It's much more apparent with the shotty though, since the reticle is so huge and you don't go into the narrow zoomed FOV. If you're running down a hallway with a bunch of enemies lined up it'll snap from side to side as you take them down.TTP said:

Well, I finally finished my first PS3 game (I bought it as a bluray player).
I don't know if there is a time counter in the game but I've found it short, more or less like gears of war but unlike in gears, in Killzone I've died a lot of times and that makes me think that it is indeed quite short. Does anybody have the same impression?
And after you leave the graphics behind, it's nothing more than a good corridor shoter, full of FPS cliches and with almost no history. That's what I found more disappointing. That and the controls, maybe its because its my FPS on the PS3 but I found them much worse (in my opinion) than something like gears or call of duty. I thought that i would get them after some time but in the end i still found impossible to do a precision shot without trial and error.
Well, at least it's a big improvement over the first killzone, so maybe on the third one they will get everything right!

Search and Destroy, 32 player match, each team with a spawn point at the objective = complete clusterfuck.

It was different in the beta. Every turret ignored disguised enemies, even those in the HQ, allowing the saboteur to be a pain in the ass in your home base, especially in Redec map since there is an underground tunnel connecting the two bases.

So far from what I've played of SP, I'd agree.
I just went through Resistance 2 SP in one sitting though (just the night before I traded it in for KZ2), so maybe I'm being biased by that.
To call any other opinion a troll is bullshit this forum doesn't need.
Ilparazzo said:Indeed that was I, that was a good scout face-off, though I had an unfair advantage with spot and mark and 5x scope
Dude you had me swearing like a sailor. I was wondering how you knew where I was although I was cloaked and then it dawned on me that you were using the spoting tool. :lol

Ugh I have this fear GG will change the controls for the next game due to all the complainers.
Don't pull a Resistance and change too much GG
Still for every person who dislikes the controls I think there are many who enjoy them, so hopefully GG knows that just because it seems like a lot of complaints its not much in the big scope of things.

I'm just going to spend some time playing through the first few levels on easy to get used to the controls and try adjusting them to my tastes. I had very little difficulty playing through Resistance, but that was really the first console FPS I had no trouble playing. I also had little trouble playing through COD4, but I will admit I'm having some frustrating difficulty aiming in this game.
I play so few FPS games though - particularly on consoles, that I'm less willing to blame the game and more willing to just learn through it.

I'm getting my ass handed to me KZ2 (granted it has been several months since I played any games) and I've died quite a few times in SP...I went online and got destroyed even more. I played several matches and didn't even get any points until my 5th match or so online. At that rate it's going to take me forever to unlock anything.

So what do all of the icons on the score screen mean? The only ones I know are deaths/kills
Proximity chat, so yeah they can. Nothing like taking out the Propaganda carrier near to the drop zone, or spraying/shotgunning a bunch of guys when they least expect it and hearing the reactions. "Fuck!". "Holy shit". "Are you fucking kidding me?!" etc.Revolutionary said:Same.

I hated hearing the enemy team at first, but now, Oh I love it so...

I think one is for penalty points for team kills and suicides and 1 is for team points for objectives.
For those still struggling with the controls in MP, are you:
a.) shooting from the hip
b.) crouching
c.) using burst fire
d.) aiming for the head
e.) using both sticks to 'guide' your aim and make it more precise?
*I will admit that I don't find the controls perfect, but I am finding that the longer I play, the less I think about them and start to 'adapt' to them.
I did pop in Halo 3 last night just to get a feel for how that game aims and I was so goddamn accurate it was ridiculous - night and day approach to aiming for both games.
BTW: anyone up for playing some games. Was going to fire the game up in a few minutes, maybe create a room. GAF Beamber EAST ...... ????

Not sure if those are the official names for them but that's what they represent.

Ah, good thanks for the answer (and you too Felix Lighter). I wish they'd put that kind of stuff in the manual. I always get turned off when I'm playing a game and I see tons of icons that have no indication of what they mean.
finished the game yesterday on Veteran. Took me 7Hrs +. I pretty much just ran through it though...I found only a few intel and like 3 symbols...I really didnt go looking for them.
Awesome game!!
And I loved the
So satisfied when I finally killed him. That whole level was so fucking intense...I died a lot but it wasnt COD 4 frustrating....it was the fucking AI that would pull some crazy shit, fucking best AI in a FPS ever!!!
Awesome game!!
And I loved the
the end fight with Radek, took me 16 minutes to off that bitch

I love the sniper rifle in this game.
I've found myself purposely using the motion controls ("keep the controller still to steady your aim") to help w/ my aiming - it really helps in leading shots.

Well, once you get it from the battlefield, you are pretty much invincible.
Armour + Boost + M82 = Angel of Death.
Anyways, I'm loving the Tactician with the Spot & Mark ability borrowed from the Scout. You can see how the whole team improves once you have cleverly deployed spawn grenades and marked enemies.

Is there a GAF game going right now? I'd like to finally hop into multiplay
