I thought they might not have said anything yet but I thought I'd double check. I'm really interested to see the martial artist, the berserker hasn't quite clicked for me so I'm hoping the MA does.
Eh, they're perfectly manageable on Hard and Suicidal with a sufficient amount of options if you're at approximately level 10. Berserkers bodyblocking them with parries whilst the rest opens fire, said perk continuously stumbling them with Pulverizers, the aforementioned 'spamming' of AA12's, pacing his rage sprint with EMP's, explosive 'nades also whittle them down a fair bit on those difficulties despite their explosion resistance, welding doors to buy time and you have additional ways of kiting 'em if a Medic (who has no problems outpacing them) keeps everyone healthy. The real problem with Scrakes is public server players generally not feeling comfortable leaving them be as they spawn in their harmless power-walking state and said players also not prioritizing headshots whenever they do open fire far too soon.
I'm wondering how they're going to balance it out, 8 classes is a lot. Really interested in the Gunslinger class seeing as how I loved using dual magnums with my Sharpshooter.
Zed time + MEAT has provided me with more "holy fucking SHIT this is so cool" moments than pretty much any other FPS
Yup. Not everyone should be going for the high value targets
6 player match normal and hard, no problem
Definitely can agree on this one, mainly when it comes to the boss and people that don't know what to do once Hans comes out. Tbh it just all depends on your squad and their ranks and if they know what they're doing.

I play with my gang and I usually go completely solo, I never have any trouble with scrakes. Only FPs can be troublesome so once I find one I contact the rest of the gang that I am being tailed by an FP and that they should be ready
I agree that the Berserker should receive a little something to help make the class stand out more, but comments like "Medics are just as good at melee as they are" strike me as redundant. Arguably better at tanking, yes, but Berserker gets various benefits - undertuned or not is a different matter - for swinging their weapons as it is that other perks don't possess, and do you really want a Medic to selfishly put himself into the fray (with all the risks that entails) instead of doing his job being the team's lifeline? I want no part of that on the higher difficulties.
Ignoring vision of Stalkers and increased Zed Time duration (both huge boons), Commandos are good for space control. I've been playing with a high-level one in HoE games and they're seemingly well-suited to clear out lesser Zeds from afar before they can cause interference for the rest of the team, as well as higher priority targets like Husks if the opportunity exists. They're prone to being swarmed though if said area control is falling apart and their slower movement speed compared to Medic and Berserker is also a weakness Commando needs to be mindful of, but that's a fair balance choice for a utility class.
Keeping the button pressed instead of quickly repeating it seems to be slightly faster, yes. The Katana also has a quick strike upon whipping it out if you hold the LMB press as you swap from another weapon to it.
For what it's worth, Fleshpounds are actually easier to parry than Scrakes once you find the general timing for it. All you really have to be careful of is that one leap attack (which has super armor) and even his spin attack can be reliably parried. Look into KF2's console commands and practice that way in an offline solo session.
In all fairness: even if you do have full understanding of the basic gameplay, by the end of the day Killing Floor 2 is still reliant on level gains and the various perk attributes you earn for the higher difficulties so you shouldn't feel too bad about being in the latter group as you say. Hopefully Tripwire eventually forces a level cap server option to automatically boot new or 'inexperienced' players joining Suicidal or Hell on Earth matches for that reason, because anything below level 10 and 20 respectively will be bordering on deadweight regardless of their mechanical skill. That's simply the way the cookie crumbles in this game, but thankfully the XP farming (class requirements included) is nowhere near as insane as in KF1.
Burst fire or single shot for days.Commando is so unsatisfying to play. Dat recoil
