Killzone 2 - Gen. Discussion & Info

I wish this had the "you will respawn in x seconds" all the time, and I wish when the screen says "press X to respawn" it was actually telling the truth, but otherwise multi is pretty fun. While I'm playing with the noobs, at least.
 
When it doesn't have the "you will respawn in X seconds" It's because you are beyond repair. Medics can't save you anymore. Either from a headshot, nade, or hit after you were down.

Overall, the game started out slow, but picked up later. I give the single player a low 8/10 (I did prefer R2 single player in the end). Next up I want the Gold Trophy for General. I doubt I'll go back through single player picking up other trophies.[/QUOTE]

Most of the trophies are pretty easy to get and some are fun like the martyr one where you have to kill 3 helgast while blowing yourself up with a grenade.

I understand that. Fully dead or not, I'd like to know how long I have to wait. Being able to move the camera, or see who killed me would be nice too, instead of staring straight at the ground.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']How does it change the ability to play with friends? Can you party up now?[/quote]
That was in the list of what they are investigating and could be in future updates, not this patch.

Heh, yeah. I think it's the same ammount of time still. Just no visible timer.
I like that you can't look around though after because if I kill someone I don't want them being able to see what I'm up to after >=)
 
[quote name='MisterBee']I think I might be done playing multiplayer without fellow Beta clan members or on CAG nights because of what just happened pissed me off so much. My team is protecting the bomb sites and I'm playing saboteur. I put one c4 right on the bomb site and around the doorways, a teammate comes up and starts shooting at my c4. I get confused, maybe its a fellow saboteur, run up to him, hes on my team. He throws a grenade, blows up my c4 and then throws down 3 of his own. I just left the game right then and there realizing that people play to get stats and not to win.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I hear you there... its like a race still for the ribbons..

Oh well paintball season is upon us, so I will get my "fix" that way, with real teamates that work for the win.
 
I'm at the part where Sev jumps off the bridge after they run into Radek's troops and I'm really getting annoyed with Sev and his buddies attitude/lines.
"Yea my mom was packing me a ham sandwich"
"Tell her to make me one next time"

...wtf? The action is great, the story is all right so far, but everyone's lines are just so terrible.

Hey Killzoners,

We have discovered a possible major flaw in our Clan/Tournament setup and are currently investigating what the problem is and how to resolve it. This might mean we will suspend Clan/Tournament activity ASAP until further notice.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and will keep you updated as news rolls in

I wonder if this means on the website, in-game, or both... :\
 
The clan match problem is probably why during alpha clans last match, the match was declared a draw after a few minutes of the tournament.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the EU version and the NA version? I think I might have been sold the EU version.

On the 'Press Start' screen, does SCEE show up twice at the bottom?

It says manufactured in the U.S.A. so that's a sure sign it is the NA version right?

Yes, you're right! This is clearly why I would be a bad spy.
 
I must say I'm having a fairly positive multiplayer experience overall. Teams working to go for objectives, a minimum of dickery, strangers squading me, etc. Every now and then I run into a game populated by jerks, idiots, or jerks and idiots, but not as much.
 
^Yeah the crowd is pretty polite actually.

Very few assholes. One thing I love is that you can hear people after they die. Kill an asshole and all the sudden you hear "WHAT THE shaq fu! Friggen NOOB KILLED ME!" haha

I was cloaked sitting next to a target while defending a search and destroy mission and some guy started trying to place the bomb. I shot him in the head and got an earful.
 
yeah, out of all the FPSs I've played online, KZ2 has the least assholes, and even the actual assholes make it a point to work with you.

the problem though is when you are on a team and people aren't doing their jobs (ie. a tactitian who never makes spawn points a priority over killing).

This, is the biggest issue I have run into the most as well. When I play I usually try to play my part. If I am a medic, I will stay a little behind everyone and heal/revive as needed, same goes for the other classes. I am very satisfied with the game and I can see myself playing it for quite sometime.

Couldn't agree with you more. This is really the biggest problem with Killzone 2 that I have. Sometimes I want to play as an Engineer, but because there are no Tacticians, or Tacticians that have no clue on my team I'm forced to play as Tactician. Don't get me wrong, I love to play as the Tactician, but sometimes I want a break, and am forced to go back when I don't want to.
 
I'll never understand the mindset of some people.

Was playing as saboteur today and went right up to two people. They basically lined up for me conveniently and I headhsotted them both with the M4 pistol in a row. Then I hear one of 'em say "(inaudible mumble)..shot us like a $$$$$$".

How do you shoot someone like a "$$$$$$"?

edit about badges: Yeah I love engineer with C4 as secondary. But EVERYONE picks engineer now and so there are never any turrets left to use. And to make it worse they almost always put them in shitty places. So you spend half the time hunting them down and blowing them up and then rushing to a good place hoping no one uses them up again.

I was using cloak and mark and spot today and people were syaing snipers only play for themself. I came in 2nd. :p Mark and spot broadcasts the other teams position to all of us for one. Secondly I can snipe out people placing explosives, trying to take territory, assasination targets easily, and survive assasination easily while cloaked. Which equals wins for the whole team.

Sounds like you need to play TF2 on PC (on a good server).

I'm going through single-player currently and it's on-par with other cookie-cutter shooters, fun for awhile but it drags on. I also get motion sickness on some games and although it's not horrible with KZ2, it's there. I'm on my way to completing the 'Tharsis Ribbon' trophy and I still don't like aiming in this game. I had a problem with CoD4's near-perfect-for-a-console aiming so it's doubly worse with KZ2.
 
i was playing yesterday as a engineer with repair , and it was very fun, and prob got the most points in a game that i ever did with that class, surprising to see my name with the #1 next to it lol.. and then moved on to tacticians and had some fun with that.. as i play to win the objetives and a good placement of the spawn grenade will give you the ribbon easily in ever game.. prob be on tonight
 
Even if you're not playing your best. If you stick to doing the missions, you'll still end up pretty high on the rankings because you'll get a lot of mission points. For example, if I kill some random enemy I get +1 but if I kill someone in the capture and hold area, I get +3.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I still find it weird that I play shitty some games and still get in the top 5...

congrads on the #1 knives![/QUOTE]

oh thx.. but i usually play shitty as the night goes on i get worse lol

yeah seriously. last week I didn't even focus on missions half the time I was just trying to get the last few ribbons I needed to unlock mix'n'match secondary badges.
so yesterday when I signed in I wasn't surprised when I didn't get a valor award. Then today I sign in and I get the valor award and 2 trophies for coming in the top 3% last week.

It must give you the 6% trophy automatically too. and I already had the 10% one.


Side note, the servers are down. :( sucks. I was on a roll last night. I got all the medals for search and destroy, deliver, body count, so I get more points per thing and in one game I delivered every single propaganda speaker. I just need to stay alive as the assasination target 2 more times. I'm at 6/8 on that.
 
The first map pack was announced on GT TV, called Steel and Titanium. It offers two maps, one being the ISA ship that you start on at the beginning of the game and the other takes place on trains (haven't played much SP so I don't know where/if it is in the campaign) and you can hop between trains, though you have to watch out for obstacles that will knock you off and kill you.
 
Me thinks they pulled a Capcom with those two maps. I saw no reason why the ISA cruiser couldn't get a multiplayer map [at launch].

Yea - bummer they didn't discuss the "new features", but the train map looks so dang gorgeous. I'm going to have to buy the pack just for it, hopefully it's under five dollars. (AKA, 2 bucks. =P )
 
That train map looks insane, but I know I'm going to suck on it. I'm horrible with timing online because of all the laggers.

Hehehe, I said "suck on it".

I'll get the DLC day one. I love this game.
 
Train level looks cool.

He announced also that the second map pack will contain maps from the first KZ.

Having never played it, I'm not too excited for the nostalgia, but it'll be great to play on some new maps.
 
maps should be free, new classes should be dlc. I love it how they did it in the company of heroes: expansion added 2 new races/class and instead of segregating the community they just didn't allow you to play as them, but you can still interact with them. since i know it wont be like that i was just fantasying
 
Man I never get honor ranks.


Map pack DLC is going to be a day 1 for me as well. Good timing on it too. I really interested in seeing how the New Sun level will play. But really it's all about the train!
 
I think it would be dumb if they made new classes cost $. Maps should cost $ (if they must..), new classes should be free.

It makes it an unfair playing field when you can buy abilities. Sort of like Bad Company how you could buy insane guns. People that didn't fork the dough over were stuck with the default weapons.

you know what your right, i meant it the other way around lol.

but in reality...it should be free anyways! learn from criterion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha yeah I wish it was all just free. I have been craving new maps bad though. I hope if they aren't free they are at least under $5 preferably $2 or 3
 
Wow, can't believe they are charging for maps already.

I never got any of the warhawk stuff, but at lease those introduced somewhat new content. 2 new maps doesn't seem like much of a value, but guess I need to see a price.

After all the "this is not COD4 talk" it looks like they are borrowing from the same playbook (they aren't the only ones). Who can blame them though, the COD4 maps are usually the top downloads.
