Killzone 2

[Arecsa]

I think the game is still balanced with the assault class.

It's too much of a cluster**** when it comes to search and destroy/defend. Rockets and grenades are launched all over the place and its just ridiculous.

I think if it was only disconnection issues with Gears 2 everyone would've been loving it, instead...

Instead what?

 

[HBK619]

Instead what?

Well instead there were heaps of different and sometimes game breaking issues(Such as those found BEFORE the game was even released) that weren't fixed until a money grabbing DLC was released pissing off numerous and many gamers, also the issue surrounding poor match making and no region select(Some such issues that have only just been fixed in the past month).

You just have to play it smart, I managed plenty of kills with minimal deaths in both search and destroy rounds, all because of how I played it, I stayed away from the main areas and scouted well, and often went after those who were trying to camp/snipe, etc.

I would have said a few patched bugs<<<<being disconnected for no reason, but no worries

Oh God, I lol'd.

Not really, not when those bugs are game breaking, works out to be about the same.

First patch for Killzone 2 arrived within 1 day of the game being released, with a second being released within a week, the patch for Gears 2 comes after DLC.

Oh God, I lol'd.

You really don't think it did? Epic releases payed for DLC before fixing up their game when people were crying out for it, you don't think that pisses people off?

This is just some of the issues people had(Several of those issues that were highlighted BEFORE release): http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/690821/Gears_of_War_2_Multiplayer_Patch_Requests.html

 

[grrofunger]

the higher up you rank in this game the more n00bish it becomes

rocket launchers and grenade spammers everywhere

wtf

how is a rocket launcher a reward or perk worth aiming for or rewarding players with

No, it doesn't work out to be the same. There were a few bugs with Gears 2, but at least it wouldn't sporadically disconnect you from games. That's the kind of thing that would deter me from playing online at all.

BTW, maybe you should have read what I bolded. That's what I was laughing at.

It wasn't just a 'few' bugs(Making it out to seem small too)? There were major matchmaking and lag issues, you can read about it almost everywhere(Here for 1), matchmaking and lag issues are in no way better than sporadic(At best sporadic too) disconnections.

The reason I ended up playing COD4 for such a short time was EXACTLY those reasons, matchmaking and lag problems, those of which still exist now, as I said it is the worst online structure I've ever seen.

I can take a disconnection every now and then(Even though I have only had 2 at the most anyway) than lag and shithouse or long waits for a game to be made, considering all it takes is to search(And be able to pick and choose which match) either another game or the same and enjoy it with NO LAG, so I lose a few points when disconnected, it's no real biggy(Pardon the pun), I'd rather a good gaming experience while I am playing(And let's face it that's what it is all about, not points/ranks/etc. it's about having fun while playing) than lag any day of the week, and I'd say the majority would too.

Lastly, GG have already stated they know about the random disconnections and are working on it, so I wouldn't say it will be too long before the majority of disconnections are gone.

Oh, you laughed because I wrote 2 words that basically mean the same? Wow, I wish I had your humour.

I don't need to read about it. I can play it and I don't notice any lag. It takes a while to find a game sometimes and I've seen the shotgun glitch occur a couple of times, but never any horrible lag.

I personally think it's one of the best games I've ever played online. Almost instantaneously entered into matches and no lag unless playing against people from other countries, but that's the same for any game anyway. I guess being able to filter by region would have been a nice bonus, but that's in WAW anyway.

You're right, it is about the gaming experience and Gears of war 2 is a great one when you can get a game sorted. I'm hoping that the latest patch which will be released....today I believe will rectify some issues as it will add local search and replace players who have dropped out with bots.

I'm glad they've stated that and are working on their netcode. Let's just hope to god they fix the problem before releasing DLC, that could really piss some people off otherwise.

I'm glad you admire my sense of humour, just as I admire yours and the joy you bring to every thread along with the flamboyant fanboyism you seem to sprinkle everything with.

I'm finding a lot more games are being made with those weapons disabled lately, and the game plays so much better without them. If there were vehicles in multiplayer I could see them being needed, but right now I feel like it's perfect without them.

Good for you, I can play Killzone 2 and only have the maximum 2 disconnections I have had so far as well(I'm not ignorant though and know this issue is there for some), but it certainly hasn't ruined my gaming experience, the online is awesome, up there with the best.

I personally think it's one of the best games I've ever played online. Almost instantaneously entered into matches and no lag unless playing against people from other countries, but that's the same for any game anyway. I guess being able to filter by region would have been a nice bonus, but that's in WAW anyway.

I personally think it is too, but the lag kills the experience, both Resistance games have had little to no lag when playing against people OS, so COD4 must be doing something wrong.

LOL, nice bonus? Hardly, the online set-up is shit, and if it continues it deserves to lose people from playing the game and going to others with far better set-ups, the feature should be on EVERY online game, without question, anyone who doesn't think so has rocks in their head.

I'm glad they've stated that and are working on their netcode. Let's just hope to god they fix the problem before releasing DLC, that could really piss some people off otherwise.

Probably, but GG actually care about their community, thus they are working hard on rectifying issues and certainly won't be releasing the DLC before the next patch anyway(Which will most likely fix a lot of the disconnection issues).

I'm glad you admire my sense of humour, just as I admire yours and the joy you bring to every thread along with the flamboyant fanboyism you seem to sprinkle everything with.

Flamboyant fanboyism? Really? Where?

 

[Ant_]

Don't have any issues with Gears 2 online?

 

[jordanrobbo3]

Yep, 2 more levels. The 2nd last is a short vehicle level and then you're almost home.

Almost home? Visari Palace was epic!! Online here i come! Is it still too late to get a clan invite??

 

[grrofunger]

speaking of which , is there a planned clan event for any stage?

like a real one against another clan for points and stuff?

 

[grrofunger]

gee i made that sound interesting and fun didnt i

Not at all. HBK will probably add you next time he's online.

Despite the clan name, we're just in it for fun.

Was working fine for me about 20 minutes ago.

 

[grrofunger]

yet 3 of my mates are also having the same problem tonight

its so random

just finished a game with 40 odd kills and 20 deaths by far my best individual kill death ratio game and it lost the host right at the end - so i dont get the credit for it

i am just about ready to pull the disc out of the ps3 and snap it in half

Strange, I've played a good 3(Longish) matches now with nothing, in fact it is actually playing alot better tonight than it has previously, the hit detection seems to be working very well and there is rarely any lag with a kill.

Have been having a cracking time, just had a quick round with only 10 people in it and went 12 kills and 2 deaths, earlier I had a round where I joined Ciggy and went about 25 kills and 12 deaths, then the next round I top scored with 34 kills and about 23 deaths, it's been great fun, and every match brings something different.

 

[Arecsa]

I didn't have any luck earlier. I did end up in the top 6% last week so I got 2 trophies when I logged on though. Couldn't find a decent game and ended up getting a disconnection error after joining my 2nd game. The one game I played in didn't have enough people, I think it ended up being 3v3. But I, luckily, grabbed ribbons in both assassination modes, so I'll take it.

 

[Jeffers]

Like HBK had no problems at all last night. Was having real problems about 2 weeks ago but lately it has been real stable for me (ie. not one disconnect).

Although i still get a bit of death lag which is excruciating.

My KD is about 0.7 haha and comparing myself to the other clan members i seem to be the most trigger happy (and obviously most innacurate)

 

[Gridlock'd]

Ive never had any troubles with the servers at all.
