Killzone 3(maybe official thread?)

I was about to ask you the same question, because Im pretty sure its not shown anywhere

Awesome :o

as I said a few pages back, with a broken medic, people learn not to use them or wait and even though its now fixed, that mentality has already been formed so you are unlikely to see it improve when playing with randoms (even with a good squad youll find the same happening - cos honestly I rarely wait myself unless I hear someone telling me they are coming, I used to wait when the beta came out cos I was a medic assuming it was the done thing myself).

Its one of the truths of class based FPSs if you dont get the balance right on support classes and make them so obviously useful then people learn to ignore them...

That's what I seem to be questioning at the moment. The benefit of me reviving someone versus them simply respawning isn't that great - Sure you give a player extra health and ammo but is it worth lying around waiting for someone to appear or just hit X? Combined with the fact that you rarely see any medics playing people will just assume there isn't one and respawn ASAP.

Ive like the setting of this game, the weapons and classes are quite balanced, but Guerilla in my eyes need to fix the win vs lose bonus (or penalise non-team players) to improve games (Operations is fine but Warzone could be a complete level of complexity better if we found more organised enemies) and never should have left Medic as it was for release. The guys that played the beta with me know how much I moaned how poor it was, it wasnt like it wasnt completely obvious...

I do find it strange that the multiplier is as high as it is for losing. You would think they'd set the multiplier low to encourage people to play as a team and want to win :p

There is one simple way to fix it - improve the map so other than showing friendlies and squad friendlies it also shows who of them are medics. If I know someones near thats a medic, Ill shout over comms for assist while I wait to 'die' rather than waiting to push x to respawn - Im sure MAG shows you medics on map...

It truly annoys me that such little things havent been thought of as it would make medics more useful on the team and more importantly a class people want to play as...

These posts make me wanna post on KZ3 forums, but I know they wont be heard...

Well, turns out I have kept my copy so long that the next patch is imminent. Today I think.

And patch 1.06 was mentioned by the Dev who posted the info to tackle client side performance!

Hopefullt they mean frame rate and not lag... Though lag sucks too I guess...

So guess will wait a bit longer again, and see what this patch does :)
 
Don't know if it's the placebo effect, but it does seem to be running a bit better.

Not perfectly, but the drops in frame rate feel more like 25 FPS, rather than 15 to 20.

So will be online a bit tonight :)
 
I was playing most of the weekend.

I can't help but feel that we need a flamethrower on one of the classes to route out infiltrators, TF2 "spycheck" style :p

Can someone hit me up with an invite please?

(Stella I'm already on your friends list "rob_db")
 
Love this game but i hate fact ive bought the Retro map pack whilst the maps are good for the last 20 games its done nothing but chose the retro maps, not even giving an option to vote for different ones.

The map preferences is set to any, My friends at work are also having the same issue since buying it :(

Any ideas people?
 
We had this same issue yesterday - just kept playing Saluman Market until we were forced to choose a map and play that for a while...

Its only something Ive noticed since the Medic patch but unsure why its happening. I can only think that the map pack breaks any default map cycle by not being featured so when you are on it you get stuck on it...

My only suggestion is to squad up with someone who doesnt have that map pack and let them be squad leader - that should hopefully mean theres less chance being stuck on such a cycle...

If my suggestion above isnt possible I can only say to keep choosing a map preference and dropping out every few maps - its an hassle but hey least its a good way to learn maps when you are replaying them a few times...

well picked up the helghast edition for the princely sum of £40 this week and have to say although the single player mode was good fun I felt it lacked any degree of difficulty.

I played it on vetern mode from the off and to me it felt like it was on easy.

Is there much of a step up to elite? I hope so as I was expecting a bit of a challenge not completing it in under 6 hours.

I haven't played it online yet but I may give it a go over the weekend given that i have some codes for double xp and some skill points and unlocking all the weapons at least for the first 24 hours.
 
Had a great laugh playing online, they've improved guerilla warfare by making it longer. I also don't rage as much on this as I do BO. Seems to be less campers too.
 
Right, I bought the sharpshooter attachment for my move controllers for use on this game and I'm close to throwing it all out of the nearest window! I simply can't get the hang of it. I try to move to hit a target, it doesn't move fast enough so I move a bit further and it practically turns 180 degrees, then I'm getting shot at so I get frustrated and move quicker and it all goes to pot.

The calibration never seems to stay in the right place, that's even with the whole room dark and me right in front of the middle of the tv, standing about 5 ft back.

So tempted to send it all back. Anyone have any suggestions? I've tried changing the sensitivity and deadzone right the way down but it's bad enough just trying to strafe around a fixed target, keeping the cursor locked on it!

Have you watched the IWaggle vid off youtube? If not have a watch as he give you some good pointers on how to set it up with Move.
