Ganepark32 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 ^ I'd love to play in some longer games. In the games that I've played online so far, they've all been relatively short. Haven't been back on this yet. Rugby's on at the moment and I'm watching that but I'll be on afterwards for some single and multiplayer action.
dwarf Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Yeah longer games needed, I've only been able to get one turret ribbon.
Daft Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 Got the mechanic badge. I didn't realised you were forced to use a shotgun...I'm not a fan. I think some of the maps are borked. The Academy totally screws over the ISA and that long alley one just has the Helghast getting cornered.
Chuck Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Playing a game with Daft and Caris. Loads of people standing at the top of the stairs while I'm readying a grenade... 3 team kills inc. Daft
Daft Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 Playing a game with Daft and Caris. Loads of people standing at the top of the stairs while I'm readying a grenade... 3 team kills inc. Daft This is what I'm talking about the maps being borked. That's a massive bottle neck and you're completely exposed. I was actually trying to pull back when that grenade landed but I couldn't move because I was surrounded by my own team. It is basically like shooting fish in a barrel.
Deathjam Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 ranked up quite a bit and finally unlocked the engineer, fitted with shotgun! Awesome combo when you are the target for assasination. Just set up two turrets in one little room and wait for the enemy to rush into your headshots as they see the turrets first. Quite good as a medic too, but it's funny, as soon as someone sees you are a medic, you get so many team invites.
Daft Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 Well I was on the ISA side for ages until I thought I'd give Helghast a go to see if I could do any better. What's the long way round? The only two ways I see are the two ramps. Both are death traps. As for Radec Academy every match I've played on it, 15+, has ended with the Helghast pushing the ISA back to their spawn point.
Daft Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 Yeah, no tacticians in this game. I guess that'll even out. It wasn't that big a deal. I was only Helghast for 4 matches because I refused to quit until we won. I think I'll go for tactician when I get it. Do they score points when they place a pawn point? When can you combine skills? Is that when you get your class specific medals? I guess the whole thing will even out when everyone levels up.
Caris Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I was looking at the clan page and i have a red ribbon behind my rank, what does that mean? Really loving the online now, seemed to have got totally used to the controls and I'm coming in the top 1/4 every game Oh if anyone doesn't have me on PSN add me- NegativeCharge
Daft Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 You dont need them either. You can use anyone spawn point. As well as squad leader spawn point. Here is Battle Replay of me getting first on radec academy. Note the tactics. Its not worth staying at the bases. http://www.killzone.com/kz/tour_round_history.psml?kz_match_id=219929&kz_file_id=207952 Yeah, personally I don't have a problem. I've always got a positive kill ratio and I tend to hang back, pick people off, stuff like that. A lot of other people get mullered and bring the whole team score down. I don't mean the Academy, I knew about the tunnel. I tend to go over the top. What are the alternate paths in Blood Gracht?
Chuck Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Can I get a clan invite? I was looking at the clan page and i have a red ribbon behind my rank, what does that mean? Really loving the online now, seemed to have got totally used to the controls and I'm coming in the top 1/4 every game Oh if anyone doesn't have me on PSN add me- NegativeCharge General of the Army?
Ganepark32 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Played a bit more online. Love the Pyrrhus map, the one with the 3 warped bridges and the shanty homes. I'm not doing great though. Languishing around the bottom half of the matches I'm playing in but my kills:death ratio is pretty close. Only played 4 of the maps on Body count and so I'm still trying to get my bearings abit. I'll be trying to find my way around and get hammered by one of the enemy. Also got in some single player and I'm part way into Visari Square, up to the bit with Natko and Rico. For some reason I'm getting the same feeling I had when playing Gears of War 2 when I'm playing this in single player. It's not bad by any means, some intense bits so far, but there's something about it that's not sitting right. Meh, who cares. I'm enjoying it and it's making me glad that I bought a PS3 for the first time, although I have missed out on some must-have titles for the PS3 like LBP so they could have made me feel this as well.
Daft Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 When playing multiplayer, press the PS button and bring up the XMB. You can then listen to custom music from your PS3 to go with your killing sprees. Nothing says “Kill the ISA scum” like the super swinging sounds of Burt Bacharach. I did NOT know this.
flameboy Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Anyone up for a big forum game tonight? I am but stuck at work...we need to get online with the whol clan get a couple of squads going. I need to do some serious ranking up...finish work at 10 so home some time after that.
Daft Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 Might be on after Match of the Day. Will be on a lot of tomorrow for sure!
Chuck Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I'm on the last level of the singleplayer and its amazing so far. I've had a few games of multiplayer and I'm ranging mid-top table of my own team. I can hold 1st but I wont finish there and the top of the other team usually has loads more kills. I find it takes ALOT to kill someone and I usually have to wrap my fingers around the controller to get on target, even on my preffered button mapping. They have this rank and ribbon system so that you can upgrade your gear but you start off with sooo few bullets and 1 grenade and thats it. Did I unlock the SMG? It still has 16 bullets and I find myself running out of ammo especially when I cant hit anybody. Maybe I'm crap. Nope. I pwn.
Chris the great Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 got my medic badge. to be honest, its not for me. like the smg to much.
Daft Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 I'd be a mechanic but I'm not a fan of the shotgun. I like hanging back and the shotgun is useless for that.
Chris the great Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 see, i love wading in, but not with the shot gun. i like using the smg but god damn ammo gets low. still that means i managed to do some good last stands with the pistol. got a great feeling when i killed some rifle toting prat with my crap little pea shooter.
dwarf Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 This game is now incredible online, there is now huge variety of classes in teams, explosions everywhere. I'm currently at the assualt class, with the grenade launcher and M80 missile launcher. My favourite class is the tactician, although so far I haven't had much success with the air support. Anyway, the games have been brilliant. The graphics on the canal level where everything was going crazy was phenominal. Is this stuff possible on the 360?
That Guy Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'm loving this game so far. Totally worth it. I'm really getting used to the aiming and controls. I'm actually finding it easier to aim with the weighty aiming, as I usually find that when I aim in other games I always go a bit too far, but I'm a bit better in this game. Some of the cover stuff can be a bit frustration but it definitely works better than something like FEAR. Still, I've done the first 2 levels and really want to play some more which is always a good sign.
dwarf Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 One of my most epic online games there. Me and Choze got loads of kills, Choze moreso, but anyway, it came to the Search and Retrieve, I managed to do one, then Choze did one, and then for the third Choze had it, I saw him waiting for the oppurtune moment to make a break for it, so I followed him down the home straight and, no lie, shot 2 rockets and killed 4 people and he managed to deliver it! Lol it was awesome. The game was a bit one-sided but still.
Daft Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 I died alot with Daft earlier Oh, so it was my fault then?!...stupid friendly fire... I was ISA on the map for the first time last night and I was totally confused because I just hadn't been to that side of the map. I'll be on in an hour or so.
