Great game lastnight fellas [VectorRaven]. Im was so amazed at the graphics once again for the new map lvls. Hey Kittonwy how about some GAFA love for an old clan member :-(.
edit: Oh and so much damn bitchin. Some folks take there KZ2 gaming just a tad to serious. Yeah I understand we all paid for it but damn. Just the way I feel anyway.

What is a random ? It's just an elitist term ?

Oh , so it's to denote people working as a team. I know I can usually finish above people with clan tags in points but my side still lose the objectives because they,the side that won, was working together while other people were refusing to do so.

randoms = not working together, if you put your heart into planting / defusing in S&D and in S&R attack you're likely to get killed a lot until you get it right, teamplay isn't always the best way to get the higher K/D, but I don't give a crap about that.

Maybe it's because you Team Kill the guy planting the charge on S&D?

I didn't get to bed until a few hours ago, but my want to play the game was refreshed with the two new maps.
Last night was giving some of the better players in GAFA a run for their money, too :lol
Time for a powernap, then to join some of you in the warzone!

:lol Having half my hits not register, shooting someone in the head 6 times then walking away and them dying 6 seconds later is not a game I will be playing in. Then on top of that being called a newb every time I died by the opposition, which is not something I would normally care about and I often enjoy some banter to rile each other up, as long as it doesn't get out of hand but I was already getting increasingly annoyed by physically not being able to kill people no matter how much I shot them.
Then I had the incredibly stupid idea to join a random game by myself which while it wasn't noticeably laggy, not enough to annoy me anyway, it was full of morons placing spawn points in bad positions now allowing me to place decent ones and thus losing us the game. I promptly turned Killzone off.
I'll be on in about an hour if there are enough GAF people online, how long I will stay is yet to be seen.

I downloaded the map pack today, but I also downloaded Flower and Nobi Nobi Boy.
Flower has stolen my attention, but I'm gonna play the new maps later tonight... Is anyone planning on setting up a GAF room?

There is a playlist for new map. It's conveniently called "Steel and Titanium Maps".

As far as my version of KZ2 goes, you are correct. I only have "Killzone 2 Originals", "Any" and each map individually. They just need to patch in a search filter that allows me to find servers that have certain maps in rotation (even if they aren't being played right that moment).
The implementation of these DLC maps is pretty terrible for those uninterested in purchasing.
I'm in the same camp of "boot me when the map comes up in a rotation, otherwise let me play on the server till then."
They really did a number on joining friends with this style map-implementation.
Not impressed / not surprised.

If anyone from GAFA (or e) wants to join me I've created a game with the new maps called FF NO RCKT NEW
Either find via Join clan or add me and Join Friend. It's a maximum of 20 players.

Good going tonight GAFe.
I still can't wrap my head around Wasteland Bullet AT ALL. Without looking at the map, I can never tell where the hell I am, it's even worse than Salamimon Market in that respect. All carriages (is that a word?) still look the same to me.
Outside, there is no other map in the game that lends itself so well to blindly thrown grenades. People just stand behind the little ramps on either side, making them practically invisible, and lob frags across to the other side. That's really lame. Ammo boxes everywhere sure "help" with that too.
I like the Vekta Cruiser map more, it's characteristic, easy to learn, there are many ways to get around. Not a lot of space to maneuver though. I'm not sure if that's an interesting change from all the other maps, or if it's just annoying. It has lots of "accidental" cover too, like the debris in the western C&H point, all those computer terminals in the HGH S&D room, or the closed handrails on the other side.

Slightly disheartening; MOAR PEOPLE NEED THIS GAME?

I have now played alittle more on the Vekta Cruizer map, but i cant find any significant slowdowns in the framerate around the S&D spots (both the ISA and the Helghast one), or in on the map in general, where on the map is the slowdowns happening? I cant really see it :\ I noticed maybe some slowdown, but it was maybe down to 20 fps at max if i should guess, the game still felt very playable to me at least. This was a 31 player match.

Ah ok. I dont remember if there were any spawn grenade deployed closes to the S&D places, but ye, maybe the framerate drops more if there are spawn points deployed there indeed. And maybe the framerate can drop more if alot of people are throwing grenades at the same time.bcn-ron said:
By the way, where was that door glitch again, where you couldnt see into the next room through a doorway (if i understood it correctly?). I tried to look at all the doorways close to the ISA base in the Vekta Cruizer, but i couldnt find it :\ I think would be cool to see it, so i want to see it
Got tired of the autobalanced gaf rooms, the teams are still quite unbalanced, I was wondering why one team has engineers having turrets set up ALL OVER THE PLACE and looking at ourselves why we have so many medics running around.
I'm not saying tacticians can't decide where they want to put the spawn, but on Salamun Market underneath the bridge is NOT a good place, never was during the beta, and it's still not a good place to place a spawn, you're conceding the high ground, the S&D spawns were just wrong, totally frustrating. We won't win clan matches playing like this.

Body count is like a fucking crutch now, it's far too long AND people forget it's only ONE mission out of a handful. People are good at shooting and killing each other, I get it, now let's learn how to win the other 6 missions by having a balanced team without everybody doing medic or tact, and getting those spawn placements right.

Big central room with the pillar of light/whatever glowing thing, let's call it "engine", looking back south. As you walk out of the ISA starting area, note how brightly lit the directly preceding "antechamber" (with the two stairs facing each other) is. As you walk into the big "engine" room, turn around and look back at the doorway you just came out of. It's shown darkened and fades out completely as you distance yourself (walk backwards).test_account said:By the way, where was that door glitch again, where you couldnt see into the next room through a doorway (if i understood it correctly?).

There are two doorways that fit the description on the bottom floor, and two more on the upper floor. I want to say it's happening with the eastern doorway on the bottom floor but I haven't really checked today. If it's not that, try the one on the upper floor. It may be all of them, or just one.
It's really not jarring, there's no popup or anything immediately obvious but a smooth fade. It's just that when you know exactly how bright that room was as long as you were inside of it, and will be again as soon as you go back in, that there's something not quite right there.
The Helghast spawn area looks completely amazing btw. Couldn't quite look at it playing ISA, but now that I've played a few rounds on the map as Helghast ... yeah. Really impressive.

Had my first multiplayer games in probably a month and a half earlier tonight, resulted in 2 teamkills (1 on Kitton, sorry dude lol, crossfire)... but yeah, not too bad of a show for my first time back in a while, and on brand new maps, to boot.
I'm going to get that damn 1% trophy this time! (was away on vacation the week I was supposed to log on and receive it :\ )

Good God, i LOVE playing S&D. It's awesome being a saboteur espacially in S&D. I always run and plant no matter who is around and how many are around. They always land in this disbelief that MAYBE someone from their team is defusing the bomb
