I think that is your rank overall to other players the higher the value of the card the better you are im an Ace.

So, you're one of those unkillable laggers that kills others!
I was actually worried about being "that lagger", but I did ask the friends I played with, and I'm good
. I actually haven't encountered any laggers as yet either strangely. Though I am only 1 day into the beta. Had my first 1v1 and 3vs1 match just now - was terrible D:
Edit - wish there was a way to join a public game that's lacking in players instead of just being able to join friends.

I played two games last night, and only encountered a lagger once. I shot him to death in the face, the cheating bastard.
I use a Dualshock 3 like Assist Grip and concave analog nubs. It definitely helps and it's much more comfortable for long sessions.

Please can anybody tell me how to improve the controls?
I activate the use of motion controls (worked fine in Uncharted GA), but nothing happens.
I have tried with the configuration, but still, is very hard to point and shoot, sometimes I bump in front of somebody and I can't not even aim right.

It only kicks in when you're aiming down the sights (default controls: left trigger), I had the same problem.
From the one game I've managed to play, I think it will take me a while to get used to the controls in this game, but it looks stunning.
"Valor Cards follow the same ranking as a normal deck of playing cards; 2 being the lowest, Ace being the highest.
The suit of your Valor Card is determined by attaining consecutive kills with different weapons:
Diamonds - sub-machine guns
Spades - sniper rifles
Clubs - assault rifles and light machine guns
Hearts - secondary weapon"
That's the explanation, just got Queen of Clubs but I've been using the incendiary shotgun a bit lately so I might end up rolling over to hearts.

Love this game a lot but I definitely feel like I'm being held back in some scenarios by the controls. I'm sure I will adjust over time though, something not quite right with the analog sticks but I can't put my finger on what.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Tssssk, Queen of Clubs. I should be a King! KING PIE AND BEANS. LONG MAY HE REIGN.
Use circle while moving.

Don't worry, you were easy to hit

Thanks, I tried and it has improved a bit, but I still found hard to aim.

Are there any GAF Killzone beta list groups to join? Because it would be nice to not just play against strangers.

I think this game is awesome. I played one game so far, but was immediately and ended the round first place in my team 24:27.
This game is a buy.

My valour card is Ace of clubs. Is that good? What's the highest valour card you can get?

Game looks ridiculous.
I would never expect it to look like this.
Plus plays great, after weird KZ3.
Spawning needs fixing right now though, one big mess.

Ace, dude. Well done.

Man... Gyro aiming feels a bit like cheating once you get used to it

Very impressed with KZM. Played about 4 hours of the beta so far. Wish there were more maps to try.
Only gripe so far: Guerilla should fix the spawning, but otherwise I am buying this Day 1.
I got an Ace of Clubs Valor card - I don't think I am that good. Wonder what criteria the issuance of a valor cards is based upon.

Can someone explain this Hacking lark with the symbols?
Alex Connolly

Look at the central symbol, then tap any symbols on the outside that could overlay the central symbol exactly. Tap the central symbol after selecting each outside symbol to confirm the 'overlay'.
If that makes sense.

If you sprint, do you appear on the mini-map for the opposing team to see?

Just been playing this on my lunch break - absolutely fantastic. Needs a few kinks ironed out but very, very impressed.
You need to have grenades equipped on your loadout (they aren't there by default).
You can tap the grenade icon to equip a grenade, and press the right trigger to throw.
Or press down on the D-pad to quick throw a grenade.

Press down on the d-pad for quick throw. You need to buy and equip them first.
Edit: Beaten with a stick.
Hope it helps. It's simple, but incredibly hard to explain in words

Can somebody explain me why are there invulnerable players?
I emptied three cartridges on a guy, one of them only in his head and he didn't died, later a fellow and me targeted the same player from different angles and he didn't fell, just killed us one by one without even looking for cover.

Sounds like lag/bad connection. I could be wrong though, haven't experienced this.
Is there a Van-guard that has a benefit like this?
No. If they get in your line of sight they appear on the map.

Is there any way to map the quick throw to the touch screen?
I feel the same. I think it might be because the analog sticks are a little short and don't have quite enough "throw" to them. That and maybe sensitivity settings which I've been experimenting with.

So that's how it works. Thanks dude.

Man, the porcupine is OP.
I jumped on this for the first time last night, and all I can say is WOW!
First off, THIS feels like the promise of the PSP and Vita of console game on the go brought to fruition. Everything about this game screams top notch production. There was thought put into this game. I really like how this game introduces some new things to KZ MP. Picking up the valour cards is a fun idea, and I like the power ups that drop around the map. Piloting the Mantis system for the first time was awesome, I was not expecting to drill into peoples heads like that! Coolest weapon in an FPS in a while. The framerate never dropped for me, which was incredible, and the game was just super fun. The only reason I stopped was because I found out it was 2 A.M, but man I wanted to keep going. The controls feel great too. This is easily, EASILY the best FPS on a handheld, and it makes me more excited for Shadowfall as well !
Great job GG CAMBRIDGE ! Day one purchase for sure.

My first match I couldn't even see anything because of how wild the controls were. I ended up having to lower the sensitivity to just 4 notches, it's much better now and I can actually see enemies.
Conversely, motion control seems to be a lot less sensitive than UGA, you might want to bump that up a bit.
Graphically, this game is astonishing, and it's super crisp. I do wish however, that we were given some sort of short tutorial, I have no idea how to deal with those mini-games you're presented with when you engage a vanguard pod.
Ah, I didn't realize you had to tap the center icon after the first key. Thanks man.
