Bolt Gun and Flamethrower will be 2-3 more months of whining about balancing issues. As if we didn't get that enough with this game.

The more i look at the trophies, thee more i believe there's some coop element to it. It doesn't even follow the trophy list pattern of the other two packs. And killing fifty people in a round is not one to be achieved by many. That is, if they encourage spamming spawn points. COD has had success so i can't see why it would hurt.

I'm assuming they mean in one game. 50 kills in a Warzone game is no problem.

These constant gameplay changes are really beginning to bug me..

I really hope KZ3 isn't constantly updated like this. They've developed KZ2 for 4 years and I can't believe the multiplayer still needs 'fixing'. What the hell was that beta for?

To be fair, engine work started in 2006. But yea, please stop with the gameplay tweaks. Add for now on.

It takes time to figure out what works and what doesn't, for KZ2 there have been a ton of minor tweaks to try to make everyone happy, to me the game already plays extremely well even during the beta, airbot kills were really hard to come by until after the tweak when they basically became lethal, it's not easy to find a medium.

There are 1.3 million players on the leaderboard. You can deduce something from that I guess.

Patch sounds fantastic, but I can't buy this map-pack since I haven't bought any of them yet and thats going to be like £15+ for 6 maps when theres no doubt another 2 on the way to make it £20. I hope they announce a full bundle of all the maps at that point, because thats the only way most of the community is going to jump on and keep playing them all.

8 maps for £10-£12 would be agreeable to me.

Either way, new patch is everything I wanted fixed.

woah woah woah!!! everything we asked for and more!

I really don't mind patches at all, especially when it coincides with new DLC. I think an online game should always be evolving (think MMOs). FPS is no different, otherwise things get stagnant. Anyone play Counter-strike and remember all the changes? Yes there was a ton, and yes it made for a better game. Also it made it exciting to try out new stuff every couple months.

Air sentry bots toned down damage, as long as its stronger than pre 1.27, should be good. Medic gun blast finally going to look good? Hope it doesn't affect the framerate hah. Improved network performance = less lag, always a good thing.

What is a online moderator? Is it someone who can pop in games and ban people and random stuff like that? They can now create double point events, what does that entail? Awesomeness like - Kittonwy is on a 10 kill streak, double points for killing him? :p

Oh, I read it that Sentry meant the turrets, not the air-bots. I thought the air-bots had reached a level of usefulness but the ground turrets had their health and power raised way too high. Bummer if its both of them :(

Are people playing the new maps. I stopped playing this game to get into Red Faction: Guerrilla and now I'm playing BF1943 at the same time. Back when I was playing KZ2 most of the games I was playing didn't have the cruiser and train maps in the rotation unless I just played those two maps the whole time. This got boring since if I found a good group of players and wanted to stick with them, it would just be the two maps being rotated. I didn't get the last map pack so I don't know if the situation was different with that one. If people are playing them in the rotation with the old maps as well, I might have to break down and get both packs especially with the new search options.

I think GG is trying to please the whinners too much. They are being critized for pleasing the fans now. They should stop listening to all the little whinning posted on the boards I guess. The game plays really good after the last tweaks.

Its like damned if you do, damned if you don't . Give them a fucking break.


Feature - Additions of sounds in Battle Replays.

Thats awesome!! Really wish KZ2 had replay like the one they are doing for UC2. Well may be KZ3 will have it :).

Also GG/Sony plz do a $9.99 deal for a week for the all the map packs to reunite the community!

It's not a problem during long games, especially when you're playing with a good team against randoms, it's like shooting fishes in a barrel with a pew pew rifle.

Fuck yes to reduced airbot damage. It was fine when it first came out, but all the trophy whores complained.
Fuck yes to new loading screens (better be spawn grenade use)
Fuck yes to performace increases (no lag???)
Fuck yes to new game search

Eh to new maps (make them free dammit and people may actually play them. At least fix it so you can join a game (and become a spectator) if you haven't bought them.

They still need to fix the way "kills" get counted in game. 2 points for headshots and 1 point for bot kills completely screws up how many actual kills you have in game. Those extra points should be mission points, not kills. Bizarrely, the stats are correct on the battle replays (when they work).

I'll probably put Killzone 2 back in once the new patch hits. I like the look of the snow level, I just wish they delivered the DLC for free!

Yes, there are certain drives that do not work well with KZ2. It's probably more like an issue with those drives and the PS3 itself, but the only game I've had problems with is KZ2.

What size upgraded drives are you people using?

anyone?

I wonder if those detailed game info will be mirrored as filters options as well. It's cool to be able to check what a given game is all about, but having to do so for every single game that pops up on the list until you find the one that pleases you might end up being too much of a hassle.

Am I being anal enough? :p
