Whoever fills the meter to the top fastest wins. Meter fills by killing players from the other team. Your team is the green meter.

My one and only foray into Warzone was an unmitigated disaster. I was there for 2 gametypes. The first was Search and Retrieve. When the other team had the speaker, it was as though I was the only one actively trying to defend the drop point, or going after the carrier. The second game was Search and Destroy on offense, and no one was attempting to plant.

yeah same here...thats why my kz3 guerrilla k/d is 1.40 and my warzone is like .82 now or .92....either way. it doesn't tell the whole story...due to me always striving for the objective. i play objective when i play objective gametypes...that is the point. what makes you bad ass is if you can have high k/d and play for the objectives. i haven't had a lot of time to play yet. been to busy...just a few hours logged on. so i'm still getting it down...since i haven't played kz2 in, oh, say....ages. i have to get call of duty out of me.

this is why you need friends to play with who have the same idea. i just started playing on my ps3 as opposed to 360. so i only have bageara on there...best way to play objective is with friends.

i know when i play headquarters and demo on BO....everyone on the team has multiple defuses and plants...and plants and when we someone with none...we give them hell...and their k/d better not be a 4.0 or something and having no plants. we kick them out and they can go lonewolf style for the rest of the night since its not really helping the team. i definitely feel you on this as i don't have a team i can run with to play warzone. so i just go back to guerrilla.

the number you see by your score is, I think, your position in your team, not the overall position of everyone playing.

I've only won one G game so far, but if I can get an Ops & Warzone win I'll get myself another trophy

Damn, that sucks some people are getting crappy teams. I play by myself for the most part. I always play Warzone since I like the objectives switching constantly. I never had a problem though with my team or the other team just killing everyone. Every time people are going for the objective unless it's body count. I play as a Marksman, but even I try to go for objectives which isn't the smartest idea because I usually get killed. So for the most part I try to find a good place to cover the objective the best I can and help out my team. While I tend to get around 20-30 kills every time my death ratio is about the same I haven't finished the single player yet. It was the same with Killzone 2. I never really liked the single player but I loved the multiplayer a lot.

That's right. But winning the match is dependent on the green/red bars underneath that. Whichever team fills the bar all the way fastest will win the match. It's basically the exact same as the body count match in warzone.

On that note, I wish there were longer Guerrilla matches available. They're over so fast!

EDIT: Cool you can accept clan invites from killzone.com. I'm now a member.

I usually run around as an engineer to start fix everything I can and gauge the teams interest and if they don't feel like doing objectives I do my best for a few deaths then I just follow what everyone else is doing

I read somewhere they were looking into making the Guerrilla matches longer in an upcoming patch.

Yeah, people not going for objectives is one of my biggest beefs. So many people don't understand the importantance of tactician. I'm always having to cap them and if I leave for 2 seconds we lose our tac spawn. Then our team is like, "we were winning now we're getting spawn camped." Hrmmm...wonder why....

We played 6-10 games last night and only 2 of those games had someone else not in our squad trying to cap tac spawns. Most of the other times they were marksmans or infiltrators. I know those that valuable uses in some cases, but in these they were virtually useless.

My other complaint is the rocket launcher. Seems way overpowered. But, I would be perfectly okay tolerating it if it was only useable on the maps with the Exos. Anywhere else it's just completely abused to no end.

Anyway, done ranting. Anyone know how to turn off the EMP in Concourse?

I don't like the Turbine map at all, stupid map.

The KZ site isn't tracking achievements properly; I've had the fast reload and bullet damage ribbons but neither show on the website. Everything else seems fine.

I hit the repair bronze medal today, yay for me!

Here's a weird thing, I looked at the number 1 ranked player earlier and he doesn't appear to have unlocked anything?!?! Check out the number 2 player and he's unlocked everything. Can't be right.

Had a good session today, won my first Guerilla battle too

Got your clan invite last night but don't have the game yet and it expires on the 4th. Keep a spot open for me will you. Thanks muchly

Shrug. People do dumb things, but that happens on both teams. Have to say I've had generally good luck with teammates. W/L is 0.76 and K/D is 1.23.

+1 I have never been able to figure it out.

The button to turn off the EMP is in the lower tactical spawn point.

People do really dumb things. My favorite examples are often during assassinations. There's the guy who is at the very back of the base thinking he's a badass for 5 minutes until he loses and there's the guy who just runs into the battlefield or jumps in an exo and takes off and is shot in 4 seconds.

Oh and then there's the guy who grabs the prop speaker and runs back to our own base.

Thanks, will make use of that now.

i've embarrassed to say I've done that once or twice in KZ3 - never happened in KZ2. I find it very easy to get spun around in these maps, much easier than in KZ2. I'm still learning the maps I guess.

If you figured out you were going the wrong way that's cool but this guy just ran right back and decided to camp for awhile. So ridiculous.

[Blu Bull]

I think if you are tied, but have the speaker at the end of the match you win?

It really bothers me that the game doesn't actively show the two cap points. If you're unfamiliar with the map, it's nigh impossible to find that little stand and protect the opposing team's cap point.

I take the same issue with there being no indication of where those super turrets are on the radar. I've accidentally run into them as an infiltrator during assassination missions simply because there's no clear indication of where the opposing team's spawn point is on some maps.

i think its more of a map awareness thing and as you get used to it you know where to go...and where not to

as i have been laden with bullets from those super turrets a few times myself and once i learned where enemy base is....i don't go that far in anymore...just camp just outside of that.

[b00st]

yeah i have had the worst of luck with the few times i've been on and i had a whole crew of teammates not once go for the objective in warzone...a complete TDM inside of warzone. wasn't fun as i was trying to push for the win. i think my win ratio is 1.05
but my k/d always suffers in warzone as i have not had any luck with it. i like it but i'll be lucky if i can get half my team to go for the objective and to push a win usually requires me going a big negative. which from now on...i will not do and either quit the match or play how everyone else is playing as bad as i want the win. sure is going +20 doable for me...yes but if i play warzone and camp...but do to playing call of duty with a solid team...its just my style to play the game type and then go maybe +8 or something with always trying for the objective.

I think i'm almost done with the campaign

[Show spoiler] in space, kililng exploding spiders or something.. So far the campaign has been mixed with some blah missions and some great missions. Some very easy levels and some ridiculously hard as well (annoying actually on some at the amount of times I died).. if I'm at the end, this is pretty damn short. Very good game, though definitely not on KZ2's level of quality for the campaign as a complete package IMO

I also kind of feel like KZ2 had better A.I., like the Helgast would advance more from spot to spot and come after you in hiding more often, move around more. Doesn't seem like they do as much in KZ3.

Just played the COD: Black Ops demo.. KZ2 and KZ3 literally feel a generation ahead in gameplay and graphics, a shame COD games sell so many more copies.
