The latest update fixed and added a load of new stuff but the best feature is the new 'High Precision' mode.

This can be toggled on and on in the options menu and what it does is completely change the aiming control.

A lot of people were put off this game or have stopped playing it because of the heavy, accelerating aiming with the right stick.

The aiming with Precision Mode turned on is much more sensitive to little movements and a lot more stable. More similar to the aiming of COD4 for example.

Although I got used to the old aiming, putting Precision Mode on made it so much more comfortable and easy. Head-shot city!

So if you passed or gave up on this game, give it a try. The precision mode now comes as default with new games.

Now that the controls have been perfected, it can be enjoyed by many more people as the explosive and technically brilliant PS3 exclusive it is.

I didnt mind the controls before the update. But I suppose this "precision" aiming stuff is a good excuse to pick up Killzone 2 again...

All the update did was remove the massive deadzone. I don't know why on earth it was there in the first place.

Killzone 2 is still on the back end of FPS's that id rather play.

Graphics are way overrated.. the lack of colour is scarce too much use of motion blurr are my main issues.

Online is pretty good but is hamperd by design choices like 24+ people on a map that shouldnt have more then 16 people and severe FPS lag with alot of action on screen hampering ur ability to aim.

I can't stand how they keep tweeking the controller to apeal to COD4 fans. It really pisses me off. The controls were good before the patch, just quite crying and learn the controls.

What are you talking about...? Everything you say is the opposite of what is true...There's only one map that's sort of small for maximum players. Graphics are sensational, since when were SERIOUS FPS games colorful(aside from maybe TF2)? There's only a lot of action hampering your aiming WHEN YOU SPAWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIRE FIGHT, now that you don't have any spawn grace periods, I'm hoping people will stop spawning in stupid areas.

I bought the game, but I haven't played it since release.

I'll have to give it a try now, because the accelerated crosshair is the one reason I stopped playing.

Try running with full gear on IBA, ACH, Weapon in hand. Don't try to argue that with me I'm a medic in the army. I weigh 165, when I put my gear on I went to the scale, I weighed a whopping 245 pounds. Point is that they are trying to make the game more realistic..

Whats your psn id? I bet the most you played prior to the patch was maybe 2 hours if that. The new controls are like night and day my friend, its super easy now to track someone with the scope now, and turning on a dime is isn't something you did prior to the patch. Matter afact I've used my scope now prolly more since the patch than the 100hours I've played prior to it. If your judging off of the demo thats on the store still I'm not for sure if it was also updated prolly not. But I do know that all of the prior patches was for MP only while 1.27 is definitly for the entire game, SP and MP. But if you think the patch didn't do anything well then your mind is made up and you didn't play enough prior to the patch to even remotely have any idea what the game felt like to compare after the patch. People its night and day thats all I'm going to say. Actually I like the unique feel it had prior to the patch. Also since the patch I've reduced my look speeds quite a bit to compensate for the new aiming mode. Before I really couldn't turn it up high enough lol, if that tells you anything :)

u kiddin me? the devs said that they could of put it there but they didnt cuz it was meant to be a single play experience. in single play since sev splits up quiet a few times from his buddies i dont see how co-op would work when he was meant to be alone at certain levels. now the online part well, the only game i know of is resistance that has the co-op not even call of duty had it

I adapted to the weighted controls and continued to play it like that, but I'd much rather play with what I've been using for years until now. :)

I'm not kidding, I thought the devs said that. If that's the case, it's stupid. I would love to play split-screen.

Most of the KZ2 backlash is gross over-reaction. Its a game that is worth at least a look by those who haven't tried it. Not perfect, but not the disaster some people are making it out to be.

I actually hate this new patch so much. I had a 1.65 K/D spread before this patch and it's already dropped to 1.6 in 2 days play. It's brought the skilled players with the old controls and the noob CoD fanboys to equal terms. If you can't play properly, don't make the good players suffer for it. And as your Head-shot city comment proves, it makes things for the CoD noobs way too easy. So yea, if you're a CoD noob, you're gonna love the new controls. If you're a good Killzone player, I feel your pain. What's even worse about this patch is the new spawn nades with no safe-time. I'm all for evening up the fact that spawn camping and not being killed is unfair, but now you spawn and you're dead again from campers before you even see your surroundings. they shoulda kept the safe-time and prevented players spawners from firing in their safe time. Love the new sentry bots, and this is my first EVER complaint from GG's. They've done a great job with everything else, bar this.

no, its that kz2 fanboys just can't get over the fact other people have opinions. off course cod4 isn't perfect, but cod4 is faster paced....i don't like camping much, and i find that with every map i go to in warzone, campers tend to do a lot better than people who run n gun. Neither game is realistic imo....but its just people have preferences, i prefer cod4, though kz2 is great

I don't understand that way of thinking. This precision mode is optional, right? So if the controls were good before the patch just leave it turned off.

Emmm you obviously have no clue what they did too the controls because all they did was remove the "DeadZone" on the right analog stick meaning you now only have too move the stick 5% to get a response from ur crosshair on screen as opposed to 25% befor.

[QUOTE="campzor"][QUOTE="irish4eva"] Options>>>>High precision box>>>>tickGreyFoXX4
im aware of that.. im pretty sure when i said 'tried precision and it still felt the same' kinda gave it away.. ot does didly squat

Whats your psn id? I bet the most you played prior to the patch was maybe 2 hours if that. The new controls are like night and day my friend, its super easy now to track someone with the scope now, and turning on a dime is isn't something you did prior to the patch. Matter afact I've used my scope now prolly more since the patch than the 100hours I've played prior to it. If your judging off of the demo thats on the store still I'm not for sure if it was also updated prolly not. But I do know that all of the prior patches was for MP only while 1.27 is definitly for the entire game, SP and MP. But if you think the patch didn't do anything well then your mind is made up and you didn't play enough prior to the patch to even remotely have any idea what the game felt like to compare after the patch. People its night and day thats all I'm going to say. Actually I like the unique feel it had prior to the patch. Also since the patch I've reduced my look speeds quite a bit to compensate for the new aiming mode. Before I really couldn't turn it up high enough lol, if that tells you anything :)

I have the game and ive had it since launched and ive put more then 2 hours into it.. and i KNOW how the controls felt ... for ME there is no change Psn in my sig if u dont believe me (HairStylr)
