Hey! Can anyone tell me if and how the savegame is tied to the hardware of the console? If I exchange my PS3 now which part will I loose?

Unforunately, the save game cannot be copied.

It is absolutely RETARDED. I have two PS3s and access to a third, but if I want to play SP, I guess I'm locked down to the one in my living room now.

I don't know about MP. Do stats carry over to different consoles from the GG servers? I want to play from my girlfriend's house tonight. :/

Most of the time, the ribbon/medal "glitches" are usually server-side and dont require you to download a patch.

I suppose I should have gone back 6 pages instead of 4, to not offend you so!

That would be a bad idea.

I think coupled with the Squad Leader spawning, it's just too much. You can dominate any map if two Tacticians sprint to the enemy base at the start of a round and toss their spawns into early choke points. Then spam the enemy base with rockets, nade launchers, and hand grenades, until you've bottled them all up.

It happens in half the games I play right now, and it is boring no matter what side I'm on.

I just want to be able to kneel on a Tactician's smoke marker for 10 seconds to destroy it. if you can shoot me off of it in that time, all the power to you.

Oh damn, that sucks. Can someone explain that please? Anyone tried that?
 
Damn. I thought Gaf was hardcore, banning classes/skills? Weak. Assault class players are not a problem at all, sure they're hard in search and retrieve, But a lot of you Gaf guys are already generals, what so hard about plating a C4 at the drop off location?

Weeeeak.

Yes, on kz.com, here.

And I dunno how many people know this (I didn't since I never really browsed the site), but they have two large free pdf files filled with info and tips - one is for single-player, and the other features detailed strategies for every multiplayer map, mode and class. And even suggestions combining them, like how to play a certain map with a certain class.

It's funny how everyone is ignoring the question

I don't think anyone knows exactly what the tweaks are. They seem to fix the overswing problem people were having. Makes it easier to shoot moving targets to. It's not any kind of aim assist though.

Can someone please feed the Sony US monkey? I really would like for him to flip the switch and send the update out. I want to see what the control changes are all about.

I dont think being "hardcore" means playing the game at the defaults. If it seems unbalanced then try to balance it out yourself.

The class itself isnt a problem, it's that class coupled with rockets.

Maybe they fixed that acceleration issue I keep talking about but nobody seems to know what it is i'm talking about. Still havent done the diagram for it yet lol
Hopefully they fixed it.

Im lazy right now.

I can now confirm the over swinging issue with the controls have been rectified. holy hell it feels so much better. think cod4 but heavier.

No it doesn't. I've fought AC players before as a medic, basic soldier etc(I'm only Lieutenant) and they are not harder to kill or any of the other complaints. Only problem I have ever had with them is boosting to run away. But like I said, planting some C4 makes them really easy. The game is based on teamwork and not who has higher kills.

As for the mindless chaos comment, every game is like that. Should grenades be banned then as well? Grenade launchers? None of these things are that threatening. Never mind the fact that Assault spawns with only 3 rounds of ammo for the missile launcher.

I've played games when there was no assault class player and everyone was still getting naded like crazy. Even several pages back in this very thread people were talking about how some battles turn into people flinging grenades in one spot.

Assault is just as balanced as any other class.

Most of Europe ended up getting the patch around what, 3 or 4 PM? I wonder what's taking so long.

Sorry. No way it was directed to you. I just quoted latest post. It was general question. Removed your name from quote.

More specific? The same KZ2, but with better precision aiming right?

Pro tip: when you use boost, you can run right over C4 and pass it before it explodes, it doesn't even hurt you.

In my games, I've banned Assault class, grenade launchers and rocket launchers and the ability to boost.

You'd be surprised how much this effects the gameplay.

Assault class DOES get more health, nearly double that of the other classes.

Try to defend the class all you want, but it IS over powered. And it is by far the easiest class to use.

Anyone have any tips for properly using the Tactician's flying robots to get the ribbon? I thought getting the engineer turret ribbon was pretty easy (Put them up high in a relatively high traffic area for head shots), but with the tactician's robots it is a lot harder.

Still no US patch. What the hell.

Seriously. I want to play but it'll feel weird playing while knowing there's a patch out there that tweaks the controls (and fixes the shotgun exploit).

Guess I'll go back to the campaign for now.

Same here. My buddies are playing right now... I want to...

I agree about that assault class. Their extra hp plus boost + run is hell with the propaganda mode.

I'm nervous about the control/input tweaks. I hope they don't ruin the unique feel of the game :(

Have a fun! Enjoy!

That's not true tho. I tested this with a friend a couple of days ago. C4 do hurt a boosting assault, but you need 3 to bring it down compared to 2 for the standard solider.

Btw, anyone tried to place 2 C4s on an unsuspecting camper? Soo nice :D

Spot on dude!

OMFG! the controls! they feel amazing!. overswinging is a thing of the past!. I just finished a match and i was precise with every single kill! i was in control the whole time. It feels as if the dead zone has been tweaked and firing from the iron sites is a shit tone more accurate and precise. AMAZING!

No Offense, but you guys are having these clan match-ups at the WORST possible times :/

Considering that you've got people living up to 12 hours apart from each other, there's no such thing as a good time for them.

Fuck Cancer
So there are classes which I shouldn't use because I could get be banned from playing with other GAF members? I'm confused. I really am. Heck, I still don't know how to switch classes, now I also have to pay attention not to choose the wrong one?
