Killzone 2 - Gen. Discussion & Info

[quote name='zewone']No. You should be getting it with the rifle if the screen is blue when you're killing people.[/quote]


What the hell. I guess I must move a little bit and shoot before I get completely cloaked again.

One more sniper question .. how do you zoom to the 5x view?
 
What do you mean broly? Certain maps won't allow a 5x zoom? I couldnt get it to work on Saluman Market or Corinth Crossing and you'd think if it would work anywhere it would work on those two maps.

Certain spots on certain maps won't let you zoom into 5x.
 
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 wish I could go back to early last week when it was mostly soldiers and medics and everyone was using the regular assault rifles.

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.
 
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%?).
 
[quote name='enufs8d']can't you guys just host/start a game no rockets?[/quote]

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...

Is that where you have to fight off both heavies at once while a shit ton of guys blast through the inbred AI? I think I'm on the same part and I was yelling obscenities at my tv for a good half hour today before I said fuck it and turned off my ps3.

You can't just make a claim like that and not provide evidence.
 
[quote name='zewone']You can't just make a claim like that and not provide evidence.[/quote]

Go to the Smallest map and get on the lowest part of it (the damned up area), go to the Helghast side, point your Sniper Rifle at the wall and zoom. You shouldn't be able to zoom into 5x there.

I've done it with and without having 5x unlocked (somehow on Radec's Academy I zoomed into 5x without it unlocked...no idea how either).

Yup, that was the place. I have no clue how to get past it because the damn Heavies come up the stairs.
 
[quote name='NamPaehc']Plus you have to unlock 5X[/quote]


Ahhhh

Werd. I got stuck in a section where you have to drive a tank over a bunch of bridges and then there's a boss tank at the end. If you die it takes you back to the beginning of the area and you have to start all over again. :bomb:
 
[quote name='smiggity']They added aim assist? You gotta be kidding me.[/quote]


No, it just feels that way because aiming actually works now. Trust me, they didn't add aim assist, especially when you consider the flashlight/shotgun glitch. Now that was aim assist.
 
I played on a server that had some insane time limits. As time went on, certain sounds would linger and others faded until I heard static when shooting and other chirps... Turned my system off after that, hope everything is okay.

Also, anyone else noticing bodies "poofing" right away? Know must be some limit on how many can be down at once but they seem to be disappearing right as you headshot some one.
 
[quote name='help1']No, it just feels that way because aiming actually works now. Trust me, they didn't add aim assist, especially when you consider the flashlight/shotgun glitch. Now that was aim assist.[/quote]

It's there, I tested it out on various guns a couple of days ago. I'm not that good at fps and I'm kicking ass now. I didn't suddenly get that much better.
 
Yeah I'm noticing a lot more head shots when people are spamming machine gun fire. Got some MGO flashbacks...

Plus there was a round when we all played with other night, a guy picked me off with a standard rifle. Right between the eyes, and between the two clan mates shielding me from a good distance away. Not saying it is impossible but the first round he fired??

Well it was for sure there launch weekend when I was playing the game. I should have put more aim assist. Are they gonna hold my hand through the battlefield too?
 
Does anyone know what is with Edge UK being against Sony? They gave Killzone 2 a 7 and Resistance PSP a 6. They are such douches.

Yet they give Halo 3 a 10. What gives?
 
If anyone has any suggestions of how to beat the end of Act 3 on Elite, please let me know. I definitely need to know how to approach it. Those
Heavies
suck!

Because, in their opinion, Halo 3 is a better game?

Halo 3 isn't a 10, though. Oh, and let me once again remind the masses that Microsoft sent out over $700 Halo 3 goody bags to all major publications who reviewed Halo 3.

Because it was obviously the same person that reviewed all three games. And the editorial crew did a complete database search and analyzed the scores of all similar games that had come out in the past. For each game they then held a two day internal debate to make sure it was scored correctly comparatively.
 
Holy fuck I kicked ass tonight. Unlocked two ranks in two rounds. First one I was pretty good in with a decent 1.7 k/d ratio and I unlocked the shotgun. Next round with the shotgun my k/d spread shot up to near 3:1. That thing is awesome on certain maps. Unlocked medic in the second round so I can't wait to level that up and see how it plays.

Fine... let me rephrase this- How come everyone working at Edge UK are idiots?
 
5 scrubs (myself included) vs 7 generals who were all snipers, sabs, and tacticians...

so rough.... We managed to sneak the first two 2, lost the next 3.

But damn, killing that lone sniper running to his teammates and getting the final assassination kill to make it a draw game overall........... SO GOOD.

As soon as he went down, all 6 of of his teammates appeared around the corner.
He wasn't quite dead, pulled out the pistol and finished him off.

Go scrubs go!
 
[quote name='dallow']Hey, saw makkey mak, and Myke tonight.

got you more than vice versa, darlin'.

Though your team, on the whole, killed the shit out of me. made me hate snipers for a moment more than clusterfuckin' rocket launcher guys.

If its the part with 2 heavies coming at you from each side, you can try using a turret to kill em quick. If not, use grenades, then spray and pray.
 
Dumb motherfucker thought it'd be funny to teabag me everytime he killed me. Too bad I went 76-34 and fucked his team up.

EDIT: Great, got into a match where it was 4v7 (me and my team being the four) where we got spawn camped on the Helghast portion of Blood Gracht. Assault class was blocked too, so we had to jump off the high part of our spawn point, just to be killed at the bottom. Started to look at my classes and noticed the standard character still had his rocket launcher available. Busted out the rockets and my team followed suit. Made a pretty good comeback where we lost narrowly, 3-4. It's things like this that make you notice that this game really is starting to turn into Explosive Boogaloo.

I do know that I killed the shit out of Rolento.
Fun game ReRo, always funny to see random CAGs come visit. :)

i think tenchii solved this problem... havent tried it myself yet.

solution: tactian w/ boost. or maybe assault boost past the campers and hope to land a spawn grenade.

i really hate blood gracht helghast.

mana - perhaps in the cag games, we need to have a gentlemen's rule with no spawn camping at bases. its not that fun and at best its going to turn people away.

Yeah, I was trying to use another class with Boost, but it was blocked off since the Assault class was blocked too. I don't even have one ribbon for the drones 'cause those things suck and I'll never be able to combine any other abilities with my Tactician!

So, on that note... Anyone want to stat pad the drones with me sometime? :lol:
 
Good god, I was stuck in a game tonight where nearly everyone decided to be snipers. On my team. Idiots just tried to camp, while myself and a couple of others tried to win rounds. Even when one of the snipers became the assassination target he didn't move.

GAH.

im in. has anyone honestly earned this ribbon?

on regards to ribbons, i noticed that this week there are less people playing. Has interest died down? I was hoping that 1% cushion would grow bigger with more people on. But it seems people are getting soured on the game. Maybe its just an anomaly this week.

:whee:

That game was surprisingly laggy for as little people that were playing. Oh well we got the win anyway. And lol to our teammate who was yelling at me for going the wrong way on the last propaganda speaker return. My path to the return area was right next to an exploding barrel and I wasn't about to run past it when I had two dudes shooting at me from behind. Hence why I went up the steps and along the walkway and then jumped down on to the return area.
 
Man, I keep playing in games where I have to play as the tactician (C4, territory control), engineer (defend the ass target, C4, body count), assault (propaganda and ass target), and saboteur (personal fav til' scout, body count, ass target). I have to single-handedly win every game I join in because no one on my team bothers to stay on point with objectives, they just like running around killing people.

I have seen them run right by the speaker and territory and C4 placements just to go buckwild.
