The new Killing Floor

And it ain't your daddy's Killing Floor.

IGN has a preview of the third DLC, and it really is massive. Along with the Husk specimen with its ranged attack, the new maps (one of which is a community creation), the new Demolitions perk, and another perk level overall, the weapon additions are dead-righteous:

The Support class now tops off with a fully automatic AA12 Auto Shotgun that chews through large groups of enemies in a terrifyingly short time. As great as it is, you'll definitely want to make sure you're watching your ammo because it's very easy to expend it all if you're not careful. Likewise, the Sharpshooter can try out the new M14 Enhanced Battle Rifle and benefit from its new laser designator, accessible by using the middle mouse button. On the Commando side, players trade in their AK-47 for a new SCAR Mk 17, which is, in my opinion at least, one of the most enjoyable weapons in the game.

By far the most inventive of the new weapons is the Medic's MP7 Medic Gun. To lessen the need for medics to be right next to their teammates in order to heal them, the developers have upgraded this standard machinegun to shoot healing darts built with Horzine technology.

The holy grail of Killing Floor lands Thursday. The Plucky Pounding begins Friday night.
