Destructoid: Beta Test: Killzone 3

Destructoid: The Killzone 3 beta officially kicked off this week and you can bet your filthy ISA-sympathizing arse that I've been knee deep in the dead since it did. Of course, the dead were mostly my previous spawns that had been mercilessly killed by much better players, but that's besides the point.

Obviously, the official point of a beta is to provide feedback to the developers, even if "beta" just means "glorified demo" these days, and I've got plenty of thoughts. Why not read them and see if you agree? Read on for a breakdown of the good and the bad in Killzone 3.

Good discussion of the good and bad of the Killzone beta.

Can you still get into the beta?

[SnuggleBandit]

I keep checking Playstation Plus, but It's not there. I'm sure I was one of the first 10,000 to download the theme.

If you haven't already, check your e-mail dude :-)

The game looks like it will be the best online MP experience and I can't play it until February.

Sidenote. GG should make the map packs for KZ2 free for like 2 weeks before the KZ3 release to get more people amped for the release.

Sidenote 2. CoughTHISLOOKSWAYYYYYBETTERTHA NCRYSIS2cough...

They've made a mess of the codes, if you did download the theme you need to head over to killzone forums, they are trying to sort it out.

I never had PS+ but have tried everyother way, and then some people claim they have a few codes.

I really wanted to try it out as well.

Not sure if IGN has gave any away yet.

Is anyone having trouble getting in a game? mine keeps saying i have a connection problem... which i don't.

never mind it works now.

[Hell-Helghast]

Of all the people who got in it would you guys say its worth $60?

[BulletToothtony]

you're an idiot

[Nambassa]

worth $100 for me personally!

[dead_eye]

priceless.

on topic I couldn't agree more with the article. Spot on in everything.

[offdawall]

I hate everyone that has the beta!!! My internet is down an I have to wait :('' you guty suck lol

Don't know, I've been reading the forums and it seems like the hardcore folks aren't digging the aiming controls. I've asked if aim-assist was present, waiting for the answer. I sure hope there isn't any aim-assist. There's no glory, IMO, when you let the computer helps you pwn the opposition.

Not sure what the complaining is about. Some sway and heaviness still exists. Not what it was in KZ2 but it seems to be a happy medium. I was on until 12 last night and then on again about 430 this morning and didn't hear a single complaint.

One word describes this beta...brutal. The most brutal game I have ever played.

[bviperz]

Can you confirm if aim-assist is present? I apologize but you will need to do some brief camping for this test. Try this, look down the barrel and aim at a stationary enemy. Let go the analog sticks and wait. If your weapon moves with the enemy then aw sh!t, we got noob assist.

[morganfell]

I went back and tried it. Maybe it was the distances. I am not sure but I wasn't seeing any auto aim or aim assist. And I was having a blast. Best MP game...ever.

If I remember correctly, Hulst said aim assist only existed for the Move, not for the DS3.

Shew, color me re-leaved! Bubs+ for the quick test, thanks!
