[Official] Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

As long as your team actually pays attention to what game type they are supposed to be playing.

PSN is full of n00bs, which I've found out a lot the past 24hrs. The VIP's in Assassination have never heard of the word "cover" before (N)

haha most the guys in my team thought the best way to defend themselves in VIP was to run head first into battle...

Standing RIGHT next to a guy, pumping his body full of lead, seeing the blood spray every where and having him turn around like nothing ever happened and shoot me like two times and killing me - Fail.

Millions of turrets everywhere, placed in hard-to-get-to places and when you finally decide to do an attack on them, you realise the explosion from the turrent kills you and says you commit suicide - Fail. ( Overpowered p.o.s )

Grenade spam every-****ing-where, from both grenade launchers and thrown grenades. All you hear is "Blip, blip, blip" constantly and even the freaking turrets says "blip" just to keep you on your toes or what?! - Fail.

Running around people for a minute straight in some sorta cowboy dance trying to kill them and they are trying to kill you, finally you end up getting some lucky melee punch killing him - Fail.

Invisible walls, located between beams and openings that will absorb your bullets without any indication or sparks flying off the invisible wall - Double Fail.

The number of bullets it takes to kill people ( Personal gripe with most games these days ) - Fail.

Not being able to hear what the hell people are saying due to the brilliant BT technology - Fail.

Selecting me to be the assassination target 6 times in a row, every time we hit an assassination match - Fail.

Playing in a room full of Danes and every one being annoyed and frustrated with the game - Fail.

My hands being totally cramped up because of the ****ty DS3 - Tripple ****ING FAIL!.

To sum up, just had a game with a bunch of Danes I knew from various communities and Live, there was laughs and a relaxed atmosphere and yet the game managed to annoy.

Yay (Y)

The problem with the Assassination mode is that the game doesn't really make you aware that you're the target, unless you're actually paying close attention to the HUD. Unfortunately, not everybody does and as a result we usually find the target at the front of a fire fight :laugh:

It's something they need to address.

It even says "You are the target", if a HUD notice and a voice-over doesn't cut it, perhaps people need to be smacked in the face ... with a 2 x 4.

I know, but like I said the majority of people aren't paying attention. Either that or they aren't aware of what the game mode entails. I guess PSN is just full of newbies :p

I will be on in like 10 or 15 minutes for an hour or so. Have to drive my wife to dinner so she can drink, come home then I have about 2-3 hours.

Regardless of the details will be on in like 10-15 minutes. :laugh:

DL I will join you but one problem I don't have a mic yet. Although I do have an idea, start up the 360 go into a party and use the 360 mics?

A 7:15 EST US (which I think is 12:15 for most of you guys) I am going to create a game for everyone to join. Does this sounds good?

That is in almost exactly 90 minutes.

Sound like a plan?

Because this not being able to join easily with people is really starting to suck, and I want to play with everyone.

if anything we can play against each other if we have enough people, which I know for sure I will have at least 4 of us Americans on.

Let me know.

Should be playing for a good two to three hours.

If you're counting me as one of the 4, make that 3. I'll be on after 8PM EST.

I really love the MP aspect of this game. On the huge maps, you really get a feel for what it would be like to be in a big battle. Just had a game with some NW people and I really enjoyed it. Going to get myself a USB headset so I can speak with people as I play.

Best Multiplayer since COD4 for me.

Yeah, definitely had a really good time just now all. I have to maybe play with some of the server settings and raise the count up some perhaps, but I did the 20 players to try and keep the lag down to a minimum since we are all spread out across the globe, and it appeared to have worked as it was fairly lag free, a very little for me here and there.

So continue to keep playing, it looks like it just leaves the server running which is cool as I thought it might close it when I quit but then I remembered it was dedicated servers.

Really starting to like it and I personally realized tonight, at least for my playing style, it is more about being slow and tactical than anything else and taking my time. Not playing trying to match the frenzied firefights that are happening if that makes sense.

Hopefully my wife lets me back on. (Y) If not I may jump on earlier tomorrow afternoon if possible. game is starting to grow on me for sure.

You guys left and we totally got our asses handed to us.

0-7

Epic fail for the INS clan, lol.

I think it is very safe to say most of us are still getting used to the controls themselves.

And that leads me to this rant...

THE DAMN CONTROLS

For me, they are less than ideal just as a few people have already stated in this thread, but I am confident I will definitely learn them sooner than later. I also feel once I do, I'll feel completely fine using them so while I definitely currently do not like them, I will like them sooner than later, so they are not a huge issue for me right now. While playing, I definitely heard more than several people grumbling about not liking the controls and honestly questioning if they would ever get used to them.

Someone mentioned it before in the thread and I thought it was a very good observation. I agree and think the people who are having the most issues with the controls are in more cases than not people who primarily have only used the 360 the past few years. Do not get me wrong, I think there can also be people who hate the controls just because they are extremely limited and not ideal. No doubt about it they are easy to dislike.. However if you come into using the controls not really using the PS3 much over the past 3 years, it definitely makes them that much more frustrating to use IMO.

I still stick to what I said before though, I really think it grew on me tonight and am looking forward to playing more, maybe even later tonight when my wife falls asleep. :laugh:

Oh one last thing, I definitely do not think I will be ranking up as fast as Munky did, he is some sort of freak of nature with First Person Shooters I think. :p

well it's not that bad.. I'm now used to the R1 to shoot. One thing I don't like is the sprint where you have to click in the left joystick. oh and also to mention I do not like the sensitivity of the joysticks..... sometimes it's moving just too fast.. :s Otherwise, I'm now used to the control.

    • Amazon Prime Day slashes Samsung's newest Galaxy Watch Ultra by 45 percent by Karthik Mudaliar Samsung’s flagship Android smartwatch has received one of its steepest Prime Day cuts. Amazon has dropped the 2025 Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra in Titanium Blue to $357.24, saving buyers around $292 from its $649.99 list price. That's a 45 percent discount (purchase link below). The 47mm Galaxy Watch Ultra uses a titanium casing and a 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 480 x 480 and peak brightness of 3,000 nits. It includes LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, NFC, and dual-frequency L1+L5 GPS for more accurate outdoor route tracking. The 2025 model has 64GB of storage, a 590mAh battery, sapphire crystal glass, 10ATM water resistance, IP68 protection, and MIL-STD-810H durability testing. Its health and fitness tools include heart rate monitoring, sleep coaching, Energy Score, Running Coach, body composition analysis, temperature sensing, and ECG support, where available. This model is best suited to Android users who regularly run, hike, cycle, or train outdoors and want cellular access without carrying a phone. The larger battery, rugged construction, bright display, and dedicated Quick Button also make it a stronger option than Samsung’s regular Galaxy Watch models for extended workouts and demanding environments.

    • Google begins rolling out its post-Epic Play Store billing model next week by Karthik Mudaliar Google has confirmed that its redesigned Play Store billing and fee structure will take effect on June 30, 2026, in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Economic Area. The changes will let eligible developers offer their own payment systems or send users to an external website for purchases, while separating Google’s platform service fee from the cost of using Google Play Billing. The rollout puts concrete dates and detailed rate cards behind the broader Android policy overhaul Google announced in March. That announcement followed a proposed settlement with Epic Games intended to resolve their long-running disputes over app distribution and payments, although the U.S. portion of the agreement still requires court approval. Under the new billing choice program, developers selling digital content or services can display an alternative payment option alongside Google Play Billing. They may also direct users to their own websites to complete a purchase. Developers can use Google’s standard payment-choice screen or design one that complies with the company’s user-interface rules. Choosing another payment processor does not eliminate Google’s cut altogether. The company will continue charging a service fee for transactions associated with apps distributed through Google Play, regardless of whether payment is handled by Google, an alternative provider, or a developer’s website. Google argues that this fee covers the value and infrastructure provided by Android and the Play Store. For developers earning up to $1 million annually, the service fee will generally be 10 percent. That rate also applies to auto-renewing subscriptions. When Google Play Billing is used in the U.S., U.K., or EEA, Google will add a separate 5 percent billing fee, and developers processing payments elsewhere will not pay that additional charge. This means Google’s familiar flat 30 percent commission is disappearing, but developers will not necessarily see a dramatic reduction on every transaction. An in-app purchase from an existing user processed through Google Play Billing can still reach a combined 30 percent. The biggest savings are likely to come from subscriptions, smaller developers covered by the $1 million tier, and companies able to move customers to their own payment infrastructure. Google is also offering lower rates through its Apps Experience and revamped Games Level Up programs. Apps and games that satisfy the company’s requirements can qualify for 15 percent service fees on new-install transactions and 20 percent on existing-install transactions. The criteria include performance and reliability standards, support for additional Android device categories, and selected platform features. Those program rates are scheduled to become available in the initial markets and Australia on September 30. For consumers, the immediate effect will depend on whether developers adopt alternative payments and pass any savings on through lower prices. For developers, however, June 30 begins a more flexible but considerably more complicated Play Store economy in which distribution, billing, install dates, revenue thresholds, and program participation can each affect Google’s final cut. Google is also separately developing a Registered App Stores program designed to simplify the installation of qualifying third-party stores. That initiative is expected to arrive with a major Android release later in 2026 and will launch outside the U.S. first. Google says the rest of the world will receive the changes by September 30, 2027, although billing rates for markets outside the US, UK, and EEA have not yet been announced.
