KF2 sucks it is a waste of money

KF2 better

KF 1 whit no doubts. Played both, kf 2 is cool, whit fancy graphics at first u say "omg so cool" but then u get bored after 1 week maybe less because it is always the same. kf 1 is way more immersive, u have to cooperate whit ur team or u will die. each class has its own way to play. I ve been playing kf1 for 5 years and i m not bored yet.

KF1 is more challenging, it's not as run and gun as KF2. There's a larger difficulty spike for your teammates if you don't pull your weight in comparison to KF2, and if you think the game gets stale simply crank up the difficulty. Also, stay away from perk-leveling servers. They end up making you suck on Suicidal and HellonEarth, and there's nothing more fustrating than bumping into a lvl 6 perk who doesn't understand the mechanics of those two difficulties.

I own 2 and it SUCKS. only good thing about it is the graphics. everything else about it really sucks. i still play it sometimes because i spent money on it, but if i wouldnt have bought it so soon id definitely wouldnt buy it now. its also pretty dead already. mostly just 1k people druing the weekends and high traffic times

KF2 is running on an average of 2k so it's not "mostly just 1k people during the weekends".

And the answer to that question depends on what you want. Do you want a game that is focused a lot around mechanics, knowing your perk and perfecting it? Then KF1 is your thing. Do you want a more chaotic, action packed and arcade like game that still focuses on mechanics but is more forgiving? Then KF2 is your thing. Both have high entertainment value.
I personally switched to KF2 because I was tired of KF1 and I hardly found any decent games on sui and hoe, mostly just groups of friends hoarding servers. Also, on my return attempt to KF1, I must admit it felt a bit clunky and, well, old.

a game from 2009 felt old?????? no ♥♥♥♥. it's still far better and more enjoyable than KF2, which is filled with casuals who just shoot at everything without thinking about it.

Overall I'd say I prefer KF1, but KF2 is still an enjoyable game with great sound and weapon design. I used to think it sucked, but I've given it another try last week and it is in a pretty good place.

KF2 is mainly disappointing because it could have been a lot more.

they're about the same I think, but the horizons server on KF1 is the funnest I think : )

Killing Floor 1 is more arcadey. Enemy behavior is more consistent which is both good in the sense that high level play is very much about practice and less about luck, and bad because it could appear to be stale or repetitive. The perks are pretty simple and all are effective. Maps are fairly straight-forward and varied.

Killing Floor 2 feels more "cinematic" than 1. The graphics are MUCH better, the audio is much better, and it's definitely more atmospheric. Unpredictable enemies mean a tougher challenge however they may seem unfair at points due to this. There's a larger variety of perks however some seem rather redundant or underpowered currently. The maps are designed in a way that there's usually no one perfect spot to hold out, which may be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.

If you can get both, I'd recommend it. If you HAD to pick between one or the other, it's preference. If you want a game you can play endlessly with other people or alone, go with KF1. If you want a game that has some pretty epic and gory fights with a kick-ass soundtrack, get KF2.

Kick-ass soundtrack and KF2? Those two don't go together
Well, it does have some great tracks, but it also has pretty damn bad ones too. I mean, what the hell made them go with Christian Metal bands and Metalcore? KF1's soundtrack on the other hand is consistently great all the way (provided you don't count the cancerous Christmas/Event tracks, those are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful and whoever made them should die, along with whoever had the bright idea of event zed reskins!)

I mean, taste in music is subjective, but the general consensus seems to be that most people are pretty happy with Demon Hunter and the like.
