I tried liking KF2 but it just lacks the crispness and the atmosphere of KF1. I also missed the shop lady with her opening shop in the weirdest locations in between rounds. So yeah, KF2 lacks charm IMO and I still like KF1 more even on its aging UE2.5 engine. I don't think KF3 will find my interest, with all the multiplayer games going "live service" and all.
I am a fan ever since KF was a mode of UT2004. I played KF1 a hella lot. This game has a really atmosphere that I can't really explain. I have less than 1h play time on KF2...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like this. I kept thinking maybe I just wasn't giving it a fair chance but I loved KF1 and was immediately put off by KF2.
I felt the same way about Red Orchestra 2 to a much lesser extent. I was super hyped about Tripwire overall at the time and thought it was awesome a mod team was getting funding to make the full-scale games they wanted, and they basically just immediately lost all momentum after that.
