Still in a 16 player game you can have 11 vs 5 which happened just then :lol
And I thought we were supposed to be able to switch mid game if team is unbalanced? Lince & I tried then but we couldn't?

So i start up my Killzone 2 and i get a message something like this:
'The latest update has been founded : 0.00':lol
I sart downloading and instead of saying the name of the download it says the name of the package like :UP9000-BCUS98116_00-DKILLZONE2000001-A0127-V0101-PE.pkg
Ok... BCUS98116 its Killzone 2 BluRay ID ... A0127 V0101 is the build .. but what UP9000 and PE means?
Just being curious.

Ok, the controls are MILES better now, finally finished the game, that end section is still a bitch though.

Man, I know it's a weird world, but I have a few buddies who play this game religiously but don't do the board thing and they are both considering quitting over the spawn thing. They say every game turns into a camp fest. I totally get what people here are saying about that being abused before, but wow do they hate it :lol

The spawn fix was badly needed. Tell them to spawn on a squad leader.

Umm...I installed the update and my game won't boot up. The PS3 isn't frozen, because I can still access the XMB and such. All I see is a black screen. :\
Anyone else? Granted I don't have a proper retail copy like everyone else. I have a 100% complete pre-retail disc, it's basically the full game playable on any PS3, just doesn't have a graphic slapped on the top of the disc. But it's worked perfectly fine before with all of the other patches.

I just finished it too! New controls made me want to try again. I quit at the last section months ago becuase I died several times. I never bothered to go back to finish because i've been busy with work and college. For some reason my checkpoint was further back from when I left off last. Regardless, I finished the end part just now and only died twice.fizzelopeguss said:

That's odd...almost looks like you downloaded a package file that can only be read by debug PS3s. :\

Go to the Factions tab on the spawn screen, and you should see the option there to switch faction. You have to be dead, though, you can't switch if you're alive and in the game. Also, don't forget you can only switch if you're on the team with the larger number.
EDIT: Hopefully people will create more games with Faction Balance on now that you can join the same faction as your friends, join persistent squads etc. On a similar note, I really hope people create more games with Assault and Rockets turned on after the latest patch, now that Assaults have less armour and people can't abuse spawn point invincibility... the original purpose of the Assault is attacking well-defended mission objectives, so it does give a bit of an advantage to defenders when people exclude this class.

ahhh you have to be dead! That makes sense, should have realised that.
Auto Balanced games are definitely the way to go now. You can play with your friends and it's balanced. None balanced games just stack the teams automatically now as it sticks all your friends on one team.

KZ2 and U2b tonight, definitely.I'm gonna play inFAMOUS now that I'm home. Yeah, really addictive.
So what's the verdict on the assault "re-balancing"?
I've seen a few posts on the official boards saying how it's now completely balanced and should be unbanned in games (couple of guys even complained it's now underpowered - lol).
To me 50 less armor doesn't seem like that big a chance and I think they would still be overpowered with boost and 125% health recharge.
I haven't played with 1.27 yet, so I can't make a definitive comment, but would you guys start unbanning Assault? I don't know if I would. I sort of got used to playing without boost and I think the game is better off without it.

Wow, good news! I'll give it another shot then
The game plays alot faster now that the assaults have less health and the spawns are no longer invulnerable, also the high sensivity thing makes people go down faster when I shoot at them, even without dialing up the x-sensivity it's faster than my regular turning speed, doesn't seem to help my game much though. I went like 46-23 in the last game I played, I pretty much play exactly the same way.
Just played a quick round of skirmish 1.27 to check out the high precision. To be honest, I didn't feel much difference. I do play with pretty low sensitivities though (X+3, Y+4) so I guess I wouldn't feel the change as much. Probably helped the transition that I also haven't played regularly in weeks.

Man, the airbots are AWESOME now. :lol
Playing as ISA in Tharsis Depot, I throw out spawn grenades at the opposite end of the Helgast base. Just right next to the open doorways facing the ISA base. Then I place airbots and I just murder people. Getting a lot of kills with the airbots. :lol :lol
P.S. It wasn't so fun during Radec. Bastards kept placing C4 and hiding near the spawn points. My team got our asses kicked. I try placing spawn grenades near enemy activity, but still a distance like on stairways.

Turrets are too powerful now IMO. They deal sick damage and take an absurd amount of damage to kill. Before turret placement required straegy and some skill, now it's just place and forget. Also the Air bots should do about the same DMG as their doing now imo but move the health back down a bit, their much better at tragetting etc, and that should stay for sure.
And I still say that having a proximity restriction for spawn grenades would have been the best way to go versus just removing invinsibility.

Yeah airbots are too strong now. GG should keep their damage up but reduce their health a bit. Also, there should be a second or two of invincibility after being revived by a medic. It's a joke when you get revived and you're guy stands up facing a corner and you don't even have time to turn around before you're dead.Zen said:
Having said all that the game does feel much improved since the patch.

However turrets were tweaked to be less effective at targetting Airbots than they were previously. The airbots now having a much larger area of manuvering relative to where you've placed the emmiter. Those Sentry are everywhere now and just when you start shooting them they take off and reposition themselves in this crazy angle. The increased evasion/mobility is great, they just feel a little over powered in the health department.
But maybe this will justify the role of the Assault class now with the uber DMG/Health of the turrets/airbots (and this might ultimately make a better game). I liked being able to take out a turret 1v1 before, and I liked being an engineer and having to be smart about my turret placements. Not that you can just be stupid about it, but prior it required a certain amount of strategem that I did enjoy.
I still believe that proximity restrictions for S&D along with reducing the spawn invinsibility (instead of removing it) would have been better, but I could be wrong. You still get the same clusterfucks with S&D as you use to, just with faster deaths.

Game plays a lot better now.
You now fear the air bots. It takes time to kill them, and they can kill you. You now have to find cover from them. It really makes the air bot part of the tactics of the game now.
The controls with "high precision" mode do seem better for me. I find that I am more accurate with the default rifle.
The lack of spawn invulnerability is shocking at first, but it makes the game much better. You have to really think about where you place spawns. You better have protection for your spawn, be it walls, turrets, air bots or players. Also, be prepared for spawn camping, and placing spawns to flank said spawn camping.
Classes matter now. Tacticians are more important than ever, and supporting classes work better now. Medics are needed to keep bases full of living team mates be it in a offensive or defensive roll. Engineers are needed to protect or defend spawn points with turrets. The lack of spawn invincibility makes the game more even, and tactical.
Great patch.
