Killing Floor (Steam zombie-stomper from Red Orchestra devs)

[Destructor]

Slo-mo triggers when it wants, and more often when headshots kick in (I think). Also, some classes get a bonus to slo-mo (makes it longer if memory serves), which gets really funny if the slo-mo kicks in time and time again.

I haven't memorized the baddies' names but the one that seems draped in metallic stuff, and sort of has this glowing red thing on his chest, and seems damn near impossible to shake once he targets you (Scray? something like that?), I find really annoying. I've tried head-shotting it at point blank range and it does nothing. I think my noob question was answered that  shotguns and one other weapon work on it, or dropping a grenade at it's feet (kinda hard when he's basically strapped to my face).

There is finally some new free content (for current owners of the game), including 4 new maps [in this case, polished versions of fan-created maps in a competition]:

Tripwire Interactive are pleased, once again, to announce the release of another free content pack for their hit co-op survival-horror shooter, Killing Floor, along with a new DLC character pack – and an exclusive “The Ball” themed DLC character for Killing Floor.

The free Incendiary Content Pack gives a big boost to the Firebug perk in the form of a brand new weapon – the MAC-10. This submachine gun not only packs a punch with a high rate of fire and .45 caliber rounds, but for the Firebug will also fire incendiary ammo that will make his enemies do the fire dance. With this the Firebug now has his own personal close-range weapon.

Also included in the content pack are four new maps that were selected from the best maps entered in the Grindhouse map making competition. These maps have been given the “Tripwire Treatment” and have been polished up and made official. And to celebrate the release Tripwire will be offering a 50% discount on Killing Floor and the existing DLC character packs through Sunday 10th October 2010.

Highlights of the content pack include:
Four new maps – Hospital Horrors, Biohazard, Mountain Pass, and Suburbia
New Firebug weapon – the MAC-10 firing incendiary rounds
New money system – money now rewarded based on % of damage dealt rather than who gets the final shot, no more kill poaching for money!
Balance changes for several perks including the Sharpshooter, Commando, and Demolition perks
Bug and map exploit fixes
As always the content pack is free to all those who already own Killing Floor and will automatically download through Steam.

The “PostMortem” DLC Character Pack will bring you four new playable characters for the game. The DLC will be available to purchase over Steam or in-game, to anyone who already owns a copy of Killing Floor.

The Ball is their new game, not related to Killing Floor:

Looks like the Chrome browser symbol

Looks like the Chrome browser symbol  

True, but it's more catchy. Otherwise, it would be like...

The Chrome^TM browser symbol is a first person action-adventure game featuring a full single-player experience built on Epic’s Unreal™ Engine 3 technology. As a swashbuckling archaeologist working on the slopes of a dormant volcano somewhere in Mexico, you get stuck in a cavern. It doesn’t take long before you realize this is more than just a cave. You reveal ancient ruins that have been hidden from outsiders for centuries and discover a mysterious artifact, a gold and metal shelled Chrome^TM browser symbol.

As you progress towards solving the mystery of this amazing place you must unlock the secrets of the Chrome^TM browser symbol and learn to control this ancient artifact. Venturing deeper into the volcano, you reveal some of mankind’s greatest secrets and you will start to encounter not just puzzles and traps, but also various strange creatures – the guardians of this mystery. These creatures have to be overcome, using only the Chrome^TM browser symbol to defend you.

Maybe Google should sue for royalties...

Twisted Christmas for the Killing Floor.  It even has a guest cameo from TF2!

Twisted Christmas for the Killing Floor.  It even has a guest cameo from TF2!

I'll have to check it out. I still can't explain why I can play Killing Floor for hours without motion sickness while everything Source-engined (along with COD:MW, the new MOH etc.) makes me wanna hurl in a few minutes.

btw, I like the latest (it's not free, but is only $1.99) set of player character skins on Steam. Unlike some of the previous ones, some of them actually seem cool, rather than just bizarre.  

Here 'tis:
