This video review is quite good.

tried the beta last night with red aka kakapoopodoodooheadredheaddead or something like that. started out on 30% standard sensitivity (um... why?) and moved it to 60. still felt sluggish, so moved it to 90, and felt little change. not saying i didnt enjoy it, but its definitely gonna take a while to get used to the feel of things again. even playing Red Dead Redemption, which is quite slow, doesnt even prepare me for Killzone. may have to go sniping for a while till i get the hang of controls.

Judging from the beta Killzone 2 is still the best fps imo. If only Killzone 3 retains the weighted controls in MP as well, then I would rank Killzone 3 higher. As it stands now Killzone 2, MAG/Warhawk, BC2(been watching a lot of videos for it, and it looks sick. I need to get it soon, ), something else just can't think right now, lol; these are my top multiplayer games for me. MAG and Warhawk are second simply because I found them to be fun and rewarding. Killzone 2 is #1 because I'm a Killzone fanboy, lol.

i can understand the idea of having weight to guns. i think pistols > shotgun/SMGs > Sniper/AR > LMG in terms of ADS, movement, and even turning speed. but i could barely turn when just running. i can relate to the concept of feeling more like a real soldier, with loads of provisions on his backpack, so that he should similarly be slower. but EYE movement would never decrease in that situation. turning ones HEAD should never be slower. if i want to make a 90 degree turn, just when running, it shouldnt be a hassle to do so. this, to me, is why KZ3 is sluggish. its not that im sooo used to COD with my 10-super sensitivity settings. i used a 5 or 6, which is quite moderate, even slow to alot of ppl. so im fine with that. but KZ3 controls are still very sluggish, even after i came off playing RDR. i feel like a robot, who only turns from my remote control a second after i tell him. but yah, i think with time i can get over this and adjust, as i did for KZ2. i wasnt overly complaining about the controls in KZ2, so im not going to now. but its just my first overall impression. hard to move like i want it.

LOL kuzu I got nothing agianst Killzone but I played the demo last night and this describes exactly what it felt like to me too - socks in the shower if you will -it wasnt the speed or the sensitivity so much as the disconnected feeling.. Numb. Got very carsick after 5 rounds or so, however I realize this has more to do with my own fiddling on the sticks than actual game mechanics.

This was exactly the sensation I remember from the short time I tried out KZ2 at a friends house a while back, and I don't think I want to try to get used to it. So, unfortunately I don't think Ill be purchaseing this game, just is not for me.

Be nubbing it up in mw2 servers by myself tl res 3 I guess, *sob* lol

Warhawk?? LOVED Warhawk. Frst online experience for me, spent all my time in the air for the first year I played it. Some great memories from that game - I'd probably still be playig it now if it werent for Zones going dead for some reason. Dont even get me started on that lol.

for example: the sound of turrets, bots are EXACTLY the same. i always thought they were very bland, almost annoying noises. the sound of all weapons are EXACTLY the same. they werent bad to start with, but jeesus, a slight change in pitch, tone, bass, anything would be preferable. grenades EXACTLY the same. not bad either though. player voices are EXACTLY the same. when ur mortally wounded and crying out, its like the same voice actor from 2009, spot on. at least we got Ice Cube trying some announcing in BO, lol?

im not being negative. i will try this game and give it my attention. but they surely could have scored a little higher on the creativity points. i kept raving over BC2 and the sounds. that, alone, was enough to wet my panties. the sound effects in KZ3 and KZ2 do not get me excited. controls feel very similar, as does gameplay. but dont give up. there are good points too.

but really. i do like this. can see how everyone is progressing. what they are unlocking/using. me likey.
even tells u really detailed stuff, like how many turret kills u have, cloaked kills, how many kills u have with each gun, etc.

Kuzu, you do know that the characters are wearing "heavy-duty" helmets thus it would reduce the speed one would be able to turn their head. This is especially true in real life.

Why say Killzone 3 is the exact same thing as Killzone 2 and sound negative, but yet cod gets praise for what copying and pasting their code? Killzone 3 is a lot different than Killzone 2 in nearly all aspects. The guns should stay relatively the same since it's a staple in the Killzone franchise. How many of you are going to complain about Resistance 3 because they barely updated the weapons catalog? I'm guessing none. The weapons have more of a distinct sound (they've always had a distinct sound), but it's more noticeable now especially for people who aren't keen on picking up on little things. As I said before the controls have changed a lot, and for the worse. Multiplayer is also changed for better and for worse, I like that there is no more six-axis sniping. I was good at just flicking my controller and picking off guys, but it got bothersome. I really like the silencers and the STA-52 is burst fire, yay!! I don't like the generalities with the classes, it seems that they did away with the distinction of the classes. There is also a loss of ranking up since all classes are unlocked. I love that the pistols don't have unlimited ammo, no more nubs running around with the M4.

Kuzu, I agree with you that the sound design in BC2 is phenomenal, but then again every Battlefield game has amazing sound design. You have to give credit to Guerrilla Games for their sound design as well. If you go back and play Killzone 2 than go play Killzone 3 you will notice a big difference. The M-82 sounds really heavy now, but it didn't in Killzone 2. I could care less for the bots. Why the hell is the air-bot tiny? I noticed that it follows the person who deployed it as well which is neat, but why decrease the size? If gameplay feels similar to Killzone 2 why even buy cod? Gameplay in those games have not changed since cod4.

I'm still getting my Helghast edition, and hopefully they send a lot of patches to fix some issues. That's why they should have never had the closed beta be for plus members only. Most plus members are idiots and don't know how to beta test. Good thing I get into the SOCOM 4 beta.

I finally played some online matches though I only played three rounds of Guerrilla Warfare, and it's easy, but I need to get used to the reduced weight. The silenced SMG for the Tactician is great, but could use some stopping power especially up close. I don't like how everyone starts with extremely low amounts of ammo unless they have the extra ammo skill. The LMG might be the new shotgun for Killzone 3, lol. I picked one up and I got an instant 3 kill spree.

IDK, but it feels identical to me. From the little I played of the BFBC2 Demo/Beta, those controls were solid. KZ2/3 are the only shooters I've ever played that insist on having such unwieldy controls.

About the COD bit, as you know I'm not a fan of the series. But I will say this: Even though they are essentially the same game, they are more varied than KZ2/3. I am most likely the least qualified to compare them, as I've probably played the least of KZ2 of anyone here, but it seriously feels/looks/etc. identical, aside from some minute details.

I think I was gonna say something else but I forgot... >_<
Anyway, to tidy this up, I'm not looking to start an argument or debate. Finding something you thoroughly enjoy is awesome, so I hope you do enjoy it niva. They shouldn't feel the need to cater people like me. Personally though, sitting this one out, unless I somehow happen to win the free copy. (I'll send you them Helm if so niva, lol)
I'll continue to play the Beta here & there though, till it expires.
