Killzone 2 - Gen. Discussion & Info

I hope the demo comes up soon, looking forward to trying it. Was going to buy it from Amazon.ca with the $10 off coupon after trying it, but the code just died. Just my luck!
 
[quote name='Sarrasis']Got a call from GS. Apparently they are doing a midnight launch tomorrow. I wasn't expecting this at all since my local store is pretty small (Bear, DE) and they did not do it for MGS4.

It's gonna be a long night![/quote]

The Govenor's Square gamestop? Yes I got the same call, I'm also shocked considering I saw no signs about it a few days ago, I saw a sign for Halo Wars, sadly I forgot to ask the clerks to confirm it. I guess I won't be the only one there when if it turns out that "Ashley" was wrong lol.
 
[quote name='bmachine']Anyone up for some multiplayer on Friday night? Maybe around 10pm EST?[/quote]

I'm in.
I'll add you to my friend list

Now that you mention it, I didn't get one yet either.[/quote]:bomb::bomb:

If I don't hear anything by tonight, Target/BB/Wallyworld here I come.
 
[quote name='smiggity']Now this is one of the coolest features I have ever seen. Has Socom written all over it, too bad it got stuck with a garbage developer b/c this is some professional work.

http://killzone.com/kz/tour_round_history.psml?kz_match_id=21238&kz_file_id=25894[/QUOTE]It doesn't help that SCEA gave that "garbage developer" a PS2 size budget for SOCOM (next gen need 5X the budget and SCEA never gave it to them), but that's another story. Can't say I'm trying to stick up with them (keep in mind I'm not one who plays it), but when you don't put the money into stuff, things don't turn out right (while KZ2 on the other hand, has received a massive budget and support, making much of this possible. Got more support than the first KZ got).

Anyway, let me know sometime how you want to do it. Whether we should make two threads (one for hardcore clan, one for casual clan), or whether you combine it all to one thread (which I'd lead), but there will be a post strictly for your clan and we'll make sure there's discussion about both clans.

From multiplayer, what does the screen do after you have died? Is it like CoD5 where it shows the replay of the person killing you or something like Team Fortress 2 where it just shows kind of like a live broadcast of the person who killed you? Sorry, anticipation comes with stupid questions, ha.
 
Called my GS today, they are having the midnight launch too. Said line starts at 10PM so I'm guessing they are going to host some other kind of event like when they had GTA release party.

Yep, that's the one. I know they said to come around 10pm to process orders but who the hell wants to hang out for 2 hours at GS?

The GTA4 line got pretty long (wrapped almost to Rite Aid) as it approached 12. But I'll probably show up about 20 mins before. I doubt KZ2 will pull that kind of crowd.

It goes all gray and just focuses on you. No fancy kill cam or anything.
If your wounded, its all of the above but a box saying your mortally wounded and a countdown...and your just moving about lol.

Still despise me lol :p

[quote name='The Mana Knight']For sure I'll try to have a casual clan game on Saturday. I'll spend my Friday figuring out how it all works, then I'll send invites to people.[/quote]

You sending me an invite Mana ;)
 
Got my shipping notice from Amazon and it'll be here tomorrow with release date delivery, looking forward to playing it! I won't be able to play on CAG nights because of work, but hope to play with some CAGs on other days.

I just wanted to know (because my goal is to get everyone into this).
 
I hate Target. Despite having 9-10 copies on the shelf, and a big "ON SALE NOW" sign where it was, they wouldn't sell it to me. They called it an "Honest Mistake".

My ass
 
As tomorrow approaches, I'm gettting more excited for this game. Will be my first retail purchase over $10 since RB2 (and MGS4 before that). Of course I'm working til 5, have dinner plans, and have to go in Saturday at 8 for work (pissed) so I don't know when I'll have a chance to dig in even.. Sunday perhaps?

I know the feeling. My friend works at Walmart, and got several games early. I mean I don't see the harm in it getting it a day or two early. They should sale it to you for there mistake.
 
On the bright side, at least you'll be able to grab this on release date rather than get the "oh it shipped" today nonsense on Tuesdays.

Yeah, I work until midnight every Thursday-Saturday and every other Wednesday. I'm usually busy with SOCOM on Sunday/Tuesday and it's not a big deal if I can't make the Killzone nights due to work so don't worry about it!
 
I called up the local GS and they won't get it in until tomorrow. I was just going to wait until Sunday to pick it up at TRU for the giftcard, but I can't wait that long. I'll just use that 10% coupon. I wish mine was doing a midnight launch. I haven't been to one in a long time.
 
I was at Costco, and they had a bunch of display boxes that said to bring it up to the cashier for the game. They couldn't ring it up though. No biggie since I can just head there tomorrow to pick it up instead of driving across town to Best Buy or Gamestop.
 
Multiplayer Impressions (I just finished playing for about 1hr 45 minutes)

1. The game is really fun and ran lag free with 32 people in the room.
2. Someone randomly invited me into their squad and that worked well and made the game even better. Spawning with your squad leader makes getting to the action much faster. The squad didn't stay together for the next game, does anyone know if that's intentional?
3. I played 4 of the maps and 3 seemed perfectly sized for 32 players, the desert one with the giant crane in the background is way way way too big. It takes a good 30-45 seconds sprinting to reach the bomb site in search and destroy.
 
How many maps are in it? And are some limited only to certain gamestypes or are they open to all the various gametypes and player totals.

While I used to think large multiplayer matches were a great idea, I don't believe it is anymore. I perfer games that are limited to 8 vs 8 and probably 6 vs 6, anything more and it seems like I'll randomly kill somebody and get randomly killed myself. Hopefully that isn't the case in this.

Finally someone i can relate with lol :):p

Ive played a few body count matches and a couple full warzone games. Ive had no lag at all, with a full room. I think i have only played a couple of maps, cant remember which ones though. They all seem pretty decent though. Will give it a good play tonight i hope :)
 
Finally got to download the demo. Controls work so long as Alternative 2 is in the final game, I can't imagine using the other control set-ups they had in the list. Weapons and y-axis and x-axis felt fine to me once I cranked it up 3/4's way.

I redownloaded the demo myself, maxed out turning speeds, went type-2 and for it to not lock on when zoomed in, and i really enjoyed the demo a LOT more. I felt it could definitely use some more aim-assist tho, seemed hard to lock onto to anyone.
 
Played through Corinth River and a bit of Blood Meridian. Liking the single player quite a big. This is one beautiful game!

Tried some multi, as well. Just one warzone match. Had fun, but I am terrible!

How do I join a squad when I get invited?
 
(cough) had to call in sick today, darn it!!!! (cough) maybe I'll go pick my game up from GS and that will make me feel better.... (cough) ;)

*cough* I think I caught what you have *cough*
 
[quote name='cheezisgoooood']*cough* I think I caught what you have *cough*[/quote]

I knew it was a bad idea to post on here. Now I probably infected everyone!!! (cough) Take my advice and stay home, play killzone and post here in the morn.
 
[quote name='BostonCollegeFan']is it out today for everyone or just pre-orders?[/QUOTE]
Everyone

Played for a little over 5 hours last night/this morning. The SP is crazy fun. It's really immersive and looks beautiful!
