So, to give this a quick bump, the Incinerate and Detonate update is out, bringing demolitions, firebug, and a couple maps for the most part. Also, Nvidia flex, though I haven't tried it myself.

Spoiler:  I'm quite happy with the old physics and its pinatas (also, big images) (click to show/hide)

I'm glad they added firebug, that's what I played in KF1 when they added it. Too bad it seems like the microwave gun is superior to the flamethrower in every way, if what I've read is true, because I like the flamethrower. I do wish the flame was a bit more like in KF1 where graphically it was a stream. It shouldn't be like this (but obstructing your vision more). It's strange because in Zed time I notice a distinct "stream" of flame, but it's surrounded by so many 'fireballs' that you can't tell that it's even there normally.

Anyways, I have an Nvidia card but I'm not running with Flex enabled because I get better FPS without it and the flaming giblets from my demolition friend is satisfying enough. After all, my friend got kicked in the face by a dismembered clot foot the other day.

I also just learned that perks won't be reset after it's out of early access which is a huge relief. I'd hate to lose all this progress. Might try to get up to level 10 today.

This is on my list of things to play once I've gotten GTA 5 out of my system.

I'd actually say not. The microwave gun seemed to me to be much better at the big, single targets, but the trash seemed almost resistant to it, and the reduced spread (and lack of fire) made also made it a lot harder to handle mobs. My opinion based on second hand observations, but still.

The Patriarch is back.

Gunslinger is live.

New playable character.

And.....the Zed-conomy. Basically, KF2 is going the route of TF2 and CS:GO. Cosmetics drop in game, there's a trading store and, yes, there are crates that I think you have to pay money to unlock. I don't really mind this change but I dunno. I've always shied away from games that go this route. It's cool for KF and there's plenty of free stuff to get so it's not exploitative as some of their fans have said. So there's really not much to be unhappy about, unless you really detest any sort of microtransactions on any level in your game.

Haven't fired this up in a few months, and this update will probably get me to rectify that. Haven't even tried Firebug!

The Sharpshooter is out.......and along with him KF got a big Waframe style damage resistance chart for zeds. Yep. They have "bullet" resistance to different kinds of guns now. The take away is that by and large every enemy may take 1.0 to 3.0x damage additional damage from select weapons.....but more likely takes .8 to .3x less from most weapons. The 9mm doesn't do full damage to 70% of the enemies in the game.

I don't know what's up with Tripwire lately. First versus, now this. Just a lot of questionable design and development choices of late.

I played a bit of KF 1. Warframe resistances make sense in warframe. They'd make no sense in a KF style game.

Huh. Seems like a strange decision here too, and I never played the first. Still, haven't played in a while and haven't played the update, so I'm not prepared to comment on how well it actually works.
