Pyrhhus Rise is one of my favourites, same with Salamun Market and others.

Radec Academy with 32players is an absolute shit storm of explosions gun fire and falling concrete, gotta love it!



Andrew, I was sort of ticked that I couldn't play for 5-10min and keep my points but then I figured out something obvious....When you search for a server you can search for a server that is only doing Body Count or whatever. This way it's 5minute rounds versus 25minutes for a complete rotation. Plus in Body Count mode you get 2points for every kill and if your team wins 50% more.

I can't see why you guys find it to be so good? The controls are really hard to figure out and the player 'feels' to be so sluggish and slow. The weapons are pretty lame and it feels quite arcadish. I've been playing the latest COD games and have to say that they are a ton better in gameplay, controls, weapons and graphics. Maybe it's a sort of different genre for me, but I was really disappointed in it..

I haven't opened mine yet . . . Maybe I shouldn't.

The graphics of both COD MW and WaW are nowhere near as close to that of KZ2. In regards to COD's controls being "better", they are just a completely different style.

The movement in KZ2 has a considerable amount of weight to it, as opposed to the deliberate "arcade-like" smoothness of COD. While I personally prefer the movement in COD, KZ2 is the exact opposite of arcade-ish.

The weapons are very basic, but then again, the focus of the multi is on the class system (class abilities in particular). It simply is a different flavor...I love them both (COD4 and KZ2 that is).

Keep playing. The first time through the demo I thought the game was terrible, since the last game I played was COD4. This game is better in almost every area.

Edit: By the way, switch the control setup to Alternative 2, and do zoom hold. It's the closest to the COD games, and should make getting used to the controls a lot easier. With that, I can duck with L2 using my middle ringer, aim on L1, and shoot with R1. It makes it really easy to pop out from cover and shoot.

Alright. I'll try and change around the controls. I just wasn't so fond of spending time online to lvl up to access those other classes. Using different guns is a bit more interesting when playing. I found the guns to take up so much space on the screen as well.

What are you guys sn? I think I just addded cleanme yesterday. Maybe we could host a party and you'll show me how it's done

I think the gun takes up more space is for a few reasons. If you play Single Player and go up to someone you'll always be shorter, but if you look at Sev's shadow he isn't short. Which leads me to believe that the camera view is chest level since that is where your gun is. So, that makes the gun take up more space (if it does, I didn't notice). If they did make the guns a bit bigger in screen area terms they probably did it to show off their kick ass gun models and animations! In the Developer interviews the Devs kept on saying how they wanted to make shooting feel like something tangible, visceral - fun. So I know I certainly appreciate it, I LOVE the Shotgun even though I suck ass with it during MP. The standard ISA Rifle is awesome, on the desert level it's without a doubt the best universal gun as it has range and fast firing up close for my style of play.

But now that a lot more people have leveled up you can pick up the better weapons and now there are Engineers to repair the ammo boxes to refill them I was happier than a pig in sh!t the other day when I found a nearly full Grenade Launcher

Yeah I got your add, there's an easier way to level up. If you're online today we'll do it. Basically I set up a 32player match and invite you and fill the rest with bots and only play bodycount (each kill is 2points) and then we just own

I haven't done this yet because it seems a little cheap but screw it I want my damn Scout!

Andrew, Dynamic, Bronto & Barrister we should set a time up?

Everyone was going this to stat pad so they patched it and you can't add bots online for the time being. They said when the re-implement bots they most likely won't yield points.

I am going to be out of town until tomorrow evening but I will def play after 9:30 PM EST.

Won't add bots? There are tons of bots when I play. Might be because it's in the EU zone? Some guys got these flying things as well, pretty cool.
