This OP deserves massive respect. Great job mate.
BTW, I was invited to the Killzone 3 launch event last night in Sydney, Australia. It was a fantastic event and I managed to win myself a copy of the game. Sadly could not win the limited Helghast edition

Don't know, they had it in New York and LA as well.
I was one of the 4 lucky inter-state winners. Sony paid for my hotel, travel, return airfare, food etc.

So it seems they're working on two new IP's.

So who's the random Helghast climbing up the icy cliff when the dropships fly by? It seems pretty weird that that guy was out there for no reason.
only 5 team deathmatch levels? pretty lame. combine that with matches that last 5 min and you get "bored of 5 levels quickly" syndrome.
also the retro map pack costing 5 dollars for levels we've already paid for? not buying that, hell no.
im all for top notch visuals but not at the expense of game content. this is as bad as halo reach.

I bloody hate the weapons and abilities available from the get-go, especially when others have unlocked a lot and many have the 24-hour-everything-unlocked pre-order bonus.

I'd like to basically swap x/o on the navcon with the triangle and square on the gun itself, feels more natural to use them. Maybe I can, I tried it out briefly last night after a few beers waiting for dinner, but it just felt clunky and seeing a ds3 layout in the control options without a move one available annoyed me a bit.

Also, why do they always give these ultra super special charge you through the roof editions dumb helmets? if they just included a well made replica ISA/Helghan rifle I'd actually buy it. It it was one that fired those little foam darts, even better. Unless of course the latter sacrificed the quality of the item.

You bet.
I wish they had some animation going on in the connecting screen for mp so that I would know whether or not my game has froze.
it only did it once but it caught me off guard and I sat there playing Tiny Wings for about 5 min before i noticed i wasnt going into a game.
Luckily you can hear people mics so if you got a heavy breather in your lobby listen for the heaving to know you're still connected.

Yes. They're just mp3s. I copied them out onto my PSP and my laptop after that. To recap how dumb this crap is: It took me like a minute or so to download the 150meg crap from PSN. It took me less than a minute to copy the soundtrack to other locations from the PS3. But it took a whooping 15 fucking minutes to do two installations just to unpack that garbage. *sigh*

First off.. anyone else having issues with killzone.com? Since yesterday I can not even get the site to pull up... humm seems like something only on my chrome.. firefox has no issues.
Ok on to the game.. was not a big fan of KZ2.. the single player was fun but online was not my cup of tea due mainly to the controls. After a couple games last night.. I am pretty much blown away by the MP so far in KZ3.. loving it. Hope it continues to grow on me.

My goodness what a short game, I got home at 5:30 and by 11:30 I was done. It took me a couple sittings to beat black ops. I'm probably gonna play it again, most of the game seems like a blur to me lol. It definitely had better flow then the first game. Visuals where amazing, but I did noticed that they toned down the motion blur significantly. The lighting was better but some of the weather effects where toned down. Controls improved 100%, but for the next game they should keep the weight of the original game on the big guns. Regular guns where fine but I felt that you could move too quickly with the bigger stuff.
This was my impressions last night with the sharpshooter. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt of me not having the patience to configure the move boundary box and other tinkering. Woke up this morning and already had an itch to get back to it and start playingbryehn said:

What difficulty did you play on? And why the rush?.. i imagine i will just shoot up some stuff and check out the scenery every once in a while.McLovin said:
Urg, the jungle map is probably my most hated fps mp map of all time. What a piece of fucking shit. Whoever approved that god awful map needs to be fired. I don't care how many of you reply in defense of that abomination, it's garbage and needs to be patched out of this game and forgotten.
Id like to add that on a whole, this game (mp wise) is way worse than KZ2. The maps, the lag, the graphics, the frame rate are all downgrades from KZ2. Why are there no dedicated servers? If I can't "create" a game, who the fuck is hosting this shit? I guess it's the guy that raped our whole team in warzone with 70+ fucking kills and only 12 deaths while running around spray n praying. I think the rage I have built up tonight is enough for me to leave this thread and mp in KZ3 forever. I will finish sp and trade this in for what I should have bought, MVC3.
Peace out.

Something I've been wondering about. Did it really matter in the end that
? I haven't played KZ3 so don't know how the story unfolds (don't care about being spoiled) but in KZ2 I never really got the impression (with everything that was happening) things would have been better had that not happen.
Rico killed Visari
Just came in to ad my 2 cents on the SP. Picked-up the game today and all I can say is Wow! This game is a beast visually. The SP demo is hardly any indication of how amazing the full game looks! Some of the visuals on display are mind blowing and IMO a new high benchmark for console FPS. Needless to say the graphics nut inside of me is very, very happy. For brief moments I felt like I was in some epic hollywood action movie controlling the camera. This game is a looker both technically and artistically!
Some of the cut scenes could have used a bit more of a tidy up and there are a few low-res textures here and there. But this is really nit-picking a game that is excellent by any measure and has had a world of love poured into it.
Fantastic stuff.
Oh and GG... I want an ISA Rifle Replica for the KZ4's collectors edition. Not super minature either.

Rarely (if ever) do these but it seems apt.
It's the first day. Some people have major advantages what with everything unlocked and added bonus points. On top of that things will generally be a lot busier and more manic. You won't get a reasonable idea of how MP plays out normally till later imo.
I bought into KZ2 way late. When I started multiplayer, I was loving the hell out of it. It was gritty, paced correctly, and felt like a real battle early on.
Then, I leveled up to the point where everyone had some sort of bot to deploy and it completely ripped my interest away. What's KZ3 looking like for those that did the beta? I had access, but couldn't pull myself away from other games.

I always tried to do that in KZ2 but no-one ever joined.
My new theory about the ending. Just thought this one up during my drive to work:
It's neither Stahl nor Visari. It's actually Visari's DAUGHTER!!!! Visari knew his days were numbered at the end of KZ2. He knew the biggest obstacle for her daughter to inherit his throne are the senators, especially Stahl and Orlock. So, instead of handing down the throne to his daughter, he purposefully provoked the ISA (Rico) to kill him, creating a period of chaos and confusion, letting Stahl and Orlock killing each other in their struggle for the throne. Then, his daughter returns. It will be HIS blood that rules Helghan forever.
In KZ4 we will face a female villain!!!!

Hopefully things in the multiplayer will calm down a little bit once everyone's 24 hour unlock everything codes wear off.
Obviously people will still have everything since it doesn't really take that long to unlock everything for a class, but at least they'll probably only have all the abilities for a single class.
Aside: The level 3 marksman secondary, which scrambles radar, seems like a downgrade from level 2, which just hides you and your allies on their radar. If I'm sneaking behind enemy lines I'd rather not be putting out radar static that screams "THERE'S A MARKSMAN NEARBY!"
