Killzone 3 Patch 1.09 coming June 2nd
Some notable updates
Patch 1.10 is also coming but no date on it yet. Early list looks very promising though
It's great to see GG not only fixing bugs and exploits but actually improving the game by adding custom soundtracks back and XMB presence data. Again they are proving they listen the their fans (the ones that stick around) and actually implement changes they feel will improve the game.
BTW I got an invite to the GAF chat yesterday and invited Patsu to it, not sure if you joined though. If anyone else wants to get together for KZ3 action then PM me or PSN me.

I have been playing KZ3 whenever I can. I"ll play whenever anyone wants to. It's a fun game. PSN is same as user name here
Been playing with move for a few months now. It's really good but sometimes it feels like a hassle calibrating it when I turn it on. When you get good with it though you find it hard to go back to the DS3.
Will probably play during the week so keep an eye on this thread guys if you want to get together. Probably a monday or tuesday.

Marksman nerf... lol, 5 months too late I'm afraid.
also, public custom games? nope, we get custom music instead... great.
improved clan support and features? nope, but we get updated loading screens... yeah.
wake me up when they patch in spawns on squad leaders at the very least.

What's the point of patching in Presence Data when the critical mass of players that can be used as marketing instruments has long been lost?
Also, does MP3 support suggests XMB memory footprint reduction or engine optimization? Or maybe a little bit of both?

Just popped back on playing this last night... I missed it.
Mortal Kombat has taken up my time but I want to get this thing back into me.

My guess is that they had to rush the game out and they had a bullet point list of things they were going to implement in the game and presence data just happened to be very low on that list. Maybe they had to remove features before shipping to QA so it would pass and they could get it out on time and it isn't until now that they've been able to resubmit this stuff through a patch. And since it's possibly something they had already written, why not throw it in now. Maybe Tempy could tell us, if he still likes us.

I finally got the platinum trophy in Killzone 3 the other day. I thought it would be harder to get, but I thought it was easier than Killzone 2. Now all I need to do is buy the Steel Rain map pack when the PSN store comes back so I can have full 100%.
Also, that's great news about patch 1.09 and 1.10.

I play exclusively with the Move. I've only played a tiny bit of multiplayer with the DS3. I just prefer to play with the Move. It still kind of takes me we a while to get used to the uneven map of Phyrrus Crater, but it's not that bad now. I'm not that great at the multiplayer, I wouldn't be that great with the DS3 either. But, eh, I have fun, and that's what counts.sajj316 said:
Played the demo of this last night and it just confirmed how 'meh' I am towards games in general lately.
The graphics are absolutely immense, the animations, the game world, just incredible... the shooting felt tight and responsive and it had many set pieces thrown in to ensure it never became monotonous, but it did, and very quickly too. So quickly in fact I never even came close to completing the demo
Did anyone else experience something similar with this game? Impressed but just feeling complete apathy towards it with no motivation to carry on?

I bought it on release, appreciated the visuals and animations but found the rest of it entirely average and meh. I thought it was one of the dullest first person shooter experiences I'd had in a long time, and this confused me because I though Killzone 2 was decent enough. I struggled to even finish the campaign, let alone play more than five hours of the multiplayer, which was just as broken as Killzone 2.blizeH said:Played the demo of this last night and it just confirmed how 'meh' I am towards games in general lately.

When patch 1.09 came out, it also brought more trophies for new DLC called something like Ashes to Ashes. Besides that, I got the Steel Rain map pack yesterday, and I really like how both maps look. I was able to get into a match with a decent amount of people in the Stahl Arms map, but there were few in The Junkyard map. I was also able to get two trophies in The Junkyard. I really like how both maps look.
According to the blog post, the Welcome Back redemption expires on July 3:

You might want to get it before then.

Looks like there's even more old maps getting ported over. New DLC (From The Ashes) in the trophy list showing Radec Academy & Tharsis Depot, along with Mobile Factory and Lente Missile Base. Looks like they found out all the KZ3 maps are trash so they had to take some from the last game.

Radec Academy... no...no.. noooooooooooooooooooo
alr1ghtstart said:
I wonder in how many ways they are going to break those popular maps with the TSPs placement... as long as they don't add spawn on SL (at the very least) the game will always remain broken to me, interesting that 5 months later they're nerfing the Marksman class and porting KZ2 maps over, desperate moves indeed to try and sell some DLC with MW3 and BC3 around the corner. I can already see two EXOs in the middle of the Radec Academy plaza.
Also I guess Radec will be a Guerrilla Warfare (AKA boring mode) map only...
Indeed !

Although we don't really need a public server list right ? Just specify the custom game search criteria...

Do all you do is complain? Think we got the idea that you hate what they did with KZ3, don't need to hear it in every single post. It's done it's over. Even if they give you what you want, you still complain.
awesome, glad you're enjoying it. I also had some really good times playing KZ3 with Pwonager until really late in the night / early morning for 230+ hours, then I noticed I'd had enough and that KZ3 was never going to feel as good as 7v7 banned assault/boost/rockets KZ2.
huh? complains? that was months ago and we were very vocal about it, but we have already moved on. That post you're quoting is just me wishing Patsu luck to find enough people and have fun with KZ3, what was wrong with that? ah well.

to be honest it's just the vastly different approach from KZ2 to KZ3, the spawns, the controls, the squad system, the custom games, the clan features, the gunplay mostly... not saying they're broken in KZ3 (those features that actually are in both KZ2 & KZ3) but just too far apart from what made KZ2 so great. I've had some really good fun playing KZ3, that's it, just a fun game for casual play.
Lince said:
Thanks for the info. I thought people would be complaining about stuff like getting brutal melee'd from 6ft away or how the marksman class fully upgraded seems a little over powered. Only played Warfare so far as I want to get the basics of the game down before jumping into the objective based play list. Have no real interest in FPS campaigns anymore.

They both had issues, but the MP of both KZ2 and KZ3 seem to feel very different from each other.
And yea Marksman are ridiculous. Why they gave a class that can go invisible and meant for sniping an assault rifle is beyond me.

unfortunately the DLC is region locked, so you'll need the UK version of the DLC for your copy

They have promised a nerf for the Marksman class for next patch... but they didn't say how (removing the Sta-52 from their loadout? implementing a time limit for the cloak ability? maybe it will just something related to the radar jamming, nobody knows...), anyway I really think it's already too late for this, they got plenty of feedback about the overpowered Marksman class during the different betas, Guerrilla Games' guys are sometimes a bit too much stubborn.
You can talk about patches all day, but I honestly do not know what GG could do to fix what is becoming one of the worst online player bases I have ever encountered. And that is saying something having spent so much time with the morons that play Halo and Call of Duty.
People will go into Warzone matches and willingly ignore objectives for 20+ minutes, lose 6-1, or 7-0, and not care as long as they get to camp on TSP and ammo caches incessantly. Engineers seem to never even bother fixing the ammo caches, and to honest, I really cannot blame them. So many non-tacticians sitting around TSP instead of actually trying to attack or defend objectives.
Obviously some of this is GG's fault (TSP's were bad in the beta, they are even more of camper magnet clusterfuck now), but at this point they would have to introduce stuff that didn't even exist in KZ2 (like having Engineers just dole out ammo boxes a la Wolfenstein Enemy Territory) to counter some of the stupid shit people are doing. It's crazy how nearly every outdoor ammo cache has a super direct line of sight for somebody to snipe from inside overhead cover.
All I can say is thank god you no longer have to actually rely on medics to get a full health recharge and there is no friendly fire. The whole thing would be a mess with everyone constantly shooting at teammates that they think are infiltrators (which more or less neutralizes the infiltrator role outside of being useful to your team and sprinting to objectives and planting D-charges faster... which none of them do anyway).
But yeah even with squad spawning and fixing the ammo cache problem, it seems like half the people playing would still find new and innovative ways to completely ignore the objectives. I'm really looking forward to Battlefield 3 but part of me gets nauseous imagining how stupidly a lot of people will play it. The Call of Duty KD/R obsession cancer seems to be consuming everything.
As it is, the game is obviously not perfect. But it is good enough to deserve a better audience.

I use the Sniper/M66 anyway. It's not like you can't pick up an assault rifle if you really need one. Although if we're losing that gun, then I'd like a submachine gun, preferably silenced.
Played a few matches last night, still enjoy it in spurts. C4 <3.
Mooreberg said:
The answer is very simple. Why didn't you spawn as Engineer to fix the ammo crate yourself ? Repair a few and respawn as someone else. Going after the objective is not the only strategy. Sometimes, I would give up the current objective and anticipate the next ones.
For people camping on TSP, it usually means that the opposing team has many Tacticians trying to take over yours. I would spawn as Tactician to grab theirs or as Infiltrator to disrupt their spawns.
It's really up to you. If your team is outnumbered heavily, just quit and join another game. There are plenty out there.
Dibbz if for some reason you've been permabanned and happen to be reading this remember you asked me to transfer you the clan leadership since I wasn't playing KZ3 anymore... please transfer it back to someone else like patsu or user friendly so they can actually invite new members and stuff, whatever I don't care really, nvm, sry for the stupid post don't think he's reading.
