Killzone 2 controls... Mediocre?

Hmm, well I guess I never thought about it then... I do find aiming more difficult in this game than in COD4 and I do have a harder time getting kills than I did in that game, but some games click with me and others don't. I couldn't get kills to save my life in Gears of War for 360, but other people could so I figured it was me... I do alright, if not great, in this game but other people out there are getting insane amounts of kills so I figured, again, it might just be me. That maybe this game just isn't as good a fit for me as COD4 or Rainbow Six Vegas or Halo 3 were.

Next time I throw the game in, I'll have to look at this, though... because now when I don't do so well I can blame the controls like everyone else does!

If you don't like the controls change them to alternate 2

Oh I see what you are talking about. After the patch I found in game responsivness to be fine, just some problems on the menus.

There fine. Just play for more than 5 minutes.

[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]I think they're fine. As long as you have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs the controls really shouldn't be that difficult.Doolz2024

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"][QUOTE="thelastguy"] no its not the control layout that bothers me. i use the default scheme. the problem is the lack of responsiveness when you press a button, or move the analog sticks. the input lag simply keeps me from thoroughly enjoying this game, and believe it or not i think its a good game, but the unresponsive controls are what ultimately keep the game from being great. my understanding is that GG wanted the game to have a "weighty" heavy feel to it, which is supposed to be realistic. why worry about that, it's just a game. they should've worried less about realism, and more about responsive controls. i dont know about everyone else but i'll take perfect, responsive controls like cod4 and WaW have anytime over a supposedly more realistic experience.thelastguy

yea i didnt really like the default controls i probably could have gotten use too them but i love the 2nd control layout

[QUOTE="philip6k"][QUOTE="Doolz2024"] some work? they need to be completely redone, as they are very flawed imo. when aiming at a target becomes a hassle, you know something's wrong. oh, and input lag doesn't help things either.Doolz2024

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"][QUOTE="mjk_1"]I think they make it unique, I like the weighted feel and no auto aim... However, I wish the melee were faster and more like (dear god, am I about to say this?) Halo. Sensitivity can be adjusted.navstar29

the controls are aight for KZ2.

but the best controls for FPS so far are COD4.

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"][QUOTE="philip6k"] turn up the sensitivity2beers_in_hand

[QUOTE="2beers_in_hand"]

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"] doesn't help. talk to most anyone that hates kz2's controls and they'll tell you it doesn't help.Doolz2024

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"][QUOTE="2beers_in_hand"] Thats because they are spoiled by Call Of Noobie. The biggest problem most people have in not allowing themselves to adjust to the differences in controls. They automatically get mad at KZ2 because they cant own anybody right off the bat.

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"]call of duty's controls are the best controls I think of any FPS. KZ2's could be, but as I've said throughout this thread, the unresponsiveness of them just kills the experience.Doolz2024

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"][QUOTE="mjk400"] How are they unresponsive? I played 80 hours of the game and not once did they feel unresponsive.

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"]there is no way you can go from playing cod4 or waw, then go to playing kz2 and honestly say the controls are just as responsive and that there is no input lag. No other FPS i can think of suffers from the same type of input lag that KZ2 has. that's what I mean when I say unresponsive controls....because they are. Doolz2024

I understand opinion and all, but this a little pathetic. I'm a fan of Killzone, but there is input lag. In CoD4 (as an example, since everyone is comparing KZ2 to it), as soon as I tilt the stick, even slightly, my character on screen begins to aim in that direction. In KZ2, there is a LAG, a split second of none-responsiveness where it's like he's hesitating to aim in that direction. It is very apparent and obvious. The first thing I noticed when I popped in this game (besides the amazing opening video) was the graphics, and then as soon as I begin playing I noticed this lag, this tiny little gap where nothing happens when I aim. It doesn't seem like much, but it really is annoying. Sometimes it just really throws me off. And no, no amount of extra minutes will get rid of this input lag. I've put my hours into the game, and again, I LOVE IT. But this lag is just terrible. However, the only reason why I'm even going off about this here is because fan boys want to just plain out deny its existence. I think KZ2 would be nearly perfect game, if this little input lag business was put to rest and eliminated.

Don't deny FACT, it's not an opinion or something to even argue. It's there. You can learn to deal with it, but it doesn't make it go away. BTW I'm not complaining cuz I suck online, because I don't. I'm decent. But don't deny what is true and obvious just to make yourself seem better at a game.

This is such an annoying topic. Some people think the controls are ruined, others are willing to accept the changes and live with it. Personally, I love the controls, but people need to realize that we all have different opinions and making constant threads about the subject isn't going to make the controls "better".Tikicobra
