Just played my first couple games with Gaffers and it was definitely the best time I've had yet.

I how many people Sony expected to have online.Xater said:So no one likes my remote detonation idea?
And what? The servers are down again? All that downtime makes the interview on the Playstation Nation Podcast so hilarious. I remeber how the guy from Sony promised that they would have no problem handling the traffic at the beginning. Well I guess we are still waiting for that multiplayer game where everything runs smooth from the start. :lol
Just remember where you put them and shoot them with the pistol, that's what I did anyhow, but its a good ideaXater said:So no one likes my remote detonation idea?

I hate the huge maps, it's so pointless and takes so long to do anything. Especially without the scout/assault classes. Fuck this earning class stuff.

Killzone 2 is reminding me a lot about the first one in some ways. That annoying ability the helghast have of hitting you from a mile away, being able to take withstand just a bit too much damage and how they sometimes just manage to run up around you, while your dillhole of an ally is looking at birds or something.

But contrary to my first impressions, the multiplayer is quite entertaining. I'm really starting to like it, especially after I got the medic badge which addedm some more options to the gameplay.
SPOILERS:
The train level. I had to replay one area sooo many times (the area where you gotta blow up a tank). Now, I guess it's easy to blame me being bad at the game or something, but to me the whole gameplay there -- helghast pretty much swarming around you, just running up and spraying from different directions -- while Rico essentially did nothing to help.

Did you read my thing on sprinting?
There is an easy way to keep your sprint meter full and sprint around the map without having to pause to recharge it.
Just hit the jump button before your meter runs out. Then right after you hit jump hit the sprint button. Your meter will fill up while in the air and when you land you will have a full meter and continue sprinting.
I really can't see Killzone 2 working better with a mouse, I really can't. If you ask me, it'll be even worse than playing with the analog.Leatherface said:Anyone have this? If so how does it work well with Killzone 2? I'm considering picking this up before I get my frag on. :rock:
I'll even go as far as saying the game is truly designed around the PS3 controller unlike other FPS that work better on PC, so playing it with a mouse will only make everything much worse if you're bad at the controls.

I've probably killed Wollan twice as many times as any other gaffer. :lol :lol

It is not a hack or anything. Your sprint meter refills anytime your feet leave the ground, so if you run off a ledge (a short one, not one that would damage you) it is refilled.
I have no idea if it is suppose to be like this, so I don't know if GG will fix this.
Seems like, just going off of talk here, Guerilla has a lot of small fixes that they should look at making. They might want to look at MGO for some guidance on how to handle C4, for instance. Especially since Warzone has altering situations, giving it the option to remote detonate is sort of a must.

Those are the standard engineer bots, when they see the flying one they shoot missiles.

standing still for a second is far worse then jumping in the air
especially when you need to catch up to your squad or out run someone.The lose in speed from jumping is less then the loss from standing still. That is if you make sure to hit sprint again after jumping, that way when you hit the ground you are sprinting. What I mean by this is you are actually sprinting, not just gaining momentum like you do when you first start sprinting. It is faster then just pausing.

Get comfortable using your crosshairs to float over the guy and then simultaneously zooming in with your scope to shoot. It allows you to be really accurate and try to get in the habit of
having your crosshair be at head level. If someone kills you really quickly even though your loading them up I guarantee its a headshot.

Man, this is a damn fun game. I'm still a noob, low rank online and coming up to the last boss, so I know there are frustrations to come, but I really like it. I hope they continue to work on it, tweak up some things and give us more content. They really made good on the glimpses they gave with their earlier titles.
It's easy to bitch about a lot of the small things, but on the whole it's a roller coaster ride of intense pleasure online and off. Bravo. I find it so intense compared to games I've been playing I need to take breaks haha.

Getting 5 kills with the flying sentry bots is bullshit. The assault badge also doesn't work.

Tiddles, I can't get the boost ribbon. I've boosted exactly 10 times in one round, and I've boosted more than 10 times in one round and I didn't get it either times. Other people can't get it either and some get it no problem. I think it's buggy. It's very annoying as well seeing as I want to swap boost with other classes. >_<
Sniping is awesome, but a bit difficult as people are swaying around like plastered hobos.
I find a good spot, cloak, pop someone's head off, hide until I get the cloak back. On the larger maps I fear more for other snipers than anything. I just finished a game where I was the only helghast sniper versus 3 isa snipers. They pretty much had me for lunch.

How does the cloak work? Is it timed or do you lose it when you shoot/get shot at like with disguises?John_B said:

I had originally hated campers and being stuck in my spawn. However, there are several routes around maps and ways to get out. I find spending time memorizing maps and their choke points really helpful.
Nothing beats rushing in around the enemy and shottying them in the back of the head

I want to hang it in my bathroom.

I'd also like to see it for turrets though.
I haven't messed around with turrets yet (I haven't unlocked Engineer) but is therea restriction on the amount of active turrets on a map? If I'm reading this right, you want turret to also be 'breakable' on command?
So far so good with Killzone 2 online, I haven't progressed very far, yet, and the game hasn't matured yet on account of most players being low level, but I can see the potential for nice relatively complex scenarios to play out. I've managed to get the gunplay/sensitivity on my end down from 'spastic twitch gameplay' to 'relatively measured and tactical'.
I'm finding that smaller games are generally more fun/tactical. The only online game that has so far been able to provide me with depth to hold my interest is really Metal gear Online (So criminally under rated game on account of the Konami ID and initial control complexity/aiming frustrations) and a little bit of Team Fortress 2. I think Killzone 2 online will be occupying my time for a while before I inevitably get back into MGO in a month+. I might end up cycling between the two if Killzone 2 online end up being really good.

I'm playing on trooper difficulty. 20% progress after 3 hr. 48 mins. Lots of bullets wasted.

What I hate more than campers are dumb team mates.

Don't worry about it. Everyone sucks when they first start out. For example, the first game I played online I had 20 deaths and 1 kill.

It's only perfect when you're still. When you move it fades away and you can be seen. Other than that, it lasts forever, until you hit someone. I don't think getting hit ends it.
I'm having a few issues with sniping. Only tried it twice, but from really far away (the mountain /right side on the desert map from the HG base, overlooking the ISA base) it doesn't seem to hit, or it's simply not pinpoint accurate. Or I missed, a lot. Quite possible. :lol

Wait till you get tactician. Drop a spawn point flanking them, then watch the entire team steam roll them from behind. You really can't underestimate the power of the tactician.
