    Killing Floor

    Game » consists of 2 releases. Released May 14, 2009

    When hordes of failed super-soldiers (the zombie-like "specimens") break out of the labs of Horzine Biotech, it's up to London's finest to put them down in this cooperative survival horror wave-based first-person shooter.

    Killing Floor Worth The Money

    When the Steam sale of this game hit, I had little thoughts on whether to buy it or not just because of the fact it was zombies. Zombies are becoming the World War II Shooters of this age of video games and I just couldn't place myself into buying a Zombie game after spending hours on Left 4 Dead. Let me reassure you, this is not Left 4 Dead. This game consists of multiple classes such as: Sharpshooter, Pyro, Berserker, Demolitions, Support Specialists, and Medic. Each class can be leveled up to level 6 by doing whatever the objectives it tell you whether it is dealing damage or support tasks. At first, the game seemed pretty glitchy and I wasn't too keen on the lack of high detail. You may come to love its quirkiness as I did. Having a group of friends to play with makes the experience loads better than what you would have in Single Player. Warranted, the online community in this game is highly active with custom maps, guns, and player limits. The online community acn also vary between good and bad when it comes to respectful players. This game is team based and you will not do well unless you are playing as a team. Overall, I would recommend this game if you can buy it at the right price. I bought it on sale for ~$5 with all the DLC and it was well worth it. If you can get it for less than $10 then grab it and get your friends on it as well.

    Pros: Fun, well balanced classes. Tons of maps and online support for custom maps. Humor and quirkiness of the game make it pleasing. DLC maps for events are available for Christmas and Summer and other future events (I'm guessing)

    Cons: Game can gltch at times (Sometimes funny, sometimes crashes completely) it depends on your computer. Single player lacks a storyline that is compelling. Reporting abusive players is a server based procedure so nothing major happens.

    Buy it, enjoy it, play it.

      L4D has left a very big impression on gamer's imagination. The co-op zombie shooter has been so popular that many zombie games are viewed as how they relate to L4D. Killing Floor isn't really trying to compete with L4D. They offer two different experiences to gamers. Some gamers will like them both, some will prefer Valve's less frantic (relatively) and more polished gameplay more. Some gamers will get a lot of enjoyment out of Killing Floor.  Killing Floor is a first-person shooter. It has a s...

      Just Some Good Fun Zombie Shooting 0

      Let's get one thing straight, Killing Floor is NOT a Left 4 Dead clone. With all the similar zombies and the fact that it's a co-op shooter, one can easily put it off as such, but Killing Floor does enough to separate it from Left 4 Dead.Unlike Left 4 Dead, Killing Floor doesn't have a progressive campaign with a beginning and end. Each round starts players in an open-ended map similar to a traditional multiplayer map. From there, the players are tasked with fighting of a certain number of zombi...
