General Stuff #2
Killzone 2 Discussion

| Hey Teenonesy, I've played over 40 hours, and while I can see where you're coming from with balance issues, but once you play more, as I've noticed, people are starting to really get the 'feel' of how exactly to play the game. I've played more games with people who know how to cooperatively play than not, and yes, there are times when games aren't balanced especially when everyone is a scout. People are now also getting a feel for maps. I know it takes a bit to understand how the maps function and how they were meant to be played. For example, Radec Academy is supposed to be a CQB slugfest, and snipers aren't meant for the map, so most good players will switch to saboteur or engineer and that's when it really shines. Anyway, Bots are making their way back online in the next patch. And I cannot WAIT for new maps. | 2009-03-20 03:18:00 Author: LightGrenades  Posts: 218 |

Something I've noticed, but forgot to state, has anyone noticed that the sentry bots and air support seem to have gotten stronger? I don't know I was playing a 2 v 2 last night with a friend, and this sentry bot completely teared me apart, like it was in 2 seconds, and it was pretty far away. And the air support seems to hurt me a lot more. I don't know... | 2009-03-20 03:21:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino  Posts: 5250 |
| It definitely seems to be a recurring theme that the game gets better once you unlock General. I'm sure I'll return to it to accomplish this, as I'm not too far away, but probably not until the new patch/map pack. Meanwhile I've got some RE5 to boot up. Whaale, you mentioned a sentrybot tearing you up - did it get headshots on you? I've noticed that a sentry will occaaaaasionally get a headshot, particularly ones that are higher up. It's the only chance they have, really. I want to bring squads back, because I really, really like the system and I want it to work - Here's a problem I run into. I may be in the middle of an intense battle when I get a squad invite. I can't stop shooting to accept the invite, but oftentimes leaders blanket invites to a bunch of the team, knowing that certain ones won't get around to accepting. So it becomes a race to accept the invite. This is unfortunate. Like I said before - Squads should be mandatory. you should split up into squads at the beginning of every single game, while waiting for everyone to hit "ready" (which never, ever happens). You should stay with the same squad from match to match if you're playing on the same server, and if you don't like it, you can put a request in to replace another squad's teammate, and if they agree, you can swap. I mean this is elementary stuff. The squad system is great, but underutilized to such a drastic extent that it's an occasional neat-o privelage rather than a major part of the game, which it should/could be. I've noticed this, for instance - When there aren't any headsets, you tend to have a bit more of a bond with your squadmates. That little blue dot next to their name - those are your guys, and because you all spawn on the same point, you tend to spend a lot of time near them, fighting together, watching each other's backs. Even without headsets, the squad system inherently increases teamwork. It's a go********ed travesty that the squads aren't mandatory. I feel like the entire quality of the game would increase tenfold. I think here's what it comes down to - People here have said it, and they're absolutely right: Killzone 2 online is for the hardest-core. You've got to be really invested to get enjoyment out of it. REALLY invested. I'm just not sure I have it in me to put THAT much into KZ2 - I can see an amazing product hiding somewhere in there, but try as I have, I haven't been able to get to it, and I'm not sure I can justify the extra time I'd need to spend with it. I'm like a monkey with a coconut - trying to play a game casually that demands to be played hardcorey. I am looking forward to patches and seeing what the developer does with the community. OH! And let me say this: Thank GOD for THIS community... I shudder to think what would happen if I expressed these views on a KZ2 forum, official or gamefaqs or otherwise. Certainly not a DISCUSSION. Anything but, in fact. | 2009-03-20 03:28:00 Author: Teebonesy  Posts: 1937 |

I shudder to think what would happen if I expressed these views on a KZ2 forum, official or gamefaqs or otherwise. Certainly not a DISCUSSION. Anything but, in fact. Couldn't of agreed more with the whole squad thing. It does really increase teamwork, and I tend to stick with my squad more, but I'm one of those people that just joins a random squad, but whenever I'm playing with aer0blue or another friend or two, we always start the squad before the game starts. I think the game needs to make it mandatory like you said yourself, I also think it should be like Battlefield, for example if you were to heal your teammate, it would give you 2 points, instead of one. Battlefield : BC does this, and I think it would encourage squad play even more. Basically, the squad business needs to be changed, formatted, whatever. They need to fix it basically. And no, the turret did not get a headshot. I wouldn't of been suprised if it did. One thing I find really retarded is the fact that someone with a shotgun can get a headshot. That's just stupid, and it's usually from a far distance too! Finally, I must admit that if it wasn't for this community, we wouldn't have these civilized discussions. Thank GOD for LBPC. | 2009-03-20 03:35:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino Posts: 5250 |
| Excellent points brought up by Teebonesy... and the same goes for all the replies of encouragement! I must admit I agree with quite a few of them, but can overlook all in light of this amazing game overall. Question: have you tried setting up your own games yet Teebonesy? You can turn certain classes and weapons off, which might bring you an experience more suited to your style of play while negating those annoying Assault class benefits etc. BTW - I think the reason your getting such a great response from the community here is mainly because you haven't come off as a whiny little spoiled fan-boy like many do who post on the Playstation forums (yes.. that's a compliment). Don't get me wrong, a lot of credit goes to the amazing members of this forum and community... but it's so refreshing to see someone like yourself who is frustrated with KZ2 who can articulate why he is frustrated without just jumping into saying things like "This game is TOTAL garbage! You guys are losers and GG are SUXXORS! This game was totally over-hyped and I've been ripped off! Boo hooo.. etc". Seriously, your attitude has been great considering your level of frustration. I love this game so much that I could only wish for you and others to love it as much as I do... but that's not realistic. Hey... at least you gave it a decent try and invested a good amount of time before making up your mind - I comment you on that. As it's been pointed out.. things do tend to get better once you reach your final rank, and certainly your knowledge of maps and comfort level grows once you've hit around 20 hours of play. Maybe someday you will give it another shot.... patches and new DLC or not. If you do... I sincerely hope to see you on the other end of my barrel. Meh... or on my team, so long as we're having fun playing.  Cheers! | 2009-03-20 09:03:00 Author: Rustbukkit  Posts: 1737 |
| :eek: Whoa! It seems like i really managed to revive this thread, from one post a day to 2 pages over just a night... (or it's just a coincidence...) WALL OF TEXT: Teebonesy, i feel sorry for that you didn't fall in love with this great game as the rest of us. You have some good points there, even if i have to say that i disagree with many of them. For example i think that the badge system is short to perfect, all classes (except rifleman) are almost perfectly balanced so in my opinion it was no problem ranking up, you don't get so much better just because you have unlocked a later class, sure some may be easier to play but i think all classes are just as hard to master and are all almost just as good when you finally have (except maybe assault, but in that case i think assault is more balanced in clan play). So basically it is only that people on higher ranks have played longer and have more skillz than you and that you haven't unlocked the secondary (which usually doesn't make you that much better) for your class that makes people on higher rank better. I got more and more motivated to go on when i saw people playing other classes and thought that they must be so much better and cooler and when i got them i would own everyone. But instead when i unlocked every new class i got rewarded with a new extremely interesting and well balanced class that was fun to play but not overpowered like i thought. (with exception for the combination Assault primary/engineer secondary which completely owns [insert grinning devil smiley here]) I also think that killzone proves that you can have a excellent game with grenades too, the killzone grenades newer get overpowered or overused, they are perfectly balanced, it takes skill to use them and is very rewarding when you have learned that, but even then they don't get overpowered thanks to the ingenious red light and beep system (i know it's unrealistic but it's still sooo cool). I could go on, but that would take so much of my valuable sig making time :blush:  .Things i agree about are that the turrets should be more like in TF2, or rather a mix between the two and the flying sentries are completely useless... And here's a message to anyone who hasn't unlocked the repair ability: Go to pistol only servers, the turrets rule there! And speaking of pistol only servers i did something hilarious yesterday. I had numerous times before seen my revival beam hit an enemy and the shock thing didn't go to a cooldown, and many times I've thought "some day i ought to try kill someone with it...". When i recently started playing medic again (which is a perfectly balanced class, i played tharsis depot and had no problem taking out both assaults and engineers.) i saw an AFK guy and decided to give it a shot, 5 beams and a minor firefight (it turned out that he just had returned to the ps3) later he fell wounded to the floor. I immediately got the flash of genius to try a pistol server and see if i could own some people with it... I went to random pistol server and came on third place. 63kills/49deathsIt turned out to be much better than the standard gun, no reload easier to aim and maybe even higher damage. ( i still got owned by the revolver, which is way to overpowered..) | 2009-03-20 10:15:00 Author: Marklin80  Posts: 458 |

Haha nice, I remember reviving a teammate, and seeing a guy on the stairs above me, shooting at a teammate behind me, instead of switching to a weapon, I just killed him with the beam. Lol funny stuff. Oh, one thing to ask though. How do you get that **** revolver? I can't seem to unlock it and it looks so powerful, better than the regular pistol IMO. | 2009-03-20 21:57:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino Posts: 5250 |

Finally unlocked my revolver and it pwns! Only used it in skirmish so far but it only took 1-2 shots to the chest to kill someone. As a scout it was just amazing and this was against veteran bots too so they're even better than players. Marklin, we had some awesome moments  The one you probably know was me running up to you since you were my assasination target, you turn the corner and I just go a clean headshot before anyone knew what the hell was happening :arg: I died soon after though since the 5 or so of your team mates just realised that someone must've been pretty close to shotty you. The one you probably didn't see was on Market where it was cap n hold. There was an engineer, I threw a nade at him but I knew that the cover he was behind would block it. Just then you walk in front of the grenade and it leaps straight up into the air then comes down in a massive arc (how it didn't explode up there is beyond me) then it hit the guy on the head and I got the kill I call it the grenade trebuchet; your back flung it so **** high. | 2009-03-20 22:08:00 Author: Shermzor  Posts: 1330 |

You need to get 10 kills with the pistol to get the sidearm ribbon, then multiply that with eight  (this is another one of those medals that are almost impossible to get normally, you'll need to play 8 pistol only games...)Finally unlocked my revolver and it pwns!

Yeah the revolver is extremely overpowered, it seems to be better than many of the normal weapons, the semi automatic rifle the saboteur has for example, that one needs 3 shots to kill while the revolver only needs 2...

That was you!?! When i am the target i often screw up and manage to die pretty fast and this time i was determined to make it. Everything worked perfectly, i put c4 in the alley up to where i was hiding, i had about 5 teammates guarding me and everything. The c4 had just blown someone up and i decided to risk taking a quick look down the alley to see if i could place some more and then suddenly: BLAM! Someone blew my head up with a shotgun. And for some reason i didn't see it was you... The one you probably didn't see was on Market where it was cap n hold.

| I can honestly say I agree with everything Teebonesy said in his first big comment. I can't rise against any of the issues he brought up. I've played 10 hours and I'm getting very bored, very fast. Sometimes you manage to squeeze in the odd bit of tactics, but that's just before some guy pops up behind you with a rocket launcher or sprays in your general direction for a headshot. | 2009-03-20 22:38:00 Author: Pinchanzee  Posts: 805 |

It does get old. The classes didn't have as much of an impact as I had hoped. Also, there are far too few maps. | 2009-03-21 01:10:00 Author: Pinkcars  Posts: 380 |
I just got this in the mail  Edit edit - Answered all of my own questions. I'm currently addicted to skirmish mode... heh... don't want to play online or campaign just yet. | 2009-03-21 05:20:00 Author: Foofles  Posts: 2278 |
| ...You didn't tell me how you unlocked it! Yeah 10 kills for 8 rounds. Thing is turret kills seem to count so just stalk an engineer and you'll be fine. Had an awesome game as a saboteur (the match seems to be glitches though so i can't watch it back  )On Pjsadghjsa Rise, search and retrieve I'm ISA. Kill the enemy just after they've gone over the middle bridge and pick up the objective. I see a bunch of Higs comming after me so I run up into the building by ISA spawn and lose them by jumping through a window and over the right bridge. On the other side of the bridge are 3!! Snipers (I knew because they'd been shooting for awhile); so I did mega evasive manoeves and ran right through all of them! They all took shots from 1m away but all missed :kz: The I went into the building ahead through the bottom staircase and then went through the door next to the ammo cache (right at the start of the match I had put C4 here but no-one had triggered it); one guy dies from the c4 so I keep running through the village. Get to the stairs (where you turn left to go to the cap point) threw 3 more c4 and carried on. Capped the objective and then slid through the metal grating and when I hit the floor I hear the lovely sound of a C4 kill From there I think I just pwned from behind enemy lines but I had an awesome game after that so that might've been from that match. | 2009-03-21 23:06:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |
| Oh what the... Anyone else have this game freeze ALL THE TIME? I'm playing warzone and out of the last 4 matches I played ALL of them froze, any ideas?

| This happened to me today... Maybe it's something to do with the servers? I was playing online too It really started to bother me, out of 12 or so matches, I only completed 2 or 3 and the rest all froze! All on different hosts I might even add... it made me really angry because in a few games I lucked out and did very well and the stats are gone forever. ... Ah well, thankfully the game is addictive enough to warrent more playing.Odd thing is, I was trying to play online with a friend of mine and all of his matches (he played in the same games as I) went smoothly and ended normally. | 2009-03-22 00:56:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| My copy arrived last week, been dividing my time between this and RE5 (which I ultimately think is a better game). Single player - When it comes to shooters I consider myself an assassin and therefore made the mistake of starting my first game on Veteran. I found myself dying A LOT and that really diminished my experience of the campaign. I got to Radec and after 40 attempts I gave up on trying to beat that section and restarted the game yesterday on Normal (and I am enjoying it a lot more now). There is challenging and then there is insanely, ridiculously, almost impossibly hard. The whole Radec section falls into the latter category and I have to wonder how much harder it is on professional. The graphics are gorgeous (but we all knew this after playing the demo) and I particularly like the character models and animations, truly first-class. One of the things I actually like the best about the game is the way the Helghast taunt the player and the variety of speech they have. My favorite line comes courtesy of the flamethrower guy: "I will boil your flesh!" classic. It all just adds to the overall immersion. I think the second half of he game eclipses the first with a greater variety of environments and some cool gameplay (the walker thingy was amazing). I love that the weapons truly feel like they have impact (something I did not feel with R2 for example) and this is in large part due to the stellar sound effects. Overall the single player is very good but not incredible and it should definitely be played on Normal first for maximum enjoyment. Online - Whne it comes to these online games my average KDR is 2.0 (COD4, Resistance, R6V, Warhawk) so I consider myself pretty good. My very frist online game was on one of the most tricky (read verticle) maps and of course I got killed a lot. I also soon realized there are team kills and made a couple of mistakes which I was surprised to see actually made me lose XP! That first session did not go so well lol. I played for 3 hours straight the other night and brought myself of to Sergeant First Class. I consistently came in the top 2 for my team and I am slowly but surely bringing up my KDR to the 2.0 level. There are a couple of really amazing maps (my favorite is Pyrhus) while the others are a bit average. I like the fact that I can play the game as a lone wolf when no friends are around and still perform well. This also means that when I do play with friends and communicate the experience will be even more rewarding. I like the fact that you are consantly unlocking things and the ribbon/medal system is ingenious. Resistance had ribbons/medals but they did not do anything whereas here they all matter. This really gives the player incentive to get the ribbons and unlcok those bonuses. So far I have not really seen the dynamics of the class system because I have mostly been playing with players at a similar level and have not unlocked any myself. I am curious to see how much depth (if any) it adds to the gameplay. Overall I am having a lot of fun with the online but I doubt I will clock in 100+ hours as I did with COD4, Resistance and Warhawk. Still, it is a possibilty. Obviously the game is a must buy, especially if you are a shooter fan. And one more thing, if you happen to see me in-game and I am on the opposing team then I apologize in advance for all the deaths you will suffer at my hands *EDIT* It really started to bother me, out of 12 or so matches, I only completed 2 or 3 and the rest all froze! All on different hosts I might even add. I had a couple of freezes while in-game but a whole lot more after the game finished and it was loading the next session. Pretty annoying but all of these online shooters have had bugs/problems so I would be surprised if there wasn't something like this present with KZ2 lol. Let's hope they fix it soon. | 2009-03-22 01:20:00 Author: OCK  Posts: 1536 |
| You will learn to hate pyrhus. Just wait til KZ forces you into high ranking servers (there are noob and non noob servers). Snipers as far as the eye can see. | 2009-03-22 02:03:00 Author: Pinkcars Posts: 380 |
| I am curious to see how much depth (if any) it adds to the gameplay. It changes the game almost completely, especially when you're able to play games where you get at least one of every class playing (Medic, Engineer, Assault, Tactician, Saboteur, and Scout). That's where the online game play truly shines as each class works in tandem with the others. I was able to get into a game where everyone on my team (8 of us, I refuse to play more than 16 player matches) had mics and we had 2 scouts, I was the saboteur, a medic, an engineer, an assault, and a tactician, and it was incredibly. It was Cornith Crossing so I was able to sneak around as the saboteur and place C4 at the ground level exit on their base, go and kill the assassination target, the scouts were up top keeping people from leaving their base during S&D, and took out people turning over our bases in Capture and Hold. Tactician was able to place a spawn point by their base where I snuck in and set the two charges after the assault cleared the way, and then the medic and engineer were able to do their part saving our assassination target. Oh man, so much fun. Everything balances out nicely. I just wish there was a server option that would limit how many of each class is allowed in a game. | 2009-03-22 02:33:00 Author: LightGrenades Posts: 218 |

| Unfortunately I may have to quit on the MP... it's just so infuriating that it freezes almost every match, and I'm afraid of hurting my console to constantly force it to shut off. It always seems to freeze right when I'm on a roll. lol | 2009-03-22 04:59:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| That kept happening to me but I just stopped playing for a while then came back to it and it works fine. I wonder if plaing it too much causes it to freeze...:kz: | 2009-03-22 11:19:00 Author: Unknown User  |

| Why does everyone seems to be playing this game non stop just to get bored of it? I mean seriously, ever heard of doing a different game and then coming back to KZ2? I play a bit of KZ2, get bored, play a bit LBP, get bored, play a little bit motorstorm, get bored, play a bit KZ2, ........ That way I ended up on like 98 hours of motorstorm pacific rift, 180 hours of LBP and 230 hours of KZ2, no boredom striked yet :kz: | 2009-03-22 15:45:00 Author: oldage  Posts: 2824 |

| Got my first teamkill today >< Completely rubbish match; my team didn't do anything, teams were stacked and then just as I was exiting I heard a 'du du' so i don't even know who I killed | 2009-03-22 18:12:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |
| God, I was doing pretty well today online. I was top of the match, 20 kills and lots of time left. Then I died, went over to a place with a few friends and through a grenade. Straight after the frag left my hand, I died and then it just fell right down to the ground. This caused me to get a load of teamkills and completely ruined the match for me. | 2009-03-22 19:05:00 Author: Bear  Posts: 2079 |
| Got my first teamkill today >< Completely rubbish match; my team didn't do anything, teams were stacked and then just as I was exiting I heard a 'du du' so i don't even know who I killed I have about 40 team kills because I used to rocket spam to level up but now that I have the scout, I just use the scout and it is pretty hard to get a team kill with that class... The thing that I think is stupid is that if you are shooting and someone runs out right in front of you, you are most likely going to kill them, especially with the rockets, then you kill them and sometimes yourself...:kz: | 2009-03-22 19:26:00 Author: Unknown User |
| You gotta be really careful! I had a few "DUH" moments today... 1) I didn't pay attention to what team I spawned as, and so happened to be in the ISA base as it was being occupied by Helghast... they didn't shoot at me, I didn't shoot at them. Then one finally turned around and capped me and I think "oh man..." I could've killed the lot of them if I had paid attention! 2) People kept spamming the mic so I couldn't hear the beeping of my grenade as I was cooking it, so it just went off in my hand killing me and if FF was on then my entire team too! Anyway... question, does the control sensitivity affect your maximum turning speed? Like if the stick's all the way left/right? | 2009-03-22 19:41:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |

| Wow, I just got like 10 team kills in one match xD Didn't realise friendly fire was on so I was shooting through my teammates... It was only when I threw a grenade and notice the mass of green on the kill list at the bottom that I notice I'd just killed 3 of my team-mates xD | 2009-03-23 21:30:00 Author: Pinchanzee Posts: 805 |

Like go to clans --> my clan.. thought there was an option there. I got a 5 kill with 1 grenade earlier today... It was a really crap match... and I was trying to sneak around behind the enemy and find a good sniping position. It was assassination... and I just noticed the target was in one of the little bunker rooms outside on that red map (cant remember the name). I just cooked and lobbed a grenade in the window. Killed 5 lads including Mr target ^^ Oh also I got my Top 3% ribbon. Easy peasey | 2009-03-23 23:07:00 Author: Pitcard  Posts: 779 |
| Anyway... question, does the control sensitivity affect your maximum turning speed? Like if the stick's all the way left/right? Yeah it does, that's the only thing it does, the difference between maximum speed and minimum is still the same but both numbers get higher when you change the sensitivity. Though i wouldn't recommend playing with the highest sensitivity ifyou are any class but the scout and assault (and maybe even engineer(i havent played that much with it so i'm not so sure how advantageous it will be if you have it at maximum.)) as it gets to hard to aim properly. Assault and sniper (and maybe even engineer) both already have a slower aiming speed which makes maximum (or almost at least) sensitivity the best option. Therefore i normally play with 2 grades under max with Medic, Tactician and Saboteur, and with one under max with Assault, Scout and Engineer. | 2009-03-24 18:36:00 Author: Marklin80 Posts: 458 |
| Playing with a lower sensitivity makes aiming faster because the auto-aim kicks in and you notice the effects more clearly. However if you put it to lowest you're dead if anyone isn't right in front of you; so I play two less than default on the X axis. Also there is a bug with the Helghast Sniper that the Y axis aiming is off for some reason. Not sure if it was fixed but I never really noticed it. | 2009-03-24 18:46:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |
| Ah, I see... I have my sensitivity way down because I liked the extra feeling of precision in the aiming, instead of it jumping like crazy when you pushed the stick a little bit. But I've been noticing people running behind me and capping me, and I can't turn around fast enough to retaliate... I was wondering how come people seemed so much more agile than me... thanks a lot for the input guys! | 2009-03-24 19:16:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |

| I'm loving it. Only problem I've had is that very often the other players aren't very good. By limiting the amount of spawn points/turrets etc you can create you give players responsibility. Which we all know is a recipe for disaster at times. Great fun, but at times it`s the single most frustrating experiance I've ever had due the general level of stupidity in some people. I'm in a good clan though and we have private games which are always more enjoyable. Btw to get out of a clan you go in-game to your clan section, hit square and the option to leave will appear.

| Urgh, this game annoys me at times. It's so unbalances, one day it can be great, the next it's.. not. Was playing a 30 minute game today, which consisted of about 60% rocket launchers. Which is even more annoying if you're going for badges. But twas ok, I stayed away from the action and counted about 2 badges worth. Game finished, went to the "syncronizing game statistics" screen, then froze my PS3. I had a little faith and it paid off in couple of minutes as it started moving again, to find a network error. So I lost all my stats for that game, the badges I had earned, and the rank up I would have got = All because the server crashed. That coupled with rocket launcher twerps is really starting to annoy me = Good game none the less.. but a bit of tweaking from the devs wouldn't go a miss. | 2009-03-28 02:15:00 Author: Pinchanzee Posts: 805 |
| Haven't you noticed that the amount of assault soldiers each round has become smaller, there was a time when half of the people played as assault (and me with them) but now i see them much more seldom. People have realized that assault aren't as powerful as they seem to be, at least i get more kills and points playing medic or LMGer than with assault. At least that's how it is for me. | 2009-03-28 15:05:00 Author: Marklin80 Posts: 458 |
| I find it really annoying when I join a server and they've disabled Assault.... or even worse They still have it there... but you can't use any of their weapons! >:O I usually have the most fun playing assault because being able to outrun the enemy AND blow them to pieces is just really satisfying. But more importantly assault plays a huge part in a team game. He's there to break through defenses and can usually change the flow of a game with a few well placed rockets. I find when I'm in a server with assault disabled, there's always a time when the two teams are just both spawning right beside eachother in an inclosed area, and getting milled out of it by turrets and such. There's nothing much you can do without assault. Makes the match a completely mindless spray 'nd pray fest. | 2009-03-28 16:16:00 Author: Pitcard Posts: 779 |

I'd much prefer being mauled by a turret than being mauled by mindless rocket fire Got my first engineer badge today, the turrets aren't really underpowered.. you just need to find a good map where there aren't many engineers on your team, and build whenever and wherever you can Time consuming though...

But I heard that they made the turrets a bit more powerful...?? Anyway they do seem pretty useful. Ye I did my K/D a bitta damage trying to get the magnum.

| I haven't given engineer too much time yet. But I heard that they made the turrets a bit more powerful...?? Anyway they do seem pretty useful. Yeah i think they have made them more powerful, but that's more of a feeling i have, i haven't been able to find any info on this. Probably they are more helpful than people think, even if they don't kill people that often they still do some serious damage pretty often, which makes it easier for other people on your team etc. The thing that definitely is wrong about the turrets is that you need to get 5 kills 8 times, that's outright ridiculous. the turrets are more of a support and not killing machines so it is very rare to get 5 kills even once. Comparing to assaults medal "sprint 10 times*8" and some others it gets even worse. What were they thinking when they came up with the flying sentry and the turret medals?... Ye I did my K/D a bitta damage trying to get the magnum. Played so much pistol only its fun though, and hella worth it. The magnum is kinda like the rifle that the sab can use. Pick your shots and the enemy won't see it comin! Isn't the magnum even better than the rifle, like two shot kill instead of three, and you also carry it around all the time, which makes it even more powerful. Changing between sniper for long range deadliness and mid/close range magnum is a little overpowered. | 2009-03-29 15:38:00 Author: Marklin80 Posts: 458 |
| Ye I hope they change the turret and airsupport medals a bit. Like do a certain amount of damage in a match. I haven't used the sab rifle much, but whenever I have it seems really good. I'd say the smg is more suited to the sab though.

| Personally I can't stand the assault class. For the most part it's played by people with zero skill (not saying you in particular), running around like headless chickens. The class is by far the most unbalanced in my opinion. Rockets are just a ridiculous weapon when used on other players instead of turrets or flying bots. I think if you had the option of better armour without the speed the class might be a little more realistic and less annoying. I know... realistic shouldn't factor in in some people's minds where video games are concerned. But seriously... having a more heavily armoured individual running around FASTER than everyone else is completely backwards. I'd even say leave in the pathetic rockets but make the class move slower... as it should be and is in real life. My 2 cents. | 2009-03-29 23:50:00 Author: Rustbukkit Posts: 1737 |
| They are slower, when running normally they run about 20% slower than all other classes. Then the best secondary option for assault is definitely the repair ability, so there you have it, slow assaults. | 2009-03-30 06:55:00 Author: Marklin80 Posts: 458 |
| I go with Assault + Health pack if I know that there are ammo caches but as said, they are actually slower and ANYONE can pick the pill. A speedy cloaked sniper? Plus if the whole team goes assault they'll need the pill to actually get anywhere without a tactician. | 2009-03-30 11:17:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |

I played a match as the sab class and you're right pinkcars, it's a great feeling to blend in with the other team carefully and then taking someone out. Like in one match, some enemy players were camping a capture and hold point so I ran to one corner of it to look like I'm camping it with them, then I went around the back and meleed them all from behind... it's beautiful. | 2009-04-01 16:07:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |

| Same here wex, I decided to just try the online and got hooked immediately! GuyWithNoEyes, well that's fine, the game's not for everyone. I prefer it because it's not as arcade/twitchy as other shooters, it's a lot more focused on tactics. I've been bouncing between this and Resistance 2 and they feel completely different online, the latter being far more arcade like. So whatever floats your boat. | 2009-04-01 16:18:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |

| What are the online bots good for? the only use i can see for them is to play some kind of survival where you are totally outnumbered by easy bots... but that's about it, i would have preferred if they had added a real survival mode instead... | 2009-04-02 19:42:00 Author: Marklin80 Posts: 458 |
| How about survival against really hard bots? I don't know, it's handy if you want to have some company before theroom fills up. | 2009-04-02 20:36:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| Yeah I wanted to re-enact Cod Zombie mode in Killzone but my ps3 is not working reliably. | 2009-04-02 20:51:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |
| I don't know, it's handy if you want to have some company before theroom fills up. Yeah, i didn't think of that, if you want to play in a game that is always full i guess the bots could be pretty useful. edit: No one has posted here in 3 days ...I just came to radec in campaign, any hints on how to beat him on hard? Are you supposed to shoot at him while the bots attack you or is he just some sort of distraction and you are supposed to survive all the bots and then fight radec? | 2009-04-03 17:27:00 Author: Marklin80 Posts: 458 |

Bots online are also useful if you just want to practice or get to know the maps without having to listen to idiots online or suffer from RL n00bs. You can also use them to set up private matches with your friends and still have a full room. As for Radec, beat his guys first... then you will have to deal with him alone. Good luck.. he's a tough s.o.b. | 2009-04-06 19:39:00 Author: Rustbukkit Posts: 1737 |
| Thanks! So uhm, what's your favorite badge and weapon guys? At the moment my favorite weapon is the LMG, pure overpower, and my favorite badge must be the engineer, even if i suck at playing him x). | 2009-04-07 07:41:00 Author: Marklin80 Posts: 458 |
| Thanks! So uhm, what's your favorite badge and weapon guys?

| Tactician + spot and mark for great team playing. But when I get online for about one match I go saboteur to try and get the C4 medal. | 2009-04-07 10:09:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |

| I haven't played this ina while due to work load.... my todo list includes getting the turret badge with engineer. I love the spot and mark ability.. I didn't know about it when I first got scout. I kept getting owned silly in sniper only matches thinking "******, how can they see me so easily!?" ... then I got spot and mark and started owning other snipers in the same fashion and giggled. | 2009-04-14 04:49:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| Yeah I'm starting to get withdrawal pangs. PS3 not working means that my saboteur still hasn't got his boost pill and teams are falling apart without my Tactician+Spot and mark to guide them. Yeah Me>Killzone 2 community | 2009-04-14 10:45:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |

| Isn't everyone bored of this yet? I didn't even finish the carreer before giving up on it, online was just the same every game. What's spot and mark? | 2009-04-14 17:34:00 Author: Pinchanzee Posts: 805 |
| It just marks some people in your FOV with a blue crosshair on the screen and broadcasts the position to the rest of your team.. excellent for snipers and sabateurs. I'm not bored... but then again i don't play it enough to get bored. | 2009-04-14 17:36:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| Jesus, quickest reply EVER :o xD I just got bored of all the rocket launchers, and the turret headshots.. and the other mindless errors they didn't bother to fix. And also the "same ranked players" feature putting me in with snipers at when I'm just a medic. Yay. I actually play COD5 more than this, and COD5 is rubbish... = | 2009-04-14 17:38:00 Author: Pinchanzee Posts: 805 |

| Isn't everyone bored of this yet? I didn't even finish the carreer before giving up on it, online was just the same every game. What's spot and mark? You're not aware of S&M? Sounds to me like you gave up far too soon to really enjoy all that the class system has to offer. You really should get back on and pick your matches more carefully or make your own. Once you open more up the game takes on a whole new way of playing. | 2009-04-15 06:52:00 Author: Rustbukkit Posts: 1737 |
| Guys with the new maps coming out do you think there will be a sudden increase in saboteurs? I imagine with everyone trying to work out the layouts of the maps that a saboteur will not look very obvious since everyone will be a bit lost. | 2009-04-15 08:47:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |

| I think they're downloadable content you have to buy on the shop. Those low hanging roofs could get annoying.... seems to be only good for a few lolz... Maybe the low ceiling will come in to change the level flow at certain points in a match though. Which of you guys are still playing this actively??? I wanna add some friends with headsets.

| PATCH http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=killzone2&thread.id=309958 | 2009-04-17 22:10:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |
| Thanks for the headsup Shermzor Thats a mighty big update! Looks like a lot of friend joining and server features will be improved. This is just what Killzone really needs. CreateNPlay: Just hop onto youtube, and type in killzone review. I'm sure you'll find something worth watching. You should get it if you're really into hardcore-ish FPS's. Ones that have realistic gun aiming/physics that make you work for every kill rather than just spraying and praying. Also its a game that focuses on teamplay. Very much like Team Fortress 2. | 2009-04-17 23:04:00 Author: Pitcard Posts: 779 |
| Looking foward to this and DLC. I was playing in some melee only rooms today, fun stuff. In one match I was playing alone on ISA against 3 Helghasts.... I won with a 2.5:1 KDR. | 2009-04-17 23:12:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| Hehe melee only rooms would completely destroy me. I'm using alternate 2 controls (i think). Melee is set to R3... so its really gammy trying to aim and melee at the same time. But generally when you're outnumbered like that you can win! Cause you have more targets to kill per life. But if they gang up and actually team you out of it... then its not worth playing ^^ Btw I'll add you Foofles, you too Shermzor | 2009-04-17 23:25:00 Author: Pitcard Posts: 779 |

And yep, they had less people to get poiints of, and meleeing together turns into a big mess with teammates getting in eachother's way. I find the actual aiming hard with melee though, it's hard to get a good balance in the game with quick tracking up close and precision aiming for long range. | 2009-04-17 23:32:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| Yeah I always find it hard to adjust to shotgun cause I don't use it much and its mostly quick swingy reaction based... Its still sickeningly powerful if used with skillzz >_> or just luck >_>.... Just wondering.. Do you have a headset Foofles? And are you from US or UK? | 2009-04-17 23:37:00 Author: Pitcard Posts: 779 |

| Ahh no problem, I've been trying to find some people with headsets though, cause apparently it gives the teamwork a lot more depth and efficiency But I still enjoy playing with people I can talk to through psn and stuff. I'm from Ireland btw. | 2009-04-17 23:44:00 Author: Pitcard Posts: 779 |
| You're not aware of S&M? *Fights temptation* No comment. Update doesn't look like anything special imo. Maps look pretty cool, Nothing to make me dust off the box though.. | 2009-04-18 00:21:00 Author: Pinchanzee Posts: 805 |

| I loved Resistance 2, and bought it. This I rented, as I do with most games before buying, and the game just bored me beyond belief, even though I could tell it had quality to it. | 2009-04-18 00:30:00 Author: Echonian  Posts: 279 |

| Just got my hands on this one a couple of days ago. Besides looking good this game did nothing for me. Frustrating controls, inconsistent storyline, unengaged characters and overall bland gameplay. Sure was pretty though. | 2009-04-20 03:21:00 Author: Morrinn3  Posts: 493 |
| I could tell it had a lot of depth to the multiplayer. The controls were fine, in my opinion. The storyline was DECENT, from what I saw, not great. Compared to games such as Resistance 2, the gameplay was quite bland, but more realistic I guess. | 2009-04-20 05:51:00 Author: Echonian Posts: 279 |
| New patch today! And I was playing a 1 on 1 game with my friend and it sent us both the message "you've been kicked and banned from the game" ... wtF? | 2009-04-22 21:31:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| Let me teh join the conversation even though i don't own the game and i don't know anything about it | 2009-04-22 21:36:00 Author: Yarbone  Posts: 3036 |
| This game is incredibly overrated. It's just like every other shooter. | 2009-04-22 21:39:00 Author: qrtda235566 Posts: 3664 |
| kk... is it like COD4? because i totally dislike that game >_< | 2009-04-22 21:42:00 Author: Yarbone Posts: 3036 |
| Well... it may seem overrated because its so hiped up and well reviewed... then you start playing the story mode and get extremely dissapointed... or lots of people do. I have only played the first 3 levels of story mode after having the game for a month. But its by far the best FPS I've played on ps3. And for me probably the best console online fps I've played. The two things that this game exceeds in are the ONLINE and the VISUALS... I'm not usually pushed for visuals in a game.. good ol' nes mario will do me, but the ragdoll physics are fresh and fun, and the lighting is quite striking. The online, however, is the thing that kept me playing. For me it felt just right, its got a lot of room for skill and has very indepth gun physics/gameplay, much like counterstrike. Also its quite rewarding cause the more you play, the more options you have and the more the game really expands for you. I dunno if I'll ever come back to the story mode... it was cool and full of cool moments but none of the characters are engaging or interesting... but I certainly didn't buy this game expecting that kinda story mode. Its just like Halo 3. I would never buy it for the story. | 2009-04-22 22:09:00 Author: Pitcard Posts: 779 |
| This game is incredibly overrated. It's just like every other shooter. Apparently so, but I missed all this hype because I didn't give a **** until I found out it was basically Wolfenstein ET classes in a new light. Shooters have to be hyped because they are the most mainstream game; something like LBP was gob smacking because people used to shooters couldn't believe a game (a not even a shooter!!!) would actually live or even exceed its hype. Still I find Killzone 2 an awesome shooter, singleplayer was meant for Killzone fans who played the first 2 games and read the story article on the killzone website. | 2009-04-22 22:18:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |
| The only flaws I have with this game is that because of the realistic, unresponsive feel, somtimes its quite hard to aim when your running round corner, etc. And ALSO, I HATE the way the rounds are so long, and if your getting bored or somebody 'accidentally' trips over the Ethernet cable, and you quit half-way through, it DOESNT GIVE YOU THE XP!! Im only level 1, but completed the story. <SPOILER!> The last level blows so much! And Radec is so hard to kill! When you just LOOK at him, he goes INVISIBLE! And the flamethrower graphic flame thing shooting-out-the-end-of-the-barrel SUCKS! <END OF SPOILER!> Wanna play? PSN : BlackHairedGoon <---Surprised?? | 2009-04-23 17:50:00 Author: BlackHairedGoon  Posts: 160 |
| 1: The flame-thrower fires liquid fire not gaseous like most games so that's why it's a stream (so I heard). 2: Controls you can get used to (Though some people just don't like them, whatever rocks your boat be it twitchy or slow controls I don't mind) 3: Multiplayer rounds are set by the host, they can be 5 mins or 2 hours and more I think. | 2009-04-23 18:06:00 Author: Shermzor Posts: 1330 |
| The controls do suck unless you fine tune them, unfortunately. I was over at a friend's house and playing on his dual shock 3 (I have a regular SIXAXIS) and couldn't aim for anything. | 2009-04-23 21:46:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| Just as a contrast, I went from playing Killzone 2 to trying out Resistance 2... Man, do you feel the impact of control drastically change. I'm not going to start hyping up Resistance or anything, but what that game definitely has over KZ2 is a much more fine tuned control. | 2009-04-24 02:25:00 Author: Morrinn3 Posts: 493 |
| You're absolutely right, R2 has a really "arcade" feel to the control, much easier to center your sights in on a target... including the crosshair still visible in the "down the sights" view. Unfortunately... I love KZ2 to death, don't get me wrong.. but the controls are a pain. It's so hard to balance between precision and speed, and the delay is annoying especially with the shotgun when you have to time each shot perfectly as you're circle strafing. | 2009-04-24 03:00:00 Author: Foofles Posts: 2278 |
| Woah... this thread is getting moldy. Yeah so I haven't really played too much lately. I've gots exams soon, and will definitely get back to some lbp and KZ2 after that. Just saw this up on the PS Blog! http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/05/27/killzone-2-patch-127-details/ Check it out! They've brought out a "High Precision" option for your controls. I imagine this will be a blessing for most people who are struggling with the controls. The KZ team have said themselves that they really enjoy it, and have set it so that high precision is the default for newcomers. They've made joining friends a lot easier and staying with the same squad between games. Also they've finally fixed the unbalanced teams problem. You can now switch to the team with fewer players. Sounds like a perfect update. All the major problems appear to be addressed for me anyhow | 2009-05-27 19:14:00 Author: Pitcard Posts: 779 |

| I was extremely underwhelmed by Killzone 2. sure its pretty, but it is incredibly short and looks, feels and sounds like a gears of war 2 clone. I mean they've even put blue lights on their armour ala GoW. I liked the first killzone and think the :kz: are the most iconic game baddies of recent years, but what I enjoyed most about it was the story, and really thats what sets a game apart for me. From the adverts I expected a groundbreaking story of many levels, not marcus fenix lite going on holiday to helghan with his COG buddies and fighting electro-spiders. solo campaign was weak, however I haven't played multiplayer yet. the one thing that you can't argue though is that this is one hell of a good looking game, the detail in the environments is mind blowing and sometimes I would forget there was a war going on as I took it all in. don't get me wrong, it was good and by the time I got to the end I was starting to enjoy it, but then it just finished. I think I just expected too much from it. | 2009-06-06 00:23:00 Author: groble  Posts: 223 |

| still playing this game if anyone wants to play message me on PSN or here! cool, I'll add you. I'm gonna be playing a bit in 2 weeks. Had a quick few rounds with the update and its really nice. The precision aiming just feels much better. I never got too good at sniping but I was just trying today and got about 5 or 6 in a row. Very satisfying. Plus I only realized now that I could go to second Zoom................ I just presumed since you could unlock a zoom, that 2nd zoom wasn't unlocked yet... Now I'm wondering if 3rd zoom is really necessary >_> | 2009-06-06 19:06:00 Author: Pitcard Posts: 779 |
