I play as medic and get nearly 7k a match. You're just doing it wrong.

I didn't get to play as much as I'd hoped last night but I got five games in and a couple of bot battles to start me off.

I loved it, I really enjoyed being back in the KZ world. The first big obstacle was not knowing the map at all, where is everything! I walked straight into a dead end when I spawned

Second obstacle is that I'm using the Move and I couldn't find any instructions for what button did what! Trial and error sorted that out but I'm not sure how I carry out a melee attack. I love the wrist flick reloading but I still need to get the hang of using this control system.

That said when I joined a game I finished 4th three times in a row which I thought was pretty good.

I reckon if I carry on I'll soon have the controls nailed, I'll play around with the Move sensitivity options and by the time the game arrives I hope they'll be second nature. I do like the look of the Sharpshooter though.

A big thumbs up for me. I didn't really encounter any issues. I played one game of Operations which I thought was a great new addition to the game modes.

I'm a little disappointed with the reviews but they mostly seem to be saying the online is superb but the single player is a bit flat. Well, fair play, most of us spend more time online especially once we've finished the campaign.

I won't be on again until Saturday night as I'm out on the razz tonight

I was going to join you for a couple of games last night but I was only on for 30 mins. Still getting used to the career points and unlocking weapons and abilities but it's a superb game.

There's a great satisfaction to a Move brutal melee but also great embarrassment if you miss and lose your aim..

The 3D is pretty cool alright, well worth checking out if you get the chance.

I'll keep at the Move and I'm sure I'll get better at it, but gona play a few more games with Bots before I jump back in to the MP chaos!!

This [which has probably been shown in this thread before] would, I think, BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL when using Move. It looks like you will have far greater control and add realism to the game.

really liking the beta. skipped KZ1 and 2, but i might have to pick this up. have to say Infiltrator is my favorite class so far. its funny watching the other team unsuspectingly run pass you and then shooting them in the back lol. I been using Recon as well, love the cloak.

PS, they need to add more sensitivity options. even at 0% it still moves a little to quick for my taste(coming from BFBC2). i think -10% would be perfect for me. also the melee button is entirely way too sensitive

Hopefully I can actually connect tonight for once and play something besides bots!

Not sure about that. Then everyone's a bullet sponge and fights (like in Resistance multiplayer) and fights get extremely boring and annoying, IMO

[partridge]

I don't mind the health side of things, I thought the opposition "died" in after a reasonable number of hits. If you can buy health boosts then that will balance it out, but I found it more realistic to take someone out without having to reload part way through shooting them!

I found it more irritating in KZ2 that one person could take out a sentry guns; that shouldn't be possible (unless they have the rocket gun of course). I'll be interested to see how tough the sentry guns are this time.

Boring and Resistance should never be used in the same sentence! But I know what you mean.
KZ3 damage seems more realistic to me. A player can't (shouldn't) just run out into the open expecting to take a few hits and survive.

I must say this is the best looking FPS I have ever played. After playing the beta for awhile I popped in Black Ops and man what a difference, it made COD look last gen.

The environmental effects are amazing, the sound of the wind blowing, snow falling and everything, it all just adds to the immersion.

I love the mode that just keeps switching between different objective types like Search and Destroy, Assassination, Capture the flag, Body Count.... That winter map is just huge and I love how they have different set areas where the action tends to go. Its great that you don't need to keep going back to a lobby and wait for the next board, you get much more playtime in this way.

Did not experience ANY lag!

I didn't try the Move yet, I think I would rather wait to get a gun attachment, cant imagine it would be all that great control wise just holding the Move wand out all the time.

I like the looks of the Sharpshooter attachment, but why do they have to go and put bright orange all over it? Its not like it looks real or anything.

I'm going to try tweaking in botzone later. After trying move controls for a moment, I switched to controller because I wanted to play competently. The move control system feels like mag's where you have to point/aim the move to the side of the screen to turn. Maybe bumping up the sensitivity will help, but I felt a distinct disadvantage with the default settings.

Even on the regular controller I had to bump my sensitivity up to 50%.

Sadly I think the sharpshooters colours are down to a requirement to make it look nothing like a real gun in case someone confused it for the real thing. Stupid I know, but I bet that's part of the reason why it clearly looks like a toy and not a realistic rifle/gun

I think all "toy guns" are legally required to feature orange for safety reasons. Look at nerf guns.

haha, I didn't mean to overdramatize things. I like both Resistances, but was annoyed at how much damage people can soak up in multiplayer.

I think your right. cant have people running around with replica Sub-machine guns

I figured that was it, still goofy if ya ask me. I remember as a kid having a fake lever action shotgun, all the cool kids took the orange cap off the end

Will the Sharpshooter be out by the time of the games release? I just noticed it says ISA on it.

Amazon lists it available on the 22nd.

I had toys like that too, orange cap on the barrel.
My kids toy guns are entirely orange in most cases.

I am stuck right now if I want this or Bulletstorm on the 22nd. I loved the Bulletstorm demo but Killzone is great too.
