If you are in a squad, it's open mic and your squad-mates can always hear you.
No matter what, the rest of your team can only hear you when you are in a close proximity to each other.
There is NO push-to-talk
I really like what they did for voice-comms in KZ2. I do hope, however, that they add a server setting for open comms for all (it may already be there, as I haven't dug that far in ever)

:/ tinfoil hat time:
Still calling GS's to find a midnight launch. Two different BIG stores have now told me they were doing one but cancelled it this week. Two more stores I've called have told me they have a list of the ones doing it, then totally abandoned me on hold for 15 minutes, and I can't get an answer when I call back. WTH?
Edit: so Finally, I hear that the ONLY store anywhere near me doing one is store 2820.
I look up store 2820 after I hang up....It's in California
I think Sony is made I bitched about the game for a month and they out to get me lol
Seriously, they cancelled Midnight launch AFTER the pre0orders went up, but they are doing one for RE5...fuck

I've played the single player campaign for about two hours now, it hasn't grabbed me as anything special yet. I'm playing on medium and the gun fights feel a bit boring. Oh well, I guess this is all about the online mode, I just wish I could join a game, I'm getting a network error code 20007 all the time...

Seems that way...Xater said:
Whelp, time for some Singleplayer.
Gamestop is always really bad about midnight releases, especially when they add them last minute. It's because they're only allowed to do a couple per year per store. The only one I've actually been to was the one for SSBB.BobTheFork said:

Servers are down so they can fix the scrolling issue (server side fix).
Killzone 2's online debut has been a surprising success today. Servers during beta were unstable and Killzone.com seemed to be having problems just this Monday but everything today (minus scrolling) has been operating flawlessly. *thumbs up*

So what's everyone's initial impressions, gameplay wise? You likey?
Pizza Luigi said:
No, just push up on the dpad and follow the arrows. It's quite an atmosphere breaker to see 5 guys just sitting still in cover doing nothing and reacting to nothing when there's supposed to be a full blown war going on, the bullets are whizzing and the missiles banging but the guys just sit lifeless unless you move forward to where the next action trigger is...I've found I enjoy the game most if I just run and gun, this way I can somehow keep the atmosphere from breaking.

Gotta love the Power of Gaf. Thanks for the heads up. Nice to know someone from GG took the time to give us a little server update.

I am on the last battle on the last level of the game, and I have not seen, witnessed, or experienced such a bug. Maybe it is more of a glitch if you get yourself into a weird situation.
Can you give more details on exactly which part? Maybe he has not completed an objective, thus he cannot move on?

Welp, found it. The only store that didn't cancel their Midnight launch is in Grand Junction....
237 miles away. I would really just rather not give GS my business on this, but I don't think any other store will even have it on Friday. BB and wally Mart here do NOT care about game releases.

I haven't played the SP that much only got to 14%, the MP is like the beta but a lot more maps. MP is also a lot more polished with the cool spawning effect.I do get the feeling that its easier to get headshots, at least easier then the beta.
I really like it so far and I hope they can ad more features. I hope this game will be a succes like Halo.

I didn't even notice the "Usually ships in 1 to 2 months", on Amazon, for the Real Triggers, until you guys mentioned it, in this thread. I placed my order, yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it shipped, today! It's nice to have it be Prime-elible, too.
If I'm currently in a game in a squad, and I got four guys about to join my game. How do I form my own squad with the four other guys where we can all hear each other all the time? It's squads of four if I remember.. Is it possible to have a bigger squad or at least communicate with more than 4 ppl at a time (if they're all on your friends list)?Torgo said:

Ceb said:During the opening in the New Sun, some of the flight crew are talking about
An exo suit? Or did I mishear that? They say it's not working, but "maybe it'll work the next time". Killzone 3 foreshadowing?
Play the game, it will make more sense later.

Just wondering Full, will you be able to start a clan by launch. I don't know how long it takes to level upFull Recovery said:
I feel late to the party and the game hasn't officially launched yet!
But I finally got to try the demo. Right off the bat I was liking what I saw, particularly the fact that you can play no crosshairs and no HUD. YESH!!! More games should do this.
The death animations are great, but they are so exagerated that sometimes it looks a bit out of place. Like when a guy is crouching behind cover and you get him in the head. A couple times the guy stands up, wiggles around a lot, and then falls forward over his cover. Bullet must have hit a nerve cluster or something.
The A.I. was also noteworthy. The enemies don't mind moving quite a bit, flanking, getting right behind you. I hope there are lots of open rooms so this comes out often.
Hand Cannon! Not a bad manditory weapon to have if they're going to stick you with one. The knife release is equally sweet.
I'll definately be looking for a copy come Friday.

Xater said:A question for the guys who played the beta: Is the Assault class slower because of the double armor? Because Assault+Turret could be pretty cool because you would not have to rely on the shitty shotgun.
Turret is Engineer's primary ability, only the engineer can use it. The shotgun can also be devastating with practice.
I think I know which part they are referring to. It seemed to me that you had to advance to a certain point in order for the game to continue (follow the waypoint). That part did seem a tad awkward to me, for some reason. The game starts out well enough but it takes some time to really get going. The first 1/3 of the game is solid, but it becomes significantly more exciting and interesting as you progress.

I will be going home and trying it now, If I have to level up first, I will do that, but I will join that badboy tonight. This is what I have been waiting for.
I am on the list, BTW. Peace bro.

From the live chat about how long KZ2 was in development
Not nearly as long as some try to make it out to be.
