Support NeoGAF

[3rdamention]

I'm gonna jump straight into MP for a couple of hours then start the SP on "Veteran" then later that night play MP again, maybe we could have a GAF game or something.

I would love a Gaf Game tonight. I am part of the Launch Party for Friday, but I would love to play online tonight.


And I am on the last segment of the single player game on Veteran and I swear the game is harder than the demo. I have died 77 times throughout my full play through.


Granted, I have been going for trophies like killing 5 people with one grenade, kill 2 people and yourself with a grenade, stuff like that. Plus, just trying new things, I have not been concerned with dying at all.



I did have a nice moment. I ran into a group of Helghast Troops, there were 6 of them. I cooked my grenade and let it blow up in my hand. I got 3 trophies all at the same time. Kill 5 Helghast with one grenade, kill 2 Helghast and yourself with a grenade, and something like Pop off 100 Helghast Helmets. That was pretty cool getting all three with 1 grenade.

Am I the only one from the US in here, feels like this is Euro only.

Indianapolis here bro, but I got the game last Saturday at Meijer so I am basically partying with the Euros



Yeah, and as for joining Squads, I believe if you do not join or create a squad, you will always spawn back at the base. Thus, as stated before, joining squads is crucial.

The round history tool on killzone.com is pure sex:

http://killzone.com/kz/tour_round_history.psml?kz_match_id=3890&kz_file_id=10202

Best muliplayer feature ever!

That thing is crazy awesome. I just watched a few matches out of boredom, and was actually entertained watching dots run around the map shooting each other. I for some reason find it real tense when I see two dots barely miss seeing each other through a door.

 

[FirewalkR]

Hot damn, I just followed that round history tool link and it's freaking amazing. I'd heard about the replay feature a few days ago but kz.com was down so I hadn't got a look yet. So good.

online experience so far:

lag -- windoze powerpoint presentations looked better than this!
bluetooth voice comms still suck -- even Resistance 2 was better than this pos3!
got disconnected twice while ingame once even from my own frakking game that i created! wtf lagzone 2 ftl.

and that menu system that jiggles (i didn't even waggle my 6asses controller) while you wait for friends... argh! my eyes! is there a way to turn it off?! its giving me a friggin headache. where's the quality control?

i wished they let us test the MP experience in the demo. please gaf, make me not regret getting this title.

 

[bigswords]

This is epic fail, super lag (played with my friend and we are not very far apart, Resistance 2 doesn't lag for us) and mic doesn't work in squad mode 80% of the time. WHY DO YOU KEEP FAILING SONY!!!!!!!!

Fuck Resistance 2 had the best voice quality among all the ps3 games, that shit should be minimum.

Multiplayer really is fun and I agree the classes are balanced , just realized that there's no engineers on my team to produce ammo and defense points

[Cruzader]

So since most of the Amazon pre-orders are gonna have release date delivery shipping, does that mean that the games will be shipped tomorrow so we all get it on friday?

Haha, Indiana and our Meijer's always selling stuff early. That's how I got Halo 2 early.

 

[GodofWine]

I don't know if it's in the manual didn't read the damn thing. But it's right thee in the MP! You need to join so you squad leader can be a mobile spawn point.

You can pick spawn points right? Like Warhawk?? and not just randomly pop in like COD right? I cannot wait to trade in COD..I've learned to despise that game over time...

:lol If R2 does fine with more players, how in the world is it Sony's fault that KZ2 doesn't do the same? You're kidding, right?

[xBerserker]

YES!

OW MAH BALLZ!!!

Looks pretty good.

yes, but i think it would look better with the white space around it (paper that is..).

Joke Post?

sorry no. i really wasn't joking and if it gets me banned so be it. but i'm really upset that the experience OOTB ain't as great as they (Pony) hyped it to be.

i expect the MP to be fairly smooth, not a jerkfest just now. i expect to hear my team mates most of the time, not intermittently or none-at-all. i expect to have decent connectivity, not suddenly jerked out of a match that I hosted/created. i could have expected all the problems I mentioned in a 60 player match, not in a 2 player match with 6 bots!

unless someone can explain why this is happening - hey maybe the MP servers aren't up to the load.. maybe the servers caught fire, maybe the mice need to be fed. then maybe i'd understand - even then it just goes to show how inadequately prepared they were.

Thats cute. Next.

:lol :lol At least the other insults were clever

 

[3rdamention]

That thing is crazy awesome. I just watched a few matches out of boredom, and was actually entertained watching dots run around the map shooting each other. I for some reason find it real tense when I see two dots barely miss seeing each other through a door.

Same here, it was Search And Destroy and there were like to areas to destroy. Everyone was fighting at one of the points, but the other one had one guy, all by himself running towards it. He got there, destroyed the point, and at that moment, you see a train of like 6 enemies heading towards him.

I was watching it with some of my 6th Grade Students at the end of class. I was explaining what Search and Destroy was. Then I said "Check out this guy, he just destroyed that point. OH NO, look kids, he is going to get OWNED!!!" As all these soldiers come towards him. Then you see him go one way, and the huge squad goes another, and they all missed him.


It was intense. And this was just dots and lines moving around. I cannot wait to get online tonight.

 

[Xater]

@basis: i don't know what game you've been palying but I experience have been fabulous so far except for the buggy server browser.

 

[fistwell_old]

That's hopefully the plan.

 

[Negaiido]

lol whats with the lag issue? I had a great time, played for like 2 hours. Owned some newbies, got irritated by newbies
Even with the US servers I didn't get any lag.

 

[3rdamention]

Quick Question. I was watching the Battle Replay posted earlier in this thread, and it says on the Match Settings Screen under ADVANCED OPTIONS : "Spectators Allowed"



What is the Spectators Option? Can people just watch a game without joining to play?

Or can you spectate after being killed before you choose to respawn?



I would love a spectator mode where people can watch, in at least Clan Matches, to facilitate and witness the battle.

Clearly it's just Pony playing a trick on you, they'll release their lag fest soon when you least expect it!

Holy Shit! What am I reading here between 2 deaths. It's the exact opposite of my MP experience.

W0w, you are the only person I have read having some major online issues right now. Check out your ISP or make sure you have the ports forwarded on your router that the PSN specifically uses.


I honestly read your post and it seems like every complaint you could ever have for ANY multiplayer game were all complaints you had with Killzone 2.

I'm already addicted to multiplayer... I've only played 3 matches (playing with sambishop)

AFW!

GRRR! I should be playing right now!!!

 

[lunlunqq]

... this is not fair. this is ridiculous!!! why?? you guys are enjoying the game and we are still waiting for the NA launch??? this shit can be happening...

 

[3rdamention]

I am going to play this game nearly every evening. I cannot wait until tonight. I have been playing around with Skirmish Mode just to get the fell of online, and I cannot wait.



If you guys have not played Skirmish Mode or dont have the game, it is like an online simulation with bots. It has all the online modes and everything, only against bots. It even has a lobby and stuff.



It is a great way to practice and stuff.

... this is not fair. this is ridiculous!!! why?? you guys are enjoying the game and we are still waiting for the NA launch??? this shit can be happening...

Where have you been?
It's been like this for like a week lol

...and I'm hoping to pop NA's cherry later today, I hear a store around my way may be getting it this afternoon.

I am soooo gonna play the theme song to Sanford and Son while playing this online, and have it blare over my headset!

Dun Dun Dundun, dun dun dundun dundun dundun, dundun dun dun, dundun dun dun!

 

[womfalcs3]

So is the game officially out in some countries in Europe or are some retailers breaking the official release date?

I know it should be released on the 27th in the UK.

It begins...

 

[Schrade]

I am soooooo envious of you guys already playing the game

Granted I have to work but...grrr I can't even get the game here in the states yet

 

[Loudninja]

How many people are palying online now?

Edit: Somone said there were already 16,114 players playing online.

It began a long time ago...a long long time ago

You are the only person complaining...except for bigswords, who posted at the exact same time as you, with the exact same gripes as you (BT / R2 / Lag)...apparently people posting at 10:23am have bad luck.

Go play Quake Live while you wait.

FUUUUUUUUCCCKK. Any NA'ers find this yet in stores?

So what's the fastest way to rank up?

 

[The Wise Old Man]

Are people really griping about the servers in a game that hasn't been released yet?
