I

I always preferred KZ2 MP with smaller numbers of players. It kept the objectives from getting lost in the chaos.

 

[Arwin]

That looks ... amazing. And the Move controls look good too.

Yeah, the same for me...I always choose the 16-24 player filter in the search mask...

WOW, MP shots look ridiculously good and the MLAA is bullshots worthy by my standard. Gameplay is sooo sweet.

 

[Cornsnake]

Nice list.

But why are they telling us, and not showing us? GamesCom is the biggest tradeshow between now and KZ3 release. Outside of TGS of course, but that's not really the right market for a FPS.

I like this:

... like a picture !

LOL'ed at the bullet point: Medic can revive from the same spot (Wahahahaha !)
(He will likely die again if it plays like KZ2)

Prefers Tactician's spawn point to be destructible by others, so people who are lower class can do something about it.

Liking the changes anyway since it's still early. Guerilla seems to be trying out different gameplay. This is what I hope to see, more so than the pretty pictures.

3D and Move support is nice too I guess. Need to see how well they are done.

Graphics look awesome and the mp is shaping up to be pretty good.I'm also happy to see that their pulling a Halo 3 and giving each player their own profile page with all of they're stats and stuff.I read somewhere that KZ3 is going to have 4-player campaign co-op.Has that been confirmed or is it just a rumor??

They already did it with KZ2...they even had clan home pages/statistics & you could even challenge/enter a tourney using the website. Contrary to what most people think or miss out, Killzone 2 was a game full of features.

 

[patsu]

Yap, and you can see how MP games play out on the killzone community website (in top down view).

It's the party system that's missing. Otherwise the Warzone is very well done.

That was a bit of miss-information. Officially they have neither confirmed or denied the presence of any form of co-op in KZ3.

 

[ShadowWolf64]

That was a bit of miss-information. Officially they have neither confirmed or denied the presence of any form of co-op in KZ3.

I noticed that the mp player count for KZ3 is capped at 24 and not 32 like in KZ2.That could be because their making way for 4-player co-op along with improving they're netcode.

I didn't even know that and used to play KZ2 mp fairly often.Thanks for the heads-up..

KZ3 is going to have a party feature which is going to be great.They also announced 3 new gametypes and the one that sounds really interesting is guerrilla warfare..

May be separate from 4P co-op.

I heard some Gaffers staying away from 32P KZ2 games because they were too hectic, and impacted the framerate. They chose 16-24P.

2P co-op would be nice since they are shooting for high quality 3D.

 

[specwarGP2]

Looks ace and the gameplay speed is increased.
Looks really modern warfare like in gameplay.

Well since KZ3 has move support and move is supposed to be 1:1 it would be weird if the gameplay was slow like in KZ2.

Oh My God ! What has been happening while I was away ! Here I was thinking will KZ3 look even as good as KZ2 (cos of 3D support n shit) and these screens are screeeeaaamming for attention. God wouldn't it be awesome if MGS4 was made in KZ2 (errr... 3) engine ! Imagine all the mechs this beautiful.

Gotta watch the MP t4railer now !
