Got some interesting features coming in, the added function for joining friends is a good one, will hopefully offer up far more of a party system, the 'High Precision' option will be good to see how it is implemented.

Certainly good to see such constant support too.

patch looks good

pity i'm not interested in kz2 anymore hehe

I just tested out the high precision mode.

There is no deadzone at all.

You don't have to adapt to the controls after you've played some CoD4 anymore. It feels very similar now.

whooaa...i just went on it a second ago to show my friend who's been in qld for the past 4 or so months and he HATED the way it felt (can't blame him..)
had to d/l a 76mb patch but i didn't try the high precision mode....was that an online option?
if so i might give it a shot

i still think they screwed up with the control feel....regardless of their vision ahaha

i'd be playing it over cod4 or at least in cohesion otherwise
but as it is i never feel compelled to go on it

You have to go to options > controls > high precision mode

I believe that it works for single player and online.

I played 1 game with the original controls and then the next game with the high precision. The difference is definitely noticeable, but I still sucked shit in both games because I hadn't touched a FPS in about 2 months.

a few days ago i tried this out giving the high precision mode a shot.....

i didn't notice too much difference but that is probably due to the fact i've been spoiled by playing cod4's beautiful control system/feel so much again lately.

i most definitely noticed that the air support destroys your health now when before you could pretty much run past them without caring.

also death lag is still massively there.....shot a guy in the head, turn around and he shoots me dead then i see him fly backwards with his head off and me getting the kill :|...........stupid shit.

Massive update great work from GG to continue the support like that. The only issue I have is that the two new weapons could very easily be spammable (Especially in the Search & Destroy).

flamethrower could be interesting in the search and destroys for sure.
bolt gun was awesome in the single player but i don't know how it would be in the multiplayer.....so slow....but maybe alonger range shotgun type weapon?

Does anyone here stil play this online? I got this game last week. The campaign bored the hell out of me, so much so that I haven't bothered to finish it. This is the first shooter that I've played online so everything is a bit hectic for me, but it's heaps of fun

What is the point of squads? I kept getting these squad invites and I accepted one but I have no idea what it meant

yep still play it heaps. Online only. Didn't bother with campaign.

Online is great fun.

It just gives you an extra respawn point.

When you die, the spawn map comes up, and if you belong to a squad, you have the ability to respawn next to your squad leader.

I've found that if your team has no squads or tacticians, you pretty much can't win.

I'm digging up a few old threads today to find some friends on PSN. Can you let me know your PSN ID if you're still playing this? Mine's CrustedOrifice
