Killzone 2

[HBK619]

Sounds to me rather than going through the rigmarole of an on screen prompt, and a refusal pissing off the medic who was trying to do the right thing by you in the process...

If you get revived...surely it'd be more logical just to make your initial death not count? I mean, if you're revived you're not really dead?

It could have been an oversight by the devs, but as it stands this is how it works.

You get shot and either die or are mortally wounded for it's 8 seconds(Pretty sure), at the end of the 8 seconds you can either press X to respawn or you can keep crawling around on the ground hoping to be revived(You cannot do anything but crawl, you can not move, shoot, melee, nothing) or wait until you are shot dead(About 2 bullets to do), I don't think there is a time limit on how long you can continue crawling around on the ground for, someone revives you, you are left with the amount of bullets you had with your main weapon when you died(Not sure?), plus your infinite amount of bullets with the handgun and have to fend for yourself from there.

Now when you get shot and are either killed or mortally wounded is that the kill instantly goes to whoever shot you dead(or wounded), I'm not sure however if another kill(And a death to you) goes to the person who shot you down again or not though, if not then it isn't really an issue for me as it gives you some more time to try and fight(Very much like the last stand in COD, only with more freedom), and at times I have gotten an extra kill or two out of it.

Can you actually control where you crawl?

You learn something new everyday....

No, it's just auto movement, would be nice though.

I couldnt trade this in today (new store), so I've got until monday to decide...

am i the unluckiest sob ever??

another ripper of a game this time with nicko99 on my team
i was already over 100 points about 4/5ths into the match and then my ps3 freezes in my highest point gaining gametype (bodycount)
but it wasn't the net this time...it was the ps3 freezing!

if it's going to bloody freeze can't it do it AFTER i receive my points and kills AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

if i was to add all the scores that i've been denied by bad luck i'd be bloody top 1000 in the world by now (scorewise) without the stat padding like those other losers up there with 60+ kill streaks from playing against the easy bots

 

[scooterb]

I still haven't had any problems.

I checked your stats and your highest kill streak is 13.

Mine is 6.
3 of them came from one grenade.

yeh streaks are pretty tough to get in this game i've found
mainly because your health only ever regens back to half when you're almost dead....and you don't get any cod4 like perks to help it along
even though i don't really try to get a long streak going...i just want to kill as many ppl as i can and get as many points as i can

i've had a couple of streaks around the 10 mark though.
it was 11 before that...i must've gotten the 13 last night or today or something

kerrbs killspree of 1 is pretty impressive in his 12 mins and 10 seconds online...
that's killzone 2's biggest fan right there!

 

[HBK619]

Had some great fun tonight, after finally unlocking the shotty, and it is perfect for me, I'm very much the reflex player and it is great for a 1-2 shot insta-kill, am yet to perfect my use of it though, but it is definitely the choice for me so far.

One thing though after a few plays tonight, I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE friendly fire! Why would anyone have it as an option in a competitive match? It's just so friggen stupid, I'm trying to play and I have to literally look at the names and make sure they are wearing the right outfits before I can shoot, it's just insanely stupid.

Oh BTW I LOVE the feature where you can hear the opposition on their headsets when they are close, has some hilarious things when you take someone out unexpectedly or just before you die, or take a couple out at a time, so funny.

You serious?

 

[HBK619]

You serious?

Are you serious? It's friggen stupid, don't give me any of that, "Well it makes you more careful" bullshit, it is awful, why have friendly fire when you are in a competitive match(Especially in a close-quarters combat map)? What use is it? It just gets your team-mates killed and half the time I'm on the receiving end of the bullets/frags too.

 

[Mancey]

So you're calling any hardcore mode on a fps shooter, ie, the realistic mode...stupid? The mode which weedles out the nade spammers and pray and sprayers

You say some ****in funny shit sometimes man

Stick to noob mode

The ****en problem is I'M ON THE RECEIVING END ON MOST OF THEM(Or I mistake a team-mate for an enemy, which is easy to do with the cloaking perk)!

All because I'm trying to get kills, then some ****wit thinks, I can shoot through you to get to the enemy, it's useless!

It's not like it is any sort of mode like a COD either, these are the regular Warzone matches, just with friendly fire.

 

[Mancey]

Then don't play those modes.

If you can't chose between lobbies that have it or don't, i must say that's rather lame by Guerrilla

Thing is, its default mode on many FPS's.

I know you will never play halo 3, because you think you'll go to hell or something, but i can't think of a single game mode that has friendly fire turned off when playing that.

Even more reason for you not to play it.

Frankly i find your labelling of anything you fail at as stupid....pretty stupid

I fail at it?(What else have I said is stupid because I 'failed' at it?) How the **** would you even know I'm failing at it?

I'm getting killed(And therefore a worse K/D ratio, In one game I went from 20 kills 5 deaths, to about 20 kills 10 deaths because of team-mates killing me, I'm hardly failing) because of team-mates who think it is ok to throw a grenade when I'm near someone, or try to shoot past me, and the only times I kill them is because a)I am a reactive player, I see someone I usually shoot, I rarely have time to wait and see what they are wearing or what their name says as if I do then I could be the one being killed if it is an enemy, b) Because I sometimes have no idea whether they are the opponent or a team-mate because of the cloaking perk, or c) Because they step in front of my shots when I'm trying to line someone up.

It's not like friendly fire is stopping anyone from killing their team-mates or being less n00by.

Can't say I know what Halo 3 has to do with anything either.

 

[Mancey]

See...this is your problem HBK, and the reason why you come off as a bit of a nong. Yes getting team killed by idiots is frustrating, but a normal person would say something like...

"I'm starting to really hate team killers in games with friendly fire activated...

wish people would look at who they're shooting...

if you can't play a gamertype don't activate it etc etc"

But you, no. Instantly because someone team killed you, or you them, the mode is "stupid"...no wait..."insanely stupid", to use your words

The people team killing are stupid, the mode isn't. The reactive player thing is bullshit. Friend or foe recognition is pretty much what those sorts of modes are all about, and no doubt the people on your team you're filling full of lead before you realise they're your mate, think you're a bit simple too.

If i have a team full of friends on CoD4/waw, i play hardcore pretty much exclusively, no doubt i'd do the same in KZ2. I tend not to do it if i'm solo, because you'll always get one nob in your team who just sprays anyone, doesn't deactivate matyrdom and kills his whole team when he dies etc etc. That doesn't mean i think the game mode is stupid, in fact in a good team its 10x more fun than the unrealistic situation where your teamates are magically impervious to your bullets. The fact you accidently kill your team mates now and then, usually becomes a bit of an object of mirth, "sorry mate" etc

Halo was bought up because every game mode in it has friendly fire activated, if it was "stupid", no one would play it. But no, its insanely popular.

If a fps came out these days without friendly fire mode it'd be laughed at frankly.

But Killzone is so realistic?!?!?

 

[Viney]

OK

I put this on this morning and decided to have a BOT match

Can someone tell me what the hell is going on in the MP??

I'm such a n00b

I played Skirmish with BOTS and had no freakin idea what was happening.

It looked great and the aiming etc was better, but the game type kept changing.

Can someone explain?

Also, re the Medics....I remeber in COD3, the 1st death didn't count if you were revived, should be the same in KZ2

 

[davey_magik]

HBK the shotgun n00b?

Seriously shotguns take no skill in all shooters. Just camp in the corner and wait for some poor suspecting soul to come around it and BLAM!

Team mate or enemy...either will do it seems

 

[RoosterLad]

Those who have been involved in real wars know that friendly fire is realistic and can kill.

 

[grrofunger]

im slowly getting better online - had a few good games last night with K/D ratio's above 1 and am slowly learning the maps and aiming - am yet to unlock the shotgun - still blasting away with the original two guns with insane kickback

got 2 ribbons last night

i jumped in a game with camo but had to leave - i had no idea what was going on lol - flying machines and people looking like bots etc - im clearly not up to that level of play yet

i might read the instruction book one day, that might help too

Thats probably why they swear alot

Awesome work my friend

 

[caMoGFC]

you guys are freakon morons

as if you can't see what he was trying to say....calling it "stupid" he just worded it incorrectly.

and i do agree with him.

i guarentee you guys have never played a fps multiplayer with as much environmental destruction with the smoke and dust clouding your vision while opposition are disguised as your team with a real players name from your team and everything....
the battles are so ridiculously chaotic in those situations that you will kill a shitload of your teammates by accident....

i mean i've only killed 2 teammates ever but when i realized it was friendly fire on i left because the other players are idiots and i don't even know how to tell it's a friendly fire match before hand which would be helpful if they had a better indicator

i really don't think it works in this game
also i have been killed by teammates alot more than i killed them and it's annoying as all hell especially when you don't have a tactician placing spawn points back close to the action.

cod games...the realistic/hardcore modes fit right in but i'm not a fan of it in kz2

i don't personally think the team killing mode is stupid....
but in this game so far everyone pretty much is a noob and with everyone randomly firing nobody really stands a chance.



also is it really necessary for you guys to pounce on every little word hbk says?
sure he's said some doozies but ffs give it a rest.

 

[caMoGFC]

But Killzone is so realistic?!?!?

for the last 2 or 3 weeks pretty much the only posts in this forum you've done have been directed at/to hbk....

your infatuation with him is borderline disgusting.


he's just not that into you....mmmk?
