Killzone 2

[Deathjam]

BTW thanks Dwarf for keeping me focused i got the magnum. Thought i was losing it. Then i clicked and started getting tons of kills round after round. Dont know recall how i got the previous ribbons 4 pistol ribbons. Melee shouldnt be a problem, I seem good at that.

 

I think i may have sent you an invite this morning. Log in to killzone(game) and check clan or messages within the game.

 

Gotta add Ganepark32 too. I hope i am not missing anyone else. Have officers tried inviting? does it work?

 

Yeah inviting works for officers.

And the magnum is awesome. I switch freely between that and the main gun as its so helpful if you are carrying a short range weapon like the shotgun, or a dangerous to use one when in close quarters like the grenade launcher, oh and also when you have the sniper rifle as that is useless in close quarters.

reminds me of the deagle from Counterstrike (Source), just a heck of a lot more accurate.

[Choze]

Yes the magnum is so handy. It looks nice as well. Makes scout class that much more stronger. Also as Saboteur or Assault you run out of ammo quickly. I have actually got lots of kills via the sniper rifle without scope. Seems to work sometimes point blank. Used it on afew people yesterday.

 

Glad i got the headshot medal as i get one extra point each time now. Going to try for melee today. Will use Assault. Reminds me i need to play single player. I am up to Visari square.

[Chris the great]

had an abysmal time of it today, worst ive played since i actualy learned what i was doing.

 

actualy came last, and im usualy at least 6th.

 

oh well, hopefully i'll be back on form later on

Whenever I play the campaign I think to myself 'Why am I not online?' So if I do some single player it is only for 1 level.

For me it's mundane to play.

[flameboy]

The single player controls do have a different feel, that was intentional according to GG. for example run and turn and both are very different. I think you are adjusting. You were tough to play against today. The PS forums are full of people thinking of different control conspiracy theories funnily enough. That seems to be dieing down though.

 

 

 

You also should never be signing out of PSN unless its maintenance or everyone is badly hammering PSN which is rare. So something is not quite right.

 

Have you plugged in your PS3 directly to the cable modem? Bypassing the router. I should have said this earlier so apologies. That way you know for sure whether its the router or not. Though wired router should work in most cases. Also you are with Virgin 20MB? they give a white Netgear router for free? upnp on that is not always perfect.

 

It's not a netgear router I have...been on Virgin since it was NTL and therefore didn't get the free rotuer as wasn't a new customer. Am on 20mb though...

 

I'll try the cable modem option...

That's how I played it.

[dwarf]

Just logged onto Killzone.com

It seems like it's working fine now.

[Choze]

Yeah it hought the parts leading upto the end of Visari Square were mundane. But it picks up nicely after that. Its not as cinematic as COD4 but the shooting is more enjoyable. No endless waves of enemies and hidden lines to pass. Plus there was a boss battle which was a nice change of pace

 

The flamethrower is really nice too. It sticks to the right objects. Seen some incredible animation on the Helghast. Sound effects are amazing. Overall impressed now. Multiplayer is the big thing though since we will be playing it for ages.

 

killzone.com update is good.

Let me know how it goes.

[Daft]

I think the single player has a real dip in the middle but I love the beginning and end.

[LegoMan1031]

Now thatn killzone.com is working i think its very good! Nice to see the table with us all on etc.

[Choze]

We should design a logo for our clan and upload it. I will try to think of something.

[flameboy]

Well last night I managed to get an uninterrupted 1 hour and 10 minutes! Which is great lol! No dips no lag no problems, to cap it off was top of the winning team for first time ever I'm back in the game!

[Choze]

One thing i find annoying about single player is the controls are much slower than multiplayer. Dont know the reasoning behind making both modes different for speed. This is probably why there is confusion, as many are not aware.

 

Like the story events though. The helghast are good enemies. Unlike COD games they are not easily flanked either. Also my teammates have been somewhat effective funnily enough. Garza is still useless though.

Hmm. Was it that your speeds were capped by Virgin? :wink:

 

just a theory.

Nice commentary by Dave Jaffe regarding the power online hosts have and how annoying it is when they make bad choices. Happens to everyone. This used to be bad in the CS days.

So the theory would stand that the times I am struggling to connect to killlzone servers is when Virgin are capping usage? I have heard that this happens sometimes late at night with them...last night was playing between about 8ish-9ish

If you reach a certain amount of usage i think 800MB or something for your entire household(do check). You get capped. Thats just the evening. There are different limits at other times too. Obviously since you use PSN and presumably a pc for multimedia you will be passing the limit all the time!

 

Resistance puts less strain on an internet connection as its more server based than KZ2. Warhawk is 100% server based.

 

Also:

 

hi all,

 

as you are aware the game servers are down at the moment. We are performing a server update and will also be deploying the game update straight after that to fix a number of issues. We’ll provide a wee statement later on all of the fixes and let you know when the servers are back. Good times!

Are you sure you were not downloading via something like bittorrent? or someone else busy on another computer? Or the obligatory were you downloading porn? when playing Those also have an effect, especially when you hit your cap which in my time was about 800MB only including all uploading.

Nope don't use bit torrent...didn't have itunes running, don't download porn lol :P sometimes my dad is doing work on the computer but he wasn't in the day the problems were really high... I turned off the other computer...had my netbook running but with just a single browser window open with N-E up, refreshed inbetween games thats it really... even turned my anti virus software off on netbook and msn messenger and steam just incase they were mucking about...

 

EDIT;

 

Well not everyone likes killzone 2 it seems;

I think he is mostly talking tosh...he lost me when he came out with this piece of crap;

 

Unfortunately most of my own PS3 gaming clan are counted among the more casual side of the gamers spectrum. It’s unlikely they’ll want to adapt to a new concept in FPS control.

 

Firstly I think its bollocks, that PS3 gamers are more casual...part of the PS3's problem is that it hasn't hit the critical mass in the same way as the PS2 did and secondly if they were that casual an audience a slight change in controls wouldn't make any difference as they wouldn't be so indoctrinated in the likes of CoD...basically talking shit but it got him hits and on the front page of N4G...

[Choze]

Woohoo new patch up. That was fast. Well done GG.

Well lets see. Fact is it varies for you. Sometimes stable, other times not.

 

Most gamers wont care or even notice the minor control feel differences. Also some are equating single player and multiplayer as having the same control feel. Which is why some are saying they did something to speed it up when in reality its just that they are now playing multiplayer.

 

Also its N4G. Fanboy articles make it to the top.

Well it was fine in multiplayer so let see. I am guessing they are using mult iplayer settings for single player now.

[Chris the great]

had lost of fun over the past could of days, got the tactician badge, which is pretty good if you know what your doing.

 

started changing my class abit bepending on what the match is, tacticans and engineeres are alot better then i first realised, but i still use medic for the huge scale battles.

 

 

played a super long match last night, each round was set to 30 mins, and the maximum number of points. it decended into anarchy for a full 30 mins trying to plant charges, i swear, i must have gotten most of my kills and deaths in the short window. i didnt mind losing, i mean, i thought i played well, but some whinney bitch american guy was almost in tears that "WE LOST EVERYTHING!"

 

wish the bolt gun was available online.

Yeah i agree i didn't have a problem but they do feel better. Single player feels the same though.

[Choze]

I think the single player control is improved. Feels closer to multiplayer now. The deceleration is gone so its looser.

 

Multiplayer seems exactly the same so far. Did not get to try the Assault rifle or Saboteur machine gun much yet though.

Yeah you will love the last classes. Also unlock the badges so you can swap afew abilities.

 

Losing is not the end of the world! Just have fun. Its impossible to always win and be perfectly organised.

 

Anarchy is funny though because people earn less points not doing objectives. For example in Search and Destroy you get a bonus point for killing in the area of the objective. Thats like 2 kills for the price of 1. Plus with winning the 50% bonus does not hurt!

Search and destroy is my fave as thats where some classes really come into their own: e.g.

 

Assault - rush up and lay those mines while enemies are distracted. by the time they notice you, mine is set

 

Sabotuer - Sneak you way past enemy and set those mines OR if you are defending, lay some sneaky C4

 

Scout - Snipe anyone who gets to the target. Simple really. free headshots too as they have to be still

 

Man do I love this game. Had the best session ever yesterday, coming first in about 4 games, and unlocking C4. The scout class is just...sooooo good. Love it when you snipe someone, then hide so that when they come for you, of course you are not there...at least to the untrained eye.

 

Loved it when i was playing capture and hold, and this guy came and sat down right in front of me, giving me a nice and easy headshot. And the disguise class is perfect for free headshots too. That small window of hesitation on their part is their death sentence.

Woop just got my first Quad kill and scored 75 points in the round.
