Killing Floor est l’un des rares FPS de zombies réussis. Le concept de ce mod pour UT2004 est on ne peut plus simple : au début du round, vous courrez acheter vos armes chez le marchand. Une fois le warmup terminé, vous devez survivre à une vague de zombies : plus vous tuez de zombies, plus vous gagnez d’argent et mieux vous pourrez vous équiper pour la prochaine de vague de zombies…
