KILLZONE 2

[EmpireKing]

im usually online...but at very random times.....Wednesday I will be online whole day playing trying to get rid of the n00byness.

[woodyear99]

Actually that is the biggest flaw I found in this game, and PSN on the whole when compared to Xbox Live. Teamwork and community not so strong. Really takes some effort to find a good game/hassle getting friends in. Once it setup tho it is really fun....

Wish more people would buy a mic

[ViCe]

wish i was paired with more intelligent randumbs
d lack of mics and ppl not listening wen i tell them move from in front of me i hav a clear shot annoying

KZ2 Patch 1.21

The patch includes the following:

 
# Increase of the standard points settings for Bodycount.  Should ensure longer mode on heavily populated games.
# The return of Online Bots.  Adding bots to an online game renders it ‘unranked’.
# The option to create unranked games.  Players will be made aware that a game is unranked upon joining.
# Fix to Game Search functionality so correct maps are displayed.
# Standardization of the Y-Axis controls on the HGH Scout when zoomed with the Sniper Rifle.
# Fix to Sensitivity setting where the weapon animation did not follow the reticule correctly.
# Fix for auto-aim exploit when rapidly tapping zoom/fire.
# Fix to infrequent collision issues with C4 Proximity mines.
# Fix to list of games displayed on search.
# Stability fix relating to disconnect.
# Fix to ‘Clan’ button functionality in custom game creation settings.

 

We are also working on the next updates and here are some of the areas we are exploring and investigating for the future patches:

 

    * Controls.  Seeing about giving more options.
    * Expanding on Join Game searches and options.
    * Improving game and network stability.
    * Collision exploits on maps.
    * Improvements to help play with friends.
    * More game creation options.
    * More game options for clans.
    * Fixes to Clans unexpectadly losing tournament rounds.
    * Other minor fixes.

 

Now the above does not include the DLC updates that we are working on and they wont all come straight away, but I wanted to give you an idea of the areas we are exploring.  If anything else pops up we will of course add that too  More on future updates soon.

 

All the best and will be in touch Monday.  have a nice weekend.

wow this reviewer sucks LOL
jus had to comment on his review

[Arcmanov]

Remember, reviews are subjective eh.  I don't agree with his assessment either, but I won't say he 'sucks'.

[ViCe]

normally i wud agree with u arc but not in this case he does suck @ kz2
his breakdown of
engineer = fail
why d hell wud u want EVERY1 to b able to place turrets dat wud just make da game a campfest as it wud hav a team of 16 engineers an 16 turrets up an ppl gettin alotta cheap kills

assault = fail
he was standing still takin shots das why he didnt notice he had double health an abiltiy to regenerate lol
assault = most overpowered in game especially with boost he needs to gg

sabo = fail
lol if he knew how to use da sabo he probaly wudn't hav said that. he probably was up in ppls faces das why they figured him out cuz when any good person play sabo u can do damage plus u got c4 he really needs to gg

Scout = fail
he never even reached scout but wrote on it wtf
sniper + spot & mark ability + magnum (once u unlock it) = king of both long range an close range combat

jus checked back d site lol d guy removed MY comment out of everybody else who jus plainly told him hes bad etc, whereas i broke down WHY he's bad lol

[woodyear99]

HA!!!

Your comment probably exposed a glaring flaw in his argument.  For some people, the truth hurts...badly.

Nice sweat last night guys...but all of a sudden I got 3 beeps from the PS3 and then it CRASHED...as in completely powered off.
I was able to turn it back on right after, but I didn't bother to go back in.

Apparently this is a software issue (from what I've been told) and not a hardware one, because I played Street Fighter 4 for
about 2 hours more, and got no issues.

My research continues...

[TheApprentice]

Yea system crash occurs randomly..
Mine probably crashed with the 3 beeps at least 10 times..
But thats a serious crash.

A regular one would be the screen frozen and you manually power off with the ps3 power button. And light blinks a bit and the 3 beeps, and turns off.

The other type of crash would be where the screen is frozen, you touch the power button, and the lights blink endlessly,
to properly shut off the system at this point is to keep finger on power button for over 10seconds, a hard (soft) shutdown.

If that don't work, kill main back switch power. (risky: known to have caused blu-ray failure) :|

[Arcmanov]

I got that second one you described.  Maybe 'power off' was not the right term, because it did shut down, but the power light
just flashed until I held the power button for a while.  So I'm not worried...yet.
