Its amazing how as soon as he spawns he gets 5 headshots and 3 melee kills. That's one amazing lagswitch if i ever saw one. It looks amusing to watch but if your ever caught in a game with this guy that throws spawn grenades in your base and does this for 20 minutes its not amusing at all. Trust me I know...

gamesR4fun6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

ya the dude cheats not the only one but lets hope they start giving out psn bans to keep the worst ones out. give em a warning or 2 maybe a temp ban to start then if they keep up bang your ps3 dont connect no more...

idc so much about the padders but lag switchers and glitchers need to die.

Grandreaper99996088d ago

The spawn grenades alone are not amusing. They SHOULD have them so you can only drop them a certain distance outside the objective area, most games just have you losing if you're on the offensive because of those damn things. Radec academy/Tharsis depot search and destroy comes to mind. Coincidentally, those are the two maps everyone loves playing in. Instantaneous Clusterf**k Grenades.

Nineball21126088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

LOL.. I'm so out of the loop, I had to look it up to even see what a lagswitch is.

This is beyond pathetic. I mean seriously, if you have to put this much effort into "winning" at video games, you've got issues.

Creeps that use this stuff should be perma-banned from either PSN or Live.

Cwalat6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

Am i the only one who thinks that this was a very well done video?

Props to the guy, and hope the hacker gets kicked out of the KZ2 community.

UnSelf6088d ago

why cant i see the video?

finbars756088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

I have played agianst the damme1 a few days ago and he was still lagswitching all over.Drove me crazy.They should look at the top 100 as well.I have played against most of them and they are some of the biggest glitchers known to mankind.Disappearing into walls,walking i nto walls,lagswitching.Especially the number 1 ranked player in the world.You know who you are.Im going to start taping this to show you everyone how bad this is getting.GG needs to stop this fast because there going to lose alot more then a fanbase if they let this continue.Im now not playing killzone due to the lack of discipline that has not been taking.

Christopher6088d ago

I had to watch the video twice. First time through I was enjoying the detail on the gun. Sorry, I'm easily distracted by shiny things!

talltony6088d ago

I killed damme 1 plenty of times during the rare occasions of him not using the lag switch.

PROFIT6088d ago

i like playing against them though, when i kill them....it makes me seem that much better cuz i dont cheat

ThanatosDMC6088d ago

Damn, that's really bad. Never encountered a person that does that though. Good thing too. I'm surprised he likes that gun. Sure it's powerful but against a group of enemies it's a terrible weapon. My fav is the SMG and i dont spray and pray.

lokiroo4206088d ago

What a loser, no wonder these guys have 30000 points a week, if they arent removed from the leader boards, then GG has some explaining to do.

thor6088d ago

Where have you been? If you've not played it since launch then I understand your complaint, but now that they've taken out the spawn invulnerability, if you throw spawn grenades at the objective everyone spawns and dies instantly, so nobody uses it. (Who likes to be headshotted to very second they spawn?) So now people actually place spawn grenades in tactical locations out of the way.

Max Power6088d ago

I hardly played this game after I got Valor 3 2 weeks after it came out, and I am still top 100,000.

edgeofblade6088d ago

"but but but... I only use it when I'm losing..."

BattleAxe6088d ago

I had this happen to me lastnight, but I'm not sure if it was the same guy. There was one guy on the other team that had around 250 kills . It was set to 20 minute rounds. It was the same in that the person had thrown spawn grenades all around our spawn, and I couldn't seem to kill whoever was around no matter how many shots I put into them.

Prototype6088d ago

I've ran into both guys that night (we lost by the way) and the second round I was on the Helgast side and it was to the point we couldnt even leave the spawn area without getting blown away. It go so bad we wouldnt even spawn without getting 4-5 guys on us and we had to send one guy who was a scout to another area of the map just so we wouldnt get killed so fast. We still lost but it went from barely any kills to getting close to beating them.

I dont know which is worse: camp-killing or lag switching. By the way I've notice this and the Radec are the 2 biggest levels 90% of the community plays on

PtRoLLFacE6088d ago

only on ps3!! damm better dig my grave lol

cl63AMG6087d ago

I saw something like this in a warzone match the other day. I didn't know it had a name, I just thought I had a bad connection...

I dont game online much. Too much BS going on. I do plan on playing Uncharted2 online but I hope this type of BS doesn't happen.

The_Firestarter6088d ago

I'm with you there, buddy. I hope this kind of stuff doesn't happen with Uncharted 2 online. I use to have to deal with this kind of BS ALL THE TIME with Counter-Strike. It's so annoying... -_-

ThanatosDMC6088d ago

In CS, there's just those people with fast reflexes and have absolutely no lives.

One thing i hate about it is the bullet reg. Also, the fact that when i shoot the AK-47 it sprays all over the place on auto. But when this other person shoots it at full auto, it barely moves from where he pointed the cursor. WTF?!

thor6088d ago

No there were/are a lot of hackers in Counter-Strike ruining the game for everyone. Not sure if you've ever played a game with a guy who runs around, spinning wildly, making a headshot every time it's possible to hit an enemy. There are a lot of myg0t people around, shutting servers down, making people's systems crash etc.

Of course there are some people with crazy skills, but you can spec them and see that they actually are skilled and not just hacking.

The_Firestarter6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

Don't worry, I was one of those guys with super-fast reflexes and no life. I played CS and CS:S for nearly six years straight. Regardless, the hackers were annoying. People use to think I was a hacker, but I never did even though my score was usually 42 kills and 5-6 deaths. I can provide it with screenshots I took. I had the l33t skills. lol

thor6088d ago

I got called a hacker a couple of times in CS:S.

So proud :)

(Not that I was really any good)

The_Firestarter6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

Check out these screenshots I took while kicking some major ass on CS:S. I was definitely called a hacker, but I would never stoop to that level.

You should try playing in a real map in CS. Not an FY_ map.

Sorry, but I can't consider those to be great K/D unless it's on a map that actually takes some skill (and preferably not Source for that matter).

Grandreaper99996088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

The spawn grenades are by far the most exploited mechanic regardless. spawn camping all day. I can't count the amount of games where this nonesense would go on.

They should really patch this game up, and do some re-balancing of the classes. Or at least make the spawn turrets indestructible and much more damaging. They're not much of a deterrent as is.

As for lagswitchers, I've never seen something this bad, but I've had many many games where I was the top player for about 10 matches, and then I would play against another group of people and they would eat bullets like candy, and also kill with 1 shot to the body with me undamaged, sometimes through walls. Strange business in that game.

ReconHope6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

though it gets annoying but i take advantage of spawn campers with proximity mines or with the sniper class to pick them off easily.
If your getting spawn camped by spawn grenades that's really your fault and if your feeling desperate put boost on run out of there and place your own spawn grenade out of the heated area. I just hate cheaters that's all. As for turrets they are way more effective in tight corridors. You'll be lucky to get a kill in an open area unless its a huge map, try putting it in tight corridors.

Grandreaper99996088d ago

Yeah, I've tried all of the above, my teammates usually don't clue in or don't care and proceed to run into he gunfire/grenades. I get most of my kills form sneaking up behind the campers tbh. In Radec academy, both teams have tunnels that NOBODY seems to know about, it boggles my mind. Seems like the Helghast spawns are the worst designed, as they have the least amount of options to evade campers. Great game though overall, I'm just wishing for things to be a little different, but that's the case with everything I suppose.

ReconHope6088d ago

those tunnels are always empty it seems like the isa side of is a lot easier to get out because of the bots and stair cases. The bots on the helghast side are placed in places where you can just run past. Why are they behind the locker?

pixelsword6088d ago

you should be invulnerable for at least 1.5 seconds to clear the campers out.

And restore the armor for they guy with the Bazooka: most games people disarm the Bazooka, and so if you pick this dude, he's just a guy running around with a pistol. If I had the armor, I wouldn't care, as I would be able to survive it, but as it stands it's very unbalanced for him. And his armor should be able to regenerate, too.

I got more, but i'm writing a story on it where I'll post it on their site, and maybe here, so hang tight.

ThanatosDMC6088d ago

I hate people like you with the bazookas/rpgs!!! I always fight one with just a pistol and thinking that he ran out of bullets i was gonna just toy with him but then he pulls out the rpg and shoot the ground killing me or him or a group of people.

It's a no skill gun. I HATE YOU! HAHAHAH!

Grandreaper99996088d ago

Assault class with the revolver can really clear a room.. armor/boost/superpistol, no need for rockets lol.

pixelsword6088d ago

I had to bubble you guys up! LOL!

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX579d ago (Edited 579d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne578d ago (Edited 578d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro579d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken578d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown579d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72579d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken578d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya578d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast579d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood579d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

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.

OtterX808d ago (Edited 808d 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-ro807d ago

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

darthv72807d 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_807d ago

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

Cacabunga807d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos807d ago (Edited 807d 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

seanpitt23807d 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!

Iceball2000808d ago

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

Father__Merrin808d ago

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

InUrFoxHole808d ago

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

Marcus Fenix808d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989808d ago

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

1Victor808d ago (Edited 808d 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.

1Victor1112d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1112d ago

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

jznrpg1111d ago

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

badz1491111d 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!

Vengeance11381112d 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 Kim1112d ago

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

VersusDMC1112d 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?

Vengeance11381112d ago

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

solideagle1112d 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.

Phoenix761112d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

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.

blacktiger1111d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1112d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1112d ago (Edited 1112d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1111d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1111d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
