Killzone 2

[The Grim Reaper]

Since, this auto aim cheat or whatever it is they are doing my scoring has suffered massively. I feel I am killed way to easily. I was constantly hitting scores of upto 70 kills a game, now I am hitting if lucky in the twenties. It is being ruined at the moment with cheat aiming, especially now there are alot of snipers about, which just add to the frustration.

I'm yet to encounter masses of snipers, but I have my worrys about there later being maps full of snipers with the cloak making it impossible for normal grunts like me to do anything worthwhile.

Don't worry. Even though a sniper is cloaked, his muzzle flash certainly isn't. And they still show up on the map if they fire too, and you can hear from where they are firing, since the sound of sniper rifle travels very far on the map.

Are private matches possible?

Yes, you can setup a room with a password on it.

Plus, 'Spot and Mark' ability points them out clear as day and puts them on all your team members' map. Note: 'Spot and Mark' never goes away until that enemy is dead and the ability can be used by any character you play with, so long it's been unlocked for 'combine with other secondary badges' and selected.

Had some really nice matches tonight in a Pyrrhus-only room. Even though some people were playing run-and-gun, there were plenty of people playing tactics. Snatching a sniper rifle from a dead sniper and then using it while impersonating an enemy is very nice.

You stayed hidden pretty well and I don't know if I ever killed you. I KNOW you killed me, at least twice! (Little Dutch bastard! )

 

[NLxAROSA]

I only need a few more matches before I make General, so I'll have my own sniper rifle. You did kill me at least once yesterday BTW.

Despite the few bugs this game has, I still think it's pretty awesome. I just hope they take out auto-aiming (from multiplayer at least) and add some more large maps like Pyrrhus, preferrably with some vehicles in them. And a more decent way to play with your friends.

But the fact that I keep coming back to this game says enough for me really.

32 person all-mech-suit match FTW

But seriously, this game would be so much more awesome with tanks, mechs and troop transports added in (of course the maps would need to be a lot bigger). It would also make the defense turrets more meaningful. I had so many fun moments in BF2 in a troop transport helicopter, dropping off troops in a hotzone while dodging AA. Or taking a tank into an RPG-infested part of town.

I know this sounds stupid but its really irritating me and I can't progress in the game without a solution: so on the first mission, you have to turn a wheel to open the floodgate. I pick off the guys over on the other side of the bridge then focus on turning the wheel. But I can't, I follow the instructions on the screen to no success, its just not working for me and I don't know why.

I like this game but if I can't progress I'll end up never playing it!

 

[Hereward]

Grab, turn, release, turn, repeat....hope that helps, it isn't explained well on screen.

 

[JamboGT]

hey Pepsi0 make sure that you have no other controllers plugged in when you start the game eg the G25, basically make sure the controller you are using is controller 1 before you even load the game then try it.

I had this same problem when my G25 was plugged in and this fixed it.

 

[Pepsi0]

Thanks I'll try both of those.

 

[Dragonistic]

At first I wasn't grabbing to turn but it took me about 30 seconds to realise that L1 and R1 are you right hand and left hand, you need both to grab the wheel, then turn the desired direction, then realse and turn back, grab etc.

Just to elaborate more on an earlier explanation.

 

[Pepsi0]

Thanks everybody it worked and I'm through. I probably had my G25 plugged in without noticing.

i have played online a bit more this weekend had a few good games, but the majority is still an all-out frag fest. At one point i was getting raped so i tried the auto-aim thing and couldn't believe how well it worked. I can't believe they even implemented that into the game. Takes away the necessity to gain skill with the games physics. A private match with psn friends would surely help avoid a lot of this ridiculous auto-aim kills.

 

[Hereward]

I've become smitten with SOCOM as a few of the clan guys have, the thing I'm waiting for is the AI bots to be brought back, I just can't face it till then LOL

I have also been playing a bit of Socom and MGS4 online to combat the silly KZ2 auto-aim, i just keep thinking "why?" They should make dedicated servers for the people who need/want training wheels for their game-play, but not make auto-aim STANDARD or programmed.

I do enjoy Socom for it's game play and pace. I do suck at it. Even worse MGS4 online was crazy, i could only manage 2-4 kills per round. But the flow of the game and mechanics are much more my personal preference. It's just everyone playing it for soo long they know all the good spots. I fealt horrible using the Auto-aim glitch in KZ2. On the Academy stage when shooting across the court-yard there is almost always someone in the door-way trying to snipe/shoot etc. standing in the opposing door-way and using the glitch warranted easy kills and worse, Head-shots .

[edit]-One other last rant are the people running around with RPG's. I mean it's PERFECT for those bottle-neck confrontation points, but i mean where's the fun in that?

 

[Solid Lifters]

I finally played a game where NOBODY was using the cheat/glitch. It took about three to four different online games to find it, but I did. It was a nice change of pace. Problem was, nearly every player was a General Sniper and the play was a bit stale. But, it was finally FUN for once. Again, a nice change of pace.

 

[Giancarlo]

I'm starting to get used to this game, and had a great match today with 90 XP after the winning team bonus.

The Helghast gun seems far better than the ISA rifle.

 

[Dragonistic]

I think the assault rifles are pretty equal, but the ISA is more user friendly at range thanks to the nice dot sight, you can generally see more down the sights then the Sta. From the hip the M82 is plenty good enough to, particularly when crouched.

 

[NLxAROSA]

The Helghast gun seems far better than the ISA rifle.

If you check out the stats on the killzone.com website, you'll find they're roughly equal, with a slight advantage for the M82. I still use the ST52 though, it sounds so awesome compared to the M82.

I finally played a game where NOBODY was using the cheat/glitch.

I simply refuse to use it, it's so lame. I just hope they take it out of online play soon. I don't mind it being in single player (though preferrably with an on/off switch in the options menu).

 

[NLxAROSA]

I had some very nice games last night. I was on a server where everybody was playing tactical and using the proper classes for a mission. There were objective carriers using boost to get past enemy defenses, snipers providing cover in a proper way, people planting C4 during capture & hold and search & destroy to defend the targets and people were generally working together and using flanking tactics. KZ2 has shown its true colors, it was very, very cool to watch and play! 👍

 

[Hereward]

Could be the casual gamers are drifting away now, hope it continues to be like that.

Next time that happens while I'm online, send me a message!

Yesterday, I spent over 5 hours playing pistol only matches. Most fun I've had in a while. I don't think the cheat glitch works for the pistol.

 

[NLxAROSA]

All we need is the auto-aim removed from online and a few tweaks to some of the weapons/badges. That should make it perfect.

Next time that happens while I'm online, send me a message!

Will do buddy. 👍

How's that auto-aim thing supposed to work??? I mean I get shot from crazy distances all the time, but if I try with zoom hold I hit nothing ...
I'd prefer that 'glitch' to be fixed, but meanwhile I at least need to know how it works so I can defend myself.

For me it works to quickly hit aim/fire in a fast 1-2 like motion. I have it like COD controls (alternate 2 scheme) so i quickly hit L1 and then while holding that quickly hit R1. so it's like L1, (still holding L1 quickly hit R1). I have tried it a few times and got easy kills, and also a few headshots .

In the past couple days i jump online for a few games or so. Depending on the maps it's not so bad anymore. It's just those bottle-neck locations that just gets hectic. And then spawning into one of those bottle-neck locations is a whole other story . I think things will die down eventually and hopefully they do remove the auto-aim, or make certain servers/rooms Auto-aim restricted.
