First of all, we'd like to thank you for taking the time out to test Killzone 3's multiplayer component. Through your testing, feedback and comments, Killzone 3 is shaping up to be a fantastic multiplayer experience and we have you all to thank. We've already managed to address several key issues, such as server stability, network errors, etc.

What we'd like to do is give you guys some idea of how your hard work has paid off on parts of the game you've commented on, but haven't seen a patch for in the open beta. We've received a tremendous amount feedback from all of you, some of it obviously in favor of specific changes, while some other feedback was split down the middle. To compensate for the split feedback, we've looked at information and statistics we've been collecting while you've been playing on the server. Below you'll find a list of some of the most talked about points during beta, and what we plan to do to address these specific issues.

• A fix to the "Your Faction Has Won/Lost" issue, along with all oddities that resulted from this occurring
• An issue that allowed more than two clans to join a clan match will be fixed
• Increased Accuracy, Bullet Damage and Faster Reload Ribbons will update correctly on personal statistics screens
• We've simplified the process to invite players into your game (just one button press)
• The radius of the Marksman's Scramble++ has been lowered
• Medic's Revive distance increased and cooldown to re-use is decreased
• No collision on mortally wounded player bodies
• Increased player stamina
• An icon will be shown in the menu when you have a Killzone 3 message in your inbox

Shortly after the game's release, you'll also see these changes patched in:

• Support for color-blind players
• Implement unranked custom games for players to create private or clan matches
• Enhanced custom games functionality that will allow players to:
• Control over games modes and settings
• Secure games, allowing you to invite the players you want to play with
• The ability to prevent abilities and weapons from being used
• Toggling on and off functionality, such as ribbons, skills, explosives, etc.
• Selecting which careers you want available to players
• Allow friendly fire to be turned on or off
• Faction switching enabled or disabled

• The Clan Officer role will be added to clans
• Separate turn speeds for hip-fire and ADS
• Overly enthusiastic death screams will be toned down
• Increased the amount of kills required to win a Guerrilla Warfare match
• Increased Accuracy ribbon will have its effectiveness lowered
• Likewise, the Bullet Damage ribbon will have its effectiveness lowered as well
• Matches will end if the other team forfeits (i.e. too few, or no players on the enemy team)
• Matchmaking enhancements that will close and merge games based on player count, which will keep games more full
• Balance factions out by moving players to the other team at the end of the match if one team is lopsided
• The ability to turn off HUD markers for point pop-ups and objectives
• A menu option to allow squad-only chat
• The addition of a Mute All button
• Scoreboard flickering will be fixed
• Clans will no longer get matched against other clans that have many more players than they do (i.e. 4 vs. 7, 5 vs. 8)

And that list is just the beginning. As we release our patches you'll get a full list of everything we've updated in a patch list, which is much more than what we've listed above.

We'd like to thank all of you for taking such an active part in the Killzone community and we sincerely appreciate all of the time you've put into the open beta test. We simply can't thank you enough!

Re: Killzone 3

^ Pretty cool. This should make it a better online game.

Re: Killzone 3

I really like these...

• The radius of the Marksman's Scramble++ has been lowered
• No collision on mortally wounded player bodies (So annoying in doorways or stairs)
• Increased player stamina (You could only run for 2 seconds)
• The Clan Officer role will be added to clans (One of the best KZ2 clan features)
• Overly enthusiastic death screams will be toned down
• Increased the amount of kills required to win a Guerrilla Warfare match
• Bullet Damage ribbon will have its effectiveness lowered
• A menu option to allow squad-only chat (THANK YOU, though KZ2 had it right)
• The addition of a Mute All button (Thank you, again)

Re: Killzone 3

Just got more excited about this game. I like what I'm hearing about the clan matches. Looks like we can have an OS Clan and play clan 1 vs clan 2. Nice!

For those who can't wait. This guy always comes through as advertised. I have used him on numerous new releases.

Re: Killzone 3

I would butttt I rather get it for free from gamestop lol

Re: Killzone 3

That list of improvements and fixes is why every major release should have a public beta. Outstanding stuff there.

Re: Killzone 3

Just ordered this from my ebay guy. Will have it Friday just in time for a long weekend of gaming

Just a heads up for those who don't want to pay extra for overnight. If you order it early enough you will probably have it by Sat if he ships it out tomorrow. For $55 you still will have it by release at the latest and that's with free shipping.

Re: Killzone 3

I cancelled my pre-order and they gave me cash back. May not happen for everyone but hey I didn't complain. They ask if I wanted a store credit or cash. Cash please. Lol!!!

Re: Killzone 3

I'm only getting it free becuase of all the old games I traded in an unfortunately you can't get cash back for trade ins. I love all the fixes, it just shows that they listen to what the consumer wants. My biggest thing is did they add the ability to spawn on the squad leader like in kz2? I didn't see that in the list so I'm assuming no.

I just got lucky with them giving me cash back. I'm sure that's not the norm. Did get my tracking # already to my suprise.

I think it may counteract the importance of the tactical spawn points, being that they removed the spawn grenades too.

Yeah, they won't be adding that back. I am pretty sure the spawn points have a lot to do with the jetpacks as well.

Re: Killzone 3

Then whats the point of having squads? Eh whatever I'm still going to love this game.
