Killzone 3 "open beta" February 3rd to 15

Downloading it now but unfortunately I won't be able to play until after classes. Might be able to squeeze in a round before I leave though.
 
Can't play. Network request timed out error all the time... I tried a bot game. I liked a lot! Looks great, no frame drops.

Did you play the original beta? Just wondering what you're comparing it to.
 
I'm only hearing good things so far from the couple of incredibly brief impressions I've seen. Seems like a good sign. Six minutes left and I'm getting an itchy trigger finger!

Just getting into a game but I have to say that just like Warhawk I could just sit there and listen to the menu music.

Yes, the loop is abit short tho, as you'll notice if you're stuck waiting for games like me.
 
Pretty impressive graphics. Also, the menu music is very well done.

Not that I needed the convincing but day one for this mother fucker.

Optimal settings for move anyone?

Still tweaking it but for the time being I'm going with:
DZ width: 0
DZ height: 30
Crosshair sensitivity: 70
Turn speed: 50

Two differences I noticed compared to the preview demo:

1 - Crosshair sensitivity in now available in the options (not only after calibration)
2 - Cursor is not bright yellow anymore. Is a bit toned down. Looks like they added some green tint to it to make it less in your face

Plays like a dream.
 
total waste of time. crap matchmaking and no custom games . sprint is still terrible and makes navigating the terrible map frustrating. lmg is still total bullshit.

Depends on how you prefer to play I guess. I like to rest my hand on my lap and do as little movements as possible with my wrist to control the cursor.
 
Damn work six hours till i get a shot at this beta ....

Is the "wall hack" ability removed or it's still there ? And if it's still there, has it been nerfed or its the same it was in the first beta ???

Thx !

Me as well. But for the live of me I can't play with 70. My cursor is jumping around like crazy. 20 is just fine.
 
Looks better than the old beta.They put more color in spots and models/guns have even better texture:) sucks it's only the one map

Hey all,
We are having some problems on the servers. This is probably due to the amount of people that is coming in at the moment. It causes joining and connection problems. we are investigating this right now.
Please be patient and hang in there.

Holy shit, playing with the Move controller feels weeeeeeird. Only tried it against bots, so I doubt I'll perform well vs. real opponents.

This beta seems to be running much better than the previous one, in regards to the framerate and so.

It's nice, but weird. I'm still performing a lot better with DSII. Sadly.
 
Is it PSN + exclusive ?
I want to check the framerate.
 
Played a few games this morning. So far I'm impressed. Hope them menu's don't stay the same though. Just text everywhere, some pics of the classes and guns would be nice.

Guns feel like they should now. SMG's can't kill from like miles away which is nice.

So far no much unlocked but did try out the Tact spot and mark. Not as wall hax as it was before but I'm gonna need to play some more to see if they have balanced it well. It does auto scan but not sure how long that lasts. So far only way I could see it help is if someone was camping or sniping from a stationary position. Radius said it was 30m from you also.

Weapons have been changed around Tact now has SMG as default. Medic also has SMG as default looks like an MP5.

Will play more tonight.

In botzone weapons are unlocked.Medic has nice selection with the standard ISA gun but silenced with semi fire and the machine pistol.
