He wants genocide. Plain and simple. While the ISA are not boy scouts by any means, they are not trying to kill off an entire race of people like he (Visari) is.

Umm isn't that what the UCN wanted of Helghan too? They oppressed the native Vektans so harshly they were forced to leave, with no aid, to Helghan.

Does anyone know if this open beta will be patched on the 15th to disable access to Botzone?

They won't. The previous beta was not patched to prevent this. I dont expect the same from this beta. Of it is then don't update the beta when it asks you to.

Excellent. I didn't delete my copy of the closed beta so I guess there's little reason to keep this open beta on my HDD.

Thanks.
 
Too bad the game is offline atm, but I'm having lots of fun. I must say, KZ3 has me hooked, even moreso than KZ2. Guerilla did good. Cant wait for the campaign, it should be off the hook. I'm playing operations right now, very nice. These graphics are the best I've seen yet, can't wait for varied locales.
 
The good news is the game will be patched to hell, feature sets and gameplay changes. As you guy can tell im really passionate about the series so when i go on ranting, it's because i love it. From what I understand, GG is a pretty small team, and to produce what they have with the small amount of people is pretty impressive. Hopefully they come to their senses and make what they want to make and not what people want them to.
 
GG has 150 people working for them, more than ND does. Uncharted 2 was leaps and bounds better than UC1 and had feature packed multiplayer.

I think 3D and Move support probably added to the work load more than expected? Who knows, then again, ND are just pure genius.

Custom soundtracks are unlikely said motherh. Also no squad system, ablity sharing, or cinema mode. Appearently, it never made it off the drawing board...Photo mode has not been mentioned.

Thanks for the link, but what he says in regards to in-game music is actually "I believe it should work, yes.
Seb Downie - Producer - Guerrilla Games" (Post 194). Unless I'm missing something?

Uncharted 2 multiplayer is about as bare bones as possible.

I Believe he is comparing improvement seen from U1 to U2 versus K2 to K3. personally I will wait on my judgement after finishing KZ3.

Even though I love the clan stuff and was responsible for me playing kz2 mp. It seems media/critics didn't care about that feature.

I would love to see why they dropped the squad spawn

Did it really sell 5mil?

I don't think this demo is going to damage sales. The players interested in the game were already set on buying it, but I don't think it will improve them.
 
No cinema mode? NO FUCKING CINEMA MODE!?!?!! A feature that we were constantly asking about before Killzone 2 released!?!?! Are you fucking kidding me GG? Seriously!?

WTF!!!! I said this earlier many times that the 3D and MOVE mandate from Sony has taken their resources away that could have been used to add some real game play features that would have vastly improved this game. Honestly I love the MOVE in this game but I would have been ok without it and plus I have no fucking 3D tv just like 95% gamers out there. No squad system in a TEAM based game???? No custom tracks??? no photo mode no theater mode??? only about 8 new maps??? this is your flagship 1st party AAA FPS Sony!! this is such BS!! This game should have been delayed for another 6 months like I have said before.

Seb, any reason why the in-game squad hud was removed? Couldn't find a way to integrate it better?

The whole way squads work has been changed and we did not need it anymore.

really GG??? really??? so now I can't join or invite someone who is in the game to teamup in the squad? oh yeah you guys took away the squad leader spawn too.. cuz it was useless right???
 
Sort of unrelated but while I was here waiting for KZ3 to work, I went into Home to check out the Killzone minigame and OMFG whoever developed that shooter needs to burn in hell. It controls like shit. Never had so much unfun in my life.
 
There is no official mandate as far as i know (UC3 doesn't have Move support), but I agree. This seems really rushed. Missing features from the last game, servers dying two weeks before it ships, mess of a UI. I've felt this way since that Alpha build, which didn't really give them a lot of time to fix things.

Next time they should do a beta when in prototype stage.

I would've liked to see what improvements GG could've done to the engine without having to worry about 3D and Move. Maybe we would've seen an Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2 level of improvement.

Yes it sucks balls. Got my 3 Unlock points though.
 
Been playing with the Move for about 30 minutes. I don't know how you guys play better with it. I feel so handicapped. Gotta keep practicing.

I'm saying the "alpha beta" was too close to actual release date, and was a complete mess.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I get that. They should start the beta earlier than that so they have enough time to fix things.

I just looked it up on Youtube and holy shit it looked bad. I remember the inFamous one was actually kind of fun.

Yep. That's how it goes. Needs practicing like anything you do that you haven't ever done before.

It goes without saying you should practice against bots rather than other people online. Not that you have any other option right now...
 
I can't get the alternate control scheme to work. Every time I select it in the options menu, it resets itself somehow when I start to play. On a scale of 1 to 10 on how annoying that is, it's about 200.

Yeah, TTP, I am rocking these bots out

If you're playing with a DS3 + Move, alternate control scheme is broken (L2 zooms, L1 grenade).

Thank you, good sir. 25 minutes I spent trying to get it to work. I thought I was just amazingly dumb.

I had more fun running around for the stupid assistance crates, it's like whoever programed the aiming sensitivity never played a shooter before.
