Killzone 2

[HBK619]

I've just been playing warzone 32 player games (no wonder im getting lag )

Even with the lag online is so good, unfortunately i can't make this weeks clan event but definitely the next one.

Yeah, well I'd chuck the limit down to say 8(Could try 16 first as well) maximum and see what you get, should be better if your connection is at least alright.

That's ok about the clan event, it won't be a full blown one anyway at the moment, just probably all of us in one game instead of a proper valor points on the line clan event, that can be left until we have grown in skill.

All of us can just hang around at the spawn point and let caMo go run around.

What you have to know is that Warzone is basically the one mode, it is a changing gametype mode, you have I think 5 set modes(Deathmatch, Search & Destroy(Like the COD match types), Capture and Hold(Zones type match), Search & Retrieve(CTF type match), and one other I'm forgetting?), that can be edited by hosts as to how many of those are played, there is a time limit to each mode and once one finishes the next starts.

It takes a while to get used to, but keeps the game really fresh and completley stamps out things like camping and such(Unless your just playing in the 1 or 2 game types).

The voice over will tell you what you need to do at the start of each mode, and you will get objective pointers if your on an objective mission, so you will get used to it soon enough.

....

OK, so Warzone is 1 game type and skirmish is the revolving game type?

I had the sound down fairly low as my kids were asleep, so wasn't paying too much attention.

It was skirmish and the objectives kept changing.

Pretty fun though

OK Killzone 2 players, beware....my skills will soon increase. I'm having a PS360 controller made

Note, my skills will still be well below par so no need to beware

 

[scooterb]

Xbox analog stick and triggers + PS3 d-pad?

 

[Kerrby]

PlayStation controller in the shape of a 360 controller?

Nope

Correct

Sweet

Nice idea, not sure if its because I'm used to it but I quite like the 360 controller.

 

[Mancey]

I was used to the ps boomerang before i bought my first xbox, but if i ever went back i'd need one of those.

The ps3 controller is garbage for anything that requires fine work. Dpad is better than the xbox's tho

I haven't used the PS3 controller much so can't really comment. As for the dpad it doesn't phase me since I rarely use the thing.

 

[Mancey]

If you've used the ps one or 2 controller you've used the ps3 one.

Has analogue triggers, the motion sensor deal in it so you can play amazing games like flower with it, and the early ones are about a quarter of the weight of a ps1 controller.

Otherwise basically the same

Ahh ok didn't mind the PS1\2 controller though prefer the 360.

 

[caMoGFC]

i've seen that controller before but i thought it was just a joke

i didn't realize it was for real

does it have sixaxis control as well? (i couldn't be bothered reading the link)

 

[caMoGFC]

what the hell does that even mean?

fine work?? like what?.......aiming in a fps?

i can't say i've ever had a problem doing anything with the ps1/2/3 controller

 

[caMoGFC]

ok they seriously need to stabilize their online.


i just had my biggest round ever (the gametypes went for a fair while in this one)

and i scored over 200 points with over 150 kills and it d/c'ed when it was retrieving statistics from server and gave me an error.....

now i can't even get online and i asked others and they can.

seriously.....
all i want is to consolidate my spot inside the top 1% of players so that i can get all four of the online leaderboard trophies in it's debut week.


i mean god damn....
all up now being d/c'ed has jibbed me of about 700 points and i only have about 5800 points total!

 

[scooterb]

I still haven't been dc'ed ONCE.

Forward your ports. It's not hard.

I had a few games with Jeffers1984 (ciggy_the_swan). I was playing crap in the first 2 games, I had about 2 times as many deaths as kills. But the last game on Pyrhus Rise was a major improvement. Once again I missed out on my 8th good conduct ribbon to get the medal because I melleed one of my team-mates bots and it exploded.

Does anyone find that they need to play at least 3 or 4 games to get into the groove? With CoD or Resistance, I can just jump straight in, but with Killzone, i'm continually having to readjust.

Killzone made me miss the tremor as well. Bitch.

 

[grrofunger]

yep killzone does take me about half an hour to adjust and to start playing ok where as you say i can jump right into cod4 or waw and play well from the start

i have forwarded my ports and still had the odd disconnection but nothing like i had to begin with

 

[caMoGFC]

i don't really find it takes me too long to jump into the groove with kz2

however when i start playing bad...it tends to last for a good long period and i generally will get HORRIBLE stats for a period of time with the style i play...(4-5 straight deaths type horrible)
but then when i start playing good again it more than evens things out since i can get kills pretty quickly...but i get slumps all the time in this game

i've noticed it in this much more than any other game i've played online


and also i will ask my friend about the ports...

i'm certain he forwarded ports for when he set up tversity (which now i've changed to ps3 media server due to it's ridiculous superiority with HD content)

i've never had a problem with any other online game like this

i'm just an unlocky sob with kz2 ...

Not really, Skirmish is the offline mode against bots, Warzone is online, they both have the revolving gametypes(Unless changed by host).

Does anyone find that they need to play at least 3 or 4 games to get into the groove? With CoD or Resistance, I can just jump straight in, but with Killzone, i'm continually having to readjust.

Tends to take me about 10 or so minutes to get into the groove, can be a bit annoying as I start off with negative K/D, then suddenly get it back and going good again.

I find that I do have huge lulls in my games though, like I'll be going insanely good getting 5 kills to every death, then I'll suddenly be dying over and over.

Had some BRILLIANT games with danmath89(BF: EasternHills) last night/this morning, was fantastic, we were on the same team for each game, I had about an even K/D ratio(Or 1-2 kills up) in each game, the game we were playing was so evenly matched too, almost each match type ended in a draw we were just so even.

7:30pm onwards Sunday(8/3) ok for everyone to play in the 'Clan' event?

Remember to have your headsets on too.

 

[Kerrby]

I'm okay to play. (Hopefully).

I should be there.

I'm assuming that a USB headset will work, but i'm not 100% sure if the cable will reach the couch and i'm not sitting on the floor for hours on end.

Did the update fix your d/c errors caMo? According to one the GG devs on the Playstation forums, they know about problems on the Middle East and Australian servers. It could have been fixed with 1.2?
