I've taken quite a liking to the Infiltrator class.

Nitrowolf24804d ago (Edited 4804d ago )

i've been tactician and loving it, get to see you infiltrators.

Nitrowolf24804d ago (Edited 4804d ago )

oh and also, just wondering
can any body tell me who these guys are?

I see Radec, Visari, then some unkown Helghast (never seen him) then Matroc, then some other unkown guy

and yes this is in Killzone 3 (museum level)

Focker4204804d ago

MASSIVE SPOILER BELOW!!!

I think thats Visari's body double, or second in command. Notice in the opening vid how when 'Visari' grabs his daughter/wife's hand and she pulls away really quick. I think that is Visari's double, and the one that was killed in KZ2.

GG obviously never said any of this I'm just guessing based on the intro. Plus who else would be 'welcomed home' in the final KZ3 cutscene?? Stahl and that other guy are obviously dead, and supposedly Visari is as well. Who is the new Helghan leader??

I may have to play the original KZ on PS2 again to see if there are any other characters.

Killustrious4804d ago

@ Nitrowolf2:

(From left to right)

Radec, Visari, Cobar (KZ:L), Metrac (KZ:L) and Lente (KZ1)

alien6264804d ago

marksman for me now thats where u get real melee kills are haha

LORD-PHOENIX4804d ago

@nitrowolf thanks for the heads up

i didnt know tacticians can see infiltrators,infiltrators really piss me off

Nitrowolf24804d ago (Edited 4804d ago )

@Lord Pheonix
well you have to pay attention to the radar, thats how you know they are fake right away (tactician have UAV)

@Kill

thank you so much, i forgot there names and wasn't sure

NukaCola4804d ago

EvilDoomNERD!!!!!

AHHHH This game is still in the mail! I have been slaying into some Mass 2, but jeez APO shipping is slow on this one. But this week boys, the Necrum will be there. You have a lead on me, but I'll catch up.

M-Easy4804d ago

About 2,500 of those kills are mine and sadly about 2,500 of the deaths are mine also. Hey what can I say I don't camp I go for the objectives.

ChineseDemocracy4804d ago

@Focker420

I think it would be absolutely amazing if that were the case. That would prove that the story isn't as shallow as people make it out to be. There's such a great backstory to the whole killzone universe, it's a shame that it lacks a proper narrative.

Anon19744804d ago (Edited 4804d ago )

Haven't had a chance to take this game for a spin online yet but I'm having a blast playing the main campaign. I can't believe the same sites that were complaining about KZ3's story were the same sites falling all over themselves for that on-rails turd - Black Ops. I've enjoyed every single Call of Duty title up until that point, but Black Ops was just a mess for me, and the story was ridiculous.

***BLACK OPS SPOILER****HALO REACH SPOILER ****
The entire time I was like "Please don't let Reznov be imaginary, that would be so weak if Reznov was imaginary. Aw shit."
It's just the laziest bit of story writing I've seen in awhile, and that's saying a lot considering game stories usually get the short end of the stick.

And yet Killzone 3's story was apparently weak. Whatever. A bit generic, sure - but Black Ops gets a pass? Halo Reach? For the love of god, Reach consisted of running from point A to point B until you were all dead, roll credits. And here's Cortana for some reason! Get her to point B! WTF was that? Bungie really phoned that one in.

end rant...

clank5434804d ago

@darkride- I definitely agree that CoD and Halo didn't have the best story in the world, but Killzone 3's isn't anything to write home about. I actually thought the first half wasn't bad, but the second half is GG basically fabricating excuses to get from one set piece to another through dialogue.

Personally, I don't really care, as I thought the campaign was really fun for a one time playthrough and the online is where the real meat of the game is. I would definitely give this game a solid 9/10 because it has some major missteps in the campaign area, but the online is far above Call of Duty and Halo in strategy and its great for gamers that don't want to deal with mass numbers of idiots camping or jumping around the entire map.

MaxXAttaxX4804d ago

KZ's story is good, but not that great.
Still, some reviews were harsh on it for some reason and gave other games a pass for having a mediocre story/storytelling.

vishant1014804d ago

either alot of people suck or this game is good
im guessing game is good :)

vishant1014804d ago

y do u get disagrees for simple comments

Focker4204804d ago

Engineer all the way. That 2nd LMG is a beast.

Pretty impressive numbers considering the game wasn't even available in europe for 3 of those 5 days.

showtimefolks4804d ago

are the best class but i do mix up and play every class

redsquad4804d ago

Yes, I'm spending all my unlock points on the Engineer career - You can get a good score just for repairing, so no need to go gadding about blowing people away as much.

Soldierone4804d ago

I didnt like Engineer at first but its my favorite class now. The second gun just rapes people without even aiming. They are at a huge disadvantage with distance though, but what can you do?

Urrakia344804d ago

REALLY wish I could contribute:(

clrlite4804d ago

Why can't you Urakia?

Attribute 1 million of those hours to me, j/k.

Best online FPS on a console probably.

Urrakia344804d ago

@clearelite- because I don't own the game yet due to the fact that I'm broke:( Being in high school without a job sucks:(

darksied4804d ago

@Urrakia34

That's fine, when you do get it, you'll appreciate it all the more.

sickbird4804d ago

Infiltrator is a cowards class. Only class i ever play is tactition because the only gun i like is the M82.

BX814804d ago

Yeah infiltrators suck a big one! I like the M82 it's beast but the sniper rifle is awesome too!

helghast1024804d ago

Infiltrators are cowards? how so? they're the only guys on your team thats not afraid of running amongst the enemies ranks, they're not looking for immediate kills, they think more strategically than anyone else because one misstep costs them their lives.

Why dont you direct that hate towards Marksmen? sitting in their corners with the M66 or on the other side of the map, away from the action with the VC32

AssassinHD4804d ago (Edited 4804d ago )

I see a lot of people complaining about infiltrators. The tactician class is a direct counter to infiltrators. You can also just pay attention to your mini-map. If you see an ally, but don't see them on the mini-map, then shoot them.

sickbird4804d ago

I say their cowards because they disguise themselves as your teammate and when you hesitate for a second in this game your dead. Even as a tactition you cant always be looking at your radar, i guess the only solution is shooting anyone you see and that wastes ammo.

I don't point out marksmen because that goes without saying, snipers are pansies everyone knows that. That goes for every multiplayer game.

@Evildoomnerd
You and me both! Killzone 3 is straight up fun. And for those badmouthing it, don't knock it till you try it!

xAlmostPro4804d ago (Edited 4804d ago )

I use every class throughout a game lol.

Tactician as soon as i start to make sure my team have the spawn points.

Marksman for enemy assination & capture the objectives(once we have them) and search & destroy defense.

Infiltrator for enemy search and destroy & capture the speaker, also enemy assassination when they're just out of reach of sniping positions.

Medic during body count and capture the objectives, just providing support to the tacticians capturing etc.

Then engineer during bodycount, search and destroy defense just making sure my team have supplies.

Obviously different situations cause for a change here n there, but yeah i dont' stick to one class the whole game :D

Although marksman sniper is my favourite to use & i do so at every given chance, i change frequently for the sake of the team & objective.

gypsygib4804d ago

I've been being the engineer. I'm not doing terribly bad, 1.59 k/d

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor351d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar351d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg350d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149350d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138351d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim351d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC351d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138351d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle351d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76351d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger350d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca351d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal351d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright351d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1102d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1102d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1102d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1102d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1102d ago
Vegamyster1102d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1101d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1101d ago (Edited 1101d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

MadLad1101d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1102d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1279d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
