Killzone 3 In-Depth Class Overview: The Engineer

Gouki.com Member iorilamia has been addicted to the killzone 3 open multiplayer beta. The class iorilamia has been using most of the time is The Engineer. He took time to write a book about the Engineer class. Weapons, skills, gameplay and matchups vs others. Enjoy.

evrfighter5497d ago

sweet!

but this is all you need to know about the engineer.

captain-obvious5497d ago

thank god you can have the repair tool form the get go
Engineer was useless in killzone2 since 80% of the players didn't unlock the repair tool

i mean ppl only used him because of the bots

RIP_Weazel5497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

Tacticians own all - marksmen suck balls.

(No disrespect FACTUAL evidence...)

dredgewalker5497d ago

@captain

I did! I unlocked the repair tool cause I know a lot of engineers didn't and having usable gun turrets and ammo was a big help.

FACTUAL evidence5497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

Marksman for life.....love it or die.

@RIP_Weazel

lol, what do you mean by sucking? As in they pwn too much suck, or overall sucks? Lol I went 20 and 7 with my vc32.

RIP_Weazel5497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

...Just pure frustration through repeatedly suffering clumsy-ass self ownership by decent marksmen.
"I'll just peek out to see if i can get a bead on ....kablam! (respawn in 5...4..)"

Arnagrim5497d ago

20 and 7 would be impressive with the Sta rifle, not the VC32 scrub cannon. K/D with a gun that gets 1 hit kills from a leg shot is nothing to brag about.

Jio5497d ago

Engineer is my favorite class

dredgewalker5497d ago

Me too! Turrets and Shotgun ftw!

miyamoto5496d ago (Edited 5496d ago )

love being an engineer

I mean just repair & repair for 50 each! I just hate those campers hiding near the ammo crates though. beware guys.

TIP:
its awesome to be a marksman though if you play with the PS Move 25 kills in succession without respawning!

crazyturkey5497d ago

All the classes are awesome. If there is one disappointment for me in the whole game is that GG removed the sixaxis input for the sniper rifle. That was the coolest implementation of the sixaxis I've seen and it felt really satisfying to get kills with it.

--------5497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

-
You're right also, all of the classes are simply awesome. They're all powerful in their own way, it's actually the perfect balance.

crazyturkey5497d ago

yeah that, I was using that sniper rifle in the beta but it didn't shake at all when I moved the controller.

-Alpha5497d ago

I don't think it will come back. I'm certain it was to make the game fair for DS3 users because Move users wouldn't have it either (since they wouldn't be affected by it)

It needs to come back, sniping is too easy

jjohan355497d ago

The current open beta has way too many camping snipers for my tastes.

Sarevok5496d ago

If you get pwned by a sniper you just suck.

I play as a medic and my k/d per round is around 20-4.

So stop crying I don't wanna hear it.

dredgewalker5497d ago

Will the Move support be of any help?

Ravage275497d ago

i've heard nothing but glowing praise from Move users so far.

--------5497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

As I'm sure you've noticed (I'm a fellow sniper) It rocks when you move, but as noted the shake isn't there. I kept trying to find it when I first got the beta.

Although as I said, I can see it returning. If not, that's a tiny imperfection with an otherwise perfect game :)

Playing the beta every night baby!

CryofSilence5497d ago

Holy bad grammar, Batman! Otherwise, good summary of the class.

rbluetank5497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

the engineer is a very good class; if you know how to use it properly. the turret gun take care of flying droids,other turrets, and all other class. you at least get assist points if not kills. i shot down sniper from long range with little to no problem with my LMG. you have to use control burst fire and not spray/pray fire to get kills with the LMG. i hope to see you guys later this month on K3. FYI you can even hack enemy turrets. i haven done this yet. i will try it later on today... lol

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic461d 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.

Storm23461d 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.

lockedongamer1461d ago (Edited 461d 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!

Chocoburger452d 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.

1Victor1028d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1028d ago

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

jznrpg1027d ago

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

badz1491027d 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!

Vengeance11381028d 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 Kim1028d ago

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

VersusDMC1028d 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?

Vengeance11381028d ago

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

solideagle1027d 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.

Phoenix761027d 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

REDGUM1027d ago

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

thesoftware7301028d ago (Edited 1028d 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.

blacktiger1027d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1028d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1028d ago (Edited 1028d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1027d ago

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

Imalwaysright1027d 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

MadLad1778d 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.

Applejack1778d 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_B1778d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1778d 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.

1778d ago
Vegamyster1778d 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.

SinkingSage1778d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1778d ago (Edited 1778d 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.

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

Shane Kim1778d ago

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

MadLad1778d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1778d 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

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

Magatsuhi1778d ago

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

Binarycode1778d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1778d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
