Killzone 3

[Nemez]

I like snow

[da-N-ks]

i dont like it that much but only played it for 5 mins^^

[Ivan The Destroyer]

they ruined the game for me

they made all the guns more accurate and more powerful and have less recoil, so you die in like 3-4 shots (basically weapon play is cod)

they took away custom servers with passwords and where you can choose what the gamemode you want for how long, what classes you want, what the weapons even, and they put in matchmaking where you get put in the same kind of game all the time with random people and you dont know how many people will be in your game, and in the beta the matchmaking makes really unfair teams, like 2v8, while in kz2 you could see what the server has how many people, and had a choice of what thekind of game you get into, they made the max multiplayr limit 24 instead of 32, they took away servers and made hosting, so if a host has shitty connection so does everyone else, when in kz2 everyone connects to a server so if one perspon has shitty connection it doesnt affect the others. they took away spawn grenades for tactician and make you capture certain spawn areas that get camped VERY easily, the weapons in each class dont make sense (eg. medic gets silenced m82 that shoots burst, sniper gets helghast assult rifle)

at this point if i dont like the campaign demo, i might rethink getting this game

[Nemez]

Wow, u have been waiting for kz3 for so long ivan, and if it fails, what will u do? More fifa? Or Vodka ;D

[Ivan The Destroyer]

if it fails.... a lot of vodka .... dont know for videogames lol

[da-N-ks]

kz3 isnt cool at all for me and now where i know that bf3 will be released this year i know whats up^^

[Goodfella]

i played the beta for 4 hrs solid and liked it a lot and i thought kz2 controls were nasty, this time around fixed and the one map there was a lotta fun.

[da-N-ks]

maybe we should play together one day john... maybe thats gives me the power to play it longer than 3 rounds ^^

[Ivan The Destroyer]

here's a quickie review after about 2hrs of play

story seems better, i like how they threw in the helghast administration and their struggles to pick a new leader ect.
love to slide into cover, love that brutal melee, controls are faster, although i didnt mind them how they were, isa and hgh rifles are more accurate, and hgh rifle is way better than last time teammates are actually useful, they heal you if you die and they're close enough, so you don't have to go back to a chackpoint, some vehicle gameplay is pretty fun

mp
only about 30 min of gameplay on 2 maps with bots only bc i dont know our wireless password LOL
i heard that they were patching in the ability to customise games again, so we can have those pistols only games like way back, there are three weapons per class, three secondary weapons too, and class abilities are upgradable, those mechs are pretty fun too they threw in a bit of a bfbc type class selection and playing with friends is much easier than beforetaking the amount of players down is sucky for bigger maps, but for small maps is fine (max 24)

wish there were more weapons though, and a choice of attachments, b/c some weapons have them automatically

has a bfbc2 ish feel for me, although if they said they were gonna add vehicles they should've added more than a mech and jetpack, especially since they already have some of them in campaign (isa tank/apc/buggy/hammer/intruder hgh tank/apc/weird bug type thing) they should've made some maps with large open spaces for those vehicles like the atacama desert one in bfbc2

so much for a quick review lmao

EDIT: oh and i got a socom 4 beta voucher gonna see what that's like and willing to share if anyone wants

[Ivan The Destroyer]

and for those who are iffy about this, tomorrow im gonna take an in-depth look at the multiplayer maps b/c ive played only 2 + the one in beta

[Goodfella]

<--------- interested

[maiske]

<--------- not interested. Still don't like the way the game feels.

[da-N-ks]

when i play the beta i fell that the game doesnt react fast enough.... the controls r a bit weird

[Nemez]

<------ interested in your review. cant buy it though coz I cant rape my spare time with yet another fps. I like the kz universe, space natzies is just my thing, could buy it just because of the single player. kz2 single player was the best campaign experience I have had.

[Ivan The Destroyer]

for the story, basically they want to leave the planet but the cruisers are getting raped so they have a short amount of time, they dont do it fast enough and the group gets split in two and rico goes missing you and half of the people are in the jungle eating spider meat. then the helghast find you and take you and narville prisonerthen rico comes out of nowhere and saves you and you break into a top secret hig compound and find out that they are gonna go rape earth and that's about as far as im gonna go here

an update on the mp maps n classes

Corinth Highway: large open map with a road going down the middle of the map, there are two exo's available to take, 2 Tactical Spawn Areas, one at each side of the main road. in the middle of the map there are some buildings where most of the objectives are.
If one team gets both exo's then they can really take over the game imo.
rating: 4/10 exo's are fun nothing else there

Pyrrhus Crater: This map feels like being at a ship in rough seas, and is kinda trippy at first lol. pretty narrow in the middle of the map, with 2 main ways connecting each side of the map only one tactical spawn area in the middle of the map, which means there is a thread of domination by the team that gets it, which means most of the battle is near it. the map is a bit wider closer to each team's spawn.
1/10 whoever gets the spawn point wins, youre forced into chokepoints no matter what

Belgarsk Boulevard: A large destroyed street with big buildings and alleys behind each set of buildings (kinda like salamun market in layout) 2 tactical spawn areas at corners of the map, opposite of eachother.
7/10 a lot of clutter

Frozen Dam: was in the beta, but if you still haven't played, most of the action takes place in the bottom of the map where isa spawn, there are three tactical spawn areas, two of which are at the bottom of the map. three main ways to get from the top to the bottom, you dont wanna be in the very open top area where you'll get picked by a sniper in no time.
6/10 most of the action is on bottom half of the map, if youre at the top snipers will eat you

Akmir snowdrift: a small oil rig connected to an ice island, connected by bridges, but you can fall in the water, the weather changes from mild to really snowy, and if you snipe, using the cloak makes it harder to see (at least on the SD tv that i played on today) 2(i think) TSA's opposite of eachother, and perpendicular to the spawns
4/10 tsa's are open, you get spawncamped across the map, can get hard to see

MAWLR Graveyard: Large map with a main canal that you can go down, and possible 3 or 4 other ways to move around the map, a lot of things that can take attention away from enemies, so you have to be careful on this map. and there is also a large crusher that can be activated by a player in the main canal that will crush players that's pretty fun too
7/10 good but not too much there

Kaznan Jungle: team dethmatch only CoD style, nothing to it
1/10

i havent played turbine concourse yet

classes

Tactician: capture tactical spawn areas for your teammates to spawn at as they took away spawn grenades, has a spot and mark type of ability that goes on every few seconds to scan for enemies, but they fade away over time, and still has the air bots. not as much of a gamechanger as in the last game
weapons: HG SMG silenced/Shotgun/ISA AR

Engineer: repair machineguns, ammo crates, and build sentries. upgraded sentries shoot rockets every few seconds, so sentries are a bit better. Has a hack ability so you can go up to an enemy turret and make it yours until you die.
weapons: ISA MG/ISA(maybe HG) SMG/ HG MG

Infiltrator: saboteur from the last game, but this time you can melee people without loosing your cloak after you improve the ability, and also can have a much longer sprint than other classes
weapons: Shotgun/HG SMG/HG AR silenced

Medic: heal/revive people, eventually get a small bot that shoots enemies, and can also get to revive yourself if you die not from a headshot or melee, and if no one shoots you after you die
weapons: ISA SMG/ISA MG/ ISA AR silenced

Marksman: use the cloak, but this time it has a time limit until you upgrade it, when you can use it for as long as you want, and it doesnt go away if you kill someone with a silenced weapon, which you can get as a sidearm
weapons: HG rifle/ HG AR/ sniper

hitboxes are complete BS, i fully missed a guy sniping and still got the kill

[da-N-ks]

so u think ;; bu it fgts''?

[Ivan The Destroyer]

that doesnt make any sense

[Ivan The Destroyer]

final impression

story is good

mp is meh, downgrade really in my eyes

already getting sick of it. why? took away spawn grenades, took away spawning on squad leader, put tsa's that get spawncamped easily. maps cluttered with garbage, made more for looks than function, best maps are the remakes of salamun market and blood gracht. snipers running around with assault rifles and being invisible not all maps have all game modes,(jungle map only team dethmatch wtf). weapons have no recoil, basically point and click whoever sees the other first wins. health is too low. it tries to be cod and bfbc at the same time and takes bad parts of both, really a flop, better go get my vodka

makes me wanna play killzone 2 though

[Ivan The Destroyer]

killzone is probably my fave series, hell it was the reason i got ps3, ive been looking to this game since the last one came out, and ive never been so dissapointed. their identity was a realistic shooter that had good teamplay mechanics. they scrapped that and put in cod killstreaks (almost) cod instakill weapons, cod perks, bfbc vehicle (yes 1 vehicle) gameplay that's not even good. the maps in the last one were good and balanced. in this one they look pretty but fail hard in gameplay. feels like they made the maps in half an hour

the only way i can be more dissapointed is if episode three is a side-scrooling stickman game

and yes i did triple post, why? because im the admin so suck me (im just a tiny bit angry, at no one here, but angry)
