None of them are awesome until they send me a beta code dude ...

hisfirstname@guerrilla-games.com try it , you ll see :lol

Is that a real email address ?
Do you asked for a beta code ?

EDIT: Ok ,i should send an email.... just in case.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

One thing I love about the game is the shaky cam. Greengrass haters be damned!

 

[-COOLIO-]

From what I remember playing of MGO, it takes a big ass amount of bullets to take down someone.

technically it doesnt. 4 shots to the torso but characters have "invincibility frames" so you cant take guys down that quickly without a headshot

yeah , sebastian@ ... I tried , told him that I'm frustrated about code giveaway is in one man's hand and he replied " who the hell are you " , GG workers are very very very kind ...

Here's my reply

" Hi Seb , I'm a customer you muthafucka!!!! , Kind regards " ...

 

[Insane Metal]

Come on now guys... stop bothering the devs asking for beta keys. That's just not right. It'd be a good thing to take out those email addresses you guys posted here, huh?

 

[Tempy]

yeah , sebastian@ ... I tried , told him that I'm frustrated about code giveaway is in one man's hand and he replied " who the hell are you " , GG workers are very very very kind ...

Here's my reply

" Hi Seb , I'm a customer you muthafucka!!!! , Kind regards " ...

There are no more codes to give away. Stop bothering people.

 

[andycapps]

You people emailing the developers are just sad. The game will be out soon enough. I want in the beta as much as anybody, but I'll just either wait my turn or get the game when it's released. Going stalker-ish and emailing them at their company emails is a way over the top.

Come on, spamming those hard working people like that doesn't help anybody. Ask kindly in the official forums about beta code give-away status or ask here.

It's quite sad, actually. Scary too. Learn to control yourself.

Now... since K2 is months from release... K2 DEMO like 'NAO' !

Anyway i didnt email him .

 

[JardeL]

It has been almost 2 weeks , this is not new...

And Tempy , I know no beta keys left , but you like to tell us how kitton got a key please ?

I'm not spamming , dont worry lol .. I just sent an email , he replied thats all ... I did not even reply to him , nothing wrong there ...

Anyway , lets talk about the game ...

 

[Fizzle]

So yeah, I wonder what they're doing with Home.

I'm hoping they use Home's impressive party system!!

I read that in the new 1.0 build... you can sit.... on the floor !!!11!!1!

You can sit?! On the floor?! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Sounds like competition for Sackboy!!

 

[cameltoe]

this thread needs more media blowout!!!

 

[Insane Metal]

Nice!!!

Imagine a GAF crowd in an event inside home watching a presentation like, say, E3, and all the gaffers sitting on the floor to see it

 

[jett]

Oh yeah I forgot about that, one of the things that put me off MGO during the beta. Stupid design decision.

 

[Fersis]

Its worst when you get hit by a shotgun from 30 mtrs, and your character is stunned by like 3 seconds.

 

[anonymousAversa]

Yeah MGO pisses me off alot sometimes. Although the graphics and audio are top notch,

the annoying login (literally takes 20 minutes to get in the main game, launch MGO, log in and automatch)
having to shoot over a full clip to kill sometimes,
the inconsistent headshots caused by frequent lag, and
annoying design mechanics like the shotgun thing you just mentioned...

I've shelved it for a while. Frustrates me for now.

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

WaW is the third fastest selling game ever in the UK.

Only because of COD4. Then again maybe Treyarch can make a successful career out of copying everything IW does.

 

[anonymousAversa]

I know this is off topic, but if I hear another kid say something like

"yeah COD4 is awesome...did you get COD FIVE YET? IT'S GONNA BE SO SICK!111!one!"

I might.........well yeah I'll probably come here and rant about it since nobody else gets it.

But it's annoying.

 

[KZObsessed]

If someone could take a 1080p direct capture of this frame from the Helghast trailer on PSN Id be very grateful!

Would make an incredible wallpaper!

 

[Firewire]

I wants more .gifs of teh awesome!

Looks over at Insane Metal

:/

I'm pretty sure you can just transfer the video file over to your PC with a memory stick.

 

[KZObsessed]

My laptop doesn't display 1080p so what could I use to do it?

 

[skulpt]

lol. I stole your picture, captured three others from TTP's vids, and used one official screen.

You should feel glad. Your screen grab was worthy of theft.

Yeah, I was just teasing ya. : ) Great writeup. And to be honest, I want people to use what ever means they can to sell people on this amazing game.

 

[morlock]

My laptop doesn't display 1080p so what could I use to do it?

Just play the video in VLC and make a framegrab and you have a screen of the videos native resolution.

 

[Future PhaZe]

I've watched the multiplayer trailer over and over about 10 times now :lol

Managed to watch the trailer on my hdtv for the first time today. Good stuff. Anyone have any suggestions on where I can get the highest quality trailers though (as far as video quality)? The one I was looking at seemed a bit soft.

 

[theBishop]

Resistance2 does

 

[anonymousAversa]

guys not keeping this thread on the first page is unacceptable

You're emailing the devs and begging for beta codes? They have a game to make, they don't care about you not being in the beta.

 

[Dante]

Resistance2 does

It does? How does one go about using that?

You can download most of the official video's in HD over at the Killzone site. Check out the media section.

...AND THE FUTCHAAHHH!!!!

THE FUTCHAHHH!!!!!!! IS. OUR. BIRTHRIGHT!!!!!!!

/Scolar Visari

What an amazing voice actor. I really hope KZ2 has a story on par with Uncharted.

This is why in the beta I love to pick playing as a Helghast. That voice telling you the objectives in the game when you start...great!

 

[AndyD]

It does? How does one go about using that?

If you are using the party system in R2 you are using it already. The Home one would just keep those players together if they exit R2. Or auto put them together if you enter R2 from Home. It will essentially be a cross game party, whether you go into R2 or MOtrostorm 2... you always stay together.

 

[Kittonwy]

I love them too. I LIVE for old Quake/Unreal. But there is a huge difference between insta-gibbing in a game like Unreal and a game like COD4.

In Unreal/Quake, you have an array of options for evading fire and fighting back. In COD4, you have NONE. You're beyond fucked if you are caught by surprise unless the other person is COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT. So, you're encouraged to play like a little bitch. I'm a bit worried Killzone 2 might be the same way (not very fast moving, yet kill nearly instantly)

Oh, another complaint: THE KILLCAM.

It's either totally wrong (probable) or greandes/noob tube home in and track your movement. Also, nothing like being shot ONCE in the foot by a single LMG bullet on killcam, yet you got "headshot" and instagibbed in the game! Either make it work or leave that shit out.

It's set up in such a way that it takes less than one clip to kill someone (without reloading, but if you're being shot at you CAN turn around and retaliate but you've GOT to be quick about it), it isn't the drill fest that is other games and it isn't like COD4 where when you go into ironsight you lock on and it's just a quick kill, ironsight aiming is manual so while you have a green dot which provides quite a bit of accuracy, you have to deal with recoil so it does take skill in terms of ironsighting, and hip shooting feels great. The shooting mechanics and damage are both really balanced.

 

[KZObsessed]

Thanx, I didn't know about VLC. I'm such a noob. Worked great, tho I can't move forward by single frames, but I got a ton of 1080p shots. Will host if people want but I think everyones seen that trailer almost frame by frame now.

 

[DunpealD]

Off-topic:
You've forgotten some things:

Excessive team stacking(Level 9 here, Level 3 there)
Grenade Warp and the warping after gotten hit by a grenade
Expensive expansions
A part of the community is rotten to the bone(at least in EU), especially in Survival.
Lack of necessary communication between team mates
Region locked
Maps and modes are often getting repeated over and over again in Survival(sometimes you think a map is becoming your new home)
Box diving

and probably some other things I've forgotten.

MGO is only fun if you have people you trust.

Honestly I'd love to have something like a weekly match against US GAF, but Konami really dropped the ball there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway stop asking for beta keys you guys are being rude, since they've already said they're out of keys.
Also it looks like it's definitive that we don't have to expect a co-op or split-screen mode down the line, for now.

 

[punkypine]

I'm not certain if I'm supposed to talk about it, but the Killzone 2 Beta is serious fucking business. Guerilla Games has mastered the hardware, and their uncanny grip on first-person perspective is still unparalleled, so that... Okay, yeah, I just looked. The beta agreement says not to talk about it.

Um, I take it all back.

Just want to say, you're a beast at this game! I checked my stats for the beta so far and my k/d ratio sucks. You've got some skills at this game. I haven't played in a bit cause the game just kept freezing on me. I'm gonna try again tonight...

I've been itching for a KZ wallpaper.

Damn, you bring up an excellent point I failed to mention in my original post (there are sooooo many horrible things to cover).

The lock on. It's soooo cheap. It's actually one of the dumbest things about the game.

 

[kenta]

Getting pretty irritated by the stats bug, but mostly because nobody at GG has said anything about it on the beta forums.* Are the stats down for the rest of the beta? Are we all locked to our current progress? Is it a bug that's known and being worked on? What's the deal here?

(*) As far as I can see. The forums are so freaking slow and horrible to use it's not very easy to see all the updates they give unless they sticky a new thread about it

 

[test_account]

Not to go too much off-topic, but i just wonder what do you mean with these things? I am located in Europe and i play MGO, but mostly the Survival modes these days, and i cant remember to have seen anything special that is rotten in parts of the MGO community? I'm not really that active within the MGO community though, but lately i have been playing with some of the same people What is team stacking?

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

And one last obligatory jab at COD4:

Shipment is, without a doubt, the single worst Map/Level in any game ever, regardless of genre. I can imagine many sleepless nights at IW trying to come up with that brilliant design.

No, the map is dumb fun

I guess that's my problem with COD4. I have a brain.

Hell yeah. I went 64-15 once in a HQ match once... :lol

<3 the Helicopter on that map.

That map is fun, to just relax for some pointless killing. Nice to play knife only with your clan to practice on the knifing skills (if 'skills' are actually needed).
