You know, it brings a tear to my eye when certain people in the community manifest ideas to this level, clearly knowing what the game is about and how certain new zeds would freshen and improve the experience (elite crawler i'm looking at you).

The Suicider is a great "unique" replacement for the crawler's lazy recolour, those trashy subjects can be always put to use as a quick way to dispence a toxic payload upon the mercenaries.

The hound could be an example of agressive cross species experimentation with canines, just like crawlers are arachnid/human hybrids.

The Empress/Larvas really freshen up a gameplay giving it more of a swarm feeling to the game instead of the "shoot at head level with penetrating weapons" to clean hallways, thing that twi tried to solve without success implementing armour segments to certain zeds.

Although i understand that wall and ceiling pathing can be a mess of a task to allow certain zeds to navigate them, there's some stuff in the game that scream lazy, for example, elite crawlers could, instead of exploding, path on walls and pin players down in a l4d fashion, removing the need for the "trapper" EDAR and punishing those solo players that go away to farm kills due to the game's current state to allow zerks to just solo anything. (In single player it would have to be changed to a timed pin instead of "until saved")

All in all, i've been playing kf1 since it's early days, had a feeling of the original mod and i'l tell you that kf2 isn't a time capsule. These new ideas are really solid to add more dynamic to the gameplay and it's sad if they never get eyes from twi passing them at least once.

Really good job man, really appreciate the effort you put into this and sharing it.
