Don't mind if I do. BTW Click I have been meaning to ask you something. You want to help me out with spawn points? I am trying to figure out where are the best places in the different maps, and since you were our best tact I thought about asking you.

Fersis dies a little inside whenever someone trolls R2. Don't do that to him!

I just need 9000 more points for top rank. *phew* I've caught up to Lince but he's still ahead.

Its not the R2 trolling that kills me, its the fact that no one can like two games of the same genre... Street Fighter OR The King of Fighters, Resistance or Call of Duty, KZ2 or Halo,
Prototype or inFAMOUS.
Looks like if you like a game YOU HAVE to bash another. :/

Don't mind if I do. BTW Click I have been meaning to ask you something. You want to help me out with spawn points? I am trying to figure out where are the best places in the different maps, and since you were our best tact I thought about asking you.

First of all, you need to learn how to toss the spawn grenade in such a way so that when you and your team respawns, they won't be flanked from the sides or from behind. So always try to throw the grenades towards a wall. The more sides the wall has, the better.

Time and space your grenades out. I don't have a stop clock or anything when I play Tact, but I've played it so much, I developed an innate ability to estimate quite precisely when the grenades are about to fizzle out. Try to hide somewhere close to where you want to throw your next spawn grenade, prior to when you think your first grenade will run out, so you don't die and have to run back to that spot again.

Sometimes it's good to NOT respawn so you can keep track of which spawns are up. Meaning, if you have 2 spawns up already just look at your respawn map and respawn as soon as 1 of your grenades run out. This is a good way to regain your "rotation" if you've lost track of your grenade timing

Knowing when your spawn grenades are about to run out is very important great Tacticians need to constantly keep track of. This is what generally separates a mediocre / good Tact from a "great" one. You need to constantly have 2 spawn grenades going unless...

Unless it's time for a new mode to begin. In which case, you should save a grenade for that new location. I generally only have 1 spawn grenade up for Assassination because they don't last long.

Then of course, you need to know where good spawn spots are for every map and every mode. This comes with a lot of practice and experience. Experiment with different spots until you find your favorite spots to throw your spawn grenades out. I have specific spots for all maps and game modes that I PREFER to toss grenades at. However....

It's important to be able to adapt to the playstyle and spawn grenades of the OTHER team. If they have a spawn out, try to find out which direction they are facing when respawning. Then place your grenade behind the direction they are facing so you and your team can easily flank them when they respawn. If you and your team is always facing their back, they need to turn around and waste their 2 second invincibility advantage, while you still have yours.

During Cap & Hold, try not to place your spawn grenade near another team's spawn grenade. If they have an area locked down, move to another Cap area and throw your grenade there. Doing this will usually help your team win Cap & Hold, unless of course, the other team also has a great Tact and is able to keep 2 spawns at 2 different locations at all times. Which then requires your team to have more skills in order to win in this game mode.

During S&R, I try to put 1 spawn near each of drop off areas (defense and offense). You need to keep both up so that your team has options to either defend or attack. This could be difficult on certain maps because you need to somehow make it back and forth, without getting killed.

Boost should always be your secondary skill, because you know, Boost is fucking broken and overpowered. It gets you to where you need to be as a Tactician as quickly as possible. If Boost isn't available, well, then use whatever secondary you like / are good with. I prefer med packs and C4 if Assault is turned off.

Finally, you cannot be afraid to die or worry about your K/D ratio too much. A great Tactician needs to be suicidal. You have to rush into an enemy's stronghold constantly and like I've said in another post before, GG was retarded for making you pop up on enemy radar when you throw a grenade out. Therefore, you will most likely be outnumbered if you're doing your "job" correctly. However, being suicidal doesn't mean you need to play like a retard and constantly die for no reason, lol.

Well, there's probably a few more things I forgot to mention, but these are basically all the important things you need to be able to do in order to become a great Tactician.

I like many games in the same genre. It's just sometimes people can only buy 1 and want to convince themselves they've made the right choice or that their opinion is the right one. In R2's case I think it's just genuine disappointment in the game. Rather than having to bash it due to liking something else. I still LOVE R:FOM despite loving KZ2 as well.

You know a best of GAF A+e clan I'm sure would dominate this game easily if we were organised.... shame about the time zones.

Time zones isn't the problem. In fact, it's a pro rather than a con that we can play on opposite times of the day.... if there was a merge.

What the real shame is the massive amount of flaws in MP and clan games. Clan games could be a lot of fun and get very intense. But due to exploits, lag, glitching, and every other complaint we've listed time and again, it's pointless to be competitive clan in this game.

Just watched the new MP map trailer for the first time.

Looks awesome, not that I didn't expect that though.

The time zones would be a problem if we were going to make a "best of" clan to compete seriously but as you, I and many others have stated competitive clan play in this game is a joke.

 

[Click]

I'll explain it in a PM.

But basically, it has to do with a certain anonymous mod having a problem with my posts regarding the 24/7 anti-Christianity / anti-religion bashing going on in the "Off-topic" section.
So he/she thought it'd be cool/funny to give me tags, misrepresenting my position on the issues.

 

[test_account]

Any map with intermittent environmental hazards is, in my opinion, awful. However, that doesn't seem to be the consensus as a lot of gaffers, for reasons unknown, enjoy Wasteland Bullet which not only houses intermittent environmental hazards, is also a horribly designed map.

The enviormental hazards in the Wasteland Bullet map arent really that "dangerous" (or what i shall say though, at least in my opinion I mean, these envoirmental hazards are dangerous in the way that they kill you at once if you get hit by them, but they arent really that dangerous in the way that it shoould be relatively easy to avoid them.

After the "poles" (or what they are) between the trains have passed, it will take something like 10 seconds (i think?) before they next poles comes, which should be enough time to jump between the two trains without getting hit by the poles. The lights in the roof moves at one line if i am not mistaken, and once you know where this line goes, it shouldnt be too hard to avoid the lights.

But sure, in a middle of a fire fight it might now always be easy to pay attention the enviormental hazards, and another hazard is to jump too short so you will fall between the trains. The envoirmental hazards in the Wasteland Bullet map might also have looked more annoying in the gameplay trailer as well, but in general the envoirmental hazards in the Wasteland Bullet map shouldnt be too hard to avoid, at least in my opinion

But i understand if someone doesnt like enviormental hazards in maps, i am not a huge fan of enviormental hazards myself, but i think that the evoirmental hazards in the Wasteland Bullet map worked out ok at least And i am looking forward to see out how the nuke envoirmental hazard will work out. I think that it looked pretty cool in the gameplay trailer at least

I would guess the nuke in the new map wont be too hard to avoid either. Maybe it is possible to see when it comes several of seconds in advance or something, but we will see how it turns out

EDIT: I added some text.

Fun game last night guys :lol But yeh the team stacking is bullshit. It was even at the start then everyone just joined one side. They should only let ppl choose sides at the beginning after that it should auto balance on every game. It wont change stacking of teams at the beginning but at last you can shout at ppl to change sides. urgh so many small issues that stop this game being as good as it should be. Had fun last night tho! Was hilarious.



:lol Yes, this happened!

That's a freakin disgrace.

 

[Kittonwy]

Sorry for my recent absence guys. My wife has been staying up later, so I am not on as much (plus the awesome inFAMOUS demo). I should be able to get on tonight in a bit, so some of you bastards better be on!

I haven't been on either but I've been busy, I expect everybody in GAFA to be better at this game when I get back tonight.

 

[KZObsessed]

That's a freakin disgrace.

It didn't actually happen...

lulz, stop backtracking FFO. You guys were crying over your mics at how close it was. Anytime, anywhere I'll take you all on again.

I'm just that hardcore.

I certainly hope not.

[CrushDance]

Can we please leave the soon to be religion trolling out of Thrillzone?

Thanks.

 

[careful]

We've been complaining about team balancing/stacking from the time the game was released. If stacking is still permitted in the upcoming patch, I might not come back at all regardless of what else is in there. This is one of my biggest issues with the game and I can see absolutely no logic whatsoever behind this design decision.

Not Killzone 2 but Killzone still.

Man i dunno, I love playing this game online..
Ive had shitty days & sweet days,
Awful games & awesome games,

BUT... ALL OF THAT IS FAR OUTWEIGHED BY THE MAJORITY OF AWESOMENESS =D

Again playng with the gaffers make this game even sweeter, i wish i was as good as some of you guys lol.
Just a heads up, when inFAMOUS comes out i wont be around for a few days for sure lol.

Oh and why like 2 months later i find myself really enjoying being a sniper.
Tact will be my main always but oh shit sniping is fun lol.

its been the past week for me, every time I've attempted to play, its been radically unbalanced teams, where the small team spends most of their spawns trying to destroy enemy turrets.

I almost broke a controller just now.
