KILLZONE 2 - The |OT|

Spawns outside the towers? That's like having the toilet in the kitchen. Once your defense is penetrated it becomes incredibly difficult to get the control back.

It's never about how well it would work when everything works according to plan, it's how you should set it up should someone fucks it up (which ALWAYS happen) and you have to rectify the situation, we need to quickly kill whoever is trying to plant and if he succeeds in planting the spawns allow us to quickly overwhelm the area, suppress the other team long enough to get it diffused. It's just like having spawns outside the room in S&D Radec, it's great if we have total control of the area, but if that's the case it doesn't really matter where we have the spawns, S&D defense should be much easier than it has been. I think people in general try to be way too cute with spawns, it's like pounding a nail, use a fucking hammer, cuz it works.

Yeah, this follows my own experiences. Especially with spawn invincibility in the game, you might as well take advantage of it and have a spawn right next to the objective. If GG ever decides to tweak the spawn grenades, then we might have the opportunity to get a bit more fancy. ;)

I think during clan matches we should have two tacticians, one is always on active duty and the other one should replace spawns ONLY IF the primary one is all the way on the other side of the map and can't and both spawns are about to run out, to prevent the entire team from spawning back home.
I find it's much easier with one good dedicated tactician. You know exactly where and when you dropped the spawns. I like to space out my two spawns (time wise), so that they don't run out at the same time and there's always one spawn active whenever the other one runs out. This can be difficult to coordinate when you have two tacticians.
Though I'll admit it's quite challenging to single-handedly keep up the spawns on Visari Hammer where the objectives are spaced out on a larger map.
 
Finally finished Killzone! Thank you Guerrilla for such a fantastic experience.

My god though, that fight with Radec is a bitch. I feel sorry for the people playing on Elite.

Question - During the final battle. Are the enemies infinite or do they stop coming after awhile?

I think everyday GAFA should have a couple of clan games up. Something like 3on3 or 5on5 that way we get tons of practice, and different people can play every day.

Edit: I noticed something in the last clan game we had. When I bitch and moan I play horrible when I shut the fuck up I am pretty decent :lol

I am Lyulf lol. We have more games later on so please go on later today.

Edit: We got fucking destroyed in that game. Really how do we let three snipers on Radec beat us in bodycount. The other team wasn't even that good. All they did was turret us to death.

I be playin after dinner, just got home from work.

Destroyed? U guyz r a disgrace.

On one game we lost because it was 4 on 1. At least I won bodycount :D The second game we lost because we sucked, but we won the third game because of Click, Joeinnit, and N1ghtz. They started a comeback. We were down 3-1 and they just went on fire and we ended up winning.

I swear this games' server setup is playing tricks on me. Couple nights in a row now i've tried to find a game with my rank only and every first attempt results in a no game found error - then when I select the search again it displays active games. that just some odd shit.

Also, why am I getting the impression not many people are playing this onlin? I did a search for any rank, in EU region and there was only one page of rooms listed.

Just getting into a game isn't as hassle free/clear about what you're doing as something like Warhawk.

You did pretty well yourself. :D I apologize for doing so crappy at the beginning of the match. That was only my second game of Killzone since downloading the patch and the controls felt slightly different to me. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off as I was getting adjusted. :lol

Hoping to get my official headset back soon. I've been using an old SOCOM headset and I think the mic on that thing is busted.

We did get destroyed. One of the other guys got banned halfway through. And one of the guys kept killing click through walls.

I sucked too. I need more practice in small games, I usually play 12-16 player games, and a 6 player game was real small.

Did the controls change? I dled the patch, logged in and hopped into the clan game.

the other team didn't show, so we just messed around. Won 1000 valor points (10 clan matches won).

Sweet I'm watching the Celtics game now. I think Click is good luck he said that he hopes the Celtics lose and they are winning by 22 :lol
 
Just downloaded the latest patch and now it takes a bit to jump to the main menu?

I DON"T WANT TO LISTEN TO VISARI WTF

I press X, it makes a noise and nothing happens.

In addition, it seems like the intro is all out of sync.

welcome to clan tournaments, make yourself at home. They are fixing this anyway (patch TBA), so we should be grateful that Guerrilla is fixing such a glaring flaw 3 or more months after the launch. Other developers just would look away, thanks Guerrilla.

I just had an awesome game with FFObs and Bcn, 32 players, very smooth. I think the game is improving.

You HAVE to show SCE logo and the developer logo

After the GG logo appears you can hit X or start and it bypasses the rest. Before it would let you hit X after Sony credit, now you have to see the GG logo too. I dont blame them, plus I think the GG logo is bad ass lol.

Its kinda why I was worried about playing clan games through KZ setup instead of through gb.com. At least on gb.com we can blast the guys on the forum and people avoid that clan altogether lol.
I mean you can beat it by not losing and playing good or do it b4 hand but I really dislike using shitty tactics.
Lince Idk if you saw it, but I edit my post the other day to reflect water under the bridge
 
I bought this game at launch and I haven't even played it online yet. =(

I decided to start playing online only after I beat the singleplayer campaign. I only played for about an hour every few days because college got busy and I left off at what I think is the last boss. Resident Evil 5 came out 2 weeks later and I put a lot of time into that for about 10 days until I got the platinum trophy for it. I haven't played a console game since then...

Now I'm afraid that if I start this game now, I'm going to suck and feel discouraged from playing.

Was horrible. We kinda catch up and than on deatchmatch they basically go up 1 kill and stop respawning and get a win.

How does GG fuck up this badly. Didn't they know people would do this. I mean wtf were they thinking. This and bringing the propaganda speaker to you own base should have been the first fixes.

I think its just that somethings you dont expect people to do. I mean come on, its not like beta testers(inhouse beta) were purposely not spawning to fuck over the other people.

I expect things like this to get through quality, very small and the only people who do this are people desperate for wins so its not like the first week you have people doing this stuff. Granted its fucken annoying and stupid but as long as its fixed its all good.

Are there any games going on right now? Nobody on my friends list or in my clan (vintage GAF, a dead clan, it seems) is playing. PSN id= Capt_Mhead


Btw, I just installed the patch today and the controls feel slick. I'm not sure what they changed, but I like it. :D

The beta was too small IMO. An open beta would have done wonders for this game. I now things like this might not pop up immediately but man when it does you have to fix it almost immediately. Cheats like this take awa one of the strongest parts of the online (clans matches). I would have been pretty pissed if that happened to me. I can see people starting to cheat more as you put more on the line. Nothing happens at first because you betting low valor.



alr1ghtstart said:
I just submitted grief reports on all of them.

To be honest I don't think nothing happens to these people no matter how many times you report them. It looks like GG does absolutely nothing to cheaters in general. They still allow them to play. The only time they do anything to them is if they catch them in a game they are watching.

i wouldn't worry about it. I did the same thing. Just started playing a lot of mp for the first time a few days ago. Just use the match making and you'll be fine.

I never got the "I haven't played online from the beginning and I'm gonna suck" mentality. Just play the game. You suck, you'll get better. I've had friends quit Warhawk after getting pwned for a day or two. Their loss.

Instead of rushing in there to get killed, it's a better idea to just keep them in there, bombard them with grenades and bullets and FUCK THEM UP and FUCK THEIR K/D TO FUCKING HELL.

As long as you don't fuck up your team's spawn rotation, you'll be alright.

No need to apologise. Temmates just get in the way of the killing. Makes sense to take them out of the equation...
