KILLZONE 2 - The |OT|

God, the last section of the game (
) was absolutely retarded on hard. I died more times than I could count, and finally just gave up and put it on normal. The difference is huge between the two difficulty levels btw, I beat it on my first try on normal.

Check your game stats. I don't think you are halfway. May be 25%-30%. I'm at exact same point and tried to kill them using cover and with strategy couple of times before I quit. There is one more encounter before that where they keep spawning until you charge in and clear the building.Ricker said:
As someone said, best way to finish it is keep moving forward.

No worries ...it was my fault as I just thought you were going to be talking about a part earlier in the game, so I thought I would be okay as I just finished
the part where Jan dies
Oh well ....I figured it was gonna happen

At the moment I don't have x5 scope or the spot and mark ability so I have to be fairly close to the action to get the best results. And I'm more of an attacking sniper, I find camping in one spot and just waiting incredibly boring so I usually run around and try to get near a group of people, cloak, and people are usually concentrating on the guys around them to pay attention to where I'm sniping from. On a less hectic match I'd have to be way more cautious and try to keep as far away from people. Up close the sniper will nearly always lose unless I can quickly fire off a shot, or whip out my revolver. And I'll be even more effective when I unlock the improved scope and secondary ability.
I think I sniped GqueB about 10 times in one match today. He wasn't pleased... I was

It's 5 cloaked kills x8 for the secondary ability. 10 sniper kills is for the upgraded scope.
I completed the game a few hours ago. Felt great, but really really short. Took me 6hr 30mins to complete on Normal. I'll definitely replay it on Veteran but I selected Normal originally because I was getting my ass kicked on Veteran when I couldn't aim for shit. Probably could do better now since I'm used to the gameplay.
Garza dead? Visari Dead? :[ DAMN YOU RICO!

I generally disliked the characters in KZ2, especially when compared to KZ1 where you had Haka and Rico at each other's throats and the tension between Templar and Luger. In KZ2 there was nothing really comparable. I can see Sev
possibly evolving into the weary veteran archetype in KZ3, whether or not he'd be playable is another question.
alba said:
KZ3 will probably entail
a small Helghast Civil War or have varying "clans" vying for supremacy before someone unifies them for a singular goal or something. It's clear from the beating their forces took on Helghan that ISA are in as much turmoil as the Helghast are. And the Helghast still have nukes, don't they?
Another possible outcome is that - with Sev becoming the weary veteran archetype - Rico becomes the "disturbed by war" archetype and goes rogue, possibly becoming a potential villain in KZ3.

Ahh that's why you are so close, but still I saw you racking up kills because people weren't paying close enough attention. I remember killing you once I was so happy that I could use the sniper rifle. I picked it up and immediately died :lol still haven't used the sniper.
I liked Garza. Didn't like Rico particularly.industrian said:
The fact that he killed Garza and Visari is one of the reasons
I agree that the KZ1 story was better (then again, was there even a story in KZ2?) The cutscenes were great and the characters were far more likable. I preferred Rico in KZ1 than in KZ2.

This is a problem indeed. They also can't have the speaker randomly spawn because it could easily cause imbalance, since it would put way more emphasis on luck than there should be.
raYne said:
The thing I've noticed is that the infinite spawns are about 20x more noticeable if you play the game on veteran or elite as oppose to the normal difficulty, since it takes a lot more to bring the Helghast down. The bridge section is one of the most obvious examples of it. There's one point where if you don't move forward just a few inches and cross the invisible line, prompting one of your guys to say something like "they're raising the bridge", they come out forever. Still, as I felt earlier, the Helghast are way more fun to fight than CoD4's enemies and even as they infinitely spawn they still act independently.
Multiplayer is really a mixed bag right now. No one knows what they're doing and only one of the maps is actually suited to 32 players. Jebus, they really could have just included some relatively nice maps from a Vektan environment, I'm so sick of playing these unendingly dreary and depressing landscapes with people who don't even understand that you can spawn on your squad leader.

Yeah I think I got about 50 sniper kills in that Saluman Market game, but that was mostly because it was soooooo long.
Tho when I joined a few rounds had already been completed. Sniping is a lot harder now than in the Beta, requires a lot more skill. In the Beta it was easy as anything with the auto aim. I really want to get 5x scope and Spot & Mark and get practicing, I definitely need it.
Had some good games with several euro-GAFers, and I'm slowly becoming a bit better (hopefully the others feel I can stand my ground somewhat ;D). Game is fun online, although the clusterfuck-points and occasional bump-into-enemy-around-the-corner stuff makes my blood boil (poor gamepad, I'm almost breaking you in half).
Things are really going overboard in the official boards, I think GG is really annoyed at this point, especially seb.
Seriously, this GIF can't be right. Never. If the lag would be THIS high anyone would notice it. Seems strange to me. Some sort of trick? TV problem?

yeah, i have to estimate how they're moving now instead of mouse twitch like stuff, although i'm sure some people are good at that. 5x Scope is godly on Helghast Industries and Pyrrus

This one is bullshit. There's a website (gamesradar?) that tested the input lag, and KZ2 had exactly the same than Halo, GTAIV and whatever.

I managed to avoid all that jazz. It's a valid tactic, even if it goes against the "point" of the game.

I havn't been playing online too much, although I have racked up 20 hours
I'll play more TIME TO DIE games this week hopefully. Been trying to unlock stuff mostly. I want to try out some hybrid classes! -viper- said:
Yeah, it definitely crops up in the last level a lot since it's the enemies' last stand, and there are a lot more of them than usual off the bat.
The biggest problem with CoD4's infinite respawning to me wasn't just that enemies kept pouring in, but that combined with them not being especially fun to fight to begin with. CoD4's A.I. is leagues behind Killzone 2's, not to mention the hit-detection system, so shooting at and fighting with Helghast enemies in general is a lot more fun.
However, that also causes another issue, which is that it generally takes a lot more to take your typical Helghan down than a CoD4 soldier, so that can exacerbate the infinite respawn issue.
And now the media picks it up...

Ah whatever, whoever is right, maybe in the end a patch comes out and everyone is satisfied... :-/

Im trying to figure out which one to stick with. I only have the medic and engineer. Once I unlock all of the badges I can better gauge which one is best for me. I like the medic so far, but I don't have the health packs yet.

FF with 32 players on that shitty map Tharsis Depot is truly a lowpoint in my MP career so far. Ended in first place on the team, got the assassination target at the last possible moment to make the game 3-3, yet it was such a shitty experience after we defended the demo point.
It just turned into a nade/turret/rocket launcher bukkake.
I feel they could have done more with the gametypes. They feel so static and ultimately crap.

This topic is fairly idiotic. Anybody with an axe to grind can make a video showing the latency to be whatever they like it to be. For example, either buffering the display or using a 2nd (offscreen) controller to actually pull the trigger.
First hand experience shows the latency is entirely adequate for me, and I'm not sure a random idiot with a camcorder will be able to convince me otherwise.
