Official Killzone 3 Thread

Anyone play the closed beta?

Open beta starts Feb. 2!

I've never played Killzone before but I think I'm going to get in on this one... Looks pretty rad.

Also, a code to the SOCOM beta will be included w/ the game.

I'm getting the Helghast Edition along with the Playstation Move Sharpshooter. Now, if we can get a large TV before it comes out, I'll be in heaven...

There is already an official KZ3 thread:

Oops, didn't see that one.

Fixed controls, sliding, and brutal melee kills. Looking good!

Open beta was pushed to tomorrow at 1PM EST!

To make amends, 60 limited edition sets will be awarded to (Americans) who are playing this weekend!

Open beta is good...still a bit odd about it. A little bit over the top with the changes from KZ2, for example taking out the initial class and giving the rocket launcher as a secondary as well as the LMG as primary. Giving the marksman an automatic rifle, really? Taking away the shotgun from the engineer and not allowing me to use the revolver for classes like the infiltrator? Not only that, but the apparent lag is still there. Not sure if it is because I am playing with people from other countries (if I am), but it is pretty bad as to where I kill someone and it registers on screen about 3 seconds later. Auto-aim is still present, and pretty big with PS Move I've found. Bots seem to be useless, specifically that stupid medic bot. Spawn points are kind of annoying, as are melee attacks in the fact that someone can just randomly grab you around a corner and you're defenseless.

Biggest gripe: If I'm not dead accurate with a shotgun, I'm instantly dead. One there is no range, two people just spray and pray while I can't at all because of it being pump action, three it doesn't do one hit kills as much as it used to (IE, nerfing the damage). One pro/con is that headshots are super scarce now as well.
