Completed Killzone 3, very good campaign IMO, some boring parts but some were great, nice sci fi moments.

Dialogue was decent, good they reduced alot of swearing from KZ2, music was amazing as always, some set pieces was awesome while others were meh.

I know I said Killzone is a typical run and gun, but thanks to the slide and infinite sprint, I was playing it like Bulletstorm meets Vanquish LOL.
I was sprinting, shooting, sprint, sliding to cover, jumping across cover and sprint close to a helghast and sliding to avoid enemy fire and went in for the brutal melee.

A game like Killzone that sint suppose to be fast I got to say, I made the game much more faster, even my sister was shocked how fast I was playing and doing my "one man army" stuff, I loved doing that.
Multiplayer should definitely have slide, no idea why they removed it. The slide isnt a gamebreaker if it was in MP, its not like you would slide alot like in Crysis 2, Bulletstorm or Vanquish.
Nice feature really.

I give the game a 9/10.
Great campaign, really enjoyed the characters and nice performance from Malcom and Ray Winston (now bring Brian Cox back!), nice sci fi set pieces, especially near the end.
Multiplayer is great, if only they fixed a few minor issues, it is much more enjoyable than Killzone 2 MP thats for sure.

I hated the on-rail sequences, really annoying IMO.
Except the one that is in the demo and near the end of the game (i liked the one near the end because it was in space! which there was more. I hated the scrapyard levels, ugly and just very annoying. Loved the snow levels.
I REALLY loved the Helghast HQ were you infiltrate their base, awesome atmosphere and artstyle


I am glad I kept it, dont know how much I will play it once more games come out, but I am sure I will play it from time to time when I am in mood for awesome Killzone style, which I am certain it will be alot!

PS. Graphics + Killzone atmosphere + artstyle + sci fi + music = Wow!
Totally forgot to mention that AMAZING sequence where there is no gravity on that space ship, that was FUCKING awesome. I didnt realize there was no gravity at first and i saw dead bodies flying around and i was in awe... so cool.

I ran into a few glitches that really thwarted my progress in a couple spots (ended up restarting a few sections) but I just finished the SP and I really loved it. Story took itself way too seriously in some spots, and not enough in others, but I thought the conspiracy between the two dictators was entertaining, while not at all as threatening as Visari in the first two.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just wish I hadn't run into a few big glitches.

I experienced just a few, but same glicthes, it was that when you died Rico wouldnt come (bastard!) and I couldnt bleedout.
But yes, it required to restart a checkpoint.

I agree, some parts was meh in the story but some parts was pretty serious and well done, mostly with Narville and Sev, Rico was the same douche..douche with a good heart of why he does it LOL

Rico was handled WAY better than in kz2 i thought, atleast as a character. I think they messed up yet again w/ the reviving AI, its still awful.

Why the hell does some MP maps have that nasty, ugly, bullshit grainy filter on!?
GG, people want crisp and clean looking games, that is why nobody uses film grain in Mass Effect!

Yes I love it too!
I am playing Tactician exclusively, with Enginer now and then for turrets and fixing ammo crates quickly, but Tactician is my main.

I dont talk much when I play any game so I dont know how much of a use that would be.
Though I am a great team player, you can tell by just looking at what I am doing in the game, though tacticians arent as helpful without a mic considering they have scanners. But I might give it a go next time we both play at the same time.

I'm seriously leaning towards playing operations exclusively unless im playing in clan matches. Warzone with randoms is fucking awful, so many terrible team players that don't even try for the objectives. Frustration..

just completed it, and i loved it, some of those later moments where just pure EPIC. took me about 9 hours on veteran. half an hour longer then K2

the last mission was good, but i wish it wasnt used as the actual LAST mission. i'll never understand why any game would want to end on something like that, halo reach did the same thing with it's mounted gun section, and it confused the hell outta me. you have a great FPS, and you end on a limiting, on-rails section? WTF?

the cutscene that follows the credits was a bit 'lol' too tbh. kind of an "indiana jones in a fridge" moment. but it leaves it open for a sequel, and that a good thing imo. i reckon it'll be set on earth. i just hope they dont set it in some cliche location like, god forbid...NY. i'm hoping it's pretty much unrecognisable as the earth we know now. huge futuristic city-scapes etc.

as a whole i loved it tho, much better and much more varied then the second game. i even liked the story...and rico. he came across as a decent character this time around. although his voice still grates on my a little.

will probably play through again on normal (in 3D) and another time on easy (with MOVE) and then i'll be done with it for now.

now for the multiplayer.

I would hate it if Killzone went with the bullshit route of going to Earth, its going to piss me off.
Isnt Vekta the ISA planet now? why not attack there and have awesome atmosphere there just as Helghan but more human like? Could be great.

they've been there already. chances are they're going to go for earth, where both planets inhabitants originated from. it'll probably look like vekta anyway.

For example Deus Ex 3 takes place I believe in LA, but it looks absolutely nothing like that.
If GG can deliver something that, then fine.
I dont want anything close to real life places in Killzone, thats the beauty of it the franchise, the atmosphere and amazing unique artstyle.

I hope it doesnt even go to Earth at all.

it's bound to go to earth. you're just going to have to accept that. but considering the cities of vekta looked like this...





i'm pretty sure what we see of earth will look equally as unfamiliar. there is no way that earth in the killzone universe will look like earth as it is now. not a chance in hell.

Look at how guerilla handled the look of helghan.. i wouldnt worry about whatever they do for art direction of earth. And its almost certainly going to take place on earth. Stahl's.. plans... pointed to a focus on earth.

New Warzone maps for MP, no release dates though :(

Stahl's Arms
http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=2aX7ybXs...

Junk Yard
http://www.killzone.com/kz3/en_US/home.html#/?cont...

I dont like Junk Yard map, cool rain and thunder, but I hate maps that looks too crowded.
Though I love Stahl's Arms, very clean, very nice interior designs...etc. I wanted that since chapter 1 from story, loved the artstyle. Reminds me of the ISA ship from KZ2 :)
