RE: Bots - No they were in at launch. They're now classed as unranked games tho. I think you can only earn the boltgun and flamethrower kills trophies against bots (in an online game) but I'm not certain.

Create your own online server and put bots in it, set them to easy and have friendly fire on just in case an A.I. teammate picks up the boltgun/flamethrower. :lol Make the rounds as long as you think you'll need and go nuts. Just have the 2 DLC maps selected of course.

This game is so easy to get back into, and it's still just as awesome as ever. The choice of servers has dwindled significantly since I last played, but you only need one in any case.

That worked, I got most trophies except for the 2 win a round with at least 5 mission victories, that needs to be in a ranked game. I don't think I'll be able to get those unless I leech off someone. I like some of the maps, there's a couple that were just ok, but overall I liked it, gonna see if I can find some ranked games that are not clusterfucks lol

To get the trophies for the intel/symbols do I have to do it in one save or can I get it through multiple play throughs.

You can do it on multiple playthroughs.
I put together a new little killzone 2 video with some old stuff I had on my HDD, nothing fanzy pantzy but atleast some killzone-material. <3 Shame there are so few of them on youtube, It's flooded with MW2...

Cool video.
Maybe you guys can help me on settings. I just got a ps3 and KZ2 and really like the game so far but something about the controls feel sluggish. I almost feel like its the acceleration rate of the actual looking around. I'm coming from x360 so I originally just assumed it was because of the different controller but when I played Resistance it seemed fine.
I tried adjusting the sensitivity of the x & y but it stills feels off. Is there anything else to do? I have kind of gotten use to it the more I play but I'd rather fix it.

Nice vid again Morlock. Everytime I see some footage I want to play again. I'll probably return for a bit when I'm finished with Demon's Souls, and before I finally buy Red Dead Redemption and BFBC2.

The game has 12 frames of input lag:

I'd say, adjust to it. Coming from another game it can be though in the beginning but you'll get used to it and adapt. If resistance is sega rally killzone is gran turismo, can't really compare them.KiKaL said:
For settings i use(d) Alternate 2 button conf, hold zoom and crouch and 2 notches up on X and Y.

Okay I think those are pretty close to my settings. I know I upped the X&Y and switched to Alt2. Alt2 felt much better to use after coming from CODMW+MW2

9 frames, 150ms. And that's only a "ballpark figure" according to the article as it's difficult to measure accurate. That's 50ms over the minimum for a 30fps game.

I stand corrected.
Though 12 frames of cumulative lag (assuing 3 frames of lag from display device, not uncommon at all - my 2008 Pioner Kuro has 3+ frames of lag) is certainly enough that some people will notice a difference over other titles that may have, say, 7 or 8 frames of cumulative lag. Lag tends to become noticeable at certain thresholds (and what those thresholds are vary by individual). The difference between even 8 and 11 frames feels substantial to me, but YMMV.
I'm not making a value judgement on the game (I actually think it is a very good game), just pointing this out to someone who feels the controls are unresponsive, to them.

I have High Precision enabled, X-axis +2, y-axis +1. That's perfect for me. Don't expect it to be as arcadey and as fast paced as CoD. You don't run around the map constantly, just concentrate on winning the objectives.

That's a fair observation as well. Bad Company 2 feels "sluggish and unresponsive" to me compared to MW2, but I do really like BC2.

High Precision shrinks the deadzone. Makes the sticks more responsive to small movements. A real boon to those used to 360 and/or CoD games, which have tight deadzones.

oh I know, I don't mind people who are sensitive to that sort of thing and notice issues like that. I do think the "imput lag" issues have been overstated tho. Even with the minimum of 100ms people would still have issues with way KZ2 controls when compared to CoD just because it has a much slower style, it's just people sometimes put it down solely to "imput lag" as if it's just because it's flawed when it's also just the style of the game itself.
A bigger issue with the controls originally, was the deadzone of the sticks, it was quite large initially and made it a real hassle when aiming down the sights with the M-82 especially. They fixed that issue with the High Precision patch thankfully, and now it's really easy to headshot people from distance. It was probably the combination of deadzone, imput lag and they style of the game itself that made the issues stand out a lot more. They should of course try to reduce the 150ms as much as they possibly can, as depending on what model TV you're using it can build up to a level that a lot of people can notice.

Is it just me, and the games I'm playing or does the multiplayer in this game BLOW?
-Turrets are a neat idea, putting them in high places get headshots. Good idea. Except:
a) Rockets can kill them easy. One shot and done.
b) Two grenades and a primary weapon fire = done.
c) Turrets CAN'T KILL FAST ENOUGH. You're lucky to make 5 kills in a round if you are the only engineer and able to put two turrets near each other in a room to mow down someone.
d) TURRETS CAN ONLY BE PLACED FOUR AT A TIME BY EACH TEAM. Seriously, WTF? I've had five games where you have 14 of the 16 players all trying to place turrets to get kills to get the stupid repair ability.
-Air support fucking sucks. Full stop. IF YOU GET A KILL IN A ROUND count yourself lucky. Like the turrets they can't bring anyone down. "Support" I know, but even if you throw a shotgun shell or two into a person and die, the damn things STILL WON'T take down a person. And the limit of two fucking sucks. I understand it's balance issues, but why would you use this other than to torture yourself to get the secondary ability of that class?
Which leads to:
-Multiplayer unlocks are a decent idea. If the unlocking ability wasn't fucking torture. Five turret kills? Fucking impossible now, as above: Anyone with a brain is going to take those down quickly with one two shots.
Oh and:
Radec Academy fucking sucks. 16 players on each team, the game devolves into "hey, let's speed rush and spawn camp the enemy to where they can't get out of their base."
Of course, that isn't only Radec Academy. It's most of the other base maps as well.
Pretty disappointed, as the class based and multiplayer mechanics can be a good thing. But it's been disappointment after disappointment for me this past week trying to see if I want to keep this game or not. :|

Don't hate it cause you suck
It'll grow on u.
And yeah, Raddec Academy is chaos with more then 16 players.
Oh, and 5 kills with turrets is quite easy, you just have to learn where to place them.

Oh, I've gotten it. But they're still weak as shit and you have to be EXTREMELY lucky to get a killing shot from the turrets.
I mean when you're not being spawn raped (which is 80% of the games I've joined as the losing team quits and you can't do anything about it if the team outside is good enough to keep lobbing grenades in), the game is pretty fun (the shit aiming aside).
Alrightstart said:
Not really.
*Spawn, rush to area where it's safe*
"Oh, look an airbot!"
*spray anything not a shotgun here at it*
(WHOO! BOOM!)
They're as easy to take down as the turrets, and they're ability to kill is just as shitty. I'd love to see how someone can get five kills in a round on the base maps without anyone noticing/taking down the airbots quickly.
Shit is infuriating. As is no points for repairing teammates bots. Guess that's easy points for most people and why they don't allow it. But man, annoying to sit there and repair a bot to make sure the enemy team can't camp your spawn.
I dunno, man. I've thrown one into captures/near enemy spawns and have barely gotten lucky with ONE (!) kill in a round.
If you're lucky and the enemy sucks, yeah I guess they can kill (somewhat slowly, but kill) but now a days people are going to have turrets up or spam a assault rifle/smg/lmg/rocket at it and get it out of there for the +1 quickly.
It's even more annoying having to fight someone that has to secondary ability unlocked and has TWO bots out. Seriously, give other people a chance to get the secondary ability and then forget that class exists, please.

Multiplayer blows because turrets/air bots aren't stupidly overpowered? Come on. The medal requirements for those two are shit but that doesn't make the MP crap. 32 player on Radec Academy, well, blame the stupid KZ2 community for that one, or Guerrilla Games for not restricting smaller maps to smaller player counts.
Turrets and Air Bots are supplemental. They're not going to just destroy enemy teams by themselves, they do damage to enemies so you can kill them quicker and vice versa. If your team is getting dominated then your bots aren't going to survive too long. Only 4 turrets per team? Yeah... what do you want a map full of turrets?
And it's not like you need the airbot medal to unlock anything. The turret medal yeah for the repair ability, so if you want it just sit in a C&H area with one of your turrets and protect it. Then when the timer goes down you can put down a second or third turret if you're lucky. Playing on games with smaller numbers helps.
If you still have trouble I've never minded helping someone get the ribbons so add me if you want some help.

I'm on the final level of the game and it actually made my PS3 freeze. I think it's the first time I have seen it happen. Also, fuck this level, talk about horrible pacing and they push the heavy machine gun on you by providing almost no ammo for regular guns and it fucking blows.
