"The return of Online Bots. Adding bots to an online game renders it ‘unranked’."

"Fix for auto-aim exploit when rapidly tapping zoom/fire."

Yes, thank you GG!

thereapersson5513d ago

Now people can play with bots, but for those unscrupulous people out there who like to play dirty, they won't be able to pad their stats. This is how it should have been in the first place, so I'm glad to see GG implement them back in in this manner.

legendkilla5513d ago

GG needs to take out the rockets and grenade launcher, so cheap those weapons are!!!

joydestroy5513d ago

Future Patches

* Controls. Seeing about giving more options.

* Expanding on Join Game searches and options.
*Improvements to help play with friends.

can't wait for that stuff. i love the controls but would like to see what they're gonna add. searching for a game should def have more options. and improvements to help play with friends are much needed. for instance, you should be able to hop on and go to a lobby to wait for your friend(s) to join and come to the lobby, then you start a search for a room that will fit all of you in it. because it's agony trying to play with a mate right now.

ThanatosDMC5513d ago

Ummm.... there was auto aim??? I didnt even know that.

crillyconlig5513d ago

cross hairs close to target, you aim, it locks on,keep tapping aim it tracks the player

s8anicslayer5513d ago (Edited 5513d ago )

Nice patch! Kudos to GG for correcting these issues and making KZ2 MP an enjoyable experience!

iHEARTboobs5513d ago

You can always start your own room with them disabled. I know i've been in a couple rooms where I wasn't allowed to use a rocket launcher, just the nade launcher.

SiLeNt KNighT5513d ago

after the first update to fix the auto aim for the shotgun ive noticed all guns have auto aim to some extent. if two enemies are standing side by side and they split up in different directions the auto aim jumps in and starts to follow one of them for a split second. like cod4 was. GG is one of the best developers ive ever dealt with and with all this great support, i look forward to anything they put out in the future.

we need an update for when i die THROUGH walls! that the most annoying thing to me in this game. ill be in a fire fight and hide behind a wall for a second to reload and all of a sudden im dead. it gets really frustrating. sometimes it seems to happen more than others but a fix for it would be ideal!!

Killjoy30005513d ago

I wish devs would add more weapons to their games. They should add new ones and put existing weapons like the Bolt Gun and Flame Thrower online.

Dandiego5513d ago

Ohh... so there were problems with controls... Finally someone admits this. This game was flawed and I might buy this one if it's playable. The controls are horrible as they are right now.

DaTruth5513d ago

No, there's nothing wrong with the controls, you just suck at games!

The biggest fix they need is the damn rocket launcher, The person shoots you when your standing next to them and it doesn't kill them.
It's the cheapest weapon of all time, a rocket launcher that works at close range.

cant wait to play again after this!

already got top 1% but quit cause of that glitch gettin m4d form half way across the map was gettin ridiculous.

NIGHT_HAWK32105511d ago

this doesnt really matter cause in like 3 weeks there wont be too many playing this game anyways. this week had like 277000 people roughly, CoD on xbox has 210000 people on right now. the ps3 community is horrible. i bought a ps3 just to play killzone and after about 50 hours of play this game is getting boring. it is also getting harder to even find servers. this game was pretty far from the halo/cod killer all the fanboys said it would be. to anyone who says that didnt happen is full of sh1t, that is all everyone way saying before it came out. now that its not the "killer" ,everyone wants to run from the bragging that happened before the game came out.

thereapersson5513d ago

They are really listening to gamers with these patches. I just want to personally say "thank you" (even though they won't see this), because it's not often you see a developer supporting their own product in such a quick and efficient manner.

Killzone 2 forever!!!

BTW, I haven't been on my consoles very much lately because I've been really busy with other stuff, but I have to say that being halfway through the main campaign still does not fail to impress me. I love this game! I'm going to try to hurry up and beat the game by the end of this weekend. :)

himdeel5513d ago

...I haven't finished the campaign yet as I've spent all my free time on multiplayer, but now that I've gotten to general I've gone back to the campaign. The last level really is tough and I'm playing on the veteran mode.

Awesome patch. I've had a few pals that haven't gotten into multiplayer because they get floored so quickly. Bots will give me a chance to play with them again as most are much lower rank thank I.

ThanatosDMC5513d ago

On the campaign... i think im on the 3rd act or chapter but after playing multiplayer i havent checked SP... killing other people with tricks up their sleeves are great.

FunAndGun5513d ago

the last level on Elite is ridiculously hard!!! took me like 3 hours just to get into the room where Radec is.

The intensity and mayhem is out of control!....I am not looking forward to holding that balcony.

iHEARTboobs5513d ago

lol, yeah if you're playing in hard then you'll get your @ss kicked a few times.

ultimolu5513d ago

Lol, I'm somewhere in the middle of the campaign. I love the satisfying sound of earned trophies. x3

DragonWarrior465345513d ago (Edited 5513d ago )

why would you want bot games to be unranked. Are you guys and Guerrilla so dumb that you dont realize that there are easier ways to cheat? Ive been maxed rank since the first week this game came out, but most of my friends dont have the time like me to rank up so they are about half way or less. All you gotta do to help get ribbons is play one vs one or small game and just put a password your friends only know and then just do whatever you gotta do to rank up.

I say that its dumb because the friend invite option is not even there. Finding a game that all of your friends play, is the biggest pain in the ass. It took me and my boys over 1 hour just to find a game. I made a room and nobody joined after so long that we all just said screw it. We didn't even have a chance to play one game. The online bots with ranking would have made playing with my friends that much easier. With the option for humans to join in place of bots would have been epic. Revolutionary even. This stinks.

@ redmist and thereaper

Obviously you dont have any friends because anyone who truly plays killzone 2 knows even if a game says its got 25/32 people it still says the game is full even when you try to join a game. BTW, this is N4G. This is a place to talk about these kinds of things. If you dont like it , then ignore me. If not then stop personally attacking me. When I say you people, im not talking to you unless you are one of those people who think taking bots out of ranked matches is a good idea. Its dumb. Why make the game harder to connect with your friends then you have too? Only ignorant children think so.

@reaper. Its not that much fun just playing with your friends if its just you and them. Again, which makes having no ranked bots option retarded, because you dont need bots to cheat. BTW,, try making a match and tell me how long it is before anyone joined. One time It took me 35 mins just to get one person to join, then they left. Sorry unlike most of you guys, I actually like to play games.

Well its cool anyways. Im sorry that I b*tch alot. I just wished some of you guys would take my side and help me fight for what is right. I guess I will have to play my new guitar while I wait for this update to happen.

RedMist115513d ago

Uh, what is wrong with using the 'Join Friend' option?

If it takes you over one hour to find a game with your friends, then I am not sure your in a position to be calling other people dumb :)

thereapersson5513d ago (Edited 5513d ago )

You made a room, and you didn't even think to message your friends on your list to tell them what the room was called?

You know you can send messages while inside the game, right?

You own the PS3 and all you ever do is complain about what Sony doesn't do with it. You're not a fanboy like TheMart, but you sure do whine a lot. Why not just stick with the 360 altogether for online gaming if it's that important to you?

edit:

So now we don't like to play videogames? LOL, come on bro...

celldomceen15513d ago

i dont know where to begin with how wrong your post was.

himdeel5513d ago

...it sounds like you have no idea what you're doing. The option is as simple as clicking on your friends and searching for games they're playing.

I see plenty of matches showing 31/32 that are full and don't quite understand that. I'd assume someone is idle in the game but haven't passed that screen to join the next match.

thereapersson5513d ago

I'm just tired of seeing so much negativity this generation. It's like people spend more time nitpicking and whining about games than they do actually playing them.

I guess I just have so much fun with the game that I don't really worry about stuff like this. To each their own, though!

that's exactly what i'm saying! and when you do find a room, sometimes they're only playing one map or have specific rules set that you don't like. it's lame dude. the friend option needs to be refined i think.

@thor
totally agree with you bro.

thor5513d ago

Your first point - you cheated to get to the max rank

Ranking up in KZ2 is SO RIDICULOUSLY EASY. I get, by playing NORMALLY WITHOUT CHEATING, around the same number of points per hour as in Warhawk. Warhawk's max rank is at 270,000 points I think. KZ2 is at 2,800. I did it in just over 20 hours, without padding. So to cheat your way there is just being stupid I'm sorry.

Your second point - it's hard to join games with friends. Well I don't have many RL friends with PS3s, but when I wanted to join the N4G warzone weekend, I added mquirozz as a friend then went into warzone and clicked "join game". Yeah, really difficult. I agree that the server setup isn't great, the lack of ping indicators is the thing that REALLY PISSES ME OFF but the thing about games saying they aren't full and then they are? Every game I have ever played does that. CoD4 did that. Battlefield 2142 did that. Counter-strike:Source did that. Warhawk did that. I'm not sure what the technical issue is, but there's some reason that it does that that can't be avoided.

I simply don't understand why anybody would want matchmaking over this setup but oh well. I just wish they'd give us a lot more info on the server select screen.

DA_SHREDDER5513d ago

@ Thor. This is DragonWarrior. And actually no I didn't cheat to rank up. I was getting 150 points or more per game. I didnt have to. I actually didnt even start working on my badges till after I was max ranked. I just got my medic badge yesterday, and still have not used a medi pack yet.

The only time I ever cheated was to help one of my friends rank up there stuff faster because it is hard to rank up your badges otherwise. Im telling you right now bots don't make it any easier to cheat,, it just makes it harder to hang out with your friends since there inst a lobby system or friend invite option. Sorry, joining friends game is not good enough. This is the year 2009. Xbox live had this option since 2005

5513d ago
DA_SHREDDER5513d ago (Edited 5513d ago )

first off. Im not your friend. Also, I bet you dont tell that stuff you just said to people in real life. People like you are the ones that hide behind a computer and talk all your crap because you get your butt kicked in real life on a regular basis. And only people who use the word geektron are the ones that should look in the mirror when they think they can use a term like that when they are trying to put someone down.

I dont know who you think you are,, tell me that I = fail when I never stated that I had to cheat formyself. Then you go on to say that I was a failure at birth? Dude are you serious? Are you mentally ill or something. I think technology has too much of an effect on your life if you have to put people down simply because you think your so awesome at games. Let me guess, your like 16 and you dtiched school and you had your mom call in sick for you just so you can play video games today? You wanna see failure? Look at yourself.

Anyone who agrees with BX81 is a bigger piece of crap.

shadow27975513d ago

I know it's not a perfect solution, but you could just play an unranked game with bots...

You can play with your friends in a full game and have fun. Does it have to be ranked for you to have fun online?

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro53d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7253d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_53d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm

Profchaos53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2353d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200053d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin53d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole53d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix53d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198953d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor357d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar357d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg357d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149357d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138357d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim357d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC357d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138357d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle357d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183729d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183729d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149729d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
