Support NeoGAF

I rented the game from Gamefly and started playing MP today. Of course the game didn't come with an instruction manual or anything so I'm kind of confused on how the ribbons work?

I thought you could be different classes? Or do you have to play a lot before this happens? What about acquiring new weapons? Healing people etc?

I tried logging on to killzone.com and look at the FAQ but the site has been really slow or not uploading at all.

when need to rank up to get those abilities and classes

[dfyb]

You rank up through points to unlock classes. You earn ribbons to unlock different abilities.

You have to unlock them by gaining levels and acquiring different ribbons. To get ribbons you have to do a specific thing i.e. revive someone 5times in a match. Here is a link that could help you out.

How does the Badge system work:

It's a lot more subtle than in other console games, though. A lot of the people who complained about the controls actually felt that there wasn't any aim assist at all.

Not that I'm saying that everyone who doesn't like the controls is simply too used to aim assist-heavy games, but it probably plays a part with some people given how many times I've seen it mentioned.

I think that was the "heaviness" they programmed into the controls. You can call it lag, dead zone, etc. whatever you want. Some people could adjust and some couldn't. The aim assist didn't seem any less than in CoD, but since turning and moving were a lot less fluid it took more effort. The idea that people have spread in this thread that there wasn't any skill in Halo or CoD sounded like tools. The movement here was just slower...on purpose! I for one liked it, it will be interesting to see what changes the patch brings. I'm just happy the developers are going to stay very involved in the game.

You start as a regular soldier and as you rank up you unlock the rest of the classes starting with medic, engineer, tactician, sboteur and scout i believe.

Medic can be unlocked after a couple of matches and most class specific abilities are activated pressing Left on the D-Pad.

Weapons are unlocked by getting a certain amount of ribbons in matches, like get 10 kills on 1 round, or heal 5 teammates in 1 round, you need 8 of those ribbons to unlock most of the extra stuff tho some require less.

 

[Smokey]

Thanks for the quick responses.

So I already have the healing gun or w/e by default?

 

[furrygiblets]

any gaf games up?

 

[RSTEIN]

THIS GAME FUCKIN SUCKS!!!!

Spoiler

nobody plays Gears 2 anymore

 

[krypt0nian]

Awesome, no prob :lol

Yeah I get the dd-wrt page. SHould my version be Firmware: DD-WRT v24 (05/24/08) micro?

Going to try and setup my ps3 media server again and see if I can freaking stay online now!

 

[Raist]

Thanks for the quick responses.

No, you have to unlock the medic class. Its default ability is the revive gun, then if you revive 5 people during a match, and do it 8 times, you unlock the health packs.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

tosses grenade > "holy shite, grenade" > diving roll - the helghast are awesome :lol

started my elite campaign and it's well hard.

 

[Zeliard]

Thanks for the quick responses.

Yes, that is your primary ability that no other class can possess. If you revive enough people (five per round) and get enough ribbons for it, you eventually get a badge that gives you your secondary ability: med packs. You can use them to either heal yourself or others.

Edit: thought you already had the medic class. Yeah, you need that first.

 

[BravoSuperStar]

Just finished the Cruiser level last night. (I know it's taking me awhile to get through SP).

One of the best levels out of any FPS released this gen. The flow and look of that level just struck me as genius. Great balance of run and gun, strategic gun battles and a nice little break up in the action midway. Absolutely outstanding design. Hopefully will finally finish up SP tonight and jump into some MP.

Sounds right, yep.

Username and password will likely be:
* username: root
* password: admin

...if set initially at all.

Make sure you change those obviously. And then do whatever you need to do to set up your wireless however you like it, security, SSID and such.

i ran into like 5 games where the revolver was banned (last one even had the sniper rifle banned). i hate scrubs that do that shit -- same thing goes for AWP in CS. i hope GAF games never pussy out and ban shit.

 

[GDJustin]

I too have the game from gamefly, and all the classes being behind an unlock wall annoyed me quite a bit, at first.

BUT, the more I played, the more I realized that the game provides you with ample stopping power, right from the beginning.

The moment Killzone 2 "clicked" with me was after about ~90 minutes of multiplayer when I realized your starting gun can kill someone from very, VERY far across a map. It can reach out and touch the enemy in a way that starting guns in other FPS titles don't. A ballsy decision, to give everyone that much range, right from the start.

I've unlocked about half the weapons/classes now, and I'm still using that default gun. Shotty is great, but I always lament the loss of range, anytime I use it.

Just about the only aspect of multiplayer leveling up that I think is bullshit is the perk that gives you more starting ammo - you start with FAR FAR too little, before you have it.

 

[Killthee]

My system just died while in the middle of a match. Fuck!

 

[Byakuya769]

starting to get in the swing of this game a lil.. kd is still horrible, but I'm having frustrating fun. One thing that is annoying me about a lot of new online games is that the post game lobby is never really explained.. you just have to figure out what your stats are by deduction and experience.

Dunno if it says it in the manual. I found it online. A couple are obvious, like kills and deaths. One of them is negative points coming from team kills/suicides, and the other one is mission points.

Oh! it's mission points? I thought it was Assists! I kept getting way more of those then kills so I figured it had to be assists :lol.

[Smokey]

Wait..you guys don't have the patch?

Or has there been more than 1 patch put out?

And to whomever asked about the crouch toggle, yes it's there.
