Whats up with the Assault badge? The first time I unlocked this I was able to choose from 3 different rocket launchers, 2 actual rocket launchers, and one gun that shoots these bombs that bounce all over the place, and after that first game I can only choose the gun that spurts bombs out. The rocket launchers are no longer there for me to switch to. Anyone else unlocked this yet?

Good game last night. Oh yeah, zew you got some more KZ tips.. the one you gave earlier worked good last night. Improved my score (a bit). This game isn't coming natural to me like COD does, I'm still on that learning curve.

Killzone.com seems to be down atm. Also, Sev continues to get shorter the more I play through the Campaign.

That's so funny you say that cause I noticed the same thing. I think it was on the bridge of the ship after you slam your fists on Garza's coffin.. I was standing there next to the other squad members and they were so much taller than me and I was thinking WTF. So I started pressing the crouch button cause I thought it was stuck or something. :lol:

Even as a medic I'm crazy. I'll be knee deep in the enemy just to revive or health pack friendlies. Just don't force me to be squad leader.

I'm the same way. I'll run straight out into the Saluman Market square to revive someone and then quick run back into the building. And if I'm not mistaken, you can zap people with that charger if you want to be a real medic warrior.

Honestly, IMHO, squad leaders are pretty useless if you have a good tactition.

Yeah, I'm surprised that anyone can throw the spawn points and not just a SL.

I like to cloak and hide in a corner and let my team members spawn on me too. Works well since that doesn't fade with time.

I saw your turrets all over the damn place last night. I know once it was on the enemy team and I'd toss a grenade and shoot it once or twice with the gun and it'd die. Of course, I was always getting taken out by someone attending it or walking by, but it was a suicide mission I was glad to take on. :D Then I think you were on my team and I saw them constantly as well. I was always checking if they were yours or the permanently placed ones.

I like using them liberally around where the action is or put the where I expect enemy to be coming from. In smaller maps, I tend to hang around them. They're like the eyes in the back of my head. When I hear them going off, I know an attack is coming from that direction and either move to flank to take them out since my turret weakened them or get into a better position in the room to take on whoever is coming. They also knock out drones with rockets so on open maps if I see drones, I drop a turret nearby. On that one vasari hammer map I think my turrets probably took out a good 10-15 drones during an open field fire fight.

They want aim assist back.

:lol:
I've never been a fan of the CoD series, but I just recently played CoD2 on :360: and aim assist was just annoying. Half the time it didn't work right. Maybe it was improved in later versions though.

Um does anyone experience small bits of freezing during the single player campaign while loading? Every time it begins to load, everything freezes for a few seconds and then it's fine. It's actually gotten me killed at least twice.

Yes. It's not long and not in the middle of anything, but it's annoying.

my issue is that I don't feel like I'm getting the messages, I don't hear people talking that much, its not clear, and I don't think I'm getting the entire message when people talk... its like its getting cut off.

Controller Issues
We have not stopped looking into the complaints and will see what we can do about it. Any possible changes will have to be carefully implemented and tested before being deployed though.
We will have an update on this later this week.

Most likely this will be a long process until we get what we want, but it looks like they will further address it, and not patch it, in a week.

About the short hero... I think Broly's right... I think we're not looking through his eyes, but through his chest. In a few scenes where the camera "flys into his head" you see it actually flys to near his shoulder... And I don't know why I'm so concerned about this. :lol:

That boss fight was really friggen hard. The part with all the guys with Rocket Launchers was a PAIN in the ass.

Well, I did manage to turn it back on and beat it. Thankfully it did save right before the final part of that fight. Just...seriously, that fight is pretty ridiculous. I need to go back and get pretty much every piece of intel and Helghast signs. I think I destroyed...6 signs and got 8 pieces of Intel. At least this campaign's longer than Halo 3's...although not by much maybe 30 minutes.
I was going to say I spent more time playing Halo 3, but I did it on... Mythic... or whatever the highest difficulty was, the first time through, so I tooook my time.:lol:

I noticed hanging back and taking out enemies don't work well in this game. At least in some areas they'll keep coming.

You should.........

Grab the rocket launcher, jump down on either side. There's a little tunnel where it can't get you. It'll come over though, shoot the blue things with your handgun, hit it with the rocket launcher when its stuck, after two shots hit the blue things again and then 2 more rocket launcher shots to finish it.

get ready to start fucking with the game as a tactitian... it's fun because you basically decide when you want chaos to start. not my type but it's fun.

for turret kills if you have a hard time just play longer game types (ie. rooms with all TDM, capture, assntn, etc.) and set your turrets on elevated surfaces and areas with open fences since turrets can shoot rigt through them.

I got 10 head shots with one well place turret. it was silly since all the kills were on snipers.

So I picked this up yesterday and played a lot of multiplayer... it's awesome. I just have some minor complaints about the controls:

I usually play on 360 and I'm having a hard time getting used to FPS on the PS3. I get hand cramps after about an hour with the DS3 and I have a really annoying issue where I accidentally activate R3 all the time when I'm aiming, especially in close quarters. The controls in general are a little frustrating but I'll adapt. I've tried both Standard 1 and Alt 2, neither of which is very good. I like having L1 for iron sights but with Alt 2 you have to hold L2 to crouch so it's hard to crouch and use iron sights. I wish I could just configure it to copy Call of Duty controls. Also, sprinting isn't as fluid as CoD... it's a little frustrating because it won't stop sprinting as easily as you'd expect it to.

Graphics and gameplay are top notch. I'll "echo" what other people have said about voice chat on PSN though, it sucks. Too many people have cheap BT headsets and I hear a lot of feedback, especially in the 32 player rooms. I picked up a $15 USB headset from PS2 SOCOM on eBay and it works perfectly.

I have it. It works excellent.

Only problem is that sometimes you'll lose connection to the PS3 in the middle of a firefight online and die. It's pretty damn annoying. It doesn't happen too often (about once an hour), but enough to where I just decided to learn the DS3.

don't bother, I bought the frag fx when it first came out and it was a piece of crap. That's what happens when you adapt mouse movement to a stick movement. It adds lag and is actually more inaccurate (and on top of KZ2 lag.. that's baaaaad).

that converter is probably a better bet

Aleman

03-04-2009, 06:49 PM

I think the best way to describe the single player is a mash-up between Gears and Call of Duty. Lots of visual and character similarity to Gears: similar color palate, destruction everywhere, "macho" space marine characters, wonky vehicles. And pretty much a carbon copy of Call of Duty game design: linear progression, cool scripted events, engaging atmosphere, chaos everywhere, occasional infinitely respawning enemies, useless friendly AI (all progression depends on you only), etc.

I'm not very far yet though so things could change.

I had a problem too. Thing is, they will keep spawning till you get to the other side. I just sprinted halfway with the Grenade Launcher, shot the guys i passed real quick then sprinted to the far end and CROUCHED and did the same thing. Only took 2 tries after i realized they stopped spawning when you reach the far side. The first time i didn't notice the extra enemy in the barracks i had grenaded.

Finished the campaign on Veteran. I had hoped to play again on Elite but after seeing how much trouble Veteran was, I won't even bother.

There were quite a few 'controller throwing' sections. I literally died 50+ times on some parts. I hated the infinite spawns! The last level sucked ass.

Anyway, I'm just happy it's over so I can focus on MP. It's a shame because I think the frustrating and annoying parts really subtracted from my enjoyment of the game.

The Train part is really frustrating, too, but there is sort of a way to cheese it. I'm trying to get my Least Deaths count to 0 on everything first, though. I'm not too far away, but I still have the final area to deal with.

They seem to be pretty common from what I've read, although I didn't get any freezing in about three hours of multiplayer yesterday. If it's hardware related, my PS3 is only a month old...

Happened to me once on Sunday. Was first overall in a game and my console froze up right when I killed someone. Lost all that exp. :cry:

Luckily, I was only 21 points away from getting the Scout anyway, so it wasn't a big hit.

Ranked up again tonight after 2 matches. I earned about 36 points per match, so it's not a lot of points. I guess it'll be easier to earn points once I unlock a better class or something. It is really fun, although the matches I ran into tonight had almost no one talking on my side.

Can someone tell me what a Squad Invite is? I got one, but I didn't know how to access it. Didn't matter though, my team won that :)

Press select once you see the message and you can accept. IMHO, they're worthless in non clan matches, but all they provide are a dedicated chat channel (of which I don't know how to access), and that you can spawn on the leader granted he's alive, which imho, is usually better serviced by a tactician.

NamPaehc

03-05-2009, 01:14 AM

Yeah it has frozen up on me 2 times. Both times I could hear other people complaining about it. And once I heard someone tell his friend he'd back because the system locked up on him. Only for the rest of us it was fine oddly.

RelentlessRolento, let me know if you are disappointed with the C4 mines or not. I hate that you have to cluster them together. I once put them in a line and watch a guy walk through one after the other until the last one FINALLY took him down lol. Might have had armor on but I was stunned at how weak they charges were.

03-05-2009, 03:24 AM

Holy crap, be careful when you quit a game... I just scored 200 points in my best match ever, ranked up, got my ribbons, etc. then quit the lobby. My points didn't stick :(

Another complaint is that I wish every server had auto faction balance on. If it's off the teams usually become lopsided but no one wants to do anything about it because it makes for easy points.

Anyways, I'm doing way better now. Settled on Alt 2 controls + hold for iron sights + toggle crouch. I also bumped the default sensitivities down (x by 2 and y by 1) and that made it way way easier to aim. Also learned to use fast single shot bursts from the assault rifle instead of three shot bursts or spray and pray. Only use iron sights for long distance and crouch as much as possible.

The game finished it gave me my thirty points and I ranked up to corp. So I see that the game is counting down to the next round and I don't want to play anymore so I quit and checked my stats and they weren't there. Anybody explain this?

Man, I started the Campaign on Veteran, I breeze through it fairly easy until the damn last part. Was a pain in the ass, almost unbearable but I managed to finished it. Imagine me trying to beat it on Elite *cries*. Some reason I found Elite to be pretty easy as well when I play some of the levels but I know, when I get to the last part, I'll probably be pulling my hair out. I got so frustrated because at certain times I'd just tell myself "If only this game can use a keyboard and mouse!"

For the Intel, I only need 4 more so not bad for first run. For The Symbols, I dunno, I missed about half of them and that means it'll get annoying searching around.

Multiplayer seem fine for me, no lags and such and the usual annoying kids. I haven't played it much, it's pretty decent but I don't feel satisfied from it though.

Thanks for the stats answer. I'm having a bit of trouble with the game right now because sometimes I'll be in cover and it seems a bit glitchy. Like if I'm reloading sometimes I can't more around in cover from one side to the other or I'll be in cover and an enemy will be on the other side and I'll still be taking damage from him. I've cursed quite a few times but I am still liking the game and have gotten used to the controls. It's very psychological because the "heavy" controls make the weapons seem really slow moving and in turn it makes my thumb feel "tired" after an hour or so. It's odd.

I just finished the SP campaign. I was only playing on the second difficulty (trooper I think?) but holy shit was I close to quitting at the end. That has to be one of the hardest ending levels to a game that I've played in years. The part with the rocket launcher guys in the huge palace room almost made me cry.

Overall I would rate the campaign a solid 8/10. The campaign was very chaotic and fast paced, felt a lot like CoD. I HATED the dialogue, was my biggest problem with the campaign. The story and voice acting were just ok to me, neither great nor terrible.

So far the multiplayer gets a very good 9/10 from me. I'm not a big console MP guy (usually leave MP to my PC) but I really like this game's MP overall.

They already said they weren't changing the control "problems"... so I'm willing to bet they are saying they changed something, and being vague... and waiting to see how many people fall for it, to calm the complaining.

The only thing I'd like changed is the slight input lag. I beat the game today, and it was awesome, but I never did feel like I was fully in control, because of that slight input lag.

I'm really, really liking the multiplayer. The learning curve was very steep but I've finally got the hang of it and can't put it down. I finally realized that if you are in a squad you can spawn on the squad leader and that takes a lot of the trucking across the map out of the game. Also I really like playing as a medic, it reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Oh, that makes sense, though it kills the ENG class since they only have one main weapon and you could easily be killed before finding another weapon to pick up. I wish this game was kinda like MGO where the creator of the game can list what kind of things they have disable in the game or if it's a certain rank only. I can't count how many times I click a game to be told I'm too high or too low. Would help also if certain weapons are disabled.

Also within the last 24 hours the game has been crashing and freezing on me a lot. And random disconnects. Prior to this I had no problems at all. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I don't really think anybody can ever get five kills in a match with the aerial bots without just doing it against a friend willing to die for you. That thing has such horrible accuracy, any kills it gets is pure luck. It also gets taken down within ten seconds of going up by the turrets and other people just shooting at it.

About the controller tweak:

It has been changed, but not much. If you were on the fence about this game and were hoping that this would change your mind about the game, you are mistaken. What I will say is that if you do find the controls difficult, try sitting down with the game for an hour or two, and really the controls will feel good to you.

Additionally, I can now kill people using the scopes, which was impossible before the controls update patch.

I disagree; I find the controls to be a BIG difference. I had completely written off this game as unplayable tripe, but with the new tweaks it's now not only playable, but fun.

Sure, it doesn't feel as buttery smooth as COD or Resistance or Unreal, but now it actually feels like a game with a slightly different (but not bad) style as opposed to one that is just completely broken.

I tried the game tonight after work, since the patch came out. Having just played it for hours before work, I can safely say that they did little to nothing to the controls. In single player it seemed like the iron sights came up faster. In multiplayer you can also now turn faster (from what I noticed).

Other than that, there weren't any changes that I could tell.
I'm not saying there are control issues... but if you had them before, they are still there, unless you wanted to turn faster while sprinting (which is nice).

Even if there were more changes than that, they certainly weren't drastic enough to say it went from completely broken to great. That's just silly, and proves that most of the control problems are in people's heads, and because of the crap they read online (which has completely overblown the small control issues there are).

The input lag is still there... which is the main problem, imo.

shinryuu

03-07-2009, 02:27 AM

After a few games, they didn't really tweak the controls. It feels more like auto-aim, or some form of aim assist, that's all. They may have fixed SOME (very little) lag input, but c'mon, it doesn't take that much to learn that all they did was turn on aim assist.

Looking forward to playing some more MP this afternoon with CAG's. I honestly still have no clue about what you guys are talking about when it comes to Boost Ribbons/Medals, and the problems of obtaining them/it.

As far as the Bot accuracy goes, if they were more accurate, they'd be broken. The point of Bots and to an even more extreme extent, the the Tactician's Spawning capability is to cause chaos. And for some reason, it makes the game extremely fun.

the lifebar for engineer bots in KZ is pretty small and they don't do too much damage, but well placed bots are beasts. High ground near heavy traffic accounts for some crazy ass headshots.

Thongsy

03-07-2009, 03:26 PM

I like the ENG class, the bots are great for when you need to slow the enemy down, such as in Search and Destroy. The classes are all pretty balanced, so there is no need to change or take anything out. Once you play more and unlock certain medals you can mix and match some class abilities so it adds more variety.

RelentlessRolento

03-07-2009, 03:29 PM

agreed. every class can be outdone if played smart. engineer initially felt like crap when i was against them and when I started as them, but as you learn what they do well then you kick ass.

my 1 bot that got 10 head shots in one round is a good testament of that.

something small I'm super happy about with this game is that it dosn't split games up from "Ranked" or "Player"... I never liked seperating online play into "pretend play" and "for real"... it keeps stats more honest and it's also easier to find games. that is probably my biggest gripe with XBL.

The deadzone is a lot smaller. I only tried it with my recon... All I have to say is be afraid! I was hitting EVERYTHING I put my scope on for once... Sniping is a lot easier now. Not sure how I feel about that, because it felt a little to easy but hopefully that is just because it is the class I usually use in FPS.

Need to get into a tight hallway fight to see if that is better too.

PS> Does spot and mark add blue x's on targets for the whole team, or just the sniper? I think it adds red dots for others on the radar at least but I couldn't get anyone else to confirm about the x's.

NVM> it marks players on your screen and lets other players on your team have them show up on their radar. More usefull to yourself than the team but works great for almost any class.

How does it keep stats "more honest"? You could go into a game full of your friends and they could let you headshot them all day to pad your stats. It's exactly the opposite of "more honest".

Sniping was always easy, you can hit them anywhere with the sniper rifle and they'll die, I feel that's a little unbalanced. I usually don't snipe in games but with the way it is, even I can do that since you can just aim for the body instead of the head and you'll hit something, even a shot in the shoulder will kill you.

its still more honest than splitting the two since it takes into account all games played. you still get bullshit of friends helping in ranked online, so here at least you get a dick in your mouth when your not with your friends stat boosting.

i thought the flying bot was tactician?

Thongsy

03-07-2009, 05:44 PM

The flying bot is the tactican secondary ability. But it's best to not pay attention to those as they do pretty much nothing. Turrets are easy enough to destroy, and I like how they are, any more powerful and they're be overpowered. You just need to know where to put them and maybe watch over them. Though I don't don't and they still kill a few people each round.

Just destroy the turrets that are in terrible spots. No point of them being around if they aren't doing anything. That's what I do.

Yeah, teamkilling turrets is perfectly acceptable, especially since someone might set up a turret that is perfect for one game, but becomes dead weight once you switch to the next game.

That's not the point, I don't think they add any fun to the game and are mostly just annoying.

You mean they're not fun when they're shooting you or you make the mistake of running into one head on? Otherwise, it's tons of fun to watch my turret take out guys, especially when I'm down waiting to respawn. Also very useful to know when/where an enemy that you don't see on your radar is coming from.

Sniping was always easy, you can hit them anywhere with the sniper rifle and they'll die, I feel that's a little unbalanced. I usually don't snipe in games but with the way it is, even I can do that since you can just aim for the body instead of the head and you'll hit something, even a shot in the shoulder will kill you.

I meant easy as terms of placing your scope on someone. It was deathly hard to do with 2X across a large map. But with the change and 5X I was picking people off left and right with ease.

I do hate that it is 1 shot kill too.. save for assault. I felt bad because I was hitting people in the foot lol.

Finished the single player on my Gamefly rental. Fun once I got the hang of the floaty controls. Although, I didn't feel like I got the hang of the controls until after the 1.20 patch so maybe there is a fix. Like CoD4, this feels like is was built mostly for multiplayer with a very polished but short single player.

A little below right now, but I expect that will change today if all goes according to plan, and I don't go insane.

The bolt gun would be hilarious. It's a OHKO because it explodes afterwards, and it sticks people to walls. If you want to balance it, it'd have to have a low amount of shots.

Lightning Gun though...yeah, it'd be 100% broken. Even if its' ammo ran out, it'd be broken. But it's best weapon I've ever seen in an FPS. Well...console FPS. It's just a blast to use, and once you get it, it makes the rest of that level a breeze.

i completely agree about the spawn points. i had this one team that put the spawn in the marketplace perfectly lined up for the opponents' easy kills. can't you at least think "tactically" where to put the spawn grenade as to not get your team killed? i don't know whats worse really bad spawn points or no spawn points at all... in those instances, I don't even have to ask why we're losing.

but i think the medic situation is different. i can only heal one person at a time. so even if you see a medic around you, the medic might still be in the cool down phase of the defrillabator. And if I can't secure the situation, I'm not going to revive you. Whats the point of being revived to died 10 seconds later? You might mistake me killing people for ignorning you. It's killing people to wait until the defill fills up again. And in most situations, its not worth it to sacrifice myself to revive you. For mission objectives, its a definite yes. So, if you see me around, be patient and I'll get to you.

Saboteur is badass. I always get the assassination kill, combine with boost and it's lethal.

What I'm looking forward to is spawn point + boost. Boost behind enemy lines, throw a spawn point out, then raise some hell.

I just recently acquired my scout. I'm a sniper in every FPS I play and I'm fairly decent at at. I have 2 small complaints about the scout, they are both, somewhat, about the cloak.

A) If I'm running and I have the cloak on, by the icon, I don't know if it is on. I have to stop and see if it turns blue. Alittle wasteful if I'm trying to run to a nice spot to sit.

2) Its alittle difficult to spot guys with my screen blue. And if I do see them, I zoom in and the guy I'm looking for blends right in because his colors no longer "pop" for me.

No. You should be getting it with the rifle if the screen is blue when you're killing people.

The multiplayer seems to be really going downhill. I didn't play for like five days and now all of a sudden every team deathmatch is nothing but a spawn camping, Assault-class-rocket-boost-bum-rush.

Yikes. It really exposes how primitive/unbalanced some of the game design is. They should add more spawn points and let them rotate when a main base gets overrun. The Assault class needs to be either removed or seriously nerfed. Spawn grenades should be able to be destroyed and should not give people temporary invincibility when they spawn there. Invisible snipers? Who thought that was a good idea?

I don't really think the Assault class is all that overpowering. I could barely get a kill with it without committing suicide. You pretty much have to almost have a direct hit to kill them with it.

I do agree with the spawn camping bs, and I know we have a couple of people on CAG who think it's fun. All it does is grief the other team and makes it an unenjoyable game for all. One team is now stuck in their base and the people on the other team who are actually playing have no challenger to stop them from achieveing the objectives.

I think the real problem is the "controller adjustment" update they did. I'm not sure if they made it more responsive or not, but they surely did add an aim assist.

So what you guys are saying is that the game is now Battle of the Explosives?

Seems that way. I was just in a game where like 5 people on the other team would do nothing but boost over to our base and shoot rockets at their feet in the midst of all of us as we spawned.

They all had red highlighted insignias (top x%?).

Sure, you CAN do something like that. But it's more fun to just single you out and blow you up :bouncy:

Got to the final part of Act 3 of Elite Campaign. Campaign can officially fuck off.

Spawn camping and spam fests are more prevalent in 32-man servers, so just join smaller servers. I still believe spawn camping is a legit tactic, just as it is in TF2. I do agree with the spawn nades thing. There should be a way to destroy them, or perhaps they should only be planted in certain areas of the map because way too many people just throw them on the objective especially in S&D.

I don't have too many problems with MP except shot detection/lag-related problems. I don't understand why you guys complain about something annoying is happening in one server. If that's the case, just leave.

Speaking of Killzone being hard as hell. I recently started playing Killzone on PSP again (was about 2/3 through, but stopped) that game is so FRIGGEN HARD...
