Weird, I don't think the turrets need nearly as much help as that. I've been playing mostly Engineer, and on average I'd say my turrets are 20-25 pts per match. That is a solid contribution. I think they could stand to be more durable, but I certainly do not want to see TF2 style turrets in this game either.

They also definitely get headshots, but like I mentioned a few pages back you need to give them a height advantage to see it regularly. Level turrets are not going to get headshots unless the target is crouching. The turrets themselves have a pretty long range so finding elevated platforms for them isn't generally too hard.


WTF kind of super turrets are you deploying. MY turrets never ever get anywhere near even 10 points :(

Iron sight has some aim assist on, apparently GG forgot to turn it off for the shotgun. When you try to use iron sight with the shotgun it turns on the flashlight and the iron sight aim assist even though the shotgun doesn't have iron sight.

that on the train level, when rico tells you to get on the turret, if you don't and just proceed to go forward you'll get way less helghasts and on the next section with the tank you have to blow up just run back, get on that same turret and wait for them to show up and kick their ass, sooo easy :p

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.

So my stats (both campaign and warzone) arent uploading to killzone.com. I assume the servers are destroyed with all the people trying to get on.

:O is that why I was kicking so much ass at the market, I was just cruising around in that level killing people and let FullRecovery do the work.

Oh no, not quite. It also makes the gun literally lock on to whoever is in front of it. Once locked on, the person can run circles around you, but the lock on with still stay.

dang ok, i will try it out, coming from COD4, i never use iron sight with the shotgun so i didn't notice.

on another note, does anyone think there's too few weapons? or weapon types are not balanced? i mean there's 3 rifles, 1 sub-mg, 2 LMG, 1 Rocket launcher, 1 Grenade Launcher, 1 shotgun, 1 pretty useless RPG (only locks onto machines D;).

there should be another SMG and Shotgun

I saw Tournament Entered message before the end of my last game, I forgot to check it out. What was it? GAF2 here.

Tomorrow evening's GAF battle I believe. GAF time to die! was the title.

Hell yeah, GAF east is registered. See you on the battlefield tomorrow at 5:00pm CST!

EDIT: Why are my KZ.com stats busted?
KZ.com is down for all intents and purposes. The site/game servers (they're tied) can't handle the load so they've taken down the stat & clan pages and are separating the site from the game servers soon.

Ok cool, also on Blood Gracht, PLEASE DON'T JUST STAND THERE ON THE STAIRS OUT OF THE SPAWN...

If you JUST recently got the game and the patch server wont work, simply press CANCEL (Circle) when the 1.11 patch message appears. It will go away and you can play the campaign until you figure out the issue.

Anyway, just got back from my friend's house. Put the game in his system, installed update, ran through the campaign up until second level and then handed it over. He and his dad are now both getting a copy (they have a PS3 in each of their rooms). :lol

LOL I did that the first time I played.

Um. Aerial support. How do you use it? I just got it. Tried. You toss some thing down. Then what?
You toss the air support locator in an open area and a couple of seconds later a sentry bot appears. Make sure its an open area with sky otherwise the request will be canceled.

It's all about placement my friend. Give them an area to overlook where the initial lock on point for them will be well below them but not at a long range. They will pop heads.

Gentleman I just figured out why I could create bots and it has shown me that Sony or GG does not give a flying fucking about the Asian Region.

I have no 1.11 patch I can create bots and I can still join any server. This is utter fail, all regions should get patched together!

Fucking FAIL!

Ah, good stuff. Guess I'll use them on certain maps.

Throw the beacon down with open sky and watch as your completely ineffectual bot flies in and gets blown to bits.

there's no games in asian region, it's pretty fail, i didn't get any patch either and online games are pretty lagging even for my local matches D;

Different regions have different rules about certification. This might just be a case of the patch still going through certification over at the Asia office.

take out those sentry turrets would be your first priority, your a tactician man, use some tactics!

I put my region to Australia, you can look us up. PSN: Bigsword. If you have a mic that would be a great bonus.

No to the other gaffer no look I dont care what certification is going on here, but multiplayer games should be patched at all the same time. For EA games the patches were all at the same time.

You will probably be whining if the shotgun got patched but Asian Region have the autolocked on version of it.

This is unfair yes?

While turrets definitely take these things out a lot, even players can wreck them very quickly. I honestly have never seen a player die from an air support bot except in the cases where the player kills it too close and dies from the explosion. They seem pretty terrible.

It's the way the system works, each region is autonomous and each region must certify PSN content for its region. I agree it sucks, but its nothing new.

Have a fun! Enjoy!

I never downloaded a patch though. Asian version here....this is strange. But I can still use online bots.


ah, that explains it. I was just reading a poster on the official forum complaining about the lack of update for the Asian version.

stuck my tongue deep inside Atlus' cookies
Just played a multiplayer set where both teams, round after round, placed a spawn inside of the same tiny room:lol

The match was CHAOS. Both teams just ignored the objectives and fragged the whole time.

At one point I tossed a random grenade and got four kills. Probably all off of enemies that had just materialized.

It's not something I would want to experience all the time, but up till now Killzone had been a slower, more deliberately-paced multiplayer experience, for me. So it was nice to experience something that was "OMFG CRAZY" for a change. I netted like ~80 points from it too, which is a lot for me, as I still only have the first soldier class.

Damn, the most I've managed to get it 2-3 kills per match. I guess a lot of it has to do with how you use them, but I still think GG needs to incorporate one of those suggestions (obviously not all, I don't want them to be overpowered either).

Fuck this sucks, how can we have a level playing field in multiplayer? Even EA BFBC had the patched all released on the same day.

This is insane, a single player I will whine and shit, but multiplayer is unacceptable. When balance issues are fixed for EU / US and Asia is not, it's going to be unbalanced.

UGH Sony is so fucking stupid at times!!

You mean in the GG forums? I posted there as well. Damn this can lead the game to be unbalanced.

Well, I do agree that they are not nearly durable enough. I also feel they need to auto-target the first player that directly hits them with a projectile if the player is within range, which they don't seem to do properly.

They deal decent damage and are capable of OH kills though, so I think their firepower is probably close to where it should be. Accuracy does seem a little low (I mean it is mechanized why does it spread more than an AR) but that is more of an issue at medium to long range for their targeting.

I also kind of hate how the turret allotment is shared across the faction - I understand why it is done, but since your own team can kill your turrets, I've seen some stupid players shotgun one of mine down (that was in a good position) and toss one of their own up somewhere retarded where it immediately gets blown to bits by frags.

Seriously, if you are an Engineer - STOP putting your damn turrets right next to S&D targets!

lol this same exact issue happened on the Armored Core 4 game, JP ver had v1.6 for like 6 months, US ver was stuck at v1.3, that said, you can still join a v1.6 game but your stats will be v1.3, which really fucked up the game, you can have two exact AC builds but one would have more Armored Points (AP) than the other.

Its something you'll have to deal with, it'll come in time, just not sure when.

Damn how can we as consumer just "deal" with this, I'm not blasting at you. But again this is shit. This can be fixed by the devs. EA can do it for BFBC, Insomanic can do this for R2, GG should do this as well this is a 2nd party dev, a high profile game that should get all the support it needs.

I payed a said amount of money I should deserve the same amount of service that other paying customers have as well.

I have calmed down somewhat, someone on the GG forums said that the Region 3 patch has been just released. About 7 days time difference, well better then nothing.
