holy crap. did I just see a shotgun with a red dot on it?!

raztad5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

you did. It packs a punch on close but is weak at long as expected. I rarely use it scoped.

morganfell5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

Yeah, running as an Infiltrator the first thing I had to do was unlock a better weapon. The damage decreases with range due to shot spread. It's great on small maps or close in areas but on Corinth Highway in Warzone? The Engineer and Tactician have both been great classes to run. The latest patch yesterday really has this beast humming like a dream.

raztad5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

Right. It is not advised to use the shoty for anything else but Warfare and Operations, both of them set on The Dam.

I unlocked it as Medic, primarily because I wanted to unlock later the M82. Point is I ended up having a lot of fun playing warfare with it. The Dam is amazing for close combat. Its design is so good that allows for any range of combat.

Have you checked the LMG? I read it was nerfed. I surely hope it is true. The accuracy of that weapon is/was? beyond ridicolous. No recoil when scoped at all and no bullet spread.

morganfell5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

I don't think it is nerfed. I was in Warzone last night and we defending on Search and Destroy and I was shooting guys across the map where that large center stage platform is located. I was Helghast and we were having a blast. When I ran that map and mission the last time they got turrets built overlooking the demo sight and just raped the hell out of us.

My favorite weapon is the Sta 11...as long as an Engineer is keeping the ammo crates repaired. The Helghast STA3 machine gun seen here:

http://media.photobucket.co...

is a little nerfed and is like the shotgun. It is inaccurate but it puts out a wall of lead with an insane fire rate. But it was like that in KZ2. I don't have many complaints at all.

I would like to see some changes in the colors of the minimap. I was the target last night in Assassination and was having trouble seeing the zone. An infiltrator got into the area and was taking guys down with a machine gun. It's like that scene from Terminator when Kyle Reese was watching the Terminator Infiltration unit (Franco Columbo). The guy hit me with a shotgun blast and I went down with 3 seconds on the clock. It damn near killed me and then two of my guys burst in and cut him down with subs and I survived the round.

I can't brag about the game enough. I buy a lot of games. Thousands a year spent on gaming and I may slow down purchases because I know this thing will eat such a huge chunk of next year.

bageara5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

The LMG is ridiculus they need to do something about it, you can snipe with the thing

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5661d ago

What about the gun with the supressor or silencer? Is it good?

deafwing5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

It's a beast!!! O_O (even in the KZ2 .. just wasn't popular)

I can't deny I like it a little bit. :)

Yet, I digress, it's like the Quick Sniping fiasco all over again - you can mow down whole corn fields of gamers with that thing.

dead_eye5661d ago

I'm not keen on the silenced gun. It's a machine pistol. Takes a lot to take people down with it (but that's not a bad thing I suppose)

raztad5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

Just had some time to test the LMG and the M82 (standard ISA rifle).

Lets start with the positive: Once unlocked, using the M82 makes the game feel like KZ2 but with tighter controls. The recoil is really good on both hip and sights. Bullet spread is perfect. Enough power at close range, deadly at long.

Negative: The damned M22 LMG is extremely overpowered. As of now is the most powerful weapon at any range. It has to be a BUG. I dont think GG did this on purpose. Hip firing is perfect but scoped is totally wrong. I mean it cant be, the supposedly "inaccurate" LMG is dead on accurate at long rage. What also makes me thing this is a BUG is the fact, the M22 is the default weapon of the engineer class. Unlocked weapons (Sta3) are nowhere as good.

fun game, initially i thought the controls were still off but after a bit you start to get used to them, looking forward to unlocking some weapons.

Flashwave_UK5661d ago

killzone is the best fps in every aspect original realistic and exsesible

MerkinMax5661d ago

I kid, but seriously, I want to play this so bad!

ksense5661d ago

it doesn't matter how good and awesome looking this game is a typical xbox fanboy would say
Halo sold more in first week than killzone ever will.... and that SOMEHOW makes them superior

gtsentry5661d ago

sony needs to advertise this game like hell when it comes out

Flashwave_UK5661d ago

yeah lol they did that for killzone 2 and we sold 2.5 mil

hesido5661d ago

It saddens me, but advertising will not help KZ reach halo sales.

N4Great5660d ago (Edited 5660d ago )

"yeah lol they did that for killzone 2 and we sold 2.5 mil "

no, they did'nt..just internet hype/reviews.

+ install base was inferior, most offf the call of nooby crowd did'nt like the controls, so with a good marketing campain, new controls, and 43/4 millions (february) ps3, the best console fps could sell very well.

" no game takes more "skill" than the other"

you are so wrong.

raztad5661d ago

Please we dont need Halo related comments in this thread. Let us keep the trolls at bay.

Regarding sales. KZ3 has potential to be a big hit. I'm expecting campaign coop to be announced at some point. Multiplayer is amazing and I'm confident the story will be great too. There is no reason for KZ3 not to sell well.

HDgamer5661d ago

Basically this game will be a hit, only the media and trolls will try to convince you otherwise. I'll be buying this game as well as Crysis 2. But I think KZ3 will keep me glued to the screen.

BARF5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

why do you have to bring halo in here???? halo is good killzone is good. grow the fuck up. no person is superior to another just because of their game of choice. all fps's are generally the same. no game takes more "skill" than the other. even though the killzone or halo elitist will tell you different.

im in this beta and its pretty damn fun. of course some things could be a little more balanced, but that is to be expected from a beta. for some reason last night i couldnt find any full matches . i guess today i will have to try again.

Paradise Lost5661d ago (Edited 5661d ago )

This game is going to kick so much ass!

Sales don't always factor in a good game you know.

kyrosheel15661d ago

Looks like the critics are loving it so far.

bageara5661d ago

Personaly im loving it but there is mixed feelins on Killzone forums

piroh521d ago

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic521d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23521d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1521d ago (Edited 521d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger511d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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

1Victor1087d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1087d ago

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

jznrpg1086d ago

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

badz1491086d 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!

Vengeance11381087d 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 Kim1087d ago

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

VersusDMC1087d 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?

Vengeance11381087d ago

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

solideagle1087d 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.

Phoenix761087d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1086d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301087d ago (Edited 1087d ago )

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.

blacktiger1086d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1087d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1087d ago (Edited 1087d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1087d ago

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

Imalwaysright1087d ago

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

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1838d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1838d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1838d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1838d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1838d ago
Vegamyster1838d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1838d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1837d ago (Edited 1837d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

AzubuFrost1838d ago

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1838d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1837d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1838d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

RevXM1838d ago

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1838d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

Binarycode1837d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

Omar3li1837d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
