You dont have to hit it again. You hold L1 it goes to zoom, you release it it goes normal.

Whats the problem?

There was an option in KZ2 for Toggle or Hold he must of been using Toggle which was awful. In KZ3 alternative controls its just hold

I got my voucher last night as EB games (Gamestop) didnt have them in for the tuesday release. I read it last night and it says nothing about double XP, just that you get the map pack of KZ2 maps and you get all weapons unlocked for 24hrs of online gameplay.

Hi everyone,



We are aware that a few users have experienced issues claiming their downloadable content that accompanied Killzone 3 (Collector's Edition). We have been in close communication with the Game Group to resolve this matter and would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any confusion that has been caused.

Any customers that purchased the Collector's Edition from a Game Group store are advised to return to the store of purchase from 26th February with a copy of the receipt where you will be provided with a new code for this content.

Those of you who purchased the Collector's Edition online from Game Group will receive an e-mail with a new code soon

So was the double XP only to come from pre-ordering a collectors edition? I only got the regular game.

In the US it come with the Helghast edition in the UK it come with the Helghast edition and supposedly the CE steelbook

Edit: actually in the US it might of been a preorder bonus with a retailer too

what's the L3 in the sharpshooter? I'm not liking this jetpack

Using the Move for FPS is definitely more fun for me. I can barely play KZ2 but KZ3 is keeping my interest..till i get to the jetpack part

Finally got my Retro maps to show. i had to download them twice...weird

Helghast edition at amazon states double xp for the first 24 hours of gameplay. But what i've read from people is that it activates when you redeem your voucher. I don't know how it works, I played multiplayer and didn't notice double xp nor did i have all the unlocks. I'll find out here shortly.

You can purchase them through the PS store if you didn't get them with your pre-order of the game.

There's a glitch causing abnormally high turning speed in the jetpack (single-player only I think), they're patching it but it should really have been sorted for launch.

[Show spoiler]It is from the very first "level" of the campaign in Killzone 3.

I'm feeling less stupid for buying the retro pack...I still haven't received the code for pre-ordering the game.
