Indeed. I really enjoyed KZ2, so the lack of polish in KZ3 is pissing me off quite a bit. KZ3 feels like its lost of the atmosphere that KZ2 had. I think this needed another 6 months or so to just polish everything.
Its not like Sony needed to rush this out the door anyway. This could have came out next Feb and I'd be happy as they have tons of games releasing this year.
It looks excellent, its a real shame it doesn't run excellent.

I'm talking about the single player. The MP beta was disappointing for me too.

Agreed regarding TSP's. Many games I'm the only Tac on my team. All I have time for his capping TSP's and not doing the objectives. We win most of the games I'm Tac. When I try another roll I can get more points but we lose more.
Love the Tactician.
Here are some of the things GG is putting in the next patch:
Guerilla Games will be patching back in custom games back into Killzone 3 as well as many other exciting details that made multiplayer in Killzone 2 great for community matches in a two patch process sometime soon.
Guerrilla Warfare matches are too short!
Agreed. We are currently playtesting new time and kill limits. These changes will make it out in a patch sometime soon.
Custom games
Custom games are returning, although not exactly as they were in KZ2. Two separate updates will be arriving to allow custom games. The first will provide the base functionality, such as
- Custom game modes and settings.
- Secure games allowing you to invite the players you want to play with.
- Faction switching.
The second update will give more much more functionality, some examples include
- More control over games modes and settings.
- Toggling on and off functionality, such as ribbons, skills, explosives, etc.
- Selecting which careers you want available to players.
- Allow friendly fire to be turned on or off.
As well as a few other features. More details to follow.
Preorder and unlock voucher codes arent working correctly.
Investigations are currently ongoing into the issues relating to unlock/pre order bonuses.
Repeated Blood Gracht & Salamun Market matches.
Weve already identified the cause of this problem, it is related to the ANY map selection preference, and we should be able to get a fix out soon in one of upcoming patches. In the meantime if you get trapped repeatedly playing either Blood Gracht or Salamun Market, you can quit your game, then within Find Match > Map Selection, choose a non DLC map. The game will place you into the map you have selected when you attempt to join a game, and once your match is finished, map voting will happen as normal and you can vote on whatever map you wish. We understand this isnt an ideal solution and will try and get this resolved a.s.a.p.

Just reached the
, so far I'm enjoying it but can't help laughing at some of the "best shooter this gen" comments. The game's good, but at the moment I probably prefer KZ2, I felt the start to this game was really weak. Luckily I've read some people say the second half is better than the first, so I'm looking forward to playing more. One section which really blew me away was
Worst bit so far was
Going to play more later but I think it's time for a break.
snow bit where Rico rescues Sev
the stealth section through the jungle on the way to the radio transmitter, it's just a shame that they threw the stealth mechanics out of the window after the transmission and made me backtrack through the entire level.
Worst bit so far was
that Exo bit in the city, there was too much clutter on the screen for me to spot where I was getting hit from and the rumbling of the Exo itself didn't help. Just found it highly frustrating, especially as I saw the whole section as a way to change the "pacing" despite the game not really needing it.
Going to play more later but I think it's time for a break.
Here's some gameplay I recorded on Tuesday, just had some time to commentate on it.
Basically I just ramble on about KZ2, what's changed and stuff ..

The game doesn't really manage to pull me in. The levels and fights are very conventionally set-up and the story and world feel flat.
I decided to continue playing with the DS3 because the Move made me cramp up (figuratively). Aiming is wonderful but making bigger movements like the melee attack often makes me lose control of the camera.

Game crashed my system before I could even start the update to 1.03, I thought it was going to YLoD for a second... Just reached the river and having more fun than I did in KZ2 though, and the lack of headache inducing visuals is great, I couldn't play KZ2 for more than an hour at a time without getting a really bad head. Like the new aiming the speed and weight feel right, do not like what is seemingly the complete lack of recoil when ADS.

Well, the single player is fantastic (so far). I think that makes me feel even more bitter about the multiplayer. I've never been burnt this badly by a game before

Just finished it. For the first hour/hour and a half I was having fun but was a little underwhelmed and thought Killzone 2 was better. Steadily got better and better though and by the end I was hoping it wouldn't end! The
were fantastic and the non-stop action made it even better.
Going to jump into MP later tonight or tomorrow. Had a lot of fun with the KZ2 MP so am expecting I will enjoy it here too.

how the hell do you find spawn points to takeover? i know where mostof them on the maps, but all my friends last night had no idea what to do. i said one of you be a tactician and all you have to do is go stand by one, but nobody could see them on their maps? do only tacticians see them located on the map?
The impressions for this game are getting worse by the minute, time for me for give the game a whirl! Just put it in to download the patch and watched the intro video, fucking hell immediately there is a bug affecting the lip sync, really distracting TBH. Does it happen on later in the game as well?

I've only seen this problem myself when I've paused and then resumed a cinematic. I'm on my second playthrough and have yet to have it happen on its own besides that one case.KingDizzi said:
Also, I think the hard locks that can happen tend to be when the game switches from gameplay to cinematic video. At least that's been the case for me.

Not since Black Ops parties and the Stadium effect...
I love all the hate in this thread. I seam to remember Black Ops. being even more of a cluster fu(k trying to get into matches before they patched it up a couple weeks later. Almost every new game I get at launch has problems for thefirst week or so until they patch everything.

I played for an hour. The game is good. But it freezes for a few seconds. Sometimes.

Do any of you miss the awkward and heavy controls from KZ2?

I have the Sharp Shooter, but I don't use it. It's too heavy, and using the Move and Nav controller by themselves is way better to me.ruxtpin said:

I do, but I don't really mind the new controls either. Believe it or not you could get to the point where KZ2 controls were second nature, but you really had to learn the subtleties of each weapon. Not so in KZ3, its just point and shoot.the national anthem said:
I preferred KZ2's controls but I don't begrudge anybody for preferring the changes made for KZ3. Its definitely more accessible now, which is good, but I wish the individual weapons had more personality and nuance to them.

Ugh fucking hate people with mics, is there an option to turn them off? It's what drove me off Black Ops, the last straw was some prick playing the game while his baby was screaming from the top of it's lungs for over 20 minutes. Got really good though I have to say, someone could not take it after 15 minutes and the insults started, what was funny is that every single person with a mic was screwing at him including me who actually turned it on just to have a go. Playing a game while your baby is screaming for 20 minutes is beyond fucked up, get your priorities right. :/

I generally suck at FPS games. I felt I had an edge because everyone was clunkin around, now it's COD all again with me getting mandhandled.

Well thats a loaded question. I don't miss the lag and the deadzone. I do miss the lost sense of weight.
Well that's a loaded question! If you're asking whether I miss the old weighted controls in KZ2, then yes, I do. But I didn't find them "awkward" or "heavy."the national anthem said:
Without those controls, there's nothing that distinguishes KZ3 from any other shooter out there. And thanks to grenade spam, too sticky cover, bad friendly AI pathfinding, bad and inconsistent checkpoint system, bullet sponge enemies, horrible stealth level, too many rails sections, too much (bad) story sequences, poorly balanced ammo drops/crates, and frequent loading hitches... KZ3 is worse than most average FPS campaigns.
