I would definately stop by the forums because "mixed feelings" is putting nicely infact the "KZ2 Elitists" are going mad! with thread titles such as "GG youre a bunch of tools"

Only two exo skeletons spawn per team at anytime, whats probably happened is your team mates have left theirs in the middle of the map where the enemy team has jumped in so theyve then had 4 you need to be in comand of at least one spawn node and WASP turret to take them suckers out.
Corinth Highway can become a massacre if you are on a team with lots of inexperienced players, basically if your tacticians dont command at least one spawn node its game over

Q: Spawn Grenades, are they in or out?!

A: Spawn Grenades are out and won’t be coming back. We feel that bringing in Tactical Spawn Points have made the game better, not worse. And this is why: although Spawn Grenades could make or break a battle and turn the tide of the Warzone game, it was causing far more problems than it was solving. In a big number of games this was causing a massive amount of unnecessary spawns, kills and deaths. Sure there are a small number of people who place and use Spawn Grenades correctly, but for the vast majority it was killing the game. They had to go. At the moment we are still tweaking the TPS points to make sure, camping, neutralizing and capturing these points will become as good as we can get it. But we won’t take them out and go back to Spawn Grenades.


Q: Custom Games, are they in or out?!

A: Custom Games are out too. We have chosen for Matchmaking for a couple of reasons: to reduce the large amount of exploits, to make sure players are put in better competitive matches and to make it easier for people to find games. As we have noticed Matchmaking is not working properly yet. We are working hard to fix that, but it doesn’t mean the choice is not valid. Custom games created unreadable lists with a plethora of different games, but very often not the game that a player is trying to find. Yes, we have taken away some of the freedom, but we’ve replaced it with a much easier, user friendly system

I can only see one side, there's no reason to take out custom games when they're already not giving us dedicated servers. This was a main problem in U2 as well.

I actually gonna miss the spawn grenade skill, that's what made Killzone unique from other FPS. But the cloaking ability for snipers is still bad ass.

Okay sorry i can see both sides more on the spawn grenade issue as for the custom games i thought mabye it was to cut down on stat boosting but no they should not take out custom games

Yeah im going to miss the spawn grenade in theory its an awesome feature but having said that i play mainly as Tactician in KZ2 and i cant stress how frustrating it was when other teamate Tactician would keep wasting spawn points in ridiculus places when i could placed it in a good strategical point. If you were playing with friends or even just in a good team spawn grenades are awesome but i will certainly not miss the badly placed SG and spawn camping

I do like the new spawn node idea but as a Tactician i now find myself not really helping with objectives because im too busy capturing and protecting spawn nodes in order for my team mates to carry out the objectives, its like a battle within a battle

So I never played the tactician class in KZ3 yet because I love playing the medic class instead, but if there is no spawn grenades then what good use is the tactician?

If you play deathmatch rather than Warzone you may not of noticed but Tacticians now fight for set spawn nodes you can also pick up airstrike from these nodes. You might want to play as Tactician its a good class you can unlock recon ability like what the Marksman class had in KZ2, IMO it makes the Tactician a little over powerd as you can see exacltly where the enemy is

Holy crap, there's a airstrike ability!!!!! Man I need to start playing as other classes.

Once a Tactician has captured a node you will notice a console near where you spawn i believe any class can pick up the airstrike device from there. I would say i get half my kills as a Tactician from straight forward shooting people and the other half from airstrike and airbots

Spawn Grenades and custom games being out are both welcome changes for me. GG GG!

Yeah well some people just need to complain about everything. KZ3 isn't perfect but it plays just fine for me and feels like KZ2 did. Oh yeah, and it has JET PACKS and MECHS!!!!

[polskaforever]

Is medic class useless if you die so fast in the beta?

Medic was one of my fav classes in KZ 2.

Yeah its getting a little heated over there at times

My only problems are, no faction balancing is diving me nuts, but i expect that to be fixed for the release, it would be nice to have fixed for the beta though
The accuraccy of the LMG is insane! people with LMGs are out sniping the sniper rifles....honestly

Something else that is getting me angry, very angry but its nothing GG can help is on the turbine map its a mad race for the Jetpacks. what people dont seem to understand is the Tacticians need a Jetpack to get up high and capture the spawn nodes

Yeah I laugh when I'm at 8x zoom miss a shot and someone looks up and gets me with an LMG that needs to be fixed... Also the hitbox for all the guns seems to need improvement because its just off allot of the time.

To be honest its the one class i never use but i do get rivived ingame so i do see medics, also they have a very sneaky unlockable perk which is they can revive themselves, its caught me out a couple times when ive ignored a downed player and hes got up and killed me lol so i make sure i finish a downed player off now

Thats what I hate about match making. In Uncharted 2, sometimes you would get put on a team with low level skill players against high level skilled players and then it becomes one sided. Custom matches should return and let the host decide to set certain rules and whatnot. I dont understand what the problem in that is? In custom games, if there is something you dont like you can just leave and find another game to suit your tastes but in match making you never know what you can get into....

Yea I saw that in videos. All these players do is camp from far away. I hope this gets fixed.

Yea I noticed that in the videos as well that you have to finish off downed players because you never know who can stab you in the back with a melee attack
