You should really either name names or try and help the people who apparently don't know how to play the game. I think Hardcore mode would be best with 24 players - 3 teams of 4. 3 squad leaders to spawn on. That way there are more places to spawn (provided the squad leader stays alive) when you're not playing something like Capture and Hold. The only drawback I see to this is it makes the squad leader kind of ineffective because he has to spend the majority of his team trying to stay alive, rather than killing the enemy or going for an objective.

Yup.

Matter of fact I have a question for Kittonwy and otrs who play Tacts and swear by them.

Why the heck is it that everytime I play and you guys are tats that there is never a spawn down? Last night on the train map, the whole time no spawns were up, we had kittonwy in our squad and he was a tact.I was like wtf were are the spawns, I would switch to tact drop spawns(when I found out what the obj was) and switch back to my man.

This happens in every gaf game, is there a specific thing you do? Is there a reason why sometimes no spawns are up? I'm just asking out of curiosity, that way I know and dsont fuck up any routines and switch to tact myself.

Because Kittonwy is not a good Tactician? :lol

I've told this to his face (ear) many times too.

 

[Kittonwy]

I wouldn't play the "hardcore" games either. Why? Because that's just not how this game was designed to be. KZ2 is meant to be a mindless, "spammy," run and gun game. Not some sort of slow-paced, "tactical," and "boring" game with FF on and most classes and weapons turned off.

BTW, I hate friendly fire because it's just not meant to be in a fast respawn FPS game like KZ2, especially not with all the grenade spamming, unrestricted spawn grenades, and with so many people running into the line of fire of teammates.

TTP came up with the idea, probably after reading my huge post back on page 501, where I said I wouldn't mind it if KZ2 had no class system and just made all weapons available (minus rocket/grenade launchers) and used the Rifleman (or some generic soldier class with character customization) instead. TTP and other "hardcore" players are just trying to find new ways to have fun in KZ2, since this game quickly loses its (graphical) charm after a certain amount of playtime. Some get bored faster than others.


Oh, and I'm not bitter towards anything. I'm just highly critical towards GG's inability to develop and patch this game properly. And please spare me with the whole "I'd rather play KZ2 instead of Confrontation because there's not enough GAF'fers playing Confrontation" bullshit. You never played SOCOM in the first place, not even during the unbearable period (for you) after KZ2 beta and before KZ2 officially launched.

I'm sure GAFe is just trying to find their own fun with the game, probably not fun for people who haven't played the game for as long as most of them.

For the record I did play confrontation a few times with greg and beatbox, my limited experience basically involved me trying hard not to get killed, for me it's not a better alternative.

Exactly. So don't try and make excuses like there's not enough GAF'fers playing for you to play Confrontation. You were bad at the game and didn't bother to stick with it long enough to get better (just FYI, I sucked for about 2 straight weeks in that game until I got better).

KZ2 is a much easier game to get kills and do well in and it also has fast respawn. Therefore, you love it and have become an uber KZ2/GG fanboy.

I was playing as a standard soldier until I switched to assault+RKT, half the time I was getting team killed.

I don't claim to be a good tactician, I would gladly defer to someone who is better so I can just run around racking up kills.

And I'm not sure why you would bash my tactician skill, when you decide to play tact I usually just sit back and let you throw all the spawns, and then you would complain about spawns that someone else playing as tact had thrown, unless all the tacticians, however many, are on the same page, getting spawns in the right place can be difficult.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I love being a Saboteur. SMG is a beast and the only weapon where I don't need to zoom in to shoot. But, it's also a bad habit cause now I can't play properly with other weapons

 

[icechai]

you know what this game needs? A queuing system. I wanna just wait in line or be able to join a game right out of spectator mode. As it is now once a GAF game is full, i try for 5 min, then its off to CoH

 

[H_Prestige]

I really like the disguise ability but I just suck with the SMG. I know everyone says it's so easy to rack up kills with it, but I can't aim with it at all and it seems pretty weak. ISA rifle is my bread and butter. Very precise and usually only takes a short burst to take someone down.

I wasn't bashing your Tactician skills. I was just answering oneHero/FinestOne's post.
Trust me, you'd know if I was bashing your (lack of) Tact skills. I'd pick it apart, which I didn't.

SMG is a crutch. It's just a "spray and pray," hold down R1, and hope for the best type of gun. That's why so many people (especially GAF'fers) use it.

It takes little skill to get kills with this gun, since it fires so damn fast, has little recoil (for it's extreme fire rate), and gets too many random headshots. The ONLY downside to this gun is the fact that it comes with a low amount of ammo, but that is easily resolved by setting up ammo boxes, which makes it more overpowered due to the fact that its maximum ammo capacity is ridiculous.

[Fersis]

I have a question for you guys in this thread. Is there some issue with the sound mix of this game for anyone else when running it through a 5.1 system. I have a Denon AVR-789 and ran the Audyssey Auto Calibration and it did wonders for sound in my Blu-Ray movies and most of the other games I tried, but Killzone 2 sounds really screwed up.

For example, in the campaign at the very beginning when you wake up and follow Garza out into the hallway the low frequency hum of the ship's internals is way too freaking loud (and my sub is tuned fine for other content), and once I follow him into the main part and see Rico talking to the scientist woman (can't remember her name) I can barely hear them speaking out of the front speakers and certainly can't make out the conversation, but if I turn around so that they're behind me they come out crystal clear out of my surround speakers. If I turn off the MultiEQ function of my receiver (that does the Audyseey DynamicEQ stuff) it gets just a little bit better, but not enough that the whole thing still sounds funky.

The entire front stage of the sound is completely subdued relative to the surrounds, has anyone else noticed this? This doesn't seem to be a problem on Uncharted or Flower or Burnout or some other games I've tried.

Yeah, im replaying the single player campaign and the dialogs soundd weird with cut offs and such
Oddly i dont remember this issue on my first playtrough

 

[RoboPlato]

Since the last patch I haven't been able to skip the CG intro right away anymore. It makes the sound it usually does but I have to wait until Visari's face is on screen before it'll go to the menu. This happened right after I downloaded the last patch and never happened before that. Does anyone else have this issue?

It's been explained many times in the thread already.

Sony made them make the intro unskippable until after the logos were shown.

They patched it so you have to wait until both logos have been shown, probably some kind of policy they didn't stick to before and had to patch in.

Oh, sorry. I haven't been keeping up with this thread so well. I've been really busy with classes. Thanks for letting me know.

LOL, it's not an "issue."
SCE made GG force people to have to read their "Sony Computer Entertainment" and GG logo before you're allowed to play the game... since you know, all (SCE-published) games have this requirement.

This thread is so serious. All this 'discussion' n stuff. Lighten the mood a bit.

What music do you guys play when youre online. I know some people say its distracting but if you have it low enough its just kinda of a nice background.

Dark Knight soundtrack (perfection)
Cirque Du Soleil - Ka (youd be surprised how well this works)
Gladiator soundtrack
Friday night lights soundtrack
The cinematic Orchestra

Ive heard many things about FFO bacon ramblings but the one time I was one his team he was whispering. It was somewhat erotic to be honest.

I suppose there was a child around or something or other.

Weekend evenings can be a little quieter with GAFe but it's very rare to not find a least one of us on, think i've not been on 4-5 evenings at most since launch.
Are you in the clan or have any of us on your friendslist? Feel free to add me if you want

or if you're not already a clan member, either myself or one of the other officers can send you an invite.

The sexual tension between those two is electric! I'm sure they could set up a phone sex line and make a ton of cash with their whispering love talk:lol

just played a couple hours of around 8 GAFA guys and 8 GAFe guys with TTP's hardcore settings. Pretty fun, really makes me think Valve should hire some of the GG guys to make CS2 or something

I like how Fersis joins the majority GAFA team and first thing he does is runs up to where our team is about to plant in Search & Destroy, and before he sees them he throws a grenade and team kills a whole squad up there hehe (wasn't on purpose but still hilarious as I was right around the corner and saw that grenade fly by).

My fav song when it comes to playing :

Men Without Hats - Pop Goes the World

buhahahaha

 

[TTP]

TTP came up with the idea, probably after reading my huge post back on page 501, where I said I wouldn't mind it if KZ2 had no class system and just made all weapons available (minus rocket/grenade launchers) and used the Rifleman (or some generic soldier class with character customization) instead.

Kinda. My idea of the perfect KZ2 hardcore mode (which I posted here a long time ago) was a no-respawn set up, with every soldier (no classes, just normal dudes) equipped with the revive gun and every weapon available to them.

But of course it's not as simple as that. Game modes have to change drastically. New ones introduced, built around the no-respawn rule. An escort mission for example.

Basically, all I want is to merge SOCOM with KZ2. Same game modes. 1st person view (with lean and peak). Awesome graphics and sound. Am I asking too much? COD4 really hit the nail on the head by offering both free and no-respawn game modes.

For now, the closest we can get to that is this "back to the basics" Hardcore set up.

Of course 16 players games in small maps are still broken, albeit less clusterfuck'ish. I'll make two separate Hardcore games next time. Large (16 players in big/medium maps) and Small (8 players in small maps).

The hardcore games were pretty good. Way better than I expected.

yo, any feedback on Vekta Cruiser? Have heard great things about Wasteland Bullet but not much about the former.

Had a good time playing with you guys this afternoon. The GAFe clan is a lot friendlier than the GAFa clan. I think it just has something to do with the fact that you're European, though. I'm American and usually when I get paired up with someone from Europe I have a friendlier time online. Sorry for the generalization but it seems a lot of Americans online (and some on the GAFa clan) need to chill a little bit, or learn how to uhh ... communicate their feelings a little better.

By that do you mean last night when I was telling the other tactician on my team to fuck himself up his fucking ass? I was trying to put it nicely since EVERY ONE of his spawns was facing the wrong direction. I think GAFe is probably friendlier when all of them have been playing the game for awhile now and know how to complete objectives, everybody is in the right jobs, you don't have to worry about spawn points being wrong and they travel in packs so it's easier to be all giggly and shit, GAFA right now people just kind of play the way they want, losing games is frustrating, at least for me.

Well I was playing with you for the first time the other day and you I had revived you because you were down and you were like: "you're a fucking idiot man.

Ohh yea :lol I remember I wasn't really mad or anything I was just frustrated a bit. No one wanted to play tactician if I remember correctly so I try and kill myself twice once I screwed up :lol the second time you revived me and I had no grenades left :lol BTW that is just how I talk. I'm always swearing so anything I say sounds aggressive and like I'm pissed off. Watch play more games with me and you shall see my ways young padawan.

Edit: Another reason was that I kept repeating don't revive me over and over again.

I'm like what the fuck you fucking idiots etc... That is the only way I found that peopel actually listen. BTW if enough people are interested and online I can set up a GAF game later on tonight.

Now that we got our Dr. Phil moment out the way--Thank god its over-- lets talk best and worst GAF players. Anyone whose played with AJ knows hes a little decent. And then there is live_Feed who will charm you off your feet with his british accent in order to only distract you to gain an easy kill on yah. But fuck me if I could ever really understand what he is trying to say with his British language. But who do yall think is by far the worst, the chump of all chumps that dies by the dozen. Fersis gets honorable mention for his 4 player teamkill suicide.

I would mention CJ but he took one for the team tonight by being squad leader... You lucked out haha.
