"Oh, new shiny!" effect. Once you'll have spent a couple of hours searching for tourneys, you'll see the flaws.
Let me make a recap:
- Tourneys that are full, or already started, are displayed. We don't really give a F about these ones since we can't join 'em. Except if they expected us to spectate random tournaments. At least make a filter for full/ongoing tourneys (and a search option would be gladly welcomed. Even a simple one, with basic infos such as map or player limit, would be extremely useful)
- Lack of settings infos in the tourney page. Mission settings, FF anyone? Having to join a tournament to see that it has 15min long C&H is extremely annoying
- No infos on the ladder. I mean, when you create a tournament, you set the times for all the rounds. So why is it not displayed in the ladder page? We don't need to know who are the qual'd clans to know what times have originally been set. Suscribing to multiple tournaments because of this is a pain, because you might end up with tourneys with overlapping rounds. So far we've managed to avoid it most of the time, but that's because we're awesome.
I think these are minor and easy things to implement, so I don't get why it hasn't been done yet.

I love hearing people's voices in game talking about me.... "Where's tigerheli?", "I think tigerheli's down there, I'm going around", or "Tigerheli and his fucking C4". I haven't received any hate mails, though, but I have received a couple clan invites/tryout invites.
As for the autobalance, I know we all want to play on the same time, for strategy's sake and to become a better team, but what people seem to not realize is that playing 11 on 5 just means that the opposing team gets camped in their spawn the entire match. Sure, GAF may all be on the same team, but what on earth are we learning, except out to shoot someone as they spawn?
This is why I want a freaking party system, along with autobalance. It's becoming maddening. I seriously can't believe GG said, "No, let's not have a party system. Our game is better without it." /boggle. Unless they didn't say that, and just didn't even consider it? I don't know what's worse. When's call of duty: MW 2 coming out again?
I know these complaints have been tossed around for 2 months now. But I just don't understand game developers... do they not play their own games? Making a gameplay choice like spawn grenade spam is one thing, but leaving out basic features that, if included, would make people's game experience better from the jump, is just silly. But hey, I'm a lawyer, not a game developer, what do I know.
WHY AREN'T WE ALLOWED TO SEE THE DETAILS OF A SERVER BEFORE WE JOIN. Why? I mean, that's a pretty basic feature. And it impacts the enjoyment of the game so much, e.g., no rocket spam.

The reason is if we're trying to win tournaments/clan challenges, it's more than just winning bodycount (which we're already pretty good at), we have to be able to work together as a team, and that doesn't happen if people from the same clan are on opposing factions because for things like search and retrieve and capture and hold you need to have an idea of where your clanmates are going to be and what they're doing, tacticians need to practice getting the spawn points in the right spots and maintaining them, when you have more than one tactician they need to get used to playing with each other, it's fun to just dick around but we'll get crushed in a clan challenge if we're not organized, that's all. There's a huge difference when one team is well organized and the other isn't, because on some maps a couple of well-placed spawn points and a few organized squads can keep the opposing side completely contained. The problem with autobalancing is it makes it hard for all of us to practice working together because we're on separate factions.

But playing 11 on 5 DOES help gaf work as a team? There's no strategy involved whatsoever. I completely understand your point, and I 100% agree with you, but remaining unbalanced hardly simulates a competitive atmosphere. The best way to learn to work together is to play a ton of clan matches, learn from our losses, and then adapt. We can sprinkle in some practices (and/or scrimmage ourselves) and the like. It's pretty much impossible to get the right setup on public servers to do any good, at least until GG decides to implement a party system. COD4 did it pretty well. They can just copy that system.
Organization is the key, you are right. Let's get organized! We should list out the members of gafa and what class they prefer to play/are best at, so we have an idea. We should have regularly scheduled practices/scrimmages, so people know ahead of time that every wednesday at 10 pm, there will be a practice. Maybe we can have a gaf server up nightly with the settings we prefer... as it is now, when I go on at night, I'll see 10 GAFA on, but in 6 different games. We should all be together. Holding hands. Shooting people in the face.

Sweet new ranks, and the ability to invite a player is also good, this also means a party system in the next patch
Fixing the map exploits was priority for me so it is nice to see they are half way there with them but other than that they haven't even acknowledged, let alone addressed the issues I have with the game.
Instead of addressing potentially game breaking issues they add more ranks and the ability to search for a different amount of people in warzone, at least they are giving the idiots on the official forums what they want - bar jet packs and lazers I guess, sigh.

Random suggestion/wish/fix this shit Guerilla:
For S&D only, scale the length of spawn invincibility proportionally to distance between spawn point and (closest) target. Spawn 20m away? Maximum/default time. Spawn 10m away? Half. On top of it? No invicibility.
Advantage: addresses specific common complaint of horde (c.f. "clusterfuck") without changing fundamental game mechanic nor requiring asset work nor affecting any legitimate play-styles. Just take the lengths of the vectors between spawn point and the two S&D targets, select the shorter of the two, and modify the timer accordingly, done.
Also please make the shiny rim effect on respawn longer/long enough so that it reflects the actual time of invincibility.
That'd be all. Thanks for your cooperation.

Nice update! Are the new maps included in this patch for free? or thats separate?
Can't wait for the bigger patch. Hopefully they include some new game modes.
I want to compliment GG on their relentless efforts on supporting this game after release and listening to the community as much as possible. Bravo! Go buy this game if you have not yet to support them!

I don't think what you experienced was an exploit, but a flaw in the aim-assist. What happens is, you'll be shooting someone as they're evading, and when they drop down to a lower level, there is a strong lock-on that stays on them, but undesirably tends to lock onto their legs or feet, even though you're resisting it and trying to stay pointed at their torso or head.Facism said:

Wow, 750+ points? How is that possible? How long did that game/round lasted?vicktormerv said:
Ah yes, now that you mention it, i think i remember that this happend to you tooLince said:
I am sorry to hear that it happend to you too! Maybe it is a more common problem that i think that the Killzone 2 save game can be corrupted?About having to delete the save file to be able to change your language, i agree that this is wierd indeed. I tried to change the XMB/system language on my PS3 to see if that changed the language in Killzone 2 as well, but it didnt. The language in for example Resistance 2 is changed automaticly to the same language that the XMB/system language is in (maybe not every language works though, but i tested with a few and all of those worked
).I dont know why Guerilla Games didnt include a language changer in the option menu in the game. Maybe it is just something that they didnt really think about. I cant imagine that it would be too hard to have such an option at least. But ye, it is abit wierd that you have to delete your save game to be able to change the language in Killzone 2. It is not exactly a smart way to have to delete the Killzone 2 savegame to be able to change the language in the game, even if Guerilla Games intented it to be this way or not, i agree

I top 500 all the time now in games with 30 minute rounds on the Radec Academy map (or other small, cq map), and I'm definitely not the best player in the world. You can get a ton of points in S&D and C&H. With a headshot giving, assuming you win, 6 points (1 for headshot, 3 for kill within the zone area, 1.5 multiplier for the win), you can see how quickly it can add up. Against bad players, they'll just mosey through the doorways without much care, and you can just mowwwww them down.

Most of the time it's not 11 on 5 though. With autobalancing off you can still even the team out if you choose to, if the factions are totally uneven, but with autobalancing on, there's no choice when you're in a crowded game to keep the clan together, so we often end up playing on opposite sides with stupid non-gaf motherfuckers on our teams, if we get enough people to have a couple of squads going on the same side, that's going to help us when we play in bigger games against other clans.

any word on beefing up the air sentry bots a bit? These fucking things are useless i've gotten like 12 kills with then in over 70 hours :lol also a turret can take them out in like 1 shot when they arrive if they aren't being shot at by players and moving around, they need to tune down the speed that those things shoot rockets.

That's the problem! Non-gaffers on our team. Why can't they leave us alone and go to the other team?! We should create a server named "Non gaf go to other side"
