hey everyone, id like to get everyones opinion on the killzone 2 controls. i heard that it is slower to walk and to aim than other games. this is a game i might get, it seems pretty good and the online seems intense.

I liked them, personally. Not positive, but nearly positive, that you could alter the speed at which you aimed (eg: the speed at which the reticle moved in response to input from the right analog stick. There's a word for it, which someone else will point out I'm sure (please do, fyi)) could be adjusted too. I liked the default speed though. It was quick enough to lock in right quick on an enemy but not too quick that I was over shooting my target. I found it struck a great balance between quickly finding my next victim and finding the sweet spot with comfortable ease.

I agree, the controls are slow but I only played the Demo, so I didnt have time to get used to it. I think you would adapt to it if you play it longer just like every other game so i'll buy it if I were you.

To me it feels just right. They had a patch before to fix it anyways.

I find it a bit clunky, but I think that is what they want. It's funny, as I just blogged about getting used to the KZ2 controls from coming off another game.

There's a heaviness to the movement, like you're wearing a giant space suit. Personally, I don't have a problem with the controls, but a lot of people complain about a sort of lag with the movement. I don't notice it.

Yeah I don't really notice it either. The controls are just vastly different from any other shooter. There's a certain "heavy" feel to em and I think it's great. I love me some killzone =)

I'm not at all bothered by the controls (I play on highest sensetivity), what is weird though, is the fact that the campaign has the little delay (obviously to make it more cinematic feeling) but the multiplayer doesn't have that little delay in the turning or movement.

Fortunately for me I replayed the demo about 15 times before getting the game. I had pretty much gotten used to the controls by purchase time, minus a few things I found out later on, but overall in comparison to lets say COD 4 or 5 slighty different but pretty much every FPS has its own tweaks. It was a great experience to me learning a slightly different setting. Great, Great game. No matter what after a short while you get used to it like you would in any game. I really don't understand what the fuss is. I don't want every game to have the same feel anyway. Killzone 2 gets away from the usual which was perfectly fine with me.

I never got used to the controls. It feels like you are running in mud with barbells hanging from your gun. I gave it so many chances, and I just never had fun. Honestly, if any other FPS got released with those control issues, then it would have been crucified. However, since KZ2 seems to be the mediocre selling second coming of Jesus, it was quickly forgiven.

If you like to just run up on people COD like then no you won't like it. If you've played Gears of War when you run you can't make quick turns which kinda how K2 is. I personally didn't like Gears but really enjoy K2.

It's called SENSITIVITY and yes, you can change it; however, there is always a slower start to how your gun moves, kind of imagine your character's head tied to a loose rope to your controller's right analog stick, when you press right, the wave travelling down the rope is how your character turns...if you can understand that...don't feel bad if you don't, probably noone can. Anyway, I personally love the controls, they feel great, and easy to get used to, about a half hour in and you won't even notice it.

Don't listen to the bit*hing that goes on about it. And online, you are at no disadvantage, because everyone's game controls the same. After playing K2 I think games like COD4 just feel like videogames.

I thought at times that the controls were terrible, the shooting was difficult to aim, the movement was slow and you couldn't zoom in further when you're using the sniper whilst in cover, other wise the game is awesome though

They are kind of slow and clunky if you've been playing something like Call of Duty 4 for a while. I actually quite like how it handles for off the hip aiming and general movement, my only issue is with the deadzone with mostly effects weapons when sighted. Sometimes it's difficult for you to get onto your target assuming there moving and due to the deadzone it's definitely not an easy task to trace your target with something like say a sniper rifle. Which is an issue considering how sniper rifles on Killzone apparently require small amounts of lead on moving targets. But I think otherwise Snipers may risk being overpowered especially on specific maps. Plus you do get used to it to an extent. I love how you move and aim off the hip on killzone 2 though, it's great. Just some minor deadzone issues within sighted/zoomed views.

I think its a combination of the DS3 and the in game controls. The DS3 isn't really made for shooters.

Basically, what it comes down to is that you should either rent or borrow KZ2 before dropping $60 on it. I wish that I would have. I could have saved myself $60, because the sluggish and inaccurate controls just never got fun for me, and I'm an avid fps fan.

I like the controls, but that's probably because it's the first game that I completely PWN online.

I personally didn't like it, especially the acceleration factor in the looking/aiming end. In other words, I didn't like that if i snapped the stock to the right it would go slowly at first and then move faster. I personally like a consistent rate of view.

It takes a while to get used to, but yeah, I like them. It makes it feel very realistic, as you actually feel heavy and therefore take time to jump.

^ Are you sure? I rented it when it first came out and couldn't change the control settings similar to COD4 (L2+R1 to shoot).

I like the way you move but not the way you turn/look. Sure it gives you kind of a heavy feel, like there's actually a weight. But it makes it way to hard to aim, you get used to it after a while but it still not as good as in other games. I don't like it when the difficulty of a game is determined by slow/clunky controlls.

I did increase the sensitivity and found it to be very nice. It takes a bit getting used to, but they have tweaked it to make it easier than before. I like the controls and feel that a lot of people complained because they weren't instant pros like they were at COD. It feels good to get kills in Killzone.

when i played the demo, i was having trouble with the controls. i just got the game today and by the 2nd mission, i got used to the controls. Im pretty sure they patched the controls online and i noticed it was a lot easier for multiplayer. My point is GET THE GAME! The multiplayer itself is worth the money.

flipknoc
Yes you can. Switch it to "Alternate 2." Its EXACTLY like the COD4 setup. There are either 4 or 6 control styles to choose from (maybe six, but I stopped when I got to Alternate 2 myself) there is a control setup for everyone. Also you can change sensitivity of both X and Y axis, and they have the new 'High Precision' option.

Dude if you aren't turning fast enough then crank up the sensitivity on your 'X' axis.

Ultramarine777
yup. They actually had 2 patches that updated the aiming. Its the single player that has the "slow" aiming. It feels different online. I encourage you to buy KZ2. Dont let the trash talk on aiming keep you from enjoying its awsome campaign and its addictive online.
