Having co-op in the main campaign would make it inferior to what it is now.Kabuki Waq said:

I don't get the audio complaints. Carbine, bullseye and marksman all sound fine to me. I'm using headphones and have configured the audio for that. If you have issues with the audio, check that the configuration matches your speaker setup. Do not set it to surround when you only have stereo or 2.1 speakers.
In competitive the spawn system has drastically changed, I think the frequency of drops of secondary ammo has been toned down a lot as well.
Do not pick "Play". Pick "Find game".JaCk BuRtOn said:
Nah. The game has definitely changed over the course of the past few days, both in co-op and in competitive. Boss behaviour was changed, boss health was toned down, yesterday I've seen a stalker now replaces that one titan that has been notorious for getting stuck in the wall and lots of other little changes here and there.dralla said:

Dude. It's different per weapon. You may have noticed that the magnum is a handgun. It just isn't supposed to zoom. Try the iron sights on the carbine or bullseye, and then check out the marksman and far eye for real close ups.dralla said:
You're also wrong about the aiming sensitivity staying the same when iron-sighting.
You're also wrong about the bullet spread staying the same when iron-sighting.
Get it right.

Took me almost half an hour to find an open game.
BTW is there some type of lobby system? because I tried inviting Loudninja, but didn't know if he joined or if denied it.

You can fully customize the controls in the beta. Just change the control type to Custom Controls and hit Square, or something like that.

Yeah I just ranked #1 for my team the whole 40 man skirmish and was still bored. I just don't like it. The co-op seems boring as well. I'm going to pass.

Thanks will try that. I'm only in the beta for 2 days.Pai Pai Master said:
Didn't really like the game the first time I tried it. Felt it was even more chaotic than the first one. Today played again, played 12 rounds of that "generator" game. It got better and better, the game is really growing on me.
The graphics are nice and IG addressed the texture problem, but the LOD was pretty obvious in some instances. Lighting and shadows are still pretty weak, but already improved compared to the first one.

There've been a lot of people joining the beta in the last couple days and it's unlikely they have the same amount of time to work on the servers during the weekend. We'll probably see some server reboots tomorrow that'll ease things up.

Hit triangle in the lobby and go to party options then in party controls you'll find invite messages. I had trouble finding that out too.Loudninja said:Ha sorry ,didn't see anything,I would have join

None of that auto-aim magnetism bullshit. And if it is there, it's very minor.
UntoldDreams said:
But once again it's gold. The only thing they can fix is in incremental updates, not something substantial on the disc. I said it before I'll say it again... this excuse will be null when the game is out. I hope I'm wrong I really do. That being said I'm still enjoying it thoroughly, but to say it's not rough around the edges is ridiculous, just IMO.

I seriously can't wait for this thread to get locked down.
Jeez, just change the thread title to Killzone 2 Beta bragging thread of "HAHA I GOT IN AND YOU DIDN'T!!". Oh and Jstevenson posts here.

And yet, it's extremely hard to drop anyone with a carbine without using the iron sights. Maybe not in "high weapon damage" modes, but it's an advantage either way. It extends the effective range of the weapon.gogogow said:
It's definitely not the same game as Resistance 1, and I am mildly offended by the abandonment of the original philosophy as well, but we're really not getting anywhere if we can't get over that and focus on how fun or not fun this new game is now.
To me, the weapon zoom in R1 was more of a tool that only existed to make aiming easier, as it allowed you to play with very high sensitivity and engage the zoom when you needed to make smaller adjustments. However, the actual function of the weapon did not change. The bullets still spread the same way. That's no longer the case.
Iron-sighting now is a real improvement to bullet accuracy on many of the weapons, and you're also making big tradeoffs in movement speed for that.
I'm a bit annoyed as well. I wanted melee on triangle and a dedicated button for the sprint. Clicking sticks is such a last resort. Too few buttons I guess. I hope they get rid of the explicit sprint in the next game.gogogow said:

The team is using this beta's feedback and is working on a day-one patch with tweaks and adjustments. They may not fit everything in with the first patch but it's not like the public beta is useless for feedback until months after release.
bcn-ron said:
And just like you can customize the controls in the beta, you can separate Sprint from Crouch and stick them on whatever buttons you please.
It's the online portion of the game. You will be forced to install a patch when you attempt to play it online. If you somehow had no way to download a patch, you also have no way to play the game, so you wouldn't care.msdstc said:
As they say in Coca Cola Presents New Zanzibar, once again.
Yeah, I know, that's what I have. I've kept melee on R3, crouch on L3, sprint on L2. Essentially the default layout with the option to separate sprint from crouch.Pai Pai Master said:
I can play it that way, more or less, I'm just having trouble getting my melee hits in reliably but that's okay.
I only feel they've missed the opportunity to remove sprinting and free up a button. Aiming and firing already limit your movement speed, there's no stamina either, so there really is no more point in having it IMO. Whenever you neither shoot nor crouch, why would you not want to sprint?
I'm digging cooperative gameplay so far, but I don't get the point in having to nail 1,000 bullets just to kill a regular opponent, it is just not fun but I believe in Insomniac, one of my fav developers. Oh, and the graphics are awesome considering the stuff happening on and off-screen at the same time, no other PS3 engine could do it.

This thread is depressing me.
For what it is worth, I pretty much love most of the changes and find this MP experience to be much better than R1.

You're not alone.
Crybabies in this thread are actually embarassing.
Bu bu bu....I CAN'T MELEE WITH TRIANGLE IT SWITCHES WEAPONS WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
My God people, cry more. I love switching weapons with triangle as opposed to a shoulder button. As a matter of fact, I hated it when I had to switch weapons with R2.
Guled said:
Exactly... If it played and felt like R1, I would not have been even half as excited. I loved R1 for it's single player, story and concepts. R2 takes what I love about the first so much, and pacakges it with a new amazing gameplay experience and solid controls to boot. Because of the beta, I'm not even getting LittleBigPlanet, I'll just play this until Infamous comes out.

Cool, I'm going to mess with control options now. Crouch/Run and melee screwed me up quite a bit.

This is a typical game for me on Chicago 40p. IF a few other friends are playing with me, the game only becomes more lopsided.
This is carbine only, that is all I used.

If that's not ranked, then it means shit.
Yeah, it's basically the same situation as it was with Smash Bros. Brawl. The sequel to a game that was rushed for launch is way more polished but different so the old fans cry about it. In both cases I've thought the newer installment is much better than the previous one. With Resistance 1 I was much more of a fan of the Campaign than the multiplayer anyway and the beta for R2 has sold me on its multiplayer. I'm sure if the online component is this strong then the Campaign will truly be something special.TEH-CJ said:
I wish I could get into rank games.M3Freak said:
If you want I dont mind smacking you and the rest of the gaf clan up lol. Dont talk to me about rank/custom games being meaningful.
The gaf clan played ranked on r1 while we made customs and played with no 40s, no shotties, no chimera, no tagging, no laarks. Your ranked games meant shit as well :\ There were no bs kills in our games since there were no 40s and no tagging like bitches because one couldnt aim(sometimes we had tags on).
I'm a competitor first, not that gbing makes me better than anyone else, but it should show that I play to win and get better. I could boast bout our gb record on r1 or the tournament we won etc, but I guess that doesnt matter since it isnt a ranked game lol.
Like there are better players than there are in customs. I dont join the high dmg games either, I think thats dumb but to each their own.
