KILLZONE 3 |OT| The King Is Dead. Long Live The King.

- Start date
Anyone else feel like enemies take way too many shots to kill? It's not ruining it for me, but I do find it annoying to have to pump 50 rounds into a dude with my big jetpack machine gun for them to die. Especially when I drop dead in a split second. I'm just playing on normal too! Besides that nuisance, i'm enjoying it.

what happens when you shoot them in the head?AcciDante said:

One precise shot/bullet can end the vast majority of the enemies. Other times tops two, one to take off the helmet one to cap the skull. My advice is, be patient, take your time to aim (don't just panic and fire crazily) and above all, use short controlled bursts. If you start at the neck or chest with a controlled burst, the recoil generally takes you up to the head. So you can usually down a Helghan in a single burst or two.
During my play through in Elite, I'd say by the end, the majority of my kills were headshots.
Enjoying the single player for sure, with a few complaints. Still feels like the camera is still too low. While I like the control changes with regard to responsive aiming compared to part two, I don't like how quickly the player moves. Full acceleration of the stick makes Sev go way too fast. I don't see a need for the sprint tbh. I end up moving really slow just so I can enjoy all the insane shit going on, but smoothly. Also, I wish they'd take melee off of l3.

Have you been on to the multiplayer to see if there already unlocked, im sure i read it was all the same code.
supermackem said:
No not yet, played the single played last night and just before I got off used the code and downloaded the maps etc I'll look tonight.
Does the 24hr's start from you play MP then not from when redeeming code? (I was on the PSN dash board when I redeemed it)

I think its when you redeem it mate.
I went back and played KZ2 to completion to compare the two games. I must say the cut-scenes are much better in 2. The transitions to gameplay are much better too. Having some perspective now really makes me question some of the changes GG made with regards to the story. KZ3 picks up exactly where the second ended so the abrupt changes in personality and tone don't make sense. Its actually bizarre that the Sev and Rico act so easygoing now considering there even more fucked at the start of this game then all of KZ2. Sev's "FML" moment at the end of KZ2 was perfect, yet it kinda feels like it never happened.

For those in the UK who pre-ordered from game, did it come by Courier or Royal Mail?
Edit: It came about 2 minutes after posting this! Came through Royal Mail in the end, straight through the letterbox.

Sitting here, waiting for the post to arrive with KZ3. It's not looking good. 
evolution said:
I can agree with this. So much of Killzone 2 seemed to be retconed, or tweaked, when it came to Killzone 3. The relationship between Sev and Rico is suddenly very easy going and amicable. We don't hear a word of what happened to Garza, even, which was sort of Rico's fault (although given the circumstances of that incident it's hard to fault him for jumping the gun when Radec literally was about to pull the trigger). Rico never even mentions Templars death, the entire focal point that really made him start to lose control in Killzone 2.
Another thing that's weird is how Captain Narville changed between Killzone 2 and 3. He's basically a completely new character for the third installment (Even looking like two different people if you flip between the games), going from a determined and abrasive 'we do not quit' drill sergeant like figure to a hesitant and polite paragon of professionalism.
And since when was the ISA invasion fleet ripped apart 'within seconds' of landing on Helghan?
Probably has something to do with KZ3 cut scenes being video. As for Sev, I'd say he's still pissed but understands why he did it. Also Sev himself is the one that was preaching not letting feelings get in the way of the mission in KZ2 iirc. So it's not so surprising to me.evolution said:

I wouldn't worry. I only ordered on the 22nd and still got the steelbook edition today so if you pre-ordered any time before Tuesday you should be fine.

My collectors edition finally got posted by Game today.
coolcole93 said:
Can you, or anyone else from UK who has already received the game, confirm is the game is English only or multilanguage?
A lot of people here is waiting for this information in order to import it or not...
There's a bit of confusion around this question on UK online stores...
Thanks in advance...
PS: Why the heck I can't quote? No quote button here???

Does anyone know if the German version is really uncut? According to Eurogamer it is. But that feels weird to me with that CQ-attacks.

Anyone else think that the SMG's are pretty underpowered? I've played a couple of matches now and it seems that I can't beat an assault rifle from close range with one, which surely is its job?
Facism said:
I feel ya pain mate. I can't play as I have a 2 year old who will only sit on her potty if she's sat in front of the TV watching neon-glow kids shows. My brain is melting.
Will start the Euro party proper tonight tho, was only Lince and myself late last night enduring the legendary NA lag.
