OMG... I ganked a sniper rifle from someone. Seriously, the fine aiming with tilt is unbelievable! I love it so much, I think it's my favorite usage of motion control/tilt a PS3 game has had to date. It's so incredible. I was smoking, smoking fools with it at 2x. I gotta get some crazy xp to unlock that gun. What is it at? The 2800xp point?

Woo, General.
Saboteur is a fucking blast. Hearing people freak out when you perfectly coalesce into a group of the enemy, and proceed to tear them all away is awesome.
I started out adoring the single shot, but by the end of that level I was all SMG.
And then I realize it's 5AM. Can't wait to get back to it tomorrow.
*sips the Kool Aid*
I really hope Guerilla gets to the issues. Namely playing with friends. We've been resorting to organizing them via messengers. It's pretty fucking shitty. :\

Woot!
I was able to pick up a copy.
I was down in Akihabara today to get some headphones and I found a store selling the Euro (UK?) version for 5,500 Yen (around 56 USD) so I grabbed it without hesitation. I can't wait to try it later tonight.

Easy there Mik... some people are playing the game for their first time so there's bound to be a lot of confusion.Mik2121 said:
I feel like a complete moron on the new maps (vs. the beta maps) because I don't know the layout on them at all. Good god the Visari's Hammer one just kills me. It's so vertical.

on that story note:
they killed templar, I'm assuming the tech woman (elena?), garza and of course visari
so I'd say the story writers aren't afraid of a little blood shed
I chuckled when radec shot himself in the head.
that said, I'm playing now to find INTEL and helghast symbols and no, I don't find this fun at all. Might get a faq to do this. I'm glad I couldn't be bother hunting for it during the actual game because its a pain in the ass to spin round and round in those environments.
all i have to say is, the servers sucked, lag in every goddam region. I thought it was my connection, then i popped in COD4, SF4 and SC4, at least i can get 3 to 4 bar games, playing KZ2 online is frustrating, i really hope they'll put in a connectivity bar in future updates. Seriously, i had to play the game kamikaze style, once i got assault, all i did was boost up to people's face and blow them up, killing me in the process.
I'm actually a tiny bit confused on badges myself. I didn't follow the whole system pre launch much, and assumed it was like Final Fantasy 5. You level up a secondary ability enough and you can use that ability on any other job. But I leveled up my Engineer all the way and instead of being able to equip the repair badge on another class, HE can equip some other secondary skills.
I dunno, I didn't mess around much, heat of the moment, 5 AM. That's what tomorrow's for.

Funny enough, the servers work flawlessly for me, even though I'm in Japan and playing with Americans and Europeans.. uhmm..hteng said:
Btw I just finished the "GAF TIME TO DIE" and damn it was fun!. But the match settings are a bit too long imo. 12 (15?) minutes for each thing seems like a lot to me. I'd rather have it being 5 minutes each mission..

Haven't had a single problem with lag. That sucks man
Only thing that's bothered me is getting disconnected. Hasn't happened a whole lot but I have seen it brought up before so I know I'm not alone.
Just unlocked Engineer. Can't believe some people already have the sniper rifle unlocked.

:O
I didn't get to play in any GAF rooms, I got home too late from my GF's work party, but GODDAMN multi player on this is pretty much the best thing EVER!
I don't see this game leaving my PS3 for a looooooooong time. I didn't even play SP tonight just straight up MP madness. Man TTP, PH, and Pressador got some pretty nice stats going on. I suck, but I'll be damned if I'm not having a great time

Can you up the kill max? To get the badge you'd need to have 50% of the kills on your team!Seraph- said:Got a room up called"HG BodyCount" seems like it could be fun, it's hand guns only(so it'd be easy to unlock the revolver) with round based body count @ 7 mins / 20 kills . . . psn is Seraph- add me if you want to be able to find game easier.
Some general MP tips just in case you didn't know them yet:
* Create or Join Squads - Allows you to spawn where your squad leader is. Use the d-pad at the respawn screen to select your squad leader and spawn at his location.
* You can also spawn at spawnpoints thrown by Tacticians as well as in areas you control during the capture mode.
* When switching between spawnpoints make sure you pay attention to the camera view! It shows you what's going on at that spawnpoint. If it's being overrun by the enemy, don't spawn there; choose another location. Unless you like being shot in the back with a shotgun.
* When you're the Assassination Target and you get "killed", don't hit respawn. Wait for a medic to revive you; and even if there's no medic around, the enemy still has to give you a final blow, so stay put and allow your team to defend you. There are many times where I got shot as the target but still survived the mission because the enemy didn't manage to finish me off.
* And obviously, when you're hunting the Assassination Target, don't forget to give the killing blow.
* An enemy controlled machineguns or ammoboxes light up red. Destroy it so that they can't use it anymore, and your own engineers can take it over.

Whoa, he's the full hot orator.
Sean: There are ~300k people on the leaderboards at Killzone.com now.
:lol @ my previous miscount of 700k that was graciously corrected by TTP.

I think they worked better in the beta, where the spawn invincibility was still nowhere to be found. I wish they would've kept it that way for the deployable spawn points. Before, it was important to deploy it in the right place, because it could just end up being camped otherwise. Now with the temporary invincibility in place, I'm seeing more haphazard deployments.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that the spawn grenades are a bit too powerful. They certainly mess up the game, especially in search & destroy.Rapping Granny said:
A solution would be to have an area around the objective/main-spawn where the spawns won't activate.
Or just make the objective placements better, 80% of the maps have the objectives placed side-by-side (meaning that just one nade will be enough to stall the game), I think it's Visari Hammer that has them spread out, spawn nading doesn't works as well on that map.
Wait, what? D:postaboy said:

Are the analog stick delay, dead zone and lack of aiming precision/pixel accuracy something you learn to live with and ignore? It completely ruined the game for me. I played through once (on normal) of course, but I don't think I ever want to touch the game again because of it. Probably the worst controls I've ever experienced in a console FPS.

Other people seem quite adapt with it, go online and see how quickly you'll be headshotted from across the map.boyshine said:

God yeah. I still don't know what to do on Visari Hammer and Helghan Industries. Can't get my bearings on Helghan Industries at all... doesn't help that I have a god awful sense of direction.
