway with the chainsaw rearing as a ton of mans dropped on me. I think I got 30 kills before I died ^_^
Yeah I was standing right behind you when that happened. You were tearing shit up with that chainsaw. You probably would have made it if you hadn't been swarmed by crawlers.
I haven't figured out how best to deal with crawlers using a chainsaw. It seems if you are standing, you have to look straight down to actually hit them. I have tried crouching with some success, but even then they usually get a hit on you before going down. I usually just end up whipping out a pistol. But when I play beserker I want that chainsaw running nonstop!
I think that was the same round where we had 2 or 3 chainsaws going at once, it was beautiful. I got the bitter irony achievement by taking out 2 scrakes by suicide charging with a chainsaw, and took out a fleshpound or two like that as well. I remember seeing someone tear through like 50 clots with a chainsaw (maybe it was you fsmith1). The clots had strung out in a single file line, and it was like someone had just pulled back a windup car. The guy just ran forward and plowed through the whole horde, it was awesome!
If it was around wave 2/3, behind the fence at the side of the house then it was me.
I think he's just trolling on me cause of my redonkulus score.
He's a big clotsucker. Anyway, that was a great match, I'm finally able to consistently beat the Patriarch on Normal long matches with friends and even pubbies, now I just have to get used to Hard. I'm pretty much simultaneously levelling sharpshooter and medic, I'm getting tired of chasing people around though.

I'm about tired of people using the fence glitch on the London outdoor level. I hate that so much. If I see someone doing it I usually just leave.
I actually had a group of people doing that last night on a pub, but what happened was that another guy and I played it straight, just going down the street to the barricade, and we went back to back, covering each other and getting some glorious ownage. I was commando, and he was support, so whatever I couldn't get at range, he'd take out when it got closer.
We didn't have a death for all 10 rounds, but then the patriarch showed up, and obviously when 3 of our teammates were inaccessible, he tended to target us more.
We both topped the server, too, so I didn't feel like we were just mopping up what the other guys didn't kill. Good times.
Well we don't need kills, just fire damage. So we just tag everything. Its very effective for the team, clots and crawlers and stalkers will often die from the fire before they get close enough to harm anyone, and everything we tag gives a visual indicator for everyone else. Tagging crawlers in high grass like on Farm really helps out. And since we don't need the kills, you guys can still get headshots if you can figure them out.
They need to increase the doorway size to the trader, wherever it ends up. Lots of douche bags out there lately who like to sit in the doorway and block people from buying shit.

...we made it cool to wear medallions and say hotep...
epppiicccc farm match on Hard just now. 2-3 of us survived for the most part and then I ran around crying, trying to gather ammo. I died from a welded door >.<
Map was on last round 7/7 around 40 mans left to be kilt.
It's like my little sidekick buddy is growing up and killing guys all on his own!
Still though, you know I'm the boss.
You lost all boss privledges when you kept people out of the server for 3 hours yesterday when you went afk.
Had two great games, managed to kill the Patriarch both times. He's best fought when there's lots of random cover to slow him down and block his minigun/rockets. The issue now is to figure out where on earth can I find good cover in places like Manor and Farm....
I have notes about FP's. They are completely harmless in the open, so the clots can turn into the real danger quickly. So generally, if there's time, it's a good idea the clear the area of lower level specs before engaging the FP. Gives whoever it goes after room to run, more chance of survival if enough firepower isn't delivered fast enough and it runs some.
and on medics. On the harder servers, I don't think we'll be getting very far in a game without one or two. Sure everyone can hearl themselves, but on hard you will be taking damage constantly, and switching to heal or running away can let critters through to cause havoc on your team. Organization is key, and keeping critters along one line of fire is the best way to keep things from going downhill. People have to keep firing... and damage will start to mount up too quickly without medics. I think they're crucial as a class- being able to prick your whole team quickly is better than everyone losing focus trying to prick the pesron next to them.
Updates to Killing Floor have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:
Fixes
Fixed a number of known exploits on each map
Fixed Listen Server Hosts not showing as playing on a server in Steam Friends
Fixed the game prompting for a password after the password was already entered into Steam, when connecting from the Steam Server Browser
Fixed exploit where players could shoot other players with shotguns and launch them on top of things or out windows
Fixed exploit where players could change their Perk multiple times in order to get discounts on particular items. Players can only change their Perk once per Wave now
Fixed shotguns making Specimens fly back excessively online
Fixed Server Browser becoming non-responsive when connected to a server
Fixed exploit that players could use to purchase something even when too heavy
Fixed Listen Server Hosts' Perks getting duplicated to other players connected to their server
Fixed purchasing of a Handcannon appearing to discount other weapons
Fixed a collision problem with crouching that was allowing exploits
Tweaks
Improved the detection of Headshots on the Specimens
Removed the scaling of players' names over their heads, which was causing long names to be unreadable
Changed Default Tick Rate for Internet Servers to 30 instead of 20 to improve the online experience for players
Hitting Escape now closes the Weapon Selection widget on the HUD
Toned down the Blur and Camera Shake when a Specimen hits you. Blur now fades out more quickly
I was wanting to try that hunting shotgun glitch too And fuck that change perk once 'fix'. Well at least the headshot detection is improved, though how, I'll have to try myself.

Ouch! That was nice to use, looks like body armor will be pricey again.
Improved the detection of Headshots on the Specimens
Congrats Sharpshooters! Hope it works.

A welcome addition, though I don't know if it was necessary. It was appropriately horrifying to get hit and be unable to see for a few seconds in the madness of it all.
Has anyone else had a problem trying to add KF servers to your favorites in steam? When I go to my servers tab, and add a killing floor server, it freezes up, and then when I try to click anything else in steam it crashes.
I can search for internet games, but for some reason it doesn't want me to do anything with the favorites.
I jumped on a 50 man goon run server the other night but they had FF on. That's fine with just 6 people because you play more carefully, but once you get over 12 or so things start getting crazy and then you see a bunch of teamkill death messages and then you also die cause someone thought you were a zombie or that he could assist you from 20 yards away with his grenades/shotgun.

Nope. Although apparently it's not completily widespread as evidenced by the half-filled 40-mans I'm seeing on the server list, so my money's on it being due to Tripwire and not Steam acting up.
