Yeah my thoughts exactly. Honestly I am so involved with inFamous I would not have gotten around to getting the patch until I am done anyway. Still kind of sucks though, I know a lot of people were looking forward to it.

For the first time I saw lame ass hacks in Killzone 2. It completely destroys the game. I'm so irritated that I'm not even gonna play the game anymore. More and more people are using hacks to get into walls and shoot people and you can't kill them.

The most problematic map is Blood Gracht at ISA spawn point. Some players go into walls right in the spawn building of ISA and shoot people with a magnum gun and you can't kill them. As soon as you try running across the bridge they kill you. The guy that was the most annoying had 153 kills and 1 death.

It's really sad. So much for cheating free playing. I guess I"m going back to Xbox 360 for more play. This is really pathetic.

Have you experienced these hacks?

[Budious]

Has there been a patch that allows customized controls for this game yet? I use Alternate 1 as my current scheme but it leave a lot to be desired for me, I hate all the default controls for this game, if they would add custom button layout I would go back to playing it but as it is I quit around mission 3.

1.27 is out now, there's a lot of changes including the new precision aiming mode, so everyone should try the game again (Y)

[Budious]

I'd still like to have an option to swap L3 run with a less used control like melee combat, trying to run while using the left stick is impossible for me.

[HTF]

ooo new update, haven't played this one in a while. ill have to go check it out.

yeah at first, having the run on L3 was difficult for me as well, but i seemed to get used to it after a while of playing.

The run is toggled though so you don't need to keep it held down, I really don't see too much problem with it, maybe it's just me.

First impressions across the boards are the new precision aiming mode is(Y)) Remember you have to turn it on in options if you're played KZ2 before.

The dead zone has been tweaked so now you can track enemies even when they're running and small corrections to aim for the head are much easier now, the sense of "weight" is still there so the game still feels Killzone with the new controls, I can assure everyone will be using them from now on.

edit:> Gotta go finish packing, no time to play, but I tried out the new precision mode in SP, works and feels better, I'm sure you'll all agree.

Finally..the most annoying thing was the 5-10 secs Invulnerability at spawn point.

[KoL Veteran]

Finally, I was waiting for this

[KoL Veteran]

Its easier now to get kill with the air bot. I already got two air support ribbons :D

New maps released today. Southern Hill is awesome. There is a nuclear explosion and if you don't get cover it will kill you. Love that map.

How to survive a nuclear attack. http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/06/11/...nuclear-attack/

Funny video :laugh:

Anyone else grab the new maps?

Read quite a few comments about how good looking they apparently are...

Yea, but I haven't been on for a few days, work schedule is odd this week.

[KoL Veteran]

Both maps look amazing. My favorite is Southern Hill with the nuclear explosion.

About to start playing this again, want to see what it's like online with the new aiming controls.

Did you guys buy the new map pack through the sharing account we have?

When were the new controls implemented? I finally got to see first hand what Killzone 2 was like the other day. My friend hadn't played in a while so it was a little rough regardless but how much of the control scheme was changed?

Slightly off topic but is there any view where you can aim down the barrel of the gun?

About a month back now.

However if you had already started playing the game the new controls have to be turned on in the options, "precision mode". Only people who're just putting the disc in for the first time and patching before play have it enabled by default.

Not been bought yet, I can do that tonight or tomorrow though. :)

Give me a shout if you do and I'll split it with you again.

[gigatexel]
