Hits early access on the 21st.
How many peeps are getting in on it?
I know myself and @James plan to. We rock it old school. Would be nice to see quite a good amount of people to play with cause of the teamwork factor.
I usually play medic. I got good at shooting my med gun from the hip and hitting teammates from a distance :-P I also did some support, cause you know shotgun OP. Really never got the patience for sharpshooter. Firebug was one of those classes I really didn't like. Berzerker really isn't my style and the demo guy came out late for me and I really didn't care to put the effort into get the perks up.
For those interested and haven't really seen anything check out this video:
In Early Access there are only 4 classes and really only 3 class weapons. There are the same specimen (zeds) but they have a bit more extensive move/abilities. There are 2 different bosses. The Patriarch returns and then theres a new guy, I've forgotten the name but his world debut was in the video I linked above. He's tougher, he recharges his HP by draining a victim. Each class can be leveled up to 25, and the leveling should be a lot more balanced than in KF1. Pretty much you can get to level 1 in your first game. Each level you pick your perk, so you build your character your way. They plan to add other classes while in EA and more weapons as well. So while we are all playing it will get a new update every 2-3 weeks.
They haven't really said when they'd end EA, but they do have an internal date they have planned. My guess is around Halloween, good 6 month EA period would probably be a good experience by all. Early Access will be $30, so a bit more than the original but there's significant updates and differences between the 2 games. For a 10 year old game, its still kicking.
