Support NeoGAF

[AranhaHunter]

I don't believe so - all the badges and abilities will be unlocked for you to try out in Skirmish, but you'll still have to earn them online (and all the trophies that go with them). I don't think you can earn any trophies through Skirmish mode.

That sucks :/

 

[TheFatOne]

gg GAFA guys

 

[alr1ght]

I wuz in GAF, not 3. GAF > GAF3. Blew my mind.

[TheFatOne]

[dwin45]

So is that new patch coming out today then?

 

[tiddles]

So, motherh is back from holiday, kicking ass and taking names:

We found a bug a little late in testing that needed to be fixed, so had to find it, fix it and start the submission process again. Anything we give out to the public has to be tested to a certain degree of quality and any change you make to that package means testing has to start from the beginning, even if you only added a full-stop somewhere. The patch is fine now and we're looking to release it this week still. of course we would have liked to have had it out already when promised, but I think most of you will agree that you'd rather want a clean patch, than us releasing it, finding the problem after release and scrambling to release a patch on top of that.

So currently looking at a release for Thursday. Will confirm that as we get closer though and nothing else is found. Oh and, nice to be back!

So, motherh is back from holiday

He should start to post here.

 

[Fersis]

He should start to post here.

Why you would want that? We have the superior and definitive GG posters here: Tiddles and Tempy. (And dont forgot Iain Howe!)

 

[mr_nothin]

Awesome...and to celebrate, I just had a Killing Spree of 22 kills
It was awesome.

 

[tiddles]

He should start to post here.

I believe he once referred to NeoGAF as "that hive of scum and villainy..." (not true)

 

[TheFatOne]

Sorry about the last game guys. I was just too tired. I could have one it at the end but I couldn't focus so my bad.

 

[ouchx100]

You guys do GAF matches? Sign me up!

I just got the game so im not so great yet but I enjoy trying

You gotta join GAFA or GAFe, speaking of which I still need to join GAFA :lol

 

[ouchx100]

You gotta join GAFA or GAFe

Where do I do this? Or maybe a better question is what are they? The GAF clans?

Sorry for being stupid.

 

[Andvary]

Yes, GAF America and GAF Europe. To join GAFA you have to ask kittonwy, GAFe I'm not sure.

 

[Kittonwy]

Sorry about the last game guys. I was just too tired. I could have one it at the end but I couldn't focus so my bad.

It was close though, my bad for losing that spawn, but then the other guy kept putting spawns up top that was in the middle facing the right side for some reason, maybe he didn't turn completely when he threw that spawn. We did pretty well for the most part.

 

[Lince]

The patch is live and the required server update is being done now to coincide with the patch, meaning the servers are down and thus the game stats will not be visible on www.killzone.com. Should all be go in an hour, but might be more like 2, knowing how long these things usually take. Going to go monitor the progress.


Seb Downie - Producer - Guerrilla Games

edit: seems like the patch is live everywhere now

 

[Dave1988]

Woot, patch! KZ2, here I come (again)! :lol

 

[Kittonwy]

NA server is down but patch is not up yet.

 

[MikeE21286]

so this "high precision mode" control option. Is this gonna be Call of Duty controls?

 

[ChryZ]

downloading... let's see how this precision aiming/ pseudo party system/ no spawn invincibility works

Impressions please!

 

[Facism]

Yes, GAF America and GAF Europe. To join GAFA you have to ask kittonwy, GAFe I'm not sure.

Raist is clan leader for GAFe.

 

[Lince]

1.27 Impressions (Skirmish mode, servers still down)

-High Precision controls:

HOLY SHIT!! well done Guerrilla! the dead zone has been tweaked so now you can track enemies even when they're running and small corrections to aim for the head are much easier now, the sense of "weight" is still there so the game still feels Killzone with the new controls, I can assure everyone will be using them from now on.

-Spawn invincibility

couldn't test it, tried to camp some spawns but GG probably tweaked the AI because bots weren't spawning there unless I turned my back to the spawns

-Air bots

much more aggressive now, watch out for them in maps like PR/SM

-Assault

well, 50% less armor, that's all

I concur... just a shame it took this long.

 

[TTP]

-Assault

Well, also, energy doesn't regenerate completely (plus some) either.

As for the controls, they totally removed the deadzone basically. As soon as the stick moves, so does the aim reticule. Had to tone down the sensitivity to compensate a bit the higher responsiveness. I like it. I feel more badass than ever (against bots at least )

 

[StefanTheMongol]

Wow, new contols make this game much better. Why were the controls not like this at launch? I can actually hit people! No more spray and pray.

 

[Lince]

Well, also, energy doesn't regenerate completely (plus some) either.

nice! we have a GAFe clan game today, we need to assemble and test all the new shit, specially spawn placing.

Will join as full tactician. Yep, air drones are useful now.

Time?

Edit: btw, getting back to KZ2 after almost a month is... OMG did it always look this good? So nice.

 

[aj2good4you2]

downloading patch for NA, this better be worth staying up for!

 

[Lince]

you're more than welcome back, here's the latest update on the clan game:

Versus: Better Than Halo
Teams: 8vs8
Time: Thursday, June 4th, 9:15PM BST.
Map: HI
VP: 1000

Rick can't make it, so we're actually 2 men down. Also, THE PATCH IS NOW LIVE so it might be an idea to practice a bit before the game to get a feel for it. This should be interesting .

btw, getting back to KZ2 after almost a month is... OMG did it always look this good? So nice.

remember this is the magical and awesome no-lag Skirmish mode :lol

 

[TTP]

U wont be disappointed.

 

[TTP]

you're more than welcome back, here's the latest update on the clan game:

Good. I'll join you later today for some practice. I definitely need some. I'm rusty :lol

remember this is the magical and awesome no-lag Skirmish mode :lol

:lol

Well, I'm just talking the looks. Coming from Uncharted 2 Beta, I'm still immensely impressed by the visuals (and sound).

 

[Wollan]

fuuu... realized I didn't bring KZ2 to my current location. Will have to wait a week. :/

 

[Lince]

Well, I'm just talking the looks. Coming from Uncharted 2 Beta, I'm still immensely impressed by the visuals (and sound).

Uncharted 2 beta is glorious, but maps are way too small, I've been playing a lot of U2b too and going back to KZ2 this morning on Salamun Market and PR was like holy shit this is what I call a map...

 

[furrygiblets]

Maybe it's time for me to get back into KZ2

 

[rSpooky]

damn.... time to come back I guess patch sounds good ( and I still need to get those new maps)

 

[Melfice7]

Damn its way too precise now i miss more xD

 

[ChryZ]

Good. I'll join you later today for some practice. I definitely need some. I'm rusty :lol

It'll be nice to see you on Killzone2 again.

 

[aj2good4you2]

not sure what to think about new controls, i have no problem killing guys with the old settings but im sure high precision will become the new standard so i think i might have to switch.

also what happened to the server info thats supposed to be in the patch, couldnt find anything like it.

 

[Lince]

also what happened to the server info thats supposed to be in the patch, couldnt find anything like it.

updated servers will be up shortly, then we'll find about the new server info and "party system" features

 

[Grayman]

anywhere i can see all the game changes since release? I haven't played since then, if a bunch is different it might interest me.

 

[tiddles]

also what happened to the server info thats supposed to be in the patch, couldnt find anything like it.

sorry guys, it appears it's not in this patch... it's something on the way, at any rate.

 

[Fersis]

Ill see you guys tonight then.

sorry guys, it appears it's not in this patch... it's something on the way, at any rate.

Are you guys thinking on adding a respawn limit option ? Like 3 respawns per player?
It would be too awesome.

lots of bolding = well done Guerrilla, too bad about server info... next patch hopefully!
and still no fix for the bodycount exploit... ???

 

[tiddles]

Are you guys thinking on adding a respawn limit option ? Like 3 respawns per player?
It would be too awesome.

I don't think there's anything like that planned at the moment, but you never know...

 

[Pallaris]

can someone explain why sometimes there's a spawn countdown timer and other times not... I know it's trivial but still.

 

[Facism]

Will join as full tactician. Yep, air drones are useful now.

Time?

Edit: btw, getting back to KZ2 after almost a month is... OMG did it always look this good? So nice.

You're playing with us again?

Wish i could make the game tonight
