So this was originally datamined as a themed warbond, including new call in stratagems.

However they seem to have taken the decision to sell them piece by piece instead. A little disappointing, as it means we now have weapons and I assume stratagems in the premium store now. The cost alone of everything in this first set is already well over the 1000 for the warbond.

I thought the stun baton was a weird thing to do, but this confirms that selling weapons outside of the bonds is now the new norm.

Ok I might finally get this then.

Whats it like jumping in as a new player now? And how is the matchmaking for teaming up with randoms?
You just get dropped in to games with randoms. You can kick people I believe if it’s your game, but most people are chill.

You can run the lower levels solo no problem but when you start going for the higher difficulties teamwork becomes more important. Strategising your strategems etc. for the most impact.

There is a good GAF community also. Feel free to add me on PSN, DM’ed you my PSN name.

Pretty good time to jump. All three factions are there and due to the new update lots of people are playing the game so you won't have any trouble finding matches( although I personally never had any issues finding matches with random since launch). The game is currently at a great place with varied weapons and strategm( almost all are viable).

Is that the sniper rifle/assault rifle hybrid from Shadow Fall? I loved that weapon.

So... this has to be a warbond right? Because the prices of these items as individual purchases are insane. Not to mention, selling weapons behind the paid currency that is difficult to farm drags this game straight into P2W territory...

I mean so far the stats on the guns are shit... it's a bit like how the stun baton is just a worse shock lance from the warbond when that was sold... so pay 2 lose?

But no their no longer a warbond there just selling them strait up now for 4x the price. I bought em because what else am I gonna do with my spare SC?

Just another live service game descending into MTX hell. No surprises here.

Game is average at best with it's lame looking explosions made of sprites.

New weapons have been part of premium Warbonds (that you have to buy with premium currency) since the start. P2W accusations were made at the time and they didn't stick then, so...

Killzone 2 was so great.

I really loved the dark, gritty, war-is-hell atmosphere of the game.

As I understand it, Guerrilla weren't too fond of it, which is why Killzone 3 had a lighter tone.
Didn't that have more to do with people whining about brown and drab colors and just hating Rico?

Tbf, people were whining about brown and drab shooters in general throughout the entire gen at the time.

As a new player it feels as if everything is extremely grindy and it seems to take a really long time to fill out a single warbond. Let alone multiple. I've also only found like 20 SC after playing for a few hours...

This is a terrible system tbh.
