this video game is the official version of the original Killing Floor UT2k4 mod. Shouldn't they be merged? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.12.149.149 ( talk) 06:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
They should certainly mention eachother, but the mod and the game are 2 seperate beasts. I'd say they each deserve their own page. TopGunSF 03:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Indeed. While it's essentially the "same" game, the engine has been quite heavily modified, to the point where it's hard for the average player to even recognize it as Unreal 2.5. CaptainColon ( talk) 23:02, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
I'd also like to add the Killing Floor allows the player to eat their own crap and dress in ladies' underwear. Unreal doesn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.229.249.59 ( talk) 05:56, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Currently, the title "Killing Floor (Video Game)" is taken by the original UT2K4 mod. Since this is the official version, I propose that the mod's wiki page should be renamed to "Killing Floor (Unreal Tournament 2004 Mod)", or just "Killing Floor (Mod)", and give the "(Video Game)" page to the official version. Anunnakki ( talk) 00:24, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
It is a computer game, not a video game. Have to play it over steam only.

Does this really belong in the article? All it has for examples are two types of infected that are only descriptively similiar to each other. The developers of the game themselves say the two should not be compared, so thereby I find it unneeded. 98.218.81.113 ( talk) 02:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Here is what was removed:
Even though Killing Floor was released as a total conversion mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 three years before Valve Corporation's Left 4 Dead, another survival horror first-person shooter, the retail version of the game, being released relatively close to Left 4 Dead, has drawn some inevitable comparisons. The Killing Floor developers have stated that the two games are very different.
I would say simply that they should not be compared. Comparing Killing Floor with Left 4 Dead would be like comparing James Bond's Lotus Esprit to the latest racing car, it shouldn't be done. They are two separate products and great at what they are intended to be. Killing Floor is all about atmosphere, tension and great cooperative fights against hordes of Specimens that would like nothing better than to rip you to shreds.

I added a little block of text giving a vague summary(sorry, was out of time, please edit it to improve), and I think that the perks should be explained in depth in the article. Timur Amir ( talk)Timur Amir —Preceding undated comment added 16:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC).
There should be a mention of the ultimate objective of the game, the killing of the specimens being only a means to acquire the finances to sustain an end game money train. Kernel Corn ( talk) 23:14, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
The actual objective is to get through all of the waves of 'Specimens' and defeat the 'Patriarch' (The boss), the money is to buy the weapons and the equipment to complete the objective. Yousou ( talk) 20:56, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
I added a small SDK section of the article. Ithae ( talk) 16:28, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Many other articles one Wikipedia cover large content releases in much the same way as the article had been written. Examples of this are recent iterations of Call of Duty, with pages covering "map packs" and Fallout New Vegas, with the page covering all downloadable content releases. That said, have you even read WP:Gameguide? Because if you had, you'd have seen this has nothing - at all - to do with covering content releases for games. For this reason, i'm reverting it back to how it was. -Evaristé93 19:21, 18 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evaristé93 ( talk • contribs)
Also, just because other articles do something does not automatically make it okay to do in this article. See WP:OTHERSTUFF. – Cosmopolitan ( talk) 05:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)Video game guides. An article about a computer game or video game should summarize the main actions the player does to win the game. But avoid lists of gameplay weapons, items, or concepts. Specific point values, achievements and trophies, time-limits, levels, character moves, character weight classes, and so on are also considered inappropriate. A concise summary is appropriate if it is essential to understanding the game or its significance in the industry. See WP:VGSCOPE.
