>Touching on Q2, Killing Floor 3, released in July, has seen a mixed reception and has performed slightly below our initial expectations, but it has strongly outperformed the initial release of Killing Floor 2. With upcoming updates and open communication with players, we believe the game has made a solid enough start and can deliver long-term value.

kf3 is doing better than kf2 did at the same time. just like with kf2, the player base will go exponentially as new content is added

Half the charm of the first Killing Floor was the death metal grunge aesthetic. The series has slowly but surely diverted into what I'd refer to Saints Row 3's idea of sci-fi slop where it just slaps neon lights and glass on everything.

originally was a hero shooter
it's barely killing floor (if at all)
it's unreal engine 5 slop
uses easy anti-cheat which is shit
the classes and characters suck
the weapons all look like shit
the music is severely lacking
no fucking door welding
no fucking text chat
no fucking server browsing
only 8 maps that are too dark
turrets, ziplines, and traps are all lame
sliding and dodge are pointless and janky
more lame sci-fi bullshit people did not fucking want
bosses are boring as fuck - even the impalers

>but it has strongly outperformed the initial release of Killing Floor 2
This statement is entirely false.

Killing Floor 2 released April 21st, 2015 with a peak of 20,435 on Steam alone with an average of 11,216 players. Current 24h peak is 6,064. KF2 only dropped to around 3,671 average players after the first month due to lack of content.

Killing Floor 3 released July 24th, 2025 with a peak of 21,934 on Steam and an average of 12,915 that VERY quickly dropped to around half at 6,463 within the first week. And it's current 24h peak is a staggering 2,671.

KF3 only barely had more people playing the game at launch that it was entirely negligible. The vast majority of those people either quit or refunded the game. Not only did KF2 completely outperform in it's first month and had people actually playing it, it released with way less content. It very much did not out perform KF2 on launch.

>b-b-b-but kf2 is b-b-b-botted
Stop using this pathetic cope. There is no actual proof of the game having thousands of bots, and even if it did, any bot hosters would be losing money. One glance at the marketplace and you'll see people aren't buying anything. Nobody wants to buy one of the hundreds of thousands of USBs or woodland skins everybody has.
>b-b-but the server browser
At least KF2 has one, and has had one since day 1. Most people play solo, on private servers, or custom servers with increased player caps.

Embracer stole your money. This game will die and inevitably go offline because it's a shitty online-only ue5 cash grab that is only Killing Floor in name alone.

Stop making these pointless threads. The game is bad. Everyone knows it's bad. The only people that play it are retarded console normies with no taste and low standards who will quickly jump to the next thing after a month.

Facts. They'll talk about "muh grindhouse". They'll talk about "muh sovl", "muh aesthetics" or "muh welding". But you will N E V E R hear the nostalgia fags mention any real gameplay. I doubt anyone of them has ever played a match on a difficulty higher than normal. They praise things like oneshotting Patriarch with explosives, or making all the zeds walk in one, neat orderly line, while raging endlessly at anything that would enable a player to express skill, such as movement abilities. Anything that might separate a bad player from a good player is demonised to no end by the nostalgia addicts, and I think we know why.

My point was more that the weight system rarely makes a difference. It could be there, or not, it wouldn't matter, your loadout will be the same anyway. Yes some classes could have 3 primary weapons, but it was more of an annoyance than a benefit, and at least in 2 it was always better to have 2 and upgrade one or both.

This is bait. Scour the forums and you'll see only shitters like KF3. It's people who haven't even done a single HoE completion, or they haven't even played KF1. I've seen people with 200 hours and not even a HoE map finished. There's a pretty clear divide.

If all you need is a wave of enemies to appear with a pause in between waves then I guess yeah. Although I'd wonder why you don't just play any other wave based shooter if that's all you want. Also it barely resembles the previous entries in terms of pacing, map flow and teamwork.

Stalker not being there doesn't mean the rest aren't. I honestly can't fathom why they didn't include it, but I can't say I care that much.

I like Killing Floor. I've had fun playing all 3.
>Also it barely resembles the previous entries in terms of pacing, map flow and teamwork.
I enjoy faster gameplay, which is one of the reasons I prefer 2 over 1 as well. Don't think there's anything wrong with the map flow, quite the contrary, they've improved it. But I do agree roles could be more distinct than they currently are.

Nothing personal? I've got almost all of the KF2 hell on earth achievements, and I did them on modded servers, the base KF2 difficulties are a fucking joke, I solo hard mode regularly.

Eat my asshole you fucking faggot.

Visually they do suck and clash with the theming of all the other zeds, but mechanically they're fine. I don't think I have ever died because of the grapple one pinning me in place.
What they really should have done is made them "mini-husks" visually. Basically zeds with gun arms like the husk or shoulder rockets akin to the doom 2 revenant. Then give them a chest "power-core" to shoot at so the EMP on death effect still makes sense.

Just shoot them in the chest a few times, its a one hit kill. While you're at it, shoot the heads off of bloats. Use your knife to parry crawlers and fleshpounds. Game is really easy because every enemy type has a direct counter.

Relax fag, I said most, and nothing personal, meaning maybe it doesn't apply to you.
