Killzone 2 - Gen. Discussion & Info

I had a round of errors one day. I even got crazy numbers like -30232380. It's gone now, except 5021, which I believe has something to do with my bluetooth headset.
 
[quote name='kurokubushi']I've been getting this stuff constantly, I run a wireless connetion, so I put my ps3 in the DMZ, and it worked ok for like 2 days, and now it happens like evrey 15-30 mins. I'm lucky if I can even finnish an entire game.


Also before anyone tells me to do so, A Wired connetion is not an option for me, our router is downstairs in out living room, and my ps3 is hooked up upstairs in my room.[/quote]

I really can't comment because I have a wired connection and I've only gotten this once. About 6 months ago I had horrible online issues with COD4 and I just messed around with some settings within the PS3 XMB and had very few online issues afterwards.
 
Got the untouchable trophy and am starting on my elite playthrough. I did a double take when I saw they take out the aiming reticle when you play on elite so that sucks big time. I've been playing mostly single player so far partly because I have a really big week of mid terms and papers to write so I like to play in small chunks whenever I have a chance during the day and when I play multi I like to devote an hour or two to that.

lol no crosshairs? interesting, good to know thanks
 
[quote name='Bavgate']Nice, I ranked in the top 3% for this week. I was wondering if I was ever going to get one of those things.[/QUOTE]

What was your score for the week?

I'd like to aim for the top x% trophies, but since it's more a measure of time invested than actual skill, and I can't really devote that kind of time to the game, it's a bit of a letdown.
 
Air support sucks. I've never seen them kill anyone, and I can take them down so easily.

I've gotten 1 turret ribbon. :cool:

I'm starting to really like the MP now in the way I fell in love with CoD4, though the love took a bit longer as I got used to it. It really helps when you have a good, balanced team like I did for a few games over the weekend.
I'm not really into playing online with FPS but these two games I enjoy.
 
Hey dallow, I can use health packs with my other leveled up classes now. \\:D/

Oh and I just got the saboteur class. I love it but it seems like nobody on the other teams ever fall for my disguise.
 
Are healthpacks that useful?
I've been throwing them out (well, in one game) and ok, they refill your health, but people usually die anyway pretty quickly.

I love reviving folks though, I've already revived more people than you makkey mak. :cool:
 
Revive is definitely the better of the 2 Medic abilities. Putting Med-packs down rarely helps. I haven't even started using the Saboteur yet. Trying to get those Ribbons will be a pain.

Has anyone figured out what the Home integration for this game is yet?

the next patch/update will integrate it more.
 
[quote name='Ecofreak']It's fantastic that I've played the MP for ... maybe 12 hours and not yet received one Trophy at all. 'Course, I haven't touched the single player yet, but it's kinda funny and I didn't realize it until recently.[/quote]
I'm in the same boat, I've just been having a ball online. I've noticed that everything feels really balanced in this game, save for the one fact that the game can't make your team better instantly if they all blow.

[quote name='mykevermin']This game just crashed my PS3 when online. Augh. There goes the 1.5X boost on the fucking game our squad was thisclose to winning. Piece of shit. I've read a lot about this game causing crashes/hangs - could be due to sale/use (exposure), but it's pretty fucking aggravating.[/quote]
I've ran into these errors at least 10 times already, all when the game was nearing the end and our team was whoopin' ass >.>

I was pissed, I've probably lost out on at least 500 mission points :cry:

You, Darknyss, and myself were running shit yesterday when we all managed to get on the same team.
 
That's my biggest complaint about this game.

No party system.
It's hard as hell to get on the same team.

If you make a room, you have to turn auto-balance off which usually leads to lopsided games.
 
And then you get stuck with incompetent people. There's nothing more enfuriating when you have medics standing around and they wont revive you .. or when people are wasting spawn points by putting them at retarded places or near the original spawn point.

also deciding on a faction ahead of time helps.

Yes we were :cool:

I was just bummed I couldn't stay on longer, I had stuff to do. We'll be doing it again soon though, sho nuff!

I feel ya too Dallow, I spent forever trying to figure out how to find/make a party, but apparently they forgot that feature? :/

I've been fortunate enough to have guys revive me most of the time when they can, but the wasted spawn points and turrets do annoy me.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']also deciding on a faction ahead of time helps.[/quote]I was going to mention that but you can always switch faction in the pre-game screen.

Not sure what it was for the week, but my overall score is 5291. I didn't really devote that much time into KZ2 this week either. Only times I really played were doing the CAG nights.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']
I'm wondering if down the line we'll see more classes... I doubt it but it'd be interesting. probably more like TF2 where it's additions to classes.[/QUOTE]

Well, the flamethrower and bolt gun are begging to be patched into multiplayer.

And the stats are way less honest since they take into account people who boost with their friends.
 
The bolt gun would be crazy online... i'd expect it to get toned down... the game would break with the eletric gun though.

I hope they have a new faction: those bugs in single player >_

Lies, you played all Monday last week. Other than that yea, you're just insanely good. Especially with that grenade launcher. I am getting better now, though I always feel bad for CAGs since each time I play the CAG night I always end up on top with a great kdr. I feel kinda bad and especially if we're going to do a clan battle since the hardcore team will be stacked.
 
[quote name='Thongsy']Lies, you played all Monday last week.[/quote]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. :lol: I'm gonna play all day again today!

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.
 
[quote name='Inf^Shini']Grenade Launcher + Boost Pill = Madness[/QUOTE]

assault armor + grenade launcher + boost + health packs... lol
 
[quote name='KingBroly']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.[/quote]


They could go the samw route as the GOW did with their broken gun(for got the name), and have it be random spawn, and it only gets 3-5 uses.

are you running up to them when a bunch of your teammates are around, and none of them are shooting at you? Thats how I usually notice you guys.
 
[quote name='kurokubushi']They could go the samw route as the GOW did with their broken gun(for got the name), and have it be random spawn, and it only gets 3-5 uses.[/quote]

You can't have random weapon spawns in this game. It'd change it completely.
 
Saboteur is badass. I always get the assassination kill, combine with boost and it's lethal. Just go to their area, and than walk around like you're one of them and slowly make your way to the target before shooting. You always have to shoot them from behind or else you might as well be another class.
 
Well, I have most medals now... I sill think the tactician one is never going to be attainable till they fix the air sentry.

also wish C4 had more bombs to place, but that's a little more balanced.

This is what I so want to do........
 
[quote name='BostonCollegeFan']Tactician one is easy to get on 8 vs 8.[/quote]
Really? I always play 8 vs 8 or 6 vs 6 and my air support never kills anybody. Maybe one or two lucky kills but no way to ever get the five needed, it always gets taken out within a minute or two of going up.
 
I have 11 Medals right now...I'm close to getting my Boost Medal, though. I'm far from getting anything else at the moment. Well, survivng Assassination attempts is the next closest one, but that's always random luck.
 
12 Medals now. My latest: Front Runner

I guess I'm playing Assault wrong because I'm not liking it so much. Still love Tactician, though. Now that I have Front Runner, once I get my 5 Aerial Bot kills 8 times (Maybe...) I'll combine Front Runner with Tactician.
 
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.

Unlock the scout's second ability.

At first I didn't care for the scout, but with the unlocked better scope and spot and mark, he's a hell of a lot better.
 
I just unlocked the Scout as well. I'm loving the sniper rifle. Question though .. I'm getting a solid 10 kills per game while cloaked but I'm not getting any ribbons. Do I have to use a gun other than the sniper rifle for this to work?

No. You should be getting it with the rifle if the screen is blue when you're killing people.
 
My Medal Progress for ones I actually have Ribbons on:

3/8 - Bomb Squad
4/8 - Defense Initiative
2/8 - Black Belt
6/8 - Field Medic
5/8 - Defensive Specialist
2/8 - Forward Observer

I managed to get the Revolver tonight and it's probably the best weapon in Multiplayer.
