Killzone 3 Open Beta

'Nuff said.

Excellent.

Killzone 2 was one of my biggest disappointments on the PS3, so, TBH, I couldn’t care less about KZ3.

Killzone 2 is amazing. Killzone 3 is :3. Your argument is invalid. Goodbye.

Kz2 was epic. Loved the MP on that game. I was in top %6 of all players for a while. Cant wait to see everything kz3 has to offer.

Just played the beta for 1.5 hours. All I can say is I wish I had more time. Seriously though its everything I expected it to be, which is everything I loved from the second and shit ton of new stuff that I love even more. Great job Guerrilla!

What so important or amazing about this Killzone anyway?

Just played a bit of the Beta. I love it. The controls are more responsive and the game feels more intense.

The first time I tried to join a game, there was a connection error and the PS3 froze, lol.

Maybe I won’t mind KZ3 then, will have to give it a try. I found KZ2 to be pretty awful, the controls were shoddy, and if it fails at the most basic part of a game I’m not interested.

I played it for a few hours, and then it kicked me off, and now I can’t connect.

The fact that it’s Killzone

Downloading now. I didn’t care much for Killzone 2 itself, but I did like the feel of the gameplay.

Hopefully this one will catch my attention more.

Hated KZ2’s controls, and the multiplayer matches always devolved into “who can spam the most sentries in the enemy base”

The beta is much better. I just wish they would get all that fucking god damn COD shit off of the fucking screen. I swear to god. Is it so fucking hard not to have numbers pop up every fucking where when I killed someone? If I want to know my score I’ll fucking hold select. For fuck’s fucking sake.

Multiplayer is epic :3

I played the beta for several hours with a friend. The game is definitely way better than KZ2. Sure, I don’t like some of the design choices for the soldiers and weapons, but the gameplay is pretty solid, and that’s what matters. Only thing I really dislike about it, is how when you melee it goes into this cinematic kill bullcrap where you stab them in the chest with a knife, or slit their throat, etc. I don’t even know how it works, except that most of the time, it happens when i bash from the front. Usually when I hit a guy in the back, I hit him with my gun.

It’s so stupid when I’m in an intense firefight and I bash someone only to have it go into this long animation which I have no control over only to get shot a quarter of the way through it.

I really like the flow of the gameplay, It was very fluid.
I love the weapon sounds, and this definitely is the best looking console game I’ve ever seen. Some of the textures in this one are quite good quality. We’ll, there’s my 2 cents. I’m going to go to bed now, and hope that the Crysis 2 PC demo comes out (since the xbox demo just finished) and that I have a positive response from playing that too.

My only question is does it have that really annoying blood splatter every time you take damage. Hate that.

Yes it does, but they made it a lot more subtle this time so its not as “in your face” as it was in KZ2. It also points out what direction you got shot from so its useful too.

/\ This, but

When you jump off of anything that hurts you even a little it fills up the bottom of the screen completely. Makes jumping off of stuff annoying.

It only happens when you hold the button down. Something that’s hard not to do when you have to push down the same button you use to aim.

God damn I wish console games had more customizable controls. Like the valve console ports.

Hey xalener, try the alternate control scheme.
