My first impression is that now that I played so much MAG with Move to train this control scheme for FPSs, it actually feels strange playing KZ3 with the DS3. :lol

Wow. The explosions look so much better when reduced way down in resolution like this.Hydrargyrus said:Looks at the particles:
Thanks to my friend alucardd
In HD, the particle effects and all are pretty nice, but the textures used to represent the mix of fire and dirt are painfully low rez, as you can see in most of the screenshots of multiplayer. The missile smoke trails in MP look awesome, though.
The explosive effects do look better than KZ2, which was just had a mix of blurry gas plumes and some lights. Though Killzone 2's effects seemed more volumetric, imo.
Is it really true that the beta is using KZ2 assets as placeholders? Also, that shot of KZ2 looks better than KZ3. It looks like damn near CG. Than again we are comparing Single Player to Multi... soo..
All this is doing is making me think of next gen and this game at true 1080p (frothing at the mouth).

This is just a sentiment that was echoed when the initial trailer was revealed. "Don't worry they are using KZ2 assets." Like I said, I don't know how true that is, but this is alpha build, and the very idea that the textures and character models could look even better, is making me stand up
.After playing black ops I realised just how good this beta is, even with it being awful, unplayable and nothing like I wanted K3 to turn out. February can't come soon enough. Though I wish they would just patch the beta so we can play with and/or test the new fixes they've implemented, it's baffling that they haven't.
why do uninformed ignorant journalists and people IRL complain that KZ2 had a ferocious learning curve and drove newbies away because you start out with nothing unlocked while everyone is on roids and killing you? IIRC didn't the game have a "play with other players of the same rank" option? the fuck.

Almost had fun with this last night...
Was forcing myself to shoot from the shoulder instead of ADS and wasn't doing half bad. I just hate having to ADS in an encounter at 10ft. I think the unstable framerate isn't making aiming easy either.

What? based on the beta/alpha?
So just got in the beta but haven't had the chance to spend much time with it.
Reading a bit here and on the beta forums, is the framerate honestly that bad? I thought the whole point of reducing player count was to improve MP performance?
If it's truly an unplayable piece of shit, has GG made any mention of improving the framerate?

Maybe I'm not sensitive to it, but I find the people complaining about frame rate to be exaggerating tremendously. It's about 20+ at worst during normal playing conditions, and if there's a lot of stuff going on, it drops for a second or so, then goes back to normal.
That said, it's likely this "build" is being used for nothing more than making tweaks to balance and some net code, and all of the visual polish thats probably already present in internal builds won't be here until much later.
This crazy hyperbole bullshit is, unfortunately, what you get when you let lose a beta to a pack of wild retards.

It's no use, I tried explaining this to people multiple times, but they just don't get it.
From what I gather, people believe there is a "magical" button developers press to make their games and after this "button" is pressed, the game should have zero lag, zero FPS drops, and be totally balanced. If it's not all these things, then the game is shit with no chance of improvement.

lol @ people jumping on Fersis.
That's sort of what I was hoping. I can't comment on gameplay since I've only played a single match, but I know during the KZ2 beta there were some highly exaggerated complaints.
I also hope GG is a little more selective with fan criticism, as their quickness to address people's whining ultimately ruined KZ2 MP.

What about the devs acknowledging it as unacceptable? It's probably the inconsistency that is bothering people the most.MrPliskin said:

Thats all very well, but we have seen an analysis where we can all see it can dip as low as 14fps. The people complaining are Killzone fans. They want the best for the franchise and its MP segment. These aren't just twats pulled off of the street.

Well, going by most of the feedback on the beta forum, most of them seem to be twats pulled fo the street, or as pliskin put it, a pack of wild retards, but i assume that was more a remark meant to stir the pot here.
So many people completely loving or willfully ignorant of the problems within the gameplay framework, it's shameful.
