IMO the controls are better then Halo 3, cod 4 and resistance.

I agree. I don't know how they did it but this is the best controlling FPS on a console controller.

I doubt I'll ever try KB/M because of that.

Damn! I am sooooo trading in COD4 for this. Damn you Mark Rein for not letting me know earlier about the release date.

Christ, I've been playing this game since Tuesday and haven't seen anything like that yet. I barely play the vCTF stuff.

How many maps are in this game?

ah you're missing out. If you think that was cool, wait till you see a Bullseye on the Dark Walker. I'll try and capture one over the weekend. In the video I'll upload later, I did get a Bullseye, but it was on some guy on foot.

41 maps. But some of the ones in Warfare repeat, so I would say it's more like 35 maps

VCTF is probaly my favorite game type, I wish people would understand that when they grab the flag I can pull them back on a vehicle, instead they just try and run it back, I wish people used mics
 
I just realized another reason why I like this game so much, hardly anyone sits around and snipes. Most that do aren't so successful because of the fast pace of the game. Snipers would piss me off in Halo 3 and Resistance. I especially hated the shotgun/sniper only games in Halo 3.

Oh and I hooked up a mouse and keyboard last night but didn't like it. I got used to playing FPS with the controller. The last time I played a PC FPS was probably UT2k3, so i'm no longer used to it..

seriously, I dont know how they got it so perfect, but I hope other devs learn from it.

it feels like I can have careful aim and snipe enemies, but at the same time I can turn fast when I need to, it feels really nice.

Wait, let me confirm, you guys are saying that this game controls (with the sixaxis) as smooth or smoother than Halo (the epitome of FPS on a dual analog controller)? If so, my interest in the game has rocketed...

Also, a general PS3 question: do PS2-to-USB adapters allow us to play PS3 games with a dualshock2?

There is no confirmation sound that you are taking, and no one can hear you unless they have a headset too.

If they are they are lying or they have never played Halo. I've been back and forth between kb/m and controller and I just can't get either to feel right. kb/m is just uncomfortable on my couch and too much of a hassle. Six-Axis is not cut out for FPSs imo.

I think the wife just ordered this for me for Christmas:

I think that is just what I need. I especially like the button that allows you to tone down the sensitivity for better sniping.

The maps in this game are amazing. The space station level is just A+++. Between this, the Burnout demo online and Rock Band, I'm using my PS3 more than I've ever used it before :D

No. Actually I've played just about every FPS on a console and this is the best set of controls in one yet in my opinion. I'm doing extremely well, way better than I do in other FPS console games because my aim is really good and it's easy to move around while fighting.

If you're not a fan of the DS in the first place, obviously you won't like it as much.

I second that! This game controls like a dream
 
Third night in a row I tried to play this game in the early AM, and I always get massacred. I don't know if I play worse because i'm tired or maybe the people who play this late are the hardcore players who play 24/7.

I beginning to hate my country's censorship boards. They delayed UT3 for checking,so I won't know when it will come out. Fuck you MDA!!! You all are fucking jokes!!!

Wait there isn't the Face map in the game? C'mon that was classic, Epic!


No face map doesn't make sense.

Face map is almost the soul of the game.

I have so many great Face map memories.

Why?

WHY??

you just didnt play UT3 PS3 with ps3 controller. Its more precise than Halo , much more. I could have never imagined to be able to do a Head shot with a sniper, without zooming, while jumping, with a controller....never. And yet i can. Its incredible

I can understand putting up COD4 aim as a model of DA, but halo no. Halo should be disqualified from any discussion of it's great aim since most of it is force acceleration and sticky aim. Doesn't surprise me Epic nailed UT3 DA considering they were one of the first of any dev to do, no bungie wasn't before them either.

Still haven't played this title on the PS3 yet really want to try but they didn't have it at the lan I last attended because it wasn't out yet in the area. Love the impressions so far.
 
i haven't played many games on the pad, but i have played lots of halo. i think all that really needs to be said is that i didn't feel too disadvantaged over playing on the keyboard in the games i was forced to use the pad.

The sticky aim in Halo 3 is beyond unacceptable. It's cost me countless deaths and frustration. Whee! Someone ran past my aim while I was trying to shoot another guy, my aim was just involuntarily jerked out of my control! Now I'm dead! AWESOME!

Consider it thirded! I have been mostly a PC shooter player. I don't like using a controller for FPS. So I was psyched for this game's kbd/mouse support. I hooked up the peripherals and they were right on the money. It was a really cool feeling to know that I was playing "PC style" on a console. After the novelty wore off though, I went back to playing UT3 with a controller because it was less of a hassle and felt just as responsive.

Between COD4 and UT3, console shooters are starting to win me over.
 
"i know i've had berserk from my stats page... is that the invincibility power up?"


Doubled firing rate. There's no invincibility power up. There's invisibility, though.

Just finished playing my first real bout with it. The controls are amazingly tight. I'm still not a huge DS fan, but I have to give it up to EPIC for really getting the most out of this controller. The precision is amazing. I did a few online rounds on split-control servers and stayed in the top three using a controller.

And I'm playing better than ever. Maybe the PS3 gamers aren't as into FPS's, but I'm laying the smack down like a god. Woot!

The game itself is amazing. Some texture pop, but I haven't seen any slowdown, and it looks fantastic in motion. And it's so faaaaaaast. Fuck yeah. Online got my adrenaline thumping s o much I was talking smack without a headset on, making my wife laugh her ass off.

Epic did an amazing job with this.

Yeah, there is invincibility. I think it's on the map "Fearless" (whatever the one with the statue of the guy is). The whole map is actually built around it. When it spawns in the lighting and music all change. I don't think it's in any other map.

You know, I've played on fearless and I've noticed some crazy bloom out of nowhere (music disabled), but never noticed anyone invincible. *shrug*

Fearless, AFAIK, is like underground and dark and crap. I'd have to load up UT3 to check.

Hmmm I'm not sure i'm liking the new orb mechanic for warfare. Maybe it's because my team has been too inept to kill the orb carrier, but it seems silly.

I had some awesome matches last night, they were simply unbelievable! Not the standard 5 min TDM, but these were like 20+ minutes TDM with a couple of those tall spider laser shooting things from War of the Worlds running around for both teams. Talk about 20+ minutes of hectic chaos!

I'll be on tonight for sure!

I couldn't get close enough to one to drive, fierce battles around them. Got killed a couple times in their lasers! Really crazy stuff. A friend came over when I was playing it, and his jaw pretty well hit the floor.

The long TDM are very satisfying!

I so can't wait to get this game. Shipping out from Play-Asia currently... it will replace Halo as my MP game of choice! I'm more an arcadey FPS then a CS/COD type player, so this thing will suit me to a tee.

3 controllers and KB/M... should be fun!
 
The cool thing about the darkwalkers is that people tend to feel invulnerable in them. And by the time they realize that oh shit I'm on fire, it's typically too late.

Absolutely true. I had killed four guys and was so into the killing that I didn't notice I'd been getting pounded with rockets.

Also, the Redeemer has a much larger range than you'd first expect. First time I used it, I killed everyone in the room, including myself.

Fantastic game. I'm even enjoying the campaign stuff, mostly because it throws you into all the different vehicles. Hoverboarding is ridiculous, but fun once you get the hang of it, especially once you start grappling vehicles.
