Things drop considerably after the first day though. Thats why people are worried because this game deserves all the sales it can get.GodofWine said:
It's actually hard to kill someone with a shotgun if your aim is even slightly off. The lack of spread makes it harder to just whittle down an enemy (or a group) with randomly spamming shots around. The shotgun does not make it easier to hit enemies, so it doesn't need any more gimping to compensate either (it already has sharply reduced damage at range). If your aim is good enough to consistently kill with a shotgun, your aim is also good enough to kill with any other weapon. People use the shotgun not because it's cheap (it isn't) but because the class they currently play doesn't have anything else.

Unless they headshot you with their shotgun from insane distances and get insta kill. Shot gun range is BS in KZ2. It should only be 1 shot kill up close not when you are some 10+ feet away.
Like 50% of the matches I played today had disabled the assault class, which should tell something about tweaks being necessary. I wish you could individually disable secondary badges as well, because boost is fucking stupid. Mostly because it makes the game look like some Benny Hill farce, actually... 
The boosting speed should be reduced, and it should drain health while running. Also, they have to do something about those running animations.

The shotgun whores always get me when I'm reloading. I think I'm reloading to much actually but I hate it when I'm just about to down a guy and I run out bullets and someone else steals my kill or my target kills me when attempting to reload. I know I can use the pistol, but I suck with it.
Killzone 2's A.I. is incredibly fun to fight against on Elite. They don't just do and take more damage, but their tactics are also superior. The Elite Helghast seem to put a lot more emphasis on their self-preservation, and will switch between cover points a lot more frequently and effectively to get into the best ideal spot. It's really neat to watch.

I was watching that show on Discovery where they show shit happen in super slow motion and they had a skeet shooter on. The guy was able to adjust the spread using a little nob or something--it really led to a much tighter spread on those pellets. Not sure about 30 feet, but it doesn't sound totally wild.

you were injured from other fire/grenade blast, i got a few people 30 ft from shotgun that way when playing engineer, but didn't work as well so i went back to magnum when not in corridors
Had one nice headshot on some guy boosting far away in Salamun Market with that pistol, stupendously satisfying.TheRagnCajun

You must have taken splash damage from something else, or headshot. It takes 2 shots with the M4 to kill someone.
No points for healing people but if you heal 5 people in a round you got a ribbon and do it 8 times , you ll get a medal and unlock something ...Justin Dailey said:
Placing spawn points is not a magic , choosing Tactician and throwing a grenade does not deserve extra point ... But you already have something if 10 people use your spawn point ; a ribbon ... Do it 8 times and you ll again take a medal and unlock something ...
Extra points for defending assasination target ? Maybe but how ?.. Circular area around target , and if you kill enemy in it you get extra points for defending ...
About running a squad ,something similar to spawn point can be alright ... If your teammates spawn at you 10 times , you get ribbon etc ... But I dont think it is neccesary ...
What's the point of extra points if your bombs do not explode ?.. I would agree if you say more points for exploded bombs ... It should be 12 points ...
I agree with " extra points for defused bombs " ... Come on , sometimes I sacrifice myself for it :lol ...
And what the hell was that " KZ2 hits 1 million pre-orders at Gamestop ALONE " shit ?.. 323K , total failure for Sony if you ask me ... I'm very happy with the game itself and I dont care sales as long as Sony delivers magnificent exclusives like this but I d like to see it sold more than a million ... And yes I know it is only 2 days of sale ...

Oh wow, I had a dream that the airbots were controllable by the tactician that summoned it as an option. It made killing with the bots a lot better, especially for the ribbons, but made the tactician a easy target MGS4 style. I hate when dreams seem so real, it was actually pretty cool.

You need to pace yourself, you've already played it for 80 + hours. Play something else in between or better yet get some clan games going. They're a lot of fun.
I'm not going to argue about whether it's the best for gameplay, but the range for the shotgun is more realistic than shotguns in most other games. Here's a chart I found for shotgun spreads at different chokes:
http://www.wildfowlmag.com/tips_strategies/shotgun_062304/
(Scroll down for the first chart)
Even with the widest spread choke, 80% of the pellets end up with a 30" diameter circle at 20 yards. That's even farther than what it is in KZ2.
With a narrow choke, you could fire a shotgun at 40 yards and get 70% within that same circle.

Yeah...to be honest...I want to play some MLB the Show...My current rank is 202/255,908 (0.08%). But I'm scared to stop playing because I get the feeling a ton of people are going to climb WAY up during the weekend. :lolThe Chef said:Know whats depressing - when you cant play all weekend cuz your out of town. But all you can do is look at killzone.com and see your rank slowly climb up..and up...and up while you are unable to play and defend your position.

after spending 2 days and 13 hours online, nope not at all. I AM BORED OF PUBLIC SERVERS however, which is why its so nice to come home and play an hour or 2 a day with clan members/friend list ppls. I mean its not really about unlocking stuff/gaining ranks anymore, more just about having fun with the game and getting your team to win. I've also spent maybe 10 hrs on single player (finished trooper, doing elite) and that's quite a good break from multiplayer (that and motorstorm 2 ^_^).

Don't iron sight with it. Has a decent amount of auto-aim on it, I've taken out quite a few people when I ran out of bullets and someone got the jump on me as I was reloading. Main thing is you have to get out of that thing that other shooters have conditioned you to: reloading after every kill. Other shooters where reloading is pretty much instantaneous make the transition to Killzone 2 a bit frustrating in the beginning. You really have to make sure you're clear from all directions and sit behind cover for a second while you reload.
