Killzone Mercenary Beta Discussion

How is this game a solid 30+ fps?

Like, Battlefield 4 can't even do reflections, but this game can with 30+ fps.

I will be buying this game day 0 and all my Monies go to Guerrilla and Killzone SF. Godly devs.
 
It's crazy that this game runs so well in MP with everyone's varying internet and WiFi. So not only is a phenomenal engine the netcode is really nice as well.

I had to turn the Gyro sensitivity all the way up, and once I did that it felt unfair. Lol. Fine tuning my aim with Gyro is.....every game should have it. Plain and simple. Makes me wonder how well it would work on a DS4 in KZ:SF.
 
So I got 2 codes for the beta (NA) but I'm not sure if one of them will work since I got it through Home.

First 2 to reply to this will get the codes.

Edit: Both codes gone.

Pick the pattern that half matches the emblem in the middle, then pick the second half.

Also, this game is amazing. The most fun I've had on vita since p4g. Can't wait to get it in my hands.

I love the gyro aiming.

There is no auto-balance in this game. So if 3 people in my team quit, a dude from the different team isn't being moved over.

Are the counters coming out for you guys? I get the the indicator that I did the correct swipe (it flashes) but then nothing happens. Only worked one 1 of 5 times for me.

(Spawning is still bullshit in the game.)

Auto-Balancing is desperately needed.
 
Wow. That Ghost vanguard is incredible. I could just walk right up to people and melee them...and I could still continue with the stealth mode on!
 
Had my best game with 19-40..enjoying this beta way more than I thought I would. Map design and size is perfect too imho.
 
Just got done playing a couple games with buds over party chat and cannot believe that I'm experiencing this on a handheld. The graphics and framerate hold up very well, something surprising like destroying bits of cover add a lot. The controls are weird at first, but lowering the sensitivity changed the feel drastically to a more controllable feel. It felt more like an aim acceleration slider more than anything. Also, spawns could use some touching up as spawn killing was fairly rampant during our 7 games.

Complaints aside, I look forward to grabbing a copy knowing that its a competent addition to the franchise, and have hope that the game sparks more interest in the Vita after the recent price cut.

Is melee brokenly good or people just don't get how to counter it yet? I've been able to swipe shank my way to victory and gather intel like crazy and I'm usually pretty ass at these things for a few weeks so something must be wrong. I did have one standoff with someone who kept countering it and backing up to shoot me and I kept going back at him until I was successful.

I think thats the point though, if you were armored up and carrying a knife, in the real world, in close proximity to an enemy, youd win if they didnt go for a headshot - as such whoever it was clearly was emptying his clip into your torso and not your head.

This is more of an issue when youre using a low-repeating fire gun such as one with a silencer that isnt fully automatic.
The same is true for singleplayer all the way through the game on easy, you can practically kill everyone and they wont counter except for one particular instance (no spoilers here) but doing the same on hard will see you dying, often.
Once people get to grips with multiplayer and you start coming across better players rather than "everyones first day in vidya land", the frequency of how often you can get away with knifing everyone will drop off significantly.

a multiplayer game should never be judged for its gameplay mechanic until its matured enough for a decent amount of people to get good.

I believe myself and a couple others in this thread have access to the review copy, and today the online portion of said version is active, so if theres anything anyone would like confirmation on with regards to beta and final retail let me know, and ill do my best to answer without breaking nda
 
Damn, either the STA-14 is shit, or I completely suck at it. I can't kill jack shit with. Switching back to default gun.

Oh, I replaced my sidearm pistol to a.......grenade launcher! Only costs 4300!!

Is there a voice chat option without the need for the party app in the final game? Thats one thing this game needs especially in warzone hacking; you might need cover when hacking and voice chat for pubs i much needed. Also how is the matchmaking in the final game?

here is one of my best games on this map

My only complaint so far is spawn camping. This lagging douche just keeps avoiding the objectives and camping our spawn nonstop and when you do catch him, he's lagging so bad that you can't even kill him.

Anyway, add "demolitio" if any of you want to party up.
 
Goddam I can't believe how good this game is. I've had vita since launch and this is the first game to make my jaw drop. Absolutely in love.
 
I'm IceySubzero if anyone wants to add me. I'm not very good though, still learning.

Just bought the m66 because I wanted a change from the default gun.
 
I finally played a match and it looks damn good. It also controls really well. I was surprised by how quickly I adapted to the controls. The hacking didn't make sense to me at first, and I still have no idea how to use the porcupine thing I picked up, but everything else I tried just flowed so naturally.

edit- I do find that I have to try to join a game many times before getting in without an error. I just tried 15 times in a row and I still haven't been able to join another one.
