Killzone 2 Dated.

[OzzofAsura]

the speed boost with kz2's controls is just silliness.

You mean good or bad? Cuz you can strafe around people really fast.

[Akiyama]

Yeah. God forbid the controls get a little faster on KZ2 or you get four kills in one shot.

My method is I go Assault when the room is full of em. I figure I have to balance out the retardedness. Yes. That's a word now.

Killzone 2 Online Championships Announced! - PlayStation.Blog

Anyone see this? lol

Authentic (and wearable) Killzone 2 Helghast suits and Sta 52 Rifle replicas as well as other prizes and free DLC codes as rewards.

Amazing

ASSEMBLE BG CLAN

What I mean is that running as fast as Boost makes you run is unfair when you consider that the people who are trying to shoot you absolutely can't keep up.

Assault is way too beastly, even without the rocket launcher. I get just as many kills when I trade it for an assault rifle.

[Kiarax]

They should definitely lower the speed, the constant health regen whilst it's active is strong enough alone without the speed. Also it makes delivering the speaker absolutely retarded easy, it's impossible not to score when you pick that thing up as Assault.

That's my only complaint. Could be said for Assassination as well.

The online championship prizes look pretty cool

[Akiyama]

The assassination things are easy, yeah.. but the speed being a problem? I dunno. I have no problem killing assaults/slowing them down for my team members when they have "BOOST" going. That and I have trouble delivering the speaker thing sometimes because my idiot teammates pick it up as like..Medic or something.

[Kiarax]

The hard part is picking up the speaker.

[Akiyama]

No kidding. Everyone wants points, but if the team were smart, they'd be like "Get the Assaults together!" etc. Guess that'd be easy with everyone using a mic and clan teams.

I prefer to stand back and guard the delivery spot cause I know someone with Boost will have a better chance at scoring than I will. I usually won't even bother trying to pick it up unless I need to get it away asap.


Reminder: DLC comes out today.

Just downloaded the 2 new maps and did a quick run on Wasteland Bullet.

First impression is that the layout is pretty cool. Air Support doesn't die from the environment as easy as I thought it might. I ended up leaving the game though due to the heavy lag. The match was in the middle of seek and destroy and I would head to the target making sure to avoid the environment when jumping between trains. I'd run and be inside the train and all of a sudden die to the environment. Others were complaining about the lag as well.

I'll try both maps out more tomorrow morning when I have more time.

I'm usually Tact/Assault, so I make sure I'm the first person at the speaker spawn point, it's easy on the first spawn, but on the 2nd I'm facing a bunch of people on Assault.
Bought DLC, downloading now so I haven't tried it yet.

[Norelco]

Bleh, PSN stalls my update for the past day.

[Shojin]

Internet problem or PS3 problem? Could probably do a system file restore to fix that if it is to do with the PS3.

[Tomiko]

Just got through playing a couple lag-free matches on Wasteland Bullet. Some things:

-Not sure if it was mentioned in the DLC notes, but there seem to be trophies for each class for each new level. I got the Scout and Engineer ones so far.

-During Capture and Hold, not many seem to go for the top middle spot.

-It helps to learn the pattern/spots of the overhead obstacles when going on the roof. I think most avoided the roofs cause of this but it was easy enough to learn where it was safe to stand.

-Assassination is a blast. Lots more places to hold up and have your team defend you.

-Boost isn't as great as it is in other levels due to the obstacles. There's not really many straight paths and iirc you have to climb stairs to get to the speaker delivery spots. Its still good though.

-Don't charge/camp your opponent's base. It's better to take the fight to either the middle or your side.

-If the other team does charge you, Sniper does great at the top of the stairs in your base. Make sure to know where to stand to avoid getting killed by overhead things. Spot and Mark > Kill > back up to go on down the stairs and out of the line of fire. Repeat. I think I got 10 kills or so before they finally killed me. Sniping from the roof is also nice since you can pick off the people hiding behind boxes.

-Good Tacticians are great to have as usual.


Next time I'll try Vecta Cruiser.

[Cydewinder]

I wish I could play right now, I'm currently leeching off of my neighbors internet and I guess the weather is killing the connection.
My ISP is coming tomorrow and I'll be hooked up again. :D

For the short amount of time I was actually able to play I notced not many people go on the roof, was real easy to rack up kills, I still haven't been able to play VC online.

Dunno. When I did the connection check it couldn't connect to PSN, and my signal strength on my wireless router was at 77%.

I just got back into KZ2, and jesus pretty much everyone is at star rank, im like rank 7 still, Which mode gets the most points so far, and I still can't read the scoreboard, i just know i mostly make it to the top 5

[Cydewinder]

Bodycount will get you the most points, you get 3 for each kill, Bodycount only rooms aren't hard to find.

[Shojin]

GG devs played yesterday, was advertised on PSblog with the passwords for the rooms, got to play with some of them on the new maps, thought it was funny some of them weren't even at General rank yet

I'm doing a killzone playing spree most of this week trying for that damn Valor Grand Cross trophy (top 1% for the week). Doing okay so far, ranked in the top 100 if anyone wants to add me my PSN is TheManick
