Ok I was almost to the point of swearing to not play this game until they took out the double health for assault class.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, WHO CAME UP WITH THIS FUCKING IDEA SHOULD BE SHOT AND SHAT ON.

It's awesome. Assualt + M4! It's my favorite thing in the game. I was playing a game on Tharsis earlier on the ISA side and these guys decided to build bots in front of and above our base, position two snipers right accross the entrances, add flying bots, throw a spawn grenade in our base, and position shotgun engineers around there too. I decided to switch over to Assualt which was gimped only allowing the M4 and I just made them so miserable. They were going insane. We won. :lol

I'm going to try and get them legit for a little while longer though. Maybe my luck will take a turn for the better.

yea! me,you and kittonwy lit it up tonight
Has some great games last night again. Once again it was a 6 vs. 2 match and for some reason the other guy from my team disappeard so i was all alone on the isa side. Those mo'fuckers didnt even let me out of my base but i still kicked their asses 'i had about 100 points after a 15 mins match.
I would really appreciate a GAF clan invite
Btw. Did you notice there are a lot of girls playing kz2??? There been two girls in my match yesterday and i constantly see at least one girl in almost every match i play.

fun games yesterday with lots of GAFe members destroying GAFa + randoms, I was somewhat shocked with the abuse of rocket / grenade launchers + boost at a certain moment in the game though... I guess you want winning at all costs ! :lol it was way more enjoyable than random games anyway !

With just little over a month and with a 3rd of the post the Halo 3 thread has,wow it look like many people actually wanted to see Killzone 2 after all.

Meaning, turrets too? These are fine, IMO.
What needs more attention I think is their aiming (turrets aim pretty good, it's not rare to be headshot. Flying bots on the other hand can't aim for shit), and their amazing propension to fly into the next obstacle and blow up in a heartbeat.
Also, is the tourney system being looked at too? We need more infos on the settings.
And please, ban these fucking VP abusing clans or something >:[

I don't know that upping the damage is really the best solution to this problem. Air support can be an annoyance in larger skirmishes and because it can move around it can be hard to destroy. Giving them the ability to do more damage may make them too much of a threat. With turrets you can quickly turn to them and toss a grenade/fire a rocket/shoot them, or just get out of their line of fire. You don't really have those options with Air Support. This means that entering into an area with air support will mean that you have to take them out first which can put the team at a disadvantage as it will be easy to toss one down at any time (upon respawn).
Perhaps you could give them a spot&mark ability like the Scout, but for a limited range and the ability would put the little blue x's on everyone's screens for as long as the bot is active.
or
Perhaps making it actually good against turrets?
or
Make the requirements for the badges something different - like spotting 5 people or some such thing.
My problem with the turrets is the badge requirements and how much they suck against turrets (or rather, how awesome turrets are against air support). Air Support is great for adding some confusion to larger skirmishes and it would be unfair if they just started racking up kills. Perhaps they should mark Scouts as a primary target though?

After have been sleeping and gone through my statements again, I might have exaggerated a little bit to much. Cod4 is still a good game, not garbage, but it is dam overrated and don't comes near KZ2 in MP experience.
mgviperman said:
You guys don't to have to do that. Do as I did, play as normal but when enemies are near an flying bot, wound them whit two shots and the bot will take care of the rest. Got my last 4 ribbons that way
just a tip What GG really need to do is to fix 1% thophy!....Tenkai Star

I have NOTHING to do at work so I read different game forums all day long. This thread is a great place to hear about news about upcoming patches, fixes, tips on how to play etc.FirewalkR said:
Tempy said:
awesome to know you guys are constantly looking at balances
Thought air sentry bots weren't bad in the beta, they just seem gimped now that turrets rocket the crap out of them. A lot of us got the air sentry ribbons in beta by playing normally but almost no one has gotten the medal in retail through normal games.
Listen to this man, GG!AndyD said:
Well, okay TDM was kinda fun compared to deathmatch. But I've never been a huge fan of either, unless I'm playing with friends only, TDM matches with random players weren't that fun, imo.Facism said:
I think GG should learn from MGO's search. I hate KZ2's search system, hate going through dozens of matches to find the one I like.
It's not fun! And the games in lobby has very basic info. See, in MGO, you don't even have to do custom search just enter the lobby and everything is there. Also love the comment at the bottom so you know what to expect. I also like the text chat thing before the match, and kick votes (can you do that in KZ2?), also like the voting system for changing teams.

Some great games yesterday. Fuck you Lince for killing me so much :lol
Highlight of the day tho: TTP hiding in a pipe as the assassination target. An Italian in a pipe, couldn't stop thinking of Mario :lol

Fair enough

God imagine KZ2 with Natural Selection commander mechanics. Squads, waypoints etc.
What could have been.

Hell yeah! We pretty much dominated the last few matches!
Fully agreed and been thinking of the same ideas myself. The main problem with air support is the unreasonable ribbon requirement. I think upping damage is a bad idea.the_prime_mover said:
What I would tweak:
- Less prone to randomly smash against walls
- Better at evading turret rockets (and nerf the turret's rocket firing rate)
- Better aim and more active in looking to spot sabo's disguise and scout's cloak (they should be as effective as ground turrets for spotting out these guys, but keep the damage low)

Since it has passed the H3 view count total expect it to slow down considerably if you catch my drift.

Yeah, those are very good suggestions. I also agree with the idea of being able to shut down a spawn, but I don't think it should be something that is built. Running headlong into the enemy's zone of control with the spawn grenade's pin pulled so that it will deploy after you get killed is a great tactic for pushing a front line. I don't quite know how GG could implement a deactivation though.
I also think that GG should consider introducing different grenades. I don't know if the Electric grenades would work well in MP, but the smoke grenades would. They are in single player, but would be a great tool for the Tactician to use. Perhaps give them that instead of the normal grenade? Something like that would be great for concealing snipers, turrets or narrow passageways.
Also, with the little April Fools joke from GG, I started thinking that there should be an option in Clan only game/tournaments to elect a Radec or Templar type. This character would be a Rifleman class with access to all weapons and secondary badges (assuming everything is unlocked), but they could be a squad leader's squad leader - thus giving other squad leaders someone to spawn under. This squad leader could then have voice contact with all squads and be able give commands to the entire team.
CitizenCope said:
I doubt that. And I doubt people actually come in to this thread just for that. I think it's because of the nature of the game, it's platform exclusivity and because of it's graphical potency. I mean, even after passing H3's viewing numbers, it's still going up very fast.
Just kind of started playing the KZ2 Multiplayer recently...
This is easily the most fun I've had with any online fps on any system in a long long time - haven't had this much fun since the early days of CS and Tribes. It's incredible and it's worth the price of admission alone. In 3 hours of playing last night I only heard one derogatory statement over voice chat, which makes it a bit more pleasant right off the bat.

Yeah I tried to do competitive on Monday after I bought the map pack and the character pack to support Insomniac and I was horrible at it. Horrible. It was weird playing something that fast after KZ2. Was playing it with a friend that knew nothing about Resistance 2 and he was doing better than I was. Embarrassing. I ended the first game with 1 or 2 kills and about 10 deaths.. That's how hard it was for me to transition between the two games. I got better after that but man it was different.

I see you havn't played a game with me yet then.
I'd love for sentry damage to be increased. I even resorted to jumping in those "long games, easy xp" type servers, and I still couldn't get the required number of kills. I did finish up my turret badge, though. Playing with 32 people just drives me insane. The spawn points were placed in mind boggling locations.
Mind. Boggling.
