So I just got the weirdest "antilag" ever.
This one guy, can't remember his name, took a full clip from my SMG and didn't die. He was still moving, so it wasn't one of those disconnect errors. About 20 seconds later I get the kill. Weird, I thought.
Now the next occurrence. I had stolen a LMG of some soldier guy with my Saboteur. I met the same guy in a hallway, unloaded on him (me and another guy), he killed me (while I cried out: "bullshit!"). In the death-cam I saw him going along with his life, throwing nades and whatnot, getting a few extra kills. I respawned six seconds later, ran up the stairs in the Radec Academy ISA spawn, threw a grenade, got a kill, and THEN my LMG kill on the lagger showed up.
I should add that it happened on some Spanish server with children constantly crying in the background. That guy was the only one with really noticeable lag though.

you cant unfeel it, and youll see by your points - yesterday i had 10 points avarage, now i have 20 plus some ribbons - because if you stop and go into ironsight you can adjust the dot a lot better then before => you actually can hit a moving target from far away => yay
or you see someone on the other side of the map and you go into ironsight and adjust the dot klick klick boom ... no more waggling around and being killed by some dude
edit: o love the fakt that you have to shoot single shots with the rifle - and the overall sound of the battlefield is so great because of this YAY!

The aiming speed to speed up as I was trying to get my crosshair on somebody in close quarters. Not only that but the aiming seemed to lag a bit as well. This would cause me to overswing, then proceed to spray everywhere in a futile attempt to get my aiming back on track. This seems to be resolved. A lot of people are saying they can essentially spot on a dime now.

:lol :lol So much drama.
COD4 wasnt twitchy. Halo and Left4Dead are though. But they both had rather high levels of aim assist so it was a decent enough trade off.Fëanor said:
COD4 was just weird with the hit detection. Im not really sure what to say about it. There were so many times Ive killed people after clearly not shooting them. I never complained obviously :lol

Okay,
So I've only played about 3 hours total of the MP and am half-way to getting MSgt ...and I will say one thing
Killzone2 is THE BEST MP FPS experience I've had since Battlefield2 for PC ....it's that fucking good
It's combination of:
- The highly rewarding methodical and deliberate nature of the core gunplay.IE: It rewards finesse and thinking ...not twitching
- The Amazing Netcode ...Seriously, I've been joining nothing but EUR, AUS, and MiddleEast servers (USA servers tend to be too doucheville so thankfully I have an option here) and outside of one or two matches where dudes where warping around (which I promptly left anyways), the netcode has been amazingly smooth. And as I said before, I live in AK
- The gameplay modes/implementation! OMFG, I feel like I can't go back to other FPS in this regard
- The RPG Rank-up system. Well it's just excellent and the fact that game's aren't segregated between Ranked/Unranked like in most other FPS is just that much more convenient.
- Killzone2.com. Just a fantastic implementation that I finally give a damn about as most other attempts fail at this.
Anyways, gotta get back to work, but this is just how I'm feelin' right now
Now just fix the shottys

Why is Killzone 2 the anti-COD4? You can love both, believe me. Apparently, COD4 is a shooter that caters to the unwashed masses or Killzone 2 is unplayable. Where is the middle ground here people?

Ive watched my friends play cod4 and they are extremely good. They play the game in a very twitchy manner or in a knifey manner. The amount of times they one hit kill someone with a knife is crazy.

Is this up in the US yet? I just logged on and didn't get a notice about the patch.
Yea I havent played it in a while I dont really remember the level of twitch. Halo I remember. Thats why I could never play that game. And Left4dead is twitch city. So is TF2 not that I think about it.TrAcEr_x90 said:
And knife kills are always one hit in COD4.
Im still not sure how I feel about these controls. Im anxious to try them. Ive gotten decent at the game but only because I stuck with it and even did crazy things like make my y axis lower than my x axis to see if it would help (it did). I feel accomplished that the controls suddenly "clicked" with me through all my trails. But if they changed them too much to allow for the noob friendliness then Im done with this game Im afraid...
no Im not, Im not that dramatic

Exactly. I don't get it either.

Indeed it has. The cause of much rejoice and hand-wringing the last few pages.

Supposedly yes. I'm assuming just for the MP...I'm not sure people really care much about the SP controls...at least not in a relative sense.

Question: to get the 'Untouchable' trophy - Complete all missions in the game on any difficulty level without dying - do I need to play through the complete mission(s) on any difficulty, or is it enough to only play those parts where you died previously, so the 'least deaths:' stat on the mission select menu screen reads 0?
I'm asking because I have a bunch of missions where I only died once, and it would be cool if I could just replay the specific scenes in a mission where I died. Not a biggie either way, I'd just like to know for sure beforehand.

They were COD4 junkies. Feel free to hate.
If only Epic gave a shit as much as it appears GG does.

I know GG said they have fixed the Shotgun exploit in their list of fixes for the patch, but can anyone go ahead and confirm to me that the Shotgun Auto Aim has completely been removed?
I was so sick of them in games, they honestly made you better. I would run into a group of guys and take out 2 or 3 of them before I would fall.
Has anyone tried out the updated/patched controls with the shotgun? Is auto aim completely gone?

Where were you yesterday? Epic just dropped one of the most massive free patches I've ever seen.
Just tested it out. From what I can gather it's essentially the same but with less acceleration (doesn't have the same degree of momentum) and quicker turning. In other words, it's more traditional and a little more n00b friendly. I blame 360 fans and traditionally 360 gamers. Would have preferred it to just stay the same, but I can understand why GG did it.

CitizenCope said:
I'm kind of blown away by how attentive GG is, and how agile they are as far as identifying problems they want to fix, fixing them, and getting it released. Seems like they run a pretty tight ship.
With the exception of LBP which is also pretty good, it seems like every other developer out there is complaining about how Sony QA department gets in the way of them releasing great things. And here, the game is out a week, and that's a pretty impressive patch they've released.
Anybody who purchased SOCOM knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about (game still doesnt have features in the manual or features talked about in the diary videos that came on the BD, not to mention longstanding "quirks" in gameplay).

Wow ....really curious to see how these control tweaks turn out then
And yes, KZ2 hit detection is perfect and godly for me (hence why I love it so). This is a big deal as I point in a direction, fire and stuff happens like I think it should every damn time
This is the exact opposite of something like CS:Source which I absolutely hate

If true, I'm surprised that they actually changed the controls this quickly. I would figure this would take extensive testing and balancing. Maybe they found an actual lag issue and was able to correct it. I'm interested to try it out, but I'm fine for whatever. its hard as hell for me to get a good aim on someone but I'm still having tons of fun.

Thanks bro. It is on tonight, I cannot wait to play this game. I will just have to be quick to avoid rockets now since all the Shotgun noobs will be using rockets again.
Maybe I can work on my Engineer Ribbon some for Turret Kills and I wont hear people complain about me using a shotgun.
Need some tips please.
Is there any tips you guys can give me ? I've spent waaaay too much time on that scene.
I'm trying to finish off the last big fight before the last Boss fight. I'm playing on 'difficult' mode but i just can't meat the last wave of guys with rocket launchers.
