[UnSelf]

wow how late is this??

this thing has been up since like 4 this afternoon (eastern)

[Hallucinate]

9th? that doesnt sound right

[trancefreak]

Maybe since the beta??

I dont like the precision aiming for sniper but the rest is good.

[CaptainKratos]

i dont really see a difference in the precision aiming.

[Qui-Gon Jim]

I didn't notice a difference either, except that while strafing it was easier for me to track a target somehow. Comparing the turn speed at small movements of the stick, i didn't see any difference, though.

They lowered the Assault's armor hit points....

[MiloGarret]

YES! Finally. Good stuff in this update:

# Gameplay – Invulnerability when spawning on a deployable spawn-point outside of a base-camp is now disabled
# Gameplay – Armor of Assault class reduced from 100 to 50 hit-points
#Feature – Players will be automatically placed on the same faction, if they are friends upon using the ‘Join Friend’ option
#Feature – Squads will remain constant over multiple rounds unless disbanded.
#Feature – In-game faction changing now allowed on heavily unbalanced factions

Been a while since i last played this and damn does it show! I like the new control scheme and all they've done in the game but man the spawn camping is out right terrible. I do notice that it happens a hell of alot more with bad teams placing the blame squarely on the players but still it sucks to jump into a game and get mercilessly R A P E D in your own base. The decline in players also sucks, not a whole lot of matches to choose from. Regardless though the game remains fun albeit a bit frustrating at times.

There is more than one place to spawn so if you don't like it spawn elsewhere, if there are explosives in your base then it puts you at a disadvantage but it's all about strategery my friend. You won't get spawn camped if you don't let them close to your base.

Also, you can spawn as assault with a rock launcher and kill a bunch of spawn campers with a single shot.

I understand your complaint but I don't want them to take out strategy for people who play on less experienced teams. I am more frustrated in CoD4 and World at War where I spawn right in front of a tank or with an enemy that has my back where I have no control over the situation.

KZ2 fans, turn on the "High Precision" and play the game it the way it should have played.

[dragunrising]

I'm really liking high precision mode. Aiming and strafing feel so much more fluid and head shots are easier to come by. Check the box and enable it! :-p

[BiggCMan]

i really wish they would add local multiplayer to the skirmish and warzone modes, i really dont care for a co op in the single player like alotta people do, but some friends came over last week, and i showed them how great killzone 2 is, but we had to take turns online when it would have been nice to play together or against each other, any1 agree?

[redsquad]

Can't say I feel much difference on the new 'precision aim' except that the senistivity doesn't have to be adjusted anymore. Though I am getting "old and slow" so am not really qualified to judge I suppose...

[jjohan35]

HUGE difference with high precision. It doesn't affect movement and sensitivity. All it does is remove the deadzone/delay with each movement. Unfortunately too many players sold their game because of control complaints before this patch was released. Such a shame since this is a great game.

[TitanUp]

wow was their actually that many complaints with the controls? most reviews i have read on killzone 2 are awesome and some have no complaints with controls. and from friends that have the game they have no probs with the controls.

is it just the cod hardcore players that are having complaints? in all seriousness didn't know people were having that much problems with the controls.

[Slinger420]

The high precision aiming mode really doesn't change the single player too much. I see much more difference in the Multiplayer though, it's much more responsive. It does feel like the game should have shipped with this option.

[Perkel]

liked COD4 ? now it's preety close to COD4 without deadzone.

Why soo late ?

[CaptainKratos]

after a few games i see the difference.

Bam there it is!!!lol.
