The Killzone 3 hype train continues on today, and with awesome videos like this surfacing, I’m more than happy to keep fanning the flames. The offering below shows you over 3 minutes of multiplayer gameplay from the ‘Bilgarsk Boulevard’ map and appears to be focusing on some of the in-game rewards you can earn. It looks like these ‘ribbons’ work kind of like killstreak rewards, but it doesn’t seem like you always have to be on a streak to earn them. They offer all kinds of benefits ranging from silent footsteps to faster reloading and aiming.
I know a lot of people have spoken out about how killstreaks naturally make the game unbalanced by enhancing players that are already doing well, so it’s nice to see Guerrilla going in a little different direction. These benefits are more about small personal gains rather than huge air strikes and game-ending tactual nukes. It’s going to be interesting to see how well it plays once the final game is in everyone’s hands.
Don’t forget that the Killzone 3 open beta is starting back up on February 3.

I am officially at “can’t wait” status for this game. There is so much going on in the match and the graphics, even for multiplayer, are stellar. Pre-ordered and shaking with anticipation.

I really hated the controls in KZ2… But I still own it, and I’m probably going to get KZ3 too. The eye candy.. Such a beautiful[ly detailed] game. :)

I’m guessing it was the slower movement you’re refering too? There’s a number of control-schemes available in the options, I’m using an alternate one that’s a bit more like the MW2 controls (aim on L1, among other things, feels more natural too me), to keep me from being as confused when I swap between them.

I know it will be a day one for me – there’s no point trying to resist…

Am I seeing right? Red versus green? Surely they must go through some quality control for these games, QC which looks at issues like epilepsy, colour blindness… Red-Green colour blindness is one of the most common forms. Could they not think about yellow versus blue?
This is a shame as the game looks great but I’ll really struggle to differentiate teams and in this sort of game fractions of seconds matter.

i wonder how these people drive

looks good, the blue tracking icons on the opponents seems to make it easier for people like me, but i think it would be better as a ‘lose’ streak… give the lesser players a little help to keep the match competitive

It’s an ability of the tactician class, each class has dif abilities, for me it’s all about the engineer :)
bajere
ah i see, so they are keeping that feature from KZ2. thats better then, at least it will balance it out a little
BLAGGER
Yeah it works out very nicely :)

Does anyone know if this is a new Beta download or can I just use the one from the + subscription?

When you say the beta is coming back up, is that still just for P+ subscribers or for everyone on PSN?
I don’t have it and would love to get some practice in before the game releases.

A good game of bodycount on Killzone 2 always made you feel that you were fighting in a proper large-scale battle.
