Pros
Pro Co-op campaign for up to 6 players
KF2 boasts a rare co-op experience with up to 6 players, which is not the norm for most games, making it a unique experience.
Pro Visceral combat
The MEAT (Massive Evisceration And Trauma) system designates 22 different contact points on each enemy that will react realistically to players’ attacks – for example, you can cut enemies in half vertically and horizontally, dismember them at the hand or shoulder, even shoot off their lower jaw without removing the head entirely. This level of realism – and ultraviolence – makes the combat incredibly impactful.
Pro Cool time manipulation mechanic
Whenever a player makes a long-range headshot, messy bomb kills, or any other skillful takedown of zeds (the game's zombie-like creatures) it puts every player into 'zed time." This slow downs time, turning everything black and white, except for gunfire, explosions and blood, all beautifully rendered. Not only does it make you feel powerful, but also serves as positive reinforcement, since going into "zed time" means you or your team is doing well.
Pro Lots of content
The game includes lots of places and secret areas to explore, as well as sidequests to find, an extensive leveling system, and huge amounts of loot.
Pro Fun comedic story
There are lots of jabs and jokes in this game. Basically you play as a jerk, which leads to a number of humorous situations that shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
Pro Large amount of player created levels to complete
Cons
Con Currently no listen server function
It can be a pain to set up a private multiplayer game due to the omission of listen server functionality. Dedicated server support is available but not well documented; it can be daunting and time consuming to set up for new users or those who are not technically inclined.
Con Not Co-Op
Con Difficult to learn and master
Con Grindy
Casting magic requires reagents, and getting reagents means farming trash mobs. This isn’t very fun when you need to stock up for some difficult bosses.
