Im AJ + Lyulf's secret lovechild but they hate me and regularly beat me but I will have my revenge!!

EDIT: Shit, I think I do know who you are. Haven't been on PSN in a while, have you?

They don't let me play with the cool gaf kids anymore :/
I think you may have me confused with someone else but sure I did play some Uncharted2 with you a while back

Holy Shit at all this rage... :eek:. KZ3 is serious business it seems...

Anyways, camping out for the PS store update that Tuesday is going to suck donkey balls... especially since Grace Chen likes to update sometime between 5 and 9 EST, and moreso because of the fact that the items go up about 5 mins before the blog update does. So we'll have to keep on searching for "Killzone 3" on the PS Store to try to catch the theme first... Good thing I have early classes on Tuesday.

Let's not also forget the pre-release thread that had a bunch of people banned over the clown porn fiasco.

I hope we can get a decent GAF-A this time around.

Yeah, about that, you'll have me on the GAF-A side. That pretty much means we're going to lose and lose badly.

You aren't going to pay money (for which you do get other services/goods) to help GG fix w/e issues there are, but you gladly paid (what likely was retail price as you were there day one) for Zipper to fix MAG? Got it.

For the record, I still love MAG.... :lol
GO RAVEN!

I'm sure all of these new PS+ subscribers didn't pay money to have a chance to become a beta tester. The PS+ subscribers that were subscribers prior to this announcement may not have paid to be a KZ3 beta tester, but those who just became a subscriber most definitely did. Keep on drinking that Koolaid, bro.

As for MAG / Zipper vs. KZ2 / GG, I don't know how you can argue how these 2 first party devs treated their fans and how they patched their games. Zipper came out with 4 patches. They fixed most issues people had with the game and actually listened to the fanbase for the most part. Sure, they sometimes screwed up the game with their patches and the game isn't perfect, but what online game is?

What has GG done to KZ2 that makes them so worthy of GAF's praise and worship? Absolutely shit, that's what. People like me, Lince, and the various hardcore fans on the official forums have listed so many flaws with KZ2 for months on end, hoping GG will fix at least half of the things wrong with the game, but all they did was change the way the game controlled (which didn't need to be changed) and immediately started work on KZ3.

Face it, GAF is a bunch of graphic-whore fanboys that love defending extremely flawed games and their developers. They ignore glaring, game-breaking issues in favor of splurging on eye candy. Now, you guys are defending Sony's decision to make a money grab just so you can have a shot to play the beta, acting like PS+ is some sort of great service when most of you berated MS at one time or another in the past for their shitty business practices. I predict most of you won't even provide substantial feedback to GG and are going to treat this "public" beta as yet another glorified demo.

You must not have been there when GAFA consistently beat GAFe the first 2-3 months of KZ2's release. Heck, even GAFE (GAF East) beat GAFe the first month of the game's release. I still remember us beating them in a best of 5 series of games, after the 3 or 4 US GAF clans merged into GAFA... with us winning 3 of the 5 games. They deny it ever happened to this day, but it did happen. It's hilarious how they're still holding onto that "tournament" they won when GAFA and many other top-tier KZ2 clans didn't even participate in it. Yes, Euro GAF did eventually destroy GAFA when most of our good players finally gave up on the game due to GG not patching the game.

The truth. Which also means you'll again accuse every GAFe member of being a lag switcher.

Someone needs a hug.

BTW, is Seb still at GG? He hasn't been here in ages. I want to whinge at him.

click living in an alternate reality confirmed ;)

Irish, there will be no GAFA/GAFe this time. We're doing one big intercontinental GAF clan for the oldschool KZ2 GAF regulars from the old days. FFO will be taking lead of the group, and i'd assume there will be a few of our North Amercan bredren having officer status so they can set up VP-losing sessions, convenient to their timezone :lol

God, don't remind me...... All I did was ask what it was and poof, banhammer time, lol:lol :lol :lol !

Made it back just in time for launch though!

This!!!!!

Can't wait!!!!!
 
Wow, this thread is a party already :lol
Can't wait to get my hands on the beta again (hopefully) - the mp trailers looks to have a lot going for it.

Fake edit: how come there is not a single gif from the latest mp trailer in here? There's a couple of great moments already...

Pay for access to 12 PSN, 12 PSOne, 24 Minis, 24 themes/avatars ect and get the chance to enter exclusive betas = Win!
This.

Even though I'm not a PS+ subscriber, I see how people could like it.

Sony is smart for doing this. I bet subscriptions doubled overnight. Lol.

I can understand that this sounds hypocritical, but there is a big difference because PSN+ is first of all a content subscription. People may get it for whatever feature etc. but this doesn't change the fact that you can actually determine the value of the base content provided which is not possible for XBL Gold. Especially as Gold includes stuff that is fundamental AND doesn't cost MS "anything" (while you already pay for a full game which includes the online modes).

Ironically, it feels like many more PS3 owners are against PSN+ than 360 owners are against Gold. ^^

Your turkish steel appears to have made some lasting damage :lol

I'd happily be leader of course but someone else can if they really want to. Maybe if Raist washes up sometime before launch he can do it again. An equal number of EU and US officers would be fair. 4 each maybe, then we can compete in worldwide clan events.

Hopefully a consolidated clan can stop all the bitterness although the rivalry was fun. We all took things too seriously, goddamn nerds we all are. :p

Shame on all of you who actually bought PS+ for this shit. Because of you, Sony and other companies are going to make this a habit and do it more often. Thanks a bunch. Queue "This is why we can't have nice things" image.

No wonder this industry gets away with this shit it does: Gamers are foolish and just plain dumb when it comes to money.

I was in the KZ2 beta. Does that mean I have higher chances of being in this one despite not being in PS+? Or is it meaningless?

Hey, they said from before + came out that they would get exclusive betas. And its not the only way to get it. Its really not any different than codes coming with a magazine, Qore beta access, IGN subscribers betas and so forth. Its a perk for membership.

Pay for Betas = Fail

I pay for the discounts, so I'll know if I should renew next year.

Getting into some betas is a perk (as I understood when I made my purchase).

But meltdowns in threads like this is another perk they didn't even bother advertising.

I got the game at launch, but didn't play multiplayer until a couple of months after so that's probably why.

Brilliant. I love it.

And I agree GAFeast was dominant in the beginning. Then GAFA, but then it sort of collapsed and GAFE took over.

Man I'm looking forward to getting into this beta.

I miss playing with GAF on KZ2. I have a feeling this one will be even better with all the GAF clans duking it out now.
 

DietRob

i've been begging for over 5 years.
At first I was mad that this was a PSN+ mandatory. Then I remembered that I haven't had more than an hour in the past 2 weeks to play games so I would be a pretty unreliable beta tester.

See you in February. My workload better be sharply decreased by then. FIX THIS SHIT GUERILLA. :D

According to GG, some KZ2 beta testers will get in, some won't. Dunno what criteria they'll use for that.

Not about the beta per se, but this MTV writer really loves Move with it, movement compromises acknowledged.

'Killzone 3' With PlayStation Move Is The Way To Play It

You have the option of going into iron sights, but more often than not the standard reticule works fine for close and medium range targets. Better than fine, in fact, as I was able to clear a room of Helghast in mere seconds, lining up headshots which normally would've required careful cover and preparation. Suddenly close-range combat, which was a bit clumsy in "Killzone 2," feels a lot more like an option.

I would definitely say that your aiming will improve dramatically when using PlayStation Move with "Killzone 3." Movement, admittedly, is going to be a bit trickier, as turning your character around takes more time than it would with a standard analog. But you gain the benefit of being able to run in one direction and fire at enemies in your periphery, without having to turn the camera towards them. It's a move that Arnold patented with his M60 in "Commando" and finally you get to replicate it in a video game.

Throwing grenades works great with Move, as well. No silly throw-movement is required. You simply hit the L1 button on your sub-controller and point your reticule where you want things to explode. It's way faster than throwing an accurate grenade with the Dual Shock, and feels more fluid as well.
