Everyone being an infiltrator is getting a bit tiresome to say the least, great game otherwise
Not sure if anyone has posted about this, but PS+ subscribers can get their mitts on the Killzone 3 single player demo. It has been released with or without 3D support and works with PS Move. Perfect for me, as I hardly ever play FPS online.. Just not my thing really.. Single player or not at all for me.
I thought it was an excellent game; the controls take a little getting used to. I found putting cover into toggle mode worked best for me. Graphics for a games console are nothing short of phenomenal. The enemy duck and cover, run away and even on normal settings fire fights are not a walk in the park….
I thought the cut scene audio lacked a bit of punch, but overall this is a very polished game and right up there for me with uncharted 2. It has a bit of uncharted 2 look, I dunno it just reminded of uncharted in terms of how graphically impressive it was..
Now, the move implementation is tricky to get set up to how you like it.. I could only make it work for me when using the zoom that snaps the camera and crosshair to the next target, but it does work…. I did however still prefer the gamepad but PS move is interesting and a whole new way to play console FPS games.
Overall this will be a pre order for me, its miles better then COD Black Ops. By a long way for me. Was very impressed with it.

Sorry about dropping out last night poly, mushie and stella, lost my internet conenction, didnt pop back on till after 12, was a bit of a bummer was only 2 rounds away from the end of that match and i was at the top 
Dont worry I got quite frustrated in the last round - was a bit all over the place trying to do the speaker task in warzone with some foreign dudes on our team constantly talking. Really ****ed me off when I got killed twice a few metres away from drop-off cos I just couldnt get support.Sorry about dropping out last night poly, mushie and stella, lost my internet conenction, didnt pop back on till after 12, was a bit of a bummer was only 2 rounds away from the end of that match and i was at the top
KZ3 retail better have some ability to mute people on your side or I wont be too happy - this game, like MAG, is on another level when you have a good squad that communicate...
I too am getting sick of infiltrators

Tried to play 3 or 4 times but I just get connection error. Playing with the bots isn't too bad, the map seems good!
Oh, and playing with the move is just daft! Tried it and hated it.

Playing with the Move is excellent if you put the work in, takes a while to suss out the settings that best suit you though. I find it to be far more accurate with a pad, and it's quicker to aim too.
I played MAG with it for plenty of hours though, so I'm well used to it.

poly finished top in the end and me 2nd but i dont really play for kpd i like winning the objectives more i think the game ended 5-2 to us so that gave us a 1.5 multi for the points .
i know we only had 5 in the squad but even if we would have lost it would have been more fun than playing with randoms who just go on and on about how there kpd is rubbish
hopefully gather some more people tonight and get a full squad now the invite function and game now work most of the time only a few days left this beta ends the 13th i think

Ends?! But that leaves two weeks without any KZ3
By that time I'll be without internet due to my house move, hopefully I can get it all going again quickly.
How much traffic would normally be associated with say an hour of online fps gaming?
My HTC Desire HD can operate as a wifi hotspot you see and I have 3GB allowance...

I'm really pleased to hear this.
I just hope they take on board some of the comments about the controls, particularly if they make it more on a par with the Metroid Prime controls which are simply sublime to play with.
This has even converted my 'pad-only' brother to FPS with Move controls.

Thing was stella i always go for the objectives, was lucky in that round that i got both plants on the bomb and as a tactican i went for the spawn points and also got the assassination kill were i ran in as an infiltraitor passed his bodyguards and meleed him 
Any tips for a medic? I tend to try and stay with the group but people just spilt up for no reason so I dno who to cover and most of time end up going on my own. Surely it makes sense to spilt up into smaller units and cover each other which would make my job as a medic far more useful.
I dont run away from trying to revive people and more than happy to die in the process as I know most people are far better at killing/doing objectives than me.
Its a shame they didnt colour code the HUD when things like multiple revives are needed in different directions - I have to swing round to work out who logistically is nearer and if they are on the same plane as me. Ive literally only tried the medic since no doubt none of the classes are that useful til youve got unlocks on them, as Ive havent played that much I really dont have a clue how the others work especially with default equips...

it was not a pop at you or anyone dinakin
i enjoyed it last night when we had 5 in the squad it seemed we all had a sense of purpose .
it was close on death count on the last round they just pipped us got grenade spammed loads in the hall way on the left that leads you out into the open
stay within the squad and hold back 5 or 10 yards if we had a tach leader to take the spawn point it would be good .
i can play as tach or engineer have upgraded both secondary ability's din is usually a infiltrator (in drag )
but whatever spawns we take depending on where the mission is placed we need bots setting up and medics on hand for a good fire fight
really hope we can get a good following on this really enjoyed the 2nd one and play it online loads .

tips for medic, get you abilities up, handy to have, as for revives it can get a bit tricky if my mic is on im telling the ppl im approaching not to tap out as i can revive, otherwise stick close to thos ppl who do the objectives and let the ppl who only want to kill die.

Cant wait for SP, the music at the title screen is legendary, hopefully the rest is just as awesome, MP needs work but plenty of time to get it right

Hit select - brings up score screen. Highlight player you want to mute and press x Choose Manage. Theres an option to mute as well as grief reports etc.
