I will be honest you, I really want to like this game(due to being my first steps at the franchise), but at the same time, I just CAN´T, it has really aged up like milk, and without a single bit of a doubt, the gameplay is the worst offender in therms of "general experience", due to how annoying it can be due to multiple factors:
-Being only allowed to use ONLY 3 GUNS if you want to use a flashlight, which you won´t likely carry the other two(the Shotgun and the M4 Semiauto) with you most of the time, and you would had to rely on the airsoft 9MM of your sidearm(unless you use marksman, which said perk that makes it into a proper handgun)
-The hitboxes are awful, like really, they don´t connect at all when the zeds ARE AT POINT BLANK
-Grinding levels is THE WORST, specially for Commando and Support.
For perspective, leveling up to the max Marksman took me like 100 hours in a legitimate way
(I managed to level up to the max 2 classes in 80 hours at KF3, and also leveled up a bit other classes to, for giving you an idea)
I naturally gave up and cheated with EXP farms from the workshop to get the classes leveled up to the max
-Poorly done spawns of zeds, I mean, you could see them blatantly spawn arround you and they don´t even try to hide the fact that they spawn RIGHT BEHIND YOU
-Servers constantly failing to work consistently and somewhat consistent crashes
-The way the trader works, with not being allowed to do last second purchases due to really late timing of the promp
-Badly done movement sistem, it´s practically a Counter Strike but with extra steps, and on top of that, the zeds can get very annoying with how they can mess you up in really cheap ways such as the previously mentioned blatant spawns and not properly working animations of their attacks(with the patriarch with his missiles being the worst offender)
HOWEVER, the gun varierity such as the M7A3, MK23, ect..... was actually quite interesting, and the ambient aged well and the voicelines of the characters sell well the british setting(due to their accent and usage of slangs)
Back then, I would had given this game a 9, but nowdays it´s really a 5.8 in therms of a general experience.
I literally find the controversial third instatement more enjoyable than this particular game.
