TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 It seems there's an Open Beta starting tomorrow, and they're even giving away super limited edition copies of the game to random participants. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/02/01/kz3sweepstakes/ Who's in? I'd love to give this a shot, but I dunno if I'll get a chance to hang out with my PS3 this weekend. Gwurr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 It should've been today, god damn it. But I'm definitely in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Oooh sounds good., I'm available Friday onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is the beta only open for that weekend or is that just the only time they're doing prize drawings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm in like Flynn, yo. And I think it really is just this weekend, but I'm not positive. It's just a stress and balance test, after all- they don't want to give people a free game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'll play, I'm not in the U.S. so I'm not interested in the special edition giveaway (closed to U.S. only), but still, sounds interesting, and it could be fun, so yeah, I'm pretty much available everyday Only one small problem, I don't have a PS3 mic yet.

Mal Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Lets do this. However, can't say I played Killzone 1 or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Eff, I can't believe I almost missed this thread! Is the beta only open for that weekend or is that just the only time they're doing prize drawings? The beta itself will be open until the 15th, so almost two weeks. Of course, that was the information a few weeks ago. The prize drawings will occur until the final hours of Sunday, but I can't imagine the delay would cause them to cut the beta to a few days. Well, the beta is only one level and four play modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 If anyone wants to play tomorrow, my PSN name is Dr_McNinja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Alright, I'm thinking something terrible has happened in the beta for me. After a certain rank, you get the Silent Footsteps and Proximity Mines skills. I was able to select them for a match, and after said match I got offline. While still in the beta, I tried going back online and it froze. Perhaps it's based on class, but as an infiltrator, I can only select Armor. I'm far beyond the rank requirement, but I can't use the proximity mines skill! :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 So, do we want to plan an actual meeting of minds here? Some hour at which we will all play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well I'm on now. Just started up. Having to rejig myself to the controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm about to go online Also, my connection has been going all crazy and stuff after a certain point (like, during the afternoon it won't work properly ), so I probably won't be able to play unless it's before 7 or 8 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Also does this game have friendly fire or is that blood spurting out of team mates who get in your way just for show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 4 matches in I've gone from 8th to 2nd place in team and can now buy a shotgun. MUHAHAHAHAHA. MUHAHAHAHAH. But yeah I picked up the controls pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 One good way to find out, Dean... just keep shootin'. Having some weird connection issues... can't seem to get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I had to swap to the "normal" controls but yeah. Get in here! And yep. Some connection issues. Taking forever. Edited February 4, 2011 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Jesus Mary I have never had so much trouble getting into a beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I just got booted off Well general impression is it's fun. I won't be buying the game though, not really concerned with the story and I can get my FPS fill more than adequately on PC. Need to find out how I capture control points. Also I should maybe play more than the TD mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I connected easily last night, at least to the na part of it. It was almost frighteningly fast really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Their servers are swamped, Malicious. A lucky few are slipping through, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Need 50 to win the round. Hell yeah edit: oh n sorry on the lighting and it all being a bit blurry, only had 10 seconds to take the snap. I've changed the light metering now.
