Let me tell you about
What is Call of Misery? Well, it's Call of Chernobyl with many gameplay / visual / sound features ported from famous Misery mod for Call of Pripyat what was released about 2 weeks ago. Call of Chernobyl - new separate game what requires Call of Pripyat for legal reasons and features 32 maps from all 3 games (including underground ones), correctly working a-life and focuses on freeplay (there's still story option with basic Shadow of Chernobyl plot if you want some kind of end goal and ending). I didn't like original Misery that much because same 3 maps from Call of Pripyat get old very fast (even if they are big), but with much more massive world Misery mechanics have more breathing room I think. Also fact what Call of Chernobyl maps are properly populated and are relatively bug free unlike piece of shit Lost Alpha. So, tl;dr lots of hurr durr survival in beginning and emergent gameplay for dozens of hours, stalker is still not ded in 2016 You need: 1. Call of Chernobyl 1.4.12 (3.02gb) http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/downloads/call-of-chernobyl-1412-full 2. Call of Chernobyl patch 1.4.14 (few mb) http://www.moddb.com/company/team-epic/downloads/coc-1414-patch 3. Call of Misery 0.9 (1.79gb) and it's updates 0.92-0.925 http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/call-of-misery-full-version-09 4. Call of Misery 0.971 (few kb) and English translation http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/english-trans-call-of-misery-b092 (yeah, yeah, dl all these separate patches are pain in butt, so if you don't wanna deal with wait maybe it's good idea to wait 1.0 release) Gameplay video so you can decide if all the hassle worth it or not: https://youtu.be/r8kqrSGg-e4 I played the original Misery and was also not a fan. I loved the oppressive type of gameplay but it had a ton of quirks that made progress just not enjoyable.
Now this Call of Misery for SoC sounds extremely interesting and gives me yet another excuse to replay this gem! Thanks for sharing. I've owned kf2 for a long time now, but I gave up playing it because it sucked at that point (crappy netcode especially if I remember correctly). Might have to give it another go now that it's out...
L4D is a coop game with zombies following a linear path from the start to the end of a map, with the occasional siege from zombies.
Killing Floor is a coop game with zombies in which you have to survive a number of waves on an open, interconnected map. They're not the same. But possibly, reading the first few word of each sentence, there are a few small similarities at least. Dickbutt.

It's apparently a "very short parody game," but even if you don't care to play it at all, you should watch the trailer in the article. The 2D sprite versions of iconic Doom monsters, objects and textures are pretty well done. cute monsters. Nice little project.
They need to get a new trailer with someone less awful playing though, painful to watch! Looked a bit meh at first but got a lot more appealling throughout.
The voice acting is spectacularly terrible. I hope there's an option to disable that. Melee combat also looks rubbish. Everything else looks good. I like the psychic powers and the quick spin-up on the assault cannon. The gameplay was a bit unspectacular apart from the 'stealers crawling down the pillar, that was cool. Still hyped tho. amazing how far we come, i remember the original.... visuals were doom quality. Now i'm watching this super high poly reboot and i'm not even impressed. Art quality isn't high, and voice acting is unintentionally hilarious:
"I am the angel of death" says the terminator, voiced by Gareth from a call center in Slough. The melee always looked incomprehensible....and I surprisingly really liked the corridor bit at the end.
The problem with that 2d doom tribute thingy is that on the one hand they have put all that effort into nice crunchy pixel art, but then they contradict it with all that blurry glowy stuff on the missiles and explosions. It's a bit of a schoolboy error :/
Speaking of Space Hulk, I've just stumbled inadvertently on this pretty awesome cosplay:
