I love how the bolts for the boltgun used to be physical pieces you could actually walk on, really hope GG uses that kind of stuff for KZ3.

Tempy, why is there no toggle option for crouching?

I don't think there is for MP either, but I'd have to double check.
Hey everyone, first post but I've followed this thread and the unofficial one (clown porn!) since the beginning
I'd just like to say i'm not too keen on the DLC model guerilla is following. I would prefer many maps in a single DLC purchase. i imagine it would also be healthier for the community (less fragmented user base). i got the first map pack when it came out and i NEVER see those in rotation. but i'm sure this topic has been beaten to death and back so...
anyway, got this game at launch yet i've only unlocked up to sab in MP mode. Guess i spend way too much time replaying the SP campaign!

Yeah, but the main issue is that the sticks are quite fragile and when clicked repeatedly, they become loose.Tempy said:

I wasnt saying you had to hold L3 in Killzone, just stating it in comparison to alot of other shooters/developers that are mapping their controls in the same obnoxious way.
It doesnt go well with the DS3's analog stick.
I remember my old PS1 Dualshock was a fucking disaster after playing Ape Escape a few years back. Any controlller configuration, that requires you to hold down one of the analog sticks to execute and/or keep executing an action, is really knocking down a few good points of your DS3's lifespan.

You don't have to keep it held down in COD4. Just click and then push forward.

I mistook it for Bad Company. Its a been a while since I played both.
But I stand by my point, L3 for running is a fucking annoying.

I don't even think you can set it like that...you might just be holding it of your own accord :lolsun-drop said:
From playing for a while yesterday, I got myself in the top 3000 this week. If I put in half that time today, I might make the top 1% for the first time.
I'm probably the only person with over 30000 points that's never made the last valor rank >_<

At first the C4s were frustrating to me because I was scattering them all over the place, but when I finally started putting all 3 of them in a v-shaped pattern then I got plenty of kills pretty easily.
So Killzone 2 has sold around (within a few k either way) 750 000 units in America. I'll side step the 'It should have sold more' statement (or not: I think it deserves twice as many sales at this point). Either way, I could see it hitting 850k if not 900-950k before the end of the year. I guess one good thing about the 80gig bundle is it's going to mean more people trying Killzone 2, and hopefully growing the fanbase for the inevitable Killzone 3.
This is the first FPS I've ever tried to play on a console and.. uh, it turns out I'm not very good with the whole dual analog stick thing. I've been playing FPSers with a mouse and keyboard for nearly fifteen years, so I have to say trying to play this game with a gamepad has been an incredibly frustrating experience. Is there a way I can connect my computer's usb mouse/keyboard to work with this game?
Bought this game at launch (UK) and still haven't gotten past the 1st level. Im usually a keen FPS player but I just cant seem to get into the game at all and im disappointed that ive pretty much missed the multiplayer boat as well. Dont want to trade the game in without giving it a fair shot but I just cant get my head around the Dualshock to control FPS after being spoiled by the 360 pad.
Anybody know if that cross battle adapter (360 pad on ps3) is a legitimate option or is it just another poor piece of hardware failing to live up to its promise?

Play a little further, once you get used to the controls you'll see there's nothing wrong with them.
highluxury said:
Yeah I guess I really should but its not the actual Killzone 2 controls that are the problem (a little weight never hurt anybody) but more the PS3 pad itself. I think ive just become more accustomed to using triggers to fire and for some reason it seems like there's a rather large deadspot on the ps3 analogs but that might be because they haven't been fully broken in yet.
I had the same problem with resistance as well in that I find performing really small movement on the analog sticks a problem for the fine aiming.
Shogun PaiN said:
There are plenty of people that can switch between game pads. This shouldn't be a large roadblock whatsoever, as after maybe an hour or so of playtime you should be able to adjust. Deadzones shouldn't be a problem as I believe the DS3 is more sensitive.
If it's really an issue, there is even a dongle that allows you to play your 360 pad on your PS3.

Community is very much alive and i seriously doubt that it'll die until KZ3 comes out.
Regarding your worries about getting owned - join a room which can't be joined by more than 16 players. Anything more than that and there are going to be serious clusterfucks where you WILL get owned.
Also, Killzone 2 is infinitely more fun to play with people you know. If none of your friends have a PS3/KZ2, add someone from GAF. Just being able to play with someone in a squad, while talking to him/chatting on text chat, really makes a huge difference IMO.
Yeah the community seems to have leveled out now, it's very active and you never have a problem finding a game (unless you're looking to play a specific DLC map or two). I think both this week and last week were steady at about 130k unique log ins for Killzone 2 Multiplayer.
Not to mention that MGS4/Killzone 2 80 gig bundle will probably help keep the player base steady for some time to come.
I was playing Beachhead last night and I just really wish Guerilla had been smarter about the DLC arrangement, although it was probably out of their hands to a certain extent as I'd iamgine Sony would call shots on pricing.
I'd much rather that they released these map packs for $1.99-$2.99. beachhead is a great map but you can rarely get a good game going on it for abvious reasons. Worse yet is taht because everyone knows taht the DLC maps aren't bought by enough people to garantee play over a month after release, that fewer people will be them.
The community would probably be decently more active (and generate a greater positive WOM which could create more sales) if the maps were free.
Oh well, hopefully 3 months after Guerilla has finished with the map packs they will release an incredibly discounted combo pack for $1.99 or make all the DLC $1.99, or, y'know, make it all free (I wish!).

The issues with the map packs would go away if only GG had made a matchmaking system that standardizes everything.
Then you could simply select a 'new map playlist' and it would automatically match you with others that own the new maps.
As it stands now, most people that own the new maps don't play them because others haven't created active games for it.
It's a shame how the new map system is so fundamentally broken.

I bought the Flash and Thunder pack on the weekend and I'm very impressed. Played my first online game on the Beach map and there wasn't a single framerate drop. I didn't know what to expect after hearing complaints about it. Granted it was a 5 vs 5 game.
Is the Gaf clan still alive? I would like to play with people who have headsets and talk.

Just back into it after a long break before the big patches and I really like it even more than before. Didn't get too rusty as I was able to get the assault class and tact in a couple hours time. I didn't have a problem with the controls back then but now I really don't have any after high precision. :lol

I hate that map simply because I always feel like im near death, the constant thunder flashes make everything seem black and white (which the map pretty much is anyway), plus it's so hectic with the rain pouring and all. Lovely map but it's kind of annoying as a gameplay experience.Bearillusion said:

After playing almost exclusively tactician for the longest time (can't stand being at the mercy of other people's spawn points), I finally tried saboteur to unlock the C4 and DAMN is the StA 14 godly. It's biblical. I'm surprised most sabs favor that awful SMG over it.
