Why is Killing Floor 1 Objective Mode Far Superior Compared To KF2?

[@DarkWestern]

The precious skins are *SO* much cleaner looking in KF1 too

[@ryanb7186]

The gameplay in KF2 was better than KF1, but they definitely dropped the ball on having fun objectives. After 1,100 hours of KF2, I finally moved on to Deep Rock Galactic. It has 8 different mission types which are all objective based. The map for each mission is randomly generated. It has random mutators to make enemies and the missions in general more challenging. Doing all of this, DRG keeps things fresh, and it's hard to feel burned out on the game. The gameplay is actually even better than KF2's, I think, since you have a lot more mobility and ways to get places. Having a KF version of DRG would be pretty awesome, but I guess we'll see what KF3 turns out to be.

Rock and Stone! I've accumulated plenty of hours in DRG it's a great game.

All personal preference really, kf2 and kf1 were built for different crowds, most gamers nowadays are spoiled and don’t appreciate some of the older graphics and mechanics so they would almost always choose the newer games with the usual standards they’re use to. Example: people nowadays who are more use to today’s games with the usual sprint and bash mechanics will almost always hate kf1 for not having them and base their opinions on this but really its because they refuse to get use to the changes and struggle in the game so most of the time they may blame things on the game. If you can play kf1 with an open mind and learn to deal with the differences and difficulty of the game, kf1 is one of the best games. Everyone struggles getting into kf1 at first, it’s not an easy game to get into but once you get into it…

[@sebastianmattes8814]

Playing the Steamland objective mode with my friends back in the days was the best killing floor experience! Really miss that I loved the dark and scary atmosphere of KF1 The whole gaming experience was so much more intense

[@PathfinderBoi]

Hell yeah that was awesome

[@fortheloveofgaming969]

KF1 will always be better in terms of ascetic and difficulty. I started playing it again and having a better time on this than KF2.

[@SomeGuyWithABlueMask]

I gotta admit, KF2 has better combat and weapon animations etc. But KF1 really had that atmosphere and feel of a clone filled apocalypse, KF2 just tries too hard to get the feeling

[@nightmarepotato5000]

@@SomeGuyWithABlueMask I do agree for the most part, though I'd personally say it's not that they tried it with KF2... I'd say it's the opposite. The whole overdone "too sterile/clean and bright" argument.

[@karmaruth7321]

Objective mode multiplayer literally requires you to have a competent team or a coordinated team, objective really brings out the coop of killing floor 1, it’s very possible to solo objective modes but if you are playing multiplayer which drastically increases the difficulty, it will take a well coordinated team to get through things or might even be easier at times to let some people die and do things with coordinated players or to even solo but playing objective is always a thrill and can even be stressful but that’s the kf experience!

[@gotanywaste]

At this point I just want a postal 2 remaster

[@PathfinderBoi]

[@randomsteve4279]

I believe that it is because of the maps, I also like the one where you need to find gears and bring them to certain places, but doing those objectives on a close map that we've playing many times before these "objectives" came out, feels just awkward.

[@47RoninGaming]

Killing floor 2's objective mode feels shallow when compared.

[@PathfinderBoi]

Yeah pretty soulless/rushed

[@mikekin8305]

Kinda wish KF3 Objective/Story mod follows GTFO in terms of a "rundown" and having sneak mechanics (although simple yet still fun) . Of course, they would have to actually have a more direct story line compare to GTFO and have dynamic type events, a random car alarm setting off causing a horde etc etc

[@totesmcgoats7094]

KF3??

[@Fatchick2316]

That honestly sound like it doesn't really fit at all with "sneaking" I just don't want the same objectives in kf2s mode.

[@zmike9831]

kf1 has a lot more passion in it, from the sounds to the look of literally all the maps and the art direction, kf2 sandas workshop is really nice because with objectives in it have different, zed composition, trader sounds, skins, and a theme. really a good map, the thing that also makes the objective maps fun is them convincing you that your in that timeline rather than in a stock kf2 map with chores to do.

[@EEMMOsGaming]

I’m still asking why no one uploaded Halliday’s voice lines

[@MatVee]

I'm still playing KF1 to this day, i personally dont really like KF2. KF2 is still a good game, but KF1 is just classic, and i like it more. I play in lithuanian servers, it still has 2-10 people almost all the time except night.

[@DrLoyon]

Maybe cuz devs were too lazy to make different objectives so they copy paste em 5 times kekw

[@PathfinderBoi]

[@refloxi5290]

The mod objective maps (like the resident evil one) where soooo fucking good.

[@EnergySurge09]

You sent the Patriarch to the fucking back rooms! XD

[@spidertopus]

kf2s objectives definitely felt pretty basic. probably the only real objective mode i actually felt was even decent, and enjoyable enough to play, was the christmas objective mode. especially playing it, when it first came out. overall, most of kf2s objectives just felt a little too overly simplistic, and shit could've been better.

[@blackoutnow]

KF1 is the King, KF2 is the Jester.

[@STWproductionz]

I never played KF1 but it looks like it has a lot of nice ass kahntent in it. If KF3 happens it should bring back a lot of the KF1 style, like the atmosphere and more horror elements but could have the fluidity of KF2 and the cracked gameplay, or something, I dunno, I just wanna get cracked Also, gimmie a campaign, an actual story, now that would be straight biblical.

[@slothprizon66]

I like the objective mode like maps there like Santa's workshop and airship. Those are good. But actual objective mode is garbage.

[@superkuigi64]

KF1 objective mode is way better KF2 I just feel like kf1 objective mode was like a campaign mode

[@PathfinderBoi]

Agreed

[@Narezaath]

I feel like objectives in KF2 were good at the beginning, but they repeated them too much. The same drone protection, datapad collection etc on all OM maps.

[@PathfinderBoi]

If they improved upon that, no one would have anything to say, but they literally copy pasted the same stuff on different maps.

[@LongJ0hn]

Oh shit fam, the first video I have noticed with the dislike number removed. Welcome to simp tube boys, nice comments only

[@crapsound]

I never got to play objective mode in KF1 so I can neither talk about it nor understand what people are talking about when they say vague things about it like "objective mode in KF1 is great," okay? Great how and in what regard? I don't know. I however, have played objective mode in KF2 and that I do have some of my own insights. My problem with it is that in all maps in objective mode, the objectives are similar, nearly the same for each map. So no map felt "memorable" so to speak. That 1 set of objectives would be okay for 1 maybe 2 maps but I think as of now we got 4 maps that have the same objectives? That alone kills the mode for me, I dunno if the devs were changed or whoever in charge there changed or just changed his/her passion for the game and just slowly lets it die.

[@bd-bonsai5829]

Ah the good ol' days

[@VocalSynthUtau]

they just put more effort into the maps in KF1

[@Mannwhich]

Indeed. The maps and ambient music made everything feel alive. Getting separated and lost just added to the panic and horror.

[@BabzaiWWP]

cause kf1 has actual writing

[@pooshrulez]

You should try KFO-Foundry-SE 😉

[@spoon425]

yup...sadly they fucked everything from KF1 in KF2...after it goes F2P in stupid EGS...RIP KF2 for me

[@RibJegres]

I mean i dont think the gameplay itself is bad in KF2. I just wish it wasnt so easy and also tried to be more like KF1 in terms of the style with the characters, voiceline interactions and skins. When they announced KF2 back then, i was expecting a game where moving as a team is important to win the game. I had my fun at first when people were kiting as 6 in every game, but soon it stopped and people started to camp. For me personaly the camping thing should have stayed in KF1. If KF2 would remove or punish the ability to camp, game would be much more intense again.

Because kf1 objective have story lol

Yo dude I recently got kf2 as a present and it was the game which brought me back to gaming after months of demotivation, I played in the first 2 weeks like 130 hours, so I'd like to ask if i may add u on discord or steam cuz I'd really like to talk about it a bit, learn something new and like improve.. would be nice

[@camfer9616]

nice

[@JuniPinPan]

personally i like kf2 more than one, overall i like kf2s combat and everything more, ive tried kf1 but i cant get into it as much

[@karmaruth7321]

For one, kf1 is a much more difficult game, many people who tend to jump in between a series of games either playing kf1 > kf2 or kf2> kf1 will have a mindset of thinking that both games are from the same series so maybe they might be similar but for kf1/kf2 in particular, this isn’t exactly true. The entire gameplay, mechanics and graphical aspects are a lot different. General consensus, people playing kf1 going to kf2 will probably not mind the changes as it’s like an upgrade in a way but not really either as it’s such a different game now but due to kf1 being a little more simple, it’s quite easy to adjust to kf2, just gotta learn a few things. One thing kf1 players might/will miss is the more challenging game play of kf1. Kf2 players coming to kf1, it might feel like a downgrade for people, as it’s human nature to always want something new, the older graphics, the slower pace and what not, it’s not like kf2 at all. There’s somethings you learned from kf2 that can be carried into kf1 but kf1 can require a good amount of knowledge to be played effectively so most people will almost always struggle getting into kf1. Kf1 isn’t the most friendly towards new players so doing outside researches on game mechanics, tips, tricks etc is really an advisable thing to do but if you have the patience to do it the old fashioned way and just play the game and die over and over again until you understand a single thing about the game, that’s a way to do it aswell. Everyone almost always starts out hating kf1 due to its difficult gameplay but once you sit down and really give it a try and have the patience to learn and enjoy what kf1 has to offer, it’s one of the best games. The challenge of kf1 makes it a very replayable game and IMO is one factor that kf2 doesn’t have.

[@truearea53]

Well kf2 have better gameplays. But the kf2o however, dropped the ball. So kf1 wins the kfo.
