Anyone else having audio issues? My receiver (5.1) sounds perfect on movies/tv/other games. The blasts and explosions sound really muffled when I play KZ3 though. Everything sounds fine, but the big explosions and other loud audio. Voices are crisp and clear and the gun sounds are fine. Even the footsteps sound good. I can't figure it out.

I noticed this in the cutscenes - i think it's a really bad mix along with the bink video compression.
Areas where there should be explosions everywhere just sounded kinda dull and muffled here as well. I have my center channel turned up a bit because dialog is typically quiet but I played through DS2 a few weeks back on the same system and it sounded exceptional.

I agree with the wasp turrets, they really need to either get rid of them or do some serious nerfing to them.
The base camping also on snowdrift is really bad the helghast are so screwed if the ISA gets the spawn points which thanks to their spawn is incredibly easy for the ISA to do in the first 10 seconds of the game.
And I have been saying this since the beta but they really need to take out brutal melee in the mp portion of them game. I role infiltrator the most and I kill the assassination target like nothing thanks to the brutal melee. It's stupid and cheap cuz it grabs you in the animation which is seriously stupid.
I enjoy the game way more then cod but somethings are really bothering me about it. Brutal melee and wasp turrets are the two main problems I have.

Blood Gracht is fine in the daytime, it's Salamun Market that it clearly inferior in the daytime compared to nighttime.H_Prestige said:

Blood Gracht and Salamun Market will put an end to the Killzone 3 multiplayer just as it did with Killzone 2... it took me 5 minutes to find a game that wasn't constantly running one of these maps.

Seriously. Who would've thought that Day 1 DLC would split the community up so much and make finding KZ3 maps such a hassle. What was GG thinking making the DLC maps their own playlist?
I mean I understand it because not everyone will have them and if it's in a regular playlist people will get booted but still .. they should've just been fucking available to everyone who buys a game new .. not pre-order.

I would gladly give up footprints and some other textures in MP if it meant a bump in framerate. When there are 24 people on Salamun market, WASPs and EXOs bombarding you, shaking your screen the framerate has to be in the low 20s. I know it's bad enough that sometimes I have trouble aiming/turning due to the lack of frames. (overcompensation, or lack there of while turning) 8v8 or lower games have a much better framerate.Thrakier said:

I got a 40$ giftcard for picking up killzone and bulletstorm at TRU, and was thinking about getting Move, does this game benefit from move controls? Or make it a better experience? And hows the 3D in this game?

aristotle said:This I know, but the audio is only muffled on cutscenes.
I am also witnessing a significant difference in the volume of cutscenes compared to ingame. In fact, there are a lot of audio problems in this game, from drastic changes in volume, to stuttering speach loops, to completely missing sounds and effects.
I am also really disappointed with the low audio on grenades in MP. Many times I have overcooked a grenade because I can barely hear the beeping - yet often it will get louder when I throw it away from myself.

Yeah I'd like to know this, too. People say to turn it off in SP, too, but I loved the feel of it and left it on. But if it's going to put me at a sizable disadvantage when I get into MP, I'll probably take it off.
Haven't turned off (Move) rumble in my case. I think it adds to it. Granted as I've said before, I haven't had any problems with calibrations, cursors or aiming in general.
No problems in multiplayer neither. Well,I sometimes kill more than 10; sometimes kill only 1, but I'm used to that in multiplayer FPS games. There was a match that I killed none, but had 10 assists. (focusing as an Infiltrator)

I turned it off because of the annoying sound it makes when vibrating in the Sharpshooter, and noticed my aim improve a bit as a result. Keeping it off, now.
What a terrible ending. My impressions of the final couple of hours and a short summation of my overall experience.
I wish I hadn't played Reach before this game because it makes Killzone's space flight section feel like "my first space shooter" and pretty much underlines the difference between a developer like Bungie and a developer like Guerrilla.
Gameplay wise was there any difference between that on rails flight section and any other of the on rails vehicle sections which fill the game? No. R1 for a machine gun, R2 for rockets, how predictably underwhelming.
There's also a wealth of trial and error involved as you follow a scripted path with scripted enemies, again completely devoid of any user autonomy. This was underlined perfectly with the "press O to drop nuke" that concluded your "participation" in the game.
I even found the low gravity section to be fairly pointless because they didn't make use of it. You just ran down the same corridors and hid in the same types of cover you had done before, except this time things seemed to be slowed down and enemies flew away once they'd died.
I also hated the stupid bots they started throwing at you in the space station. They were just big floating bullet sponges that flew towards me in a ball of fire once I'd killed them.
The only redeeming quality from that final two hours was the revelation that Visari might not be dead after all, and thank god, because the two antagonists they introduced (as I predicted) were devoid of much character and charisma. They were your by the numbers, evil enemies.
Early impressions in this thread indicated this game was "the shooter of the generation", I bought it to see if I could corroborate this. As far as I'm concerned, reviews like EDGE's were spot on, this is just a decent shooter. Some parts are great, like the stealth jungle section or the sniping in the junk yard, but there's too much fluff thrown in like the numerous on rails sections or the desperation to change environments every five seconds.
Got to say I love the AI though, makes the combat highly satisfying and replayable.

I LOVE the move controls in KZ3. As I said in the other thread, I really feel that it's one of the best examples of motion gaming at it's finest. Wii, Move, or Kinect. It's extremely responsive, accurate and just a blast to play with, feels like KZ3 was built from the beginning with it in mind.

I love the multiplayer so far. Would really like to get in on some GAF games the next couple of days. The singleplayer is a resounding meh. The sound design is all over the place.
Square Triangle said:
I don't think I'll be using Move in MP, where it's more frantic, but I'll definitely be giving it a go in SP after I finish it. It's strange though, in the MP 'beta', the controls felt more responsive than in the SP demo: specifically the twist to reload action. Don't know if that was just me but I hope it's not like that in the final game.

Any fix to the preorder map pack bug where all you ever get to play is Blood Gracht and Salamun?
It's driving me nuts, I'm kicking myself for installing the pack.

I finished this before going to work earlier so I didn't have time to ask. I have one question.
What did I miss?
What did I miss?
As soon as the credits rolled I started to get ready for work, I figured there might be something after the credits, I left the room for a few minutes and the credits were still rolling when I got back, after they finished it returned me to the start screen.
Killzone 3 already has the worst single player campaign i've experienced this generation and i'm having trouble accepting the ending. It is so fucking bad it almost makes me forget how crap everything else was. There must be something missing, as ending the story with the genocide of an entire race is pathetic.

Same, I love it, gives the map a unique feel, it's an neat variable. It affects the other team just as much as it affects me, so whatever.

Purchased Move just for this, damn I dont think I will get used to it, we'll see. : (
It definitely takes some getting used to. My first night with it ended in frustration and going back to the DS3. The next day I spent a long in multiplayer with bots tweaking the setting and at the same time getting in some good practice with it. It's now my preferred method of play.dreamer3kx said:

Haven't entered the code I got with the collectors edition yet.
If I go online for botzone to practice with the Move, it won't eat into my 24 hours of double XP right?

After playing for 7 hours with the DS3, I cautiously decided to give the Move controls a 30min run-around, worrying that it might ruin my K/D ratio if I gave it any more time. First impressions weren't good, as I felt I needed to shift my arm around too much to rotate my POV, which ultimately made movement less responsive. In the end, I read around the net and found recommendations for this setup:
X Dead Zone =0
Y Dead Zone = 0
Cursor Sensitivity = 0
Turning Speed = 70
Aiming type = Hold
After that tweak, I played for 3 hours straight, and placed at least 2nd in each game. Far from soiling my records, it actually improved them (with my K/D up by 0.7). It's especially good for tracking running targets with SMGs and ARs, which can be a hard movement to meter out with the DS3 stick. Definitely a surprise, and if these results hold out I'll certainly be using it as my default setup.

Two questions:
1.) Why does the game spawn me with 96 bullets and make me run to the ammo crate to get more EVERY time I respawn?
2.) Why the hell do I only get Salamun Market map for warzone every frickin time? I have spent the last two days playing this map and its getting old.

Right, I'm going to hold off until Monday then. Everyone is out of the house all day.
Oh, and that attractive blonde gamer girl added me on PSN.
I gotta say, I'm having a blast with this game. The single player, though rough around the edges, was still enjoyable. And the multiplayer is just a ball of fun. I love how each map has it's own unique identity comprised of outstanding visuals. I just finished fully upgrading my tactician; it's gratifying capturing spawn points in order to help your team advance. And maybe I'm just not a schtickler, but I really haven't noticed any significant bog downs frame rate wise. This new release purchase, thankfully, is justified.

1.) You can pick up other weapons you know, and also you automatically pick up ammo from dead bodies with the same weapon. Also gives the engineer a responsibility.TheExecutive said:
2.) Go to map preferences and select a map other than salamun market/blood gratch. It's a known issue and it will be fixed "asap".
