Descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech’s failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the European Union. Just one month after the conclusion of the events in the original KILLING FLOOR, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray; communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into hiding. Not all have given up hope though... A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together, paid for by Horzine, to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them.

Yeah I definitely like this map, looks fantastic and beautiful. Lots of obvious ammo drops so you don't run out. Looks like a Tour de France ambushed by zeds. Nice for a change of scenery.
Thanks for the like :)
I agree with Tunnel$, map looks great and has a good flow. Other than crawling with Zeds, the map is very relaxing.
I only have two big criticisms that I hope can help:
- 1st is that the lighting can feel a bit harsh on my eyes, especially with the god rays. Lighting can be a bit dim and shadows can be a bit dark.
- 2nd, and more important I think, is the forest-wall on the edge of the map, it totally breaks the illusion. It would be far better to just put up a low stone wall or fence with a blocking volume, and extend the illusion of the forest beyond it. Or maybe use the far side to spawn Zeds off screen.
Hope these help!
As for the lighting I am not sure right now. I will tweak it, but I liked the strong godrays. I will see to reduce it ;).
As for the forest-walls I will add some vegetation to it to make it less obvious in some places.
Thanks for the feedback :).
The maps looks good.
I found two bugs. The Zeds can't reached me at these points:

The second bug is the too much ammo. I guess the true KF players think it's unfair.
Up-voted by 7.
Thank you as well :).
Kinda stupid I didn't notice these two obvious bugs. I will fix them. Maybe I have to move the car away.
First I had too few ammo, then I added way to much. I will reduce these as well.
Thanks for all the feedback :).
I will work on an update for this map fixing the bugs.
More feedback is always welcome.
Okay, I'm stay tuned. :)
update has been release ;)
Just put this on my modded server. I like the outdoor maps day and night. This one is really nice.
cool, thank you - I will soon release an updated version of this map with some bugfixes - in case you want to wait for that.
Okay, thanks again for everything so far.
Update v1.1 is now uploaded, so have fun :)
Update v1.1
- ammo reduced from 63 to 21
- sun brightness reduced by ~50%
- mores vegetation added near the treewall
- collision improved
- AI improved
- some changes to the map were made
(added some props)
(added some ramps to reach more places)
(changed position of a pod near the start)
(replaced some cars or changed position)
I guess there's still too much ammo. I hadn't needed buy ammo and armour.
Anyway, it's has become better. :)
I did take a look at KF-BurningParis and did pretty much match its amount of pickups. So it shouldn't differ to much. Maybe due to the open nature of the map its easier to spot pickups.
It's a good idea, I think.
I agree with that in KF-BurningParis has good ammo locations.
Yeah I agree, they are just so easy to spot out in the open.
Latest patch broke some of the textures, needs to be fixed :X
Also, consider adding this to the Steam Workshop
Thanks for your reply, but it looks like I will have to take the map down.
The map depends on a custom material, but these aren't officially supported. I didn't know about it when I started working on this map. Custom Textures are possible with Material-Instances, but without the Custom Material I created for this map it just doesn't work.
It looks like every new update will break this map again.
If Tripwire releases an update that supports custom materials, then it will be possible to permanently fix this map. Maybe this update will fix the map without editing it again.
Thanks for all the support and good feedback.
Sorry, I don't know much about map making, but can't you compile the map again with the latest SDK? That usually fixes it. This happens to most maps every time TWI adds a new official map. Yours isn't the only one with issues.
Worth a try I'd say :X
Well that is really inconvenient for Fans and Content-Creators. So for every new update in the next few years I have to update the map every single time?
As well it looks like the lighting gets broken every time for me.
I will make an update for the map this time and will see how it turns out when they release their next update.
Okay, here is the update of the map for the last KF2-Update.
Looks like every KF2-Update will break the map.
I hope it works again for everyone. Some response is appreciated.
Working good again, thanks for the update :)
I installed the new version. Seems to be working fine. Thanks for the update.
