I like Blood Gracht so getting stuck isn't a big deal for me haha.

Yeah, you guys should be masters of that map. Playing now if anyone wants to join message me ingame or send me an invite.

Played a warzone game last night and it managed to get a total of 5 players! Is there really nobody playing anymore? I haven't downloaded the map pack so does it only match me with other people that don't have them?

I can honestly say that I have not had any problems playing online. Perhaps I have just got lucky.

Played warzone this afternoon and had a full Corinth Map. Of course, I had to manually chose it. First time I've played a full warzone map that wasn't Salamun Market.

Try changing regions? I have problems getting into games because "the world is full". I play North American. I've noticed that when I play with the Euros on here their games ARE running rather low on players.

People are leaving the game? Well, that just means that the good players/players who really like the game will be left to play it. Again, I'm not having problems playing on full teams.

Picked up a pack of FPS Freeks and slapped one on each controller. I'll see how I do. It *does* feel like I'll be able to aim more subtly (though I'm not sure that's my problem.)

I tell you, once you get the Move configured right, you can be a juggernaut. I've never been good at console FPS's and I consistently get 5+ kill streaks and 15-20 kills. I almost feel like I'm cheating.

I hope that all the PS3 FPS become Move compatible. I wish that GG would map the Move for KZ2 a la MAG. Can't wait to play SOCOM 4.

Just download the map pack, you can get it for free.

Think it can only be downloaded in the US.

After last night I'm really starting to go off this game. I don't know if the medic can take less damage that other classes but I'm down with 1 or 2 bullets all the time, whereas my shots seem to do minimal damage. A player was coming towards me in a game and I hit him with 3 lots of burst fire from my weapon (in the face) and he just ran up to me and killed me with melee. It's so frustrating

Medic is on the weaker side. Make sure you have the armor upgrade set and not extra ammo or silent footsteps. The medic's start off gun is weak, I'm using the LMG when ever I use them.

So Steel Rain map pack this Tuesday, anybody seen a trophy list for it?

http://thegamershub.net/2011/03/kill...-this-tuesday/

[1blufan]

Had no idea they had a map pack coming out.
Maybe they should fix there sh*t first before tossing out a map pack,just my opinion. Won't touch this map pack until the multiplayer is fixed (Map Rotation especially).

Sorry don't know about any trophies for the DLC.

Price is alright $4.99, but you only get two maps.

Patch 1.07 should add the dlc trophies in the next 2 days, and finally private matches: http://www.playitnews.co.uk/2011/03/...ivate-matches/

Hopefully, GG server side maintence on Monday solves some of the glaring issues and also the patch 1.07.

Ya I won't be buying this one at least for now. Most of the matches I played today were very frustrating. I have a hard time finding balanced matches at all right now, adding in a map pack will probably make it even worse.

I do use the armour and the medic's third level weapon. Just to compound my frustration I played a guerilla warfare match yesterday and finished top with 26-11. Most kills and highest kill streak! I wasn't dying with one bullet and was having fun. Next match it was insta-death time again and I finished last (admittedly on a map I hadn't played before, but still).

Server maintenance is supposedly done and we should be able to login again.

The LMG has a fantastic firing rate and masses of ammo, but it's not very accurate; it's a spray and pray weapon. I tend to use the Engineer's secondary weapon (Sta or something) which is more accurate but does need reloading more often.

I've started unlocking the Medic but it'll be a while before that's 100% given how little time I get to play at the moment I don't think I've touched the game for nearly a week and I had high hopes of this being my first Platinum game too.

That said I should be online tonight for a couple of hours. Hopefully the FPS gods will smile on me and I'll actually get some points, unlike the last time I played which was appalling. I'll stick to the maps I know; Frozen Dam, Pyhrrus Crater and Blood Gracht. As I'm going for max points I'll have to go for a Warzone game, but I swear if I end up on yet another unbalanced game... I don't mind losing as long as I have a fighting chance of winning!!

Over on the Killzone forums per their Dev team the map pack will not be out tomorrow, they are not sure how that got started.

Hey all,

I just saw this on a website as well. NOTE: this is not true. DLC Steel Rain will not be out tomorrow.

I'm trying to figure out where they got this from.

Preliminary patch notes Patch 1.07

Hey all,
I know you want to be informed as much as possible. So I'm writing up the preliminary patch notes for Patch 1.07.

Please Note: this is subject to change and we don't know exactly when this will go live yet. I will inform you on that as soon as we can, but we are trying to roll this out in the first week of April.

Explanation of Custom Games
Custom Games will be rolled out in 2 patches. This one (1.07) and a future patch. We don't know when this will be yet.

PHASE ONE
Phase One of Custom Games gives players the option to create unranked games with the choice of:
* Game Mode
* Map
* Missions (Warzone only)
* Mission Time (Warzone only)
* Invite Squad members
* Invite Enemy Squad Leader

This gives players the ability to create private matches, and playing with and against friends or a rival clan for instance. People who don’t get an invite to these games won’t be able to join through matchmaking.

PHASE TWO
We still need to spec this out, so this is subject to change, but we are looking to add the options of choosing:
* More configuration options for missions in Warzone and Operations
* Adjustable kill count for Guerrilla Warfare
* Configurable Unlocks (choose which one you want to play with)
* Configurable Classes (choose which one you want to play with)
* Configurable Weapons, Abilities, Skills, Ribbons
* Friendly Fire On/Off
* Brutal Melee On/Off

That's it for now!

Thanks,

Lev
