KILLZONE 2 - The |OT|

Hmmm... about the stats padding with bots issues.
I think the easiest way to fix it is to just have stats not recording in games with bots in it. They already have this system in place. When you play alone with bots, a message appears notifying you are not getting any xp. Just make it so that instead of checking whether there is one or more players, the system checks whether there is one or more bots. Fixed.

lol, it's been a fucking blast playing some of the GAFFers in MP 
([GAFw]reeducator here).
This game is officially the best MP game I've ever played. There's just so much too it, and it keeps evolving
Since the fucking goddamn servers went down I was forced to play SP for a bit; it's more awesome than I can explain but... MP is where it's at :O

It's really satisfying how aggressive the enemies are in that section. They know they have superior numbers, so they push all around the section and bottle you in. If you don't deal with it quickly you're looking at constant buddy revivals and death.
I fucking loved Visari square. Such a brilliant battle.

Okay, my only recommendation here is to realize that it plays the exact same for everyone else, and everyone else takes a long time getting use to the controls. Nudge the stick, don't tug it. Zoom in only if they're standing still and you know you can make the shot (some people who've had a LOT of time in MP can disregard this). When you can't make the shot with your aim, try strafing and shooting; sometimes all you need to get the shot is to realign your body (thus making you harder to hit) instead of your aim!
There's a LOT to the combat in this game, and that's why I'm loving it. Most of all, don't get discouraged. It takes a while to get used to things :} KILLZONE 2 is NOT a run-and-gun shooter. You can't play it like you played Quake 3 ;}
Had the same problem myself. I just stuck with the default controls but eventually, after playing four levels (horridly) in SP, they finally clicked in with me.Victrix said:
A bit annoying though because I didn't find KZ2 particularly enjoyable until now due to my awful aiming.

I didn't think veteran was too tough til I got to visari square. jesus christ. I can't imagine playing this on elite. I probably won't. I started playing on Veteran too because having playing the demo + standard game at the sydney show, it was too easy.

I am now here. And this bit is kicking my ass... again and again and again... and again. Offffghhhhhh.... I managed to clear wave 1, wave 2 (where they sneak up to the balcony) and then the rocket people come in and game over. so damn tough.

is this where the statue is?
Always-honest said:
... um I don't recall the
statue. Its got chandeliers and radec's sends out waves of helghast to wipe out sev+rico. You can run up either side to the 2nd floor balcony and you can get a grenade gun/sniper rifle and kill 2 flamethrower helghasts
so tough. i think I'm pretty good at FPSes but right now, this thing is schooling me big time.

The deadzone on the ps3 controller is less than on the 360 controller. I guess you are normally only playing 360? In that case it's just normal that you are not used to the controller. I'm switiching a lot between 360 and PS3 and it always takes me some time (f.e. if I play with the 360 one I always think that the sticks are waaaay to stiff, after I got used to it I think ps3 is to loose and so on...). This combined with the fact that the aiming has some accleration to it (so it's intended that it feels a bit sloppy just to slow you down and that you have a more realistisc gun handling) is responsible for your feeling, I guess.

I played a pretty solid round last night for my first ever round, got 1 point away from promotion and some other ribbons. However, after leaving the match, all my stats had disappeared. This morning I wanted to check my stats to see if they have finally registered and I can't log on.
Is it normal for stats to take some time to register?

Well, I played about 9 hours ago and after the match, I couldn't find my stats anywhere. Grrrrrr. I went something like 29K:16D and received 29 out of 30 EXP points. Grrrrr.TTP said:

Shit, I thought I was more like half way through, I've been playing probably only 4 hours. Is there any reason the statistics screen doesn't match up with what you're saying? I assume it must calculate all the trophies and stuff towards the completion percentage or something.

Yeah, it does. My completion percentage was under 50%, IIRC; my play time was around 5 h 20m.Sean said:
The controls are starting to bug me. No matter what I do with the sliders, it still feels like a dead zone when I am in zoom mode and need to make small adjustments / movements. I am normally Annie Oakley with FPS, but I seem to be shooting a lot of air in this. And it has nothing to do with the gun recoil.

Fire whatever jackass that made these controls. I'm not even gonna be able to flick off the killzone devs after trying to hold down r2 for more than 2 seconds.
Seriously tho, whats with the 20 control schemes if there is something wrong with each one? I can't even do toggle crouch
FIX THIS SHIT GUERILLA.

Love it so far. Absolutely love it. But I'm not that far in...
The only negative that I've noticed so far is the reload animations taking up pixel real estate. I just noticed it and found it a little annoying; despite the actual animations being slick as hell and consistent with the immersive feel to the whole experience.

damn them rocket men damn them to hell
Well, the game is ok,
though I did have an issue with one of the scripted events...
(And yes, I did patch the game)
It was in one of the "Eliminate All Enemies" scenarios,
the game stopped sending out baddies,
and I was stuck in the area for about 10 minutes looking around so i could finish it...
Unfortunately, the script failed.
So I had to kill myself and do it over, the next time, after killing off a few enemies,
enemies busted through a door that didn't open before. :/
(I had to go through the door the enemies opened to proceed)
Anyways, I just
,
and so far the game feels like a run of the mill scripted FPS, though nice looking.
Hopefully it gets a lot better.
Still haven't played online though, was unable to "populate the universe"
or whatever it says when trying to connect.
Kept getting errors, I guess the servers are getting hammered.
Hopefully I can play online tomorrow...

toggle crouch is possible in MP.

On the third mission.
Visuals are pretty much the best this generation.
Gameplay is nice.

Is there any way to counter those spawn grenades (except for throwing another spawn grenade. )? They turn search & destroy missions into complete spamfests.

WTF at Garza's death. Guerilla aren't great at conjuring up sympathy. I didn't really think anything of his death besides, "Didn't he just get shot in the arm?" Oh well... At least the story is getting a bit more interesting.

Yeah the lack of toggle crouch is friggen stupid. I can't believe there is a toggle for zoom but not crouch. Had to take breaks throughout the game cause my hands were killing me.

Fuuuck. The Single Player game sucked me in bigtime. I had to stop playing at 4:10am. The last game to do this to me was Metal Gear Solid 4. Holy crap my eyes ache from the awesome.
I've been playing on Veteran and man, is it frickin' intense! I stopped at the bridge level so I could catch up on this thread and then go to bed.

Probably Blood Gracht.. but that is only from my Beta experience. I haven't seen all the final MP maps yet.ilanna said:

Nah, there's a dead zone
If you very gently nudge the stick, nothing happens, then you push a liiiiitle bit more and you jerk off target. It's really uncomfortable. Lower sens just means that when you do move you can barely turn, high sens is the opposite problem. Neither situation makes for comfortable aiming.furrygiblets

OMFG that ATAC fight is seriously one of the best boss fights
