Preview Mode - Playing New Maps Early

[Opieo]

This is a how to for previewing the new maps before they are 100% released to public for anyone who cares.

In Steam, right click on Killing Floor 2 and select Properties
Click on the Betas tab
In the drop down, select "preview -"
Close the box.

That is it! If done correctly Steam will download the preview data and in the games list will show as "Killing Floor 2 [preview]". I believe this prevents you from playing on non-preview updated servers though / with people on regular version.

Anyone else trying out the new changes they're looking at?

Pretty interesting stuff with regards to weapon upgrades. If you thought players were sort of stingy with money rather than trying to propel the group forward through smart cash management, its about to get a whole lot worse. It also now totals 3000 dosh in many cases to get the same oomph out of a weapon that used to just be bought for 1500. I am still not sure what their overall goal is. It feels a lot harder to be as effective as you used to be for a certain amount of dosh. There were some interesting combinations they opened up through this system, but I can't help but feel that it just isn't as good as it was before.

I'm in "wait and see" mode right now.
