Re: Killzone 3

good to know DEFT. im gonna prolly open it this weekend then and start the sp and play some mp since i beat socom 4 sp this week.

KZ3 SP is very well done, but it felt some what pieced together to me when compared to KZ2 SP. How did you enjoy Socom 4 SP? That was tough as nails in many missions, but was well done.

i liked it. it wasnt as short as ppl were claiming. i think those ppl must play on normal or easy and rush thru the game. i played it on the 2nd hardest level(Hard i think) and found myself a good challenge...having to restart plenty of missions over....but thats how i like it. now im all into the mp and liking that as well. good game IMO. just didnt wana take the plastic off of kz3 if it wasnt any good when im already satisfied with socom4.

Re: Killzone 3

Double XP Weekend started today. I'll probably be jumping on a couple times if I can pull myself away from LA Noire and try and move up a couple more ranks.

Re: Killzone 3

i opened it up last wknd and got to play about 5 levels or so of sp and put in a decent amt of time on mp. the sp is good to me so far. im really liking this game. i picked the perfect wknd to start playing...nothing like being welcomed to mp with a double xp wknd. i think im up to level 14 or so and fully upgraded my engineer class turrets and weapons. think ill start on the medic next.

only thing that sucks is i dont have the map packs yet. i bought it late so i didnt get the throwback map pack and i dont have the steel rain pack. are these packs worth the money?? i bought all the packs for kz2 and they were decent for the $. somebody let me know about this dlc

Re: Killzone 3

Patch 1.10 is now live! WOW! Did they fix a ton of stuff.

Patch 1.10 is here! This version introduces a large number of fixes and new features based on your feedback. Please consult the patch list below to see what's changed. Patch 1.10 will be released today for SCEE and SCEA territories, with SCEJ following soon.

NEW FEATURES

• Custom Games, Part 2. Additional information can be found at the bottom of the article, but it will include: choosing abilities, weapons and careers, as well as toggling functionality such as ribbons, skills and explosives.
• Squad Only Chat. This is still an experimental feature and may not always function as expected.
• Playing Audio/Music from your PS3 during MP games.
• Marksman Improvements:
  • Cloak rippling effect has been increased.
  • Cloak now ripples with increased intensity when firing non silenced weapons.
  • Transition from uncloaked to cloaked has been extended.
  • A cloak fade transition between moving and not-moving has been introduced (player no longer snaps out of view).
• Distance Indicator for off-screen medics.
• Matchmaking. We will now make players switch faction automatically at the end of a round if teams are unbalanced. Note that this will only affect players that are not in a squad or that have sent an invite to create a squad, and that it will not happen at all in Clan games or Custom Games.
• You can now only submit another grief report for the same person if at least 7 minutes have elapsed since the previous one.

BUG FIXES

Single Player Campaign

• Icy Incursion/Providence Bay: Cutscene between last two sections has overlapping audio.

Botzone

• Stahl Arms: Fixed Helghast Bots running into the ISA basecamp to get killed by base turrets.

User Interface

• Silent Footsteps icon skill now displays properly.
• Updated invitation messages for squad invites.
• Clans: Tournament boards for ‘All Time’ now update properly.
• Player's PSN ID is shown in the lobby instead of the PS3 console's user name.
• Fixed the Statistics screen – progression bars update properly now.
• Implemented a minimum match count (15 matches) for Clans to enter the Leaderboard.

Multiplayer

• Improved performance on Salamun Market.
• Fixed an issue where a squad invite would send players to the wrong squad.
• Clans: Fixed a crash upon entering a clan match and immediately quitting the match.
• When entitled to the "3 unlock points" bonus multiple times you'll now receive all those unlock points at once instead of only 3 each time you log in.
• Exoskeletons no longer look broken after repairing them and getting in.
• Some audio fixes for Brutal Melee.
• Fixed several graphical glitches.
• Fixed several collision issues and spots where players were able to escape the bounds of the map – in Kaznan Jungle, Pyrrhus Crater, Akmir Snowdrift, Bilgarsk Boulevard, MAWLR Graveyard and Bloodgracht.
• Akmir Snowdrift: Fixed issues where ISA members were able to reach the Helghast basecamp and also reach the second objective area, during the first round of Operations.
• MAWLR Graveyard: Fixed an issue where ISA sentry drones would crash en route to the spawn location.
• Stahl Arms: Altered the boundaries for the western capture point to make them more realistic.
• The Junkyard: Fixed a couple of ammo crates that were unreachable from certain sides.
• Frozen Dam: Fixed the issue of ISA players being able to deliver the speaker through the floor by jumping on top of an ammo crate.

CUSTOM GAMES DESCRIPTION

Missions

• Warzone Mission Timers can now be altered. Added times varying from 4 to 60 minutes for missions.
• Guerrilla Warfare received additional options to the Kill Count: 10, 25, 75, 100 and 200 kills.
• Scavenge and Retrieve were removed from the Warzone game mode list, as it is not playable in Warzone.

Unlocks
This is a new field where you can choose options for Unlocks. The three options are:

• As Unlocked (Default): This will take the career unlocks you've earned online and give you access to them in the custom games.
• Lock All: Nothing is unlocked, simulating what a player would see if they started the game at Rank 1 with no unlock points.
• Unlock All: Everything is unlocked, as it is in Botzone.
• Custom Unlocks: Configure Unlocks the way you want them.

Careers
By default all careers are ‘ON’. You can turn every career ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ that, but one career must be selectable at all times.

Settings
Other game settings can be configures here. Options available to you are:

• Primary Weapons: Choose between All Weapons/Only Rank 1 Weapons/Rank 1 & 2 Weapons.
• Secondary Weapons: Choose between All Weapons/Only Rank 1 Weapons/Rank 1 & 2 Weapons. Please note that this will be grayed out if 'Lock All' is selected under Career Unlocks.
• Primary Abilities: Choose between All Abilities/Only Rank 1 Abilities/Rank 1 & 2 Abilities.
• Secondary Abilities: Choose between All Abilities/Only Rank 1 Abilities/Rank 1 & 2 Abilities. Please note that this will be grayed out if 'Lock All' is selected under Career Unlocks.
• Explosives: Choose between All Explosives/Grenades Only /Prox. Mines Only/None.
• Friendly Fire: Choose ON or OFF.
• Skills: Choose ON or OFF.
• Ribbons: Choose ON or OFF.
• Melee: Choose ON or OFF. This can turn off all forms of Melee, including Brutal Melee and Rifle Butts.

Enhanced Mission Settings
Each mission mode in Warzone has an additional setting to configure:

• Search and Retrieve – Speaker Returns: This will allow for additional or less returns (1, 2, 4 and 5 returns).

• Bodycount – Kill Count in Warzone: This will allow for additional kills (50, 75, 100 or 200).
• Capture and Hold – Capture Points: This will allow for more or less points needed to win.

No problem. Now if we would only get an HD remake of the original PS2 version, that would be nice.

Re: Killzone 3

I bought this a few days ago. The SP is excellent I am probably halfway through it. I got in some MP and I got DESTROYED! I haven't played a FPS online since MW2. I need to play more, but I have been addicted to Assassin's Creed 2.

[AUChase]

Re: Killzone 3

I've been wanting to buy this, because I liked the MP Beta and the campaign in Killzone almost always delivers.

It's just one of those games where you have to dedicate your time to it, to get better. I bounce back and forth between Homefront and Reach and I don't think I could fit another shooter in without completely sucking at everything else.

Re: Killzone 3

If anyone ever wants to play this online, let me know. I'm not that good, but it's fun as hell when you can talk to some people on it.

Plus, 4 new maps are out as of this week for the low price of $4.99. That is insane what they charge when compared to COD ripping people off at $15.
