What are your thoughts on Killzone Mercenary?

So far the beta has been a great time! Its the first Vita multiplayer game that I do not feel like my entertainment is being heldback by the hardware on the Vita...My only problem is some spawns (Always a problem in Beta's but its not even that bad) and the obnixous killstreaks...The controls are very slick and dare I say easier to play then 3...If anyone wants to party up n the beta feel free to add me PSN: Gotsupermilk

I think it's terrible, it has the same floaty feeling Resistance and Call of Duty had.

I'm really liking it, though I'm not quite sure what the valor cards are there for.  Graphics are better than I thought and the gameplay is easy to get used to.  Though, I have no idea how to do the hacking thing, which seems to be a big part of some of the game modes.  It's gonna be tough holding off on getting this (trying not to get any games until the ps4 comes out).  It would also be nice if we could pick up the enemies guns once they die and while not an issue with the game, it seems we have just 1 map for the beta.

Edit: I just lost connection to 2 games in a row, that hopefully won't be a long term issue.

Ehh...not in love with the hacking or valor cards or any of the nonsense (to me) that isn't running and gunning.  The map is also enormous for the amount of players in the game, but again, I know that's a me thing. 

I'll keep playing and see if my opinion improves.

Quick question, do our stats in the beta transfer to the full game or will we have to start over with ranking up and all that?

I Love FPS titles specially for PC since for me KB+Mouse offer the best controls.. having said that I wanted badly a good fps game for PSV considering that Burning Skies was an average game and I wont even comment on COD :(

Imo Killzone:Mercenary is great, I like the shooting mechanics and maps i've seen... I only wish for mp the teams were larger like a 5vs5 or better a 6vs6 :)

I liked the demo beta. The maps didnt feel to constricted, lots of flanking points and it was fast and fun.

Best looking game i have seen on the Vita so far, really really impressed me

Controls are a little weird at first but I'm getting used to it. Still don't know how to counter though.

The matchmaking needs to be improved. I keep getting kicked because of my terrible connection, and I'm thinking, why isn't it connecting me to someone closer? Kind of like how CoD does their matchmaking. Other than that, it's really fun, but it's weird using the tiny analogs. Your precision has to be top notch, to you can't move it too far, or else you'll turn to far.bbkkristian

Agreed, that's my only problem I have with the game. I raised the x and y axis sensitivity and that does help but the aiming still feels kind of weird.

Have a go at the Gyro and tweek it alittle, I heard it helps some people.

I'd imagine there will be a tutorial for this in the single player, but yeah, as of now I have no idea how it works, or how to hack things.

Played the Limited Beta. It was awesome, definitely an true FPS game for the Vita.

I think it is a great portable FPS and maybe the first that can say that. My only problem is spawning and instantly dying to somebody behind me occasionally. SopranosFan

Dam playing a *Sniper* is hard, it makes me wish the Analog sticks were alittle better to get shots juuust right, but dam its too fun to stop. It makes me want to play Killzone on the PS3 again I forgot how much I enjoyed the MP.

its fun but i dont like the hacking.

I really do want a shooter with better visuals than cod but not at the cost of controls. Hopefully they can get it right with socom.p4s2p0

The controls are indeed are alittle *Iffy* in SP im looking forward to blowing Helgast heads off but in MP everyone is sprint running and pinning them down with the Ps Vita's Analog sticks is not the greatest :?

I really like killzone and might buy a vita just to play this game. 

im liking it a lot. def a nice on the go fps. something vita desperatly needed.

i regularly ended matches 38-42/12-15..... so i would have to say it really is not that hard to control. and im not exactly MLG on shooters with a controller either....Geminon

I played the Beta and it's okay but it's not anything groundbreaking which I think people were hoping it would be.

I had more fun with the multiplayer in Black Ops to be honest.

Certainly not going to be a day one/full price purchase for me.
