Für die Early-Access-Version von Killing Floor 2 (ab 26,99€ bei kaufen) ist das große Update "Revenge of the Zeds" veröffentlicht worden (7,8 GB). Mit dem Patch wird der PvP-Spielmodus "Versus Survival" eingeführt, in dem sechs Zed-Jäger gegen sechs von Menschen gespielte Zeds antreten. Elf unterschiedliche Zeds sind spielbar und haben im Vergleich zu den computergesteuerten Varianten deutlich mehr Fähigkeiten. Darüber hinaus ist die neue Karte "Prison" enthalten und mit dem neuen Live-Update-System sollen fortan viele Balance-Anpassungen vorgenommen werden können, ohne neue Server- oder Client-Versionen herauszubringen.

Special note on FLEX: We feel we are close to returning FLEX functionality to the game. We are keeping a close eye on performance and crashes related to it. We have turned FLEX off completely for this build as in the process of fully testing a new build of this functionality and it was not ready for this release. Special note on Versus Survival: Our internal testing focused mostly on human teams around the same level (1’s, 12’s and 25’s) New Languages Supported Thanks to Steam Translation:

Klingt auf jeden Fall nicht schlecht, leider hab ich das letzte Mal als ich KF2 gespielt habe Bekanntschaft mit dem, zu dem Zeitpunkt neuen, "Mircotransaction"-System gemacht was mir so gar nicht gefiel...
Gibt es das immer noch so oder hat sich da seit der Einführung was geändert? Wenn ja, würde ich KF2 wohl mal wieder einen Blick abstatten :)
