DISCUSS MULTIPLAYER | EXCHANGE PSN IDS | SAVOR THAT CHIRP

Add yourself to Google Spreadsheet. Quote to see the link to it.

Radec's Official Thread can be found here.
Thought we could use a multiplayer discussion as a few people asked about a thread in the OT, and PSN IDs are scattered about.

Don't have a PS4. Not getting one for a while. Avoided most coverage of the game. I have a question for those that own it... Multiplayer-wise is this game more along the lines of KZ2 or 3? In terms of the way the guns/movement feels. If you can compare anything else please do.

Colonel Nasty · 03:57 AM

Not a huge fan but it's better than 3. It feels very slow for how many bullets it takes to kill someone. I guess I could excuse the pace if it was a more tactical game. Only played a few games so I won't write it off yet.

Fracas · (11-17-2013, 03:55 AM)

I haven't played a lot, but feel free to add me if anyone wants to play. My psn id is Monsterfracas_

EightBitNate · (11-17-2013, 03:55 AM)

Does anyone what the best loadout possible is? I'm doing poorly.

eznark · (11-17-2013, 03:57 AM)

I am the worst. Going from BF4 on PC where I hold my own to KZ on PS4 where I am abysmal is hard to stomach!

Cmerrill · (11-17-2013, 03:59 AM)

The animations are huge disappointment compared to KZ2 and the feel of the guns too. Overall I just don't enjoy any aspect of this game. KZ2 must have been a fluke.

Use some PEDs!

I have not jumped into MP yet and was wondering about a few things. Is it true there is no voice chat or a party system? Is there any type of clan system like the previous games?

Which class? For assault I can do pretty well with Rumbler or Keyzer/Reigner/Speed Boost. For support I like Pulver or Stova/Reigner/Spawn Beacon. Haven't tried scout yet but I was thinking Cloak for sniper rifles, and Stun Drone or Teleport for the SMG.

Curious to see what other people think.

It's all handled by the PS4 UI party system. When a member of a party joins a game, it automatically invites everyone else in the party to join on the same team. No in-game chat but the party system mostly handles that. They should patch in a general game chat channel though.

ThatsMytrunks · (11-17-2013, 04:02 AM)

This is my first Killzone, but I'm liking the multiplayer. I love the gametype-to-gametype flow per match.

I'm a Halo guy through-and-through, but this's been super fun. It's the only thing getting me to keep the game, as I've been absolutely hating the campaign.

I didn't notice in the multiplayer but oh man some of the animations in the opening part of the single player are bad.

Yeah, the campaign is brutally bad in pacing, acting, A.I The whole package is rather bad, IMO.

TheRealTalker · (11-17-2013, 04:07 AM)

Played some official Warzones... the game feels a lot more like KZ2 then KZ3

Haven't dived into the custom Warzone option
the only custom match I played was a simple shotgun/Assault class only game where you had to capture an area...

Planning to get into the meat and potatoes Tomorrow

Reload animations are god tier. All I care about :)

Gator86 · (11-17-2013, 04:16 AM)

I'm sure the lack of auto aim is killing a lot of people used to COD style automatic kills. It takes a min to warm up to it but I'm loving the game. Strategy and skill matter here more than most mainstream FPS games.

Wario64 · (11-17-2013, 04:17 AM)

Multiplayer is awesome but does mic even work? I hear no one chatting

Same here. I played two long matches and didn't hear a peep.

Plenty of chirps, though. Should the chirps be coming out of the DS4?

Zatoichi's Cane · (11-17-2013, 04:23 AM)

Yea I don't think there is chat outside of party chat.

Wtf, no in-game chat? Has GG said anything about this?

Arklite · (11-17-2013, 04:26 AM)

There's like no recoil on too many of the guns, and the revive option is confusing people, they don't notice the prompt and just lay there. Wish it was just a straight revive. Been fun so far but I feel like the levels are just missing something artistically compared to past games. Weapons too.

Courage · (11-17-2013, 04:26 AM)

I'm sure it'll be patched in. It was probably a dumb incentive to use parties at launch.

I haven't played MP yet, but this sounds great to me.

Killzone 3's biggest flaw, imo, was that they drastically increased the sizes of levels while reducing both player health and recoil. Death came far too quickly, often long before you came anywhere near an objective. It turned Warzone into an unfun mess.

Branson · (11-17-2013, 04:27 AM)

Sad that only like 4000 people are maybe playing Killzone. It's a fun mp shooter.

Cheesecakebobby · (11-17-2013, 04:27 AM)

Game just arrived and console is coming later today. Will be trying to play on US servers from Japan. Because PSN isn't up for PS4 in EU yet, does that mean I can't use my EU account or us it fine for just playing games online (as opposed to using the store etc)?

Raxus · (11-17-2013, 04:29 AM)

Loving it so far. Some bugs need to be worked out and I have to get used to the powers but I am having a blast so far.

Man that is really low. I'm hoping its just because people are running through the campaign first. :\

I wonder what the numbers on COD and BF4 are...

earvcunanan · 05:00 AM

Sup.

MP is awesome, it reminds me of KZ2 and NOT like KZ3, which is a great thing. Teleport is hands-down one of the best abilities in the game. It's so damn fun getting in the grill of a group of players, killing two or more of them, then teleporting the hell out of there.

Btw, here are some 1080p videos I've recorded of the MP so far:

November 16th 2 hour stream
Warzone at the Spire with some shotgun action
Run 'n Gun Capture Fun
Warzone at the Slums with a 5-0 sweep
And I made a video showing the Offline Botzone features

Also, GG needs to make the 24 Player Warzone the main playlist on the main page. No wonder there's only like 50-60 people playing at a time since not everyone knows how to search for a playlist outside of what's posted on the main page.

Sir Griffith · (11-17-2013, 04:31 AM)

Love playing support class. Usually switch between turret and spawn beacons. Don't think I've seen anyone go with the ammo crate subability lol

I've been mainly using support and the Pulver has some pretty good kick to it. Rumbler and Keyzer have a bit less but it's still there. With the lack of auto-aim, I'm pretty satisfied with the level of aiming required to shoot.

Agreed.

Shadownet · (11-17-2013, 04:34 AM)

I think so far Shadow Fall multiplayer is more fun than Ghosts.

Deputy Dangle · (11-17-2013, 04:37 AM)

Been addicted to the multiplayer as well, and I love how similar it feels to KZ2. I should try to branch out and play more loadouts outside of Assault.

Try the Support class and equip the shotgun with the teleport ability. Have fun.

Oh, and remember to revive your teammates whenever you can.

Zatoichi's Cane · (11-17-2013, 04:42 AM)

I'm trying to learn recon class. Stealth cloak guarantees me at least one kill each time I use it.

Hey man thanks for the videos, how did you record them?

Radec · (11-17-2013, 04:58 AM)

Why are we dividing KZSF players in two threads btw?

Its not like people aren't talking about MP in the OT.

:o
