For sure, however there are certain aspects of KF that I enjoy more than L4D. KF has some great iron sight and head shot mechanics. I think the variety of weapons and the class system is more fun than L4Ds scavenging gear from the environment system. Also, there's just something really satisfying about the whole team planting their backs against the wall and mowing down 300 zombies.L4D is more polished in every way.
Killing Floor is basically hold your ground as wave after wave of zombies attack you. At the last wave you fight a boss. Everyone basically just uses the xpack exploit on boss battles, so I'm not sure I'd exactly call it a fight.
The two games are different. I play them both, but if I had to choose I'd pick L4D without hesitation.
L4D feels more like a game. KF feels more like the mod that it is.

Yeah if you like team play its a great game. There's no single player campaign so buyer beware.
Thinking about it now it's basically a tower defense game with 4-6 players. You're given a large map and have to survive a bunch of waves of monsters. A bit more original than L4D. all the monsters have abilities like banshee screams that milk you or turn invisible, run on walls etc. It's not zombies and it's nothing like L4D. You gain xp and levels there's perks. At the end of each wave you're given a chance to go upgrade weapons based on money you've earned. The landscapes are setup to where you can have to take advantage of the terrain weld doors shut etc.
I'll level with you and I'm gonna sound like an elitist dick here. People that don't like Killing Floor and make comparisons to L4D haven't played more than a game or even maybe a map. Killing Floor is a completely different game than the L4D. There are 0 similarities.
L4D is a scenario based point A to point B arcade game in the vain of something like Final fight. I'm not dissing L4D but it's nothing like Killing Floor. Fyi Killing Floor is very heavy into mods. If you're only playing the official maps you're missing the good stuff. The Doom, Fortress and Arcade Mall Mod maps are particularly fun. I've played Killing Floor off and on since it was released. Everytime I play there's always something new and my characters are only around level 2 or 3. I have cousins at exponentially higher levels that are crazy good.

Think what you wish.this is a no brainer for $5, I wouldn't think twice about snatching it up even if I didn't have time to play it.
doesn't actually own the game or hasn't played any remotely recent builds since the first dlc, and never touches any custom map or mod content amiright.

definitely a great buy for 5 bucks. I've played it for about 250 hours.
You might not get that amount of playtime from it as a new player, because of the way new content has rejuvenated the game over time when it has gotten stale many times for us veteran players - but you will get more than your money's worth.
TWI is still actively adding free content, though the game is essentially a mod and 2.5-3 years old - they do this to all their games and you can probably expect this from KF until noone plays it anymore and/or KF2 is out.
Killing Floor usually has a nice community, way better than pubbies in L4D games in my experience.
I have played KF for about 50-60 hours and burnttoast is pretty dead-on with his quick summary. You know KF is low budget when you try to knife another player and it plays the same sound/animation for when you attack a wall... I am also not a fan of the super grind they call a level system. You have to play 100+ hours just to get to perk level 5 on on just one class, and that is just ridiculous.
Depending on my mood I usually play 1 game and that's about all I can handle for KF.
L4D is definitely more polished overall and probably a better game... but for some reason I have a ton more time logged in killing floor according to steam.
you don't have to play 100s of hours or cheat, you're just doing it wrong. with a good team you would breeze through your first 4 levels like nothing, it's levels 5 and 6 that actually take a fair bit of time, even then playing with people that know you need to level and helping you out in the process could easily powerlevel any class in no time. and then there's always whiltelisted custom maps that are always better for leveling certain classes.
the real problem is new players derping around with randoms, either in colonial firing squad camps or running around like 6 headless chickens on the shitty default maps, you're not actually playing killing floor. a real 6 man team on hell mode with your friends who know what they're doing, and quality maps that force you to think on your feet is a completely different experience, from playing with pubstars that have no coordination at all.

The Killing Floor Twisted Christmas event starts Dec.14.
It will have a new map Santa's Evil Lair and of course the zombies will be wearing their Christmas skins.

Yeah, that's totally inaccurate.
That was last year!
This year has a similar event and has already started (on the 7th) and features a new map (ice caves) and a load of new weapons! The zeds are in the christmas skins again so you can get any of last years acheivements if you missed them!

Challenging? I don't know about that, Hell on Earth, just run circles and never stop. GG. Its fun but quickly dies out.
uhh play it on the hardest difficulty with a few players. Each player adds more zombies. If you dont think that is challenging then you are Pr0.
