anyone finding killzone 3's campaign to be difficult??

I'm playing on the normal mode and I'm dying countless times.. I'm at the end of the "six months later" chapter and i'm stuck at the helghast camp, and the exoskeletons are coming at me on top of helghast soldiers, and there's barely ANYthing to hide behind.. i also have a helghast assault rifle, but i'm just completely stumped here, can't get past it.

and yeah i've read strategy guides, but all they do is tell you what's happening in the game... gamespot's "guide" is incredibly worthless. any advice would be great.

Oh god, it gets worse... I might just say screw the campaign, the multiplayer is fun as it is. I can't handle cheaply difficult games, I just don't have the patience, haha

If its anything like 2 then I'm sure its pretty tough. I will never forget Visari's palace. Never. MrSelf-Destruct

Playing on normal is probably harder than most other (shooters) on normal. I was thinking that as I was playing. With all the checkpoitns and whatnot it's hard to call any of these shooter games hard anymore. I died plenty of times compared to say... Black Ops.But it wasn't *THAT* bad. There really shouldn't be anywhere you get stuck more than 3 or 4 consecutive deaths on normal difficulty.

BTW people are saying the Elite difficulty is signifanctly EASIER than in Killzone 2.

yeah its pretty tough on normal. I was stuck a few times on the stealth missions :P

The normal difficulty can catch you by suprise if you don't mind your cover. Try advancing slower than you normaly would, focus on staying behind cover when your health is low and utilize timed grenade throws when enemies won't move from their cover positions. I'm halfway through the game (second playthrough) on Elite difficulty and those are some key tactics to use. Don't worry, just keep at it and you'll find your groove in no time!

omg dude. once i got to the part where i had to defend the isa base i died like a dozen times and now with the jetpack chapter i die all the time. i played killzone 2 and that was one of the toughest games. i knew kz3 would be tough but jeez. i am only on normal and i keep getting raped in some parts. i plan on playing this with the move attachment and i only hope its easier. killzone 2 was one of my favorite games of the gen, and i loved conquering elite difficulty, but i dont know if im up for it again for killzone 3.... then again, im glad theres some games out there that really test my skills.DangerHiVoltage

Kilzone 3's elite difficulty is waaaaaaay easier then 2's. I actually had to look up a strategy on youtube for visari's palace on elite. I noticed that I died the least playing on elite (not counting the VERY last part which was BS) because I had played through on normal and hard first

Killzone 3 is extremely easy compared to KZ2. The only annoying thing is the terrible checkpoints. And sometimes it seems like you reached a checkpoint, quit the game, only to come back to find out you have to redo a portion of the mission again.

I don't know, KZ2 was actually legitimately hard, as in you learn from your mistake,s develop strategies, and get better after every death, KZ3 (from OP, I haven't played it yet) sounds more cheap.

I think it is a little easier than Killzone 2 but that is just my opinion I love the sp campaign it is awesome. :):)

I find the grenade spam to be stupid, but everything else is fine.Blackjack9288

Yeah, I agree. Definitely reminescent of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. :P

Man you have to try harder...I am by no means a great FPS player and I got through it, even with a lot of deaths. My main problem was thinking I was invincible and running into the open without cover and trying to kill stuff...it never works. You need to hide and when you get hurt, make sure you heal up before you pop out again. All guns in this game are good, unless you're using a shotty and trying to shoot far. Just be accurate with your shots, dont hold down the trigger, keep tapping it.

Dont skip the campaign, it is by far the funniest part of the game for me.

KZ3 is easier than KZ2 by a mile...Its still not EASY but KZ2 was ridiculous...especially the palace and Radec. I probably died 50-100 times.

I just beat the campiagn today on normal. I agree it is quite challenging at times under the normal difficulty. Outside of some cheap spam deaths, I never really found the difficulty cheap, you just have to use cover. "Running and Gunning" and "Spraying and Praying" don't work in this game after the first set of missions.

The last mission in the game was pretty challenging, I died quite a few times, but I got through it thankfully. I don't mind a little challenge in games these days. Most FPS games these days you can beat the single player mode on normal without breaking a sweat.

Take it to the Killzone 3 thread, please. Thanks.
