WTH, I wrote out my whole post and now it's gone because I added a poll..

Oh well, in short it said; "I love the Killzone 2 sniper, it's awesome, the motion controlled stability is great! Also the control mechanic behind KZ2 is sweet, people need to quit complaining and get used to it"

Done.

Nay for me.  There is just something about the controls I don't like.  Don't get me wrong the game kicks ass.

yeah i cant stand the controls...game is average to me
feels like im fighting with controls when i play...
Megadeth!!!!

What's wrong with the controls?  This game is perfect X 999,999,999.

Anyway, the Scout is badass... especially with the Cloak/Spot/Mark/Scope Medals, it = pwnage X 999,999,999.

I find the controls to be perfectly fine. 

Nobody seems to actually have a problem witht he controls or have a valid point against them (or very few people do) - i said it in another thread and *sigh* i'll say it again

There are 2 types of people in the world

Those that understand a game is developed in a certain way and that the controls are set to different configs for a reason

and

Those who want to play call of duty 4...

The only problem people have with the controls are that they think because they could run around getting headshot after headshot in Resistance and CoD they can't understand why they can't in Killzone. So it "must be the game".

I've been on these boards and ASKED for help in multiplayer because I get my ass kicked. I could have blamed the controls but I know they're not the problem. It's me. Me not being good enough at the game.

And I'd hazard that's the same with most people.

No aim assist and guns that don't feel like water pistols = "I only got 2 kills that match......... THE CONTROLS SUCK!"

I appreciate that when coming from another shooter there is a settling in period with Killzone, but there is nothing wrong with the controls. And actually, to be honest, I'm kind of sick of talking about it.

I personally love the aiming in this game. It took me a bit to get used to, but I really enjoy the weight that everything has.

Edit: And yeah, I love the use of sixaxis on the sniper rifle. A lot of times, it's faster than actually using the stick to move your crosshair. If I have a shot lined up and the split second before I fire the guy moves slightly to the right - I use the sixaxis to move my sight rather than the stick.

I LOVE THE FEEL OF THE CONTROLS!!!!!!!!!  end of story.

My one problem with the controls is that zoom is R3. When I'm playing multiplayer I tend to tense up and click it accidently which messes me up in close quarters shootouts.

I don't have a problem with the weighty feel, I do however have a problem with the 5 frame controller lag. There is really no excuse for that, and it makes it a pain to play sometimes.

Best sixaxis control use I've seen, and I absolutely love the prospect of "So you're a sniper huh?  Well you're gonna stand still then.  Deal with it."

I think the game is awesome, but I do find myself wrestling with the controls.  I wish the buttons could be fully maped to any config, that would be nice.  I think I also just prefer the xbox controller for shooters, and live.  All my friends are on live and headsets are common. 

Well I find it an awesome game, I brang it to my friends house and played on a standard t.v and wow the difference in the controls is crazy, it feels like it was meant to be played on a standard t.v, try it.

BTW, Love your display picture, MEGADETH!!!1!!111!!

Controls are fine,the weight feeling is cool.

The sniper is crap. I could headshot you from across the map just as easily with my rifle.

"The sniper is crap. I could headshot you from across the map just as easily with my rifle."

Nay, with a little yay. I like the six axis touch, but I dont like the aiming in general. Its hard to hit guys that arent stuck in a fixed position. Usually if I try and snipe dudes that are running between cover they move before I can get a good fix on them.

I don't see why you'd want to use a snipe over the assault rifle...

i love the controls to me there great.

The Assault Rifle IS a freaking sniper.

The sniper is too sensitive. The crosshair just moves way too much. But I rarely use it in multiplayer anyways. It's great for single player though.

Well logged more then 24 hours in MP and I played the scout today and I have no problems with the sniper. I think it's cool when a grenade is going of the vibrations in the controller make it hard to aim. The only problem is turning speed in my eyes.

So I just beat KZ: 2 and honestly, I don't know what the big fuss is about. The controls took me a bit to get used to, but after I did, it's just like any other shooter. My only gripe is that I couldn't make the Zoom L2, but it's cool, I think I'm using the Alternate 2 button layout, with the zoom on L1 and the fire on R1. The SIXAXIS on the sniper, is pretty damn cool, I've only  played a few online games, but I'm looking forward to unlocking scout.

why use a sniper rifle when the ISA's gun is just as good?

Honestly i find it funny when a sniper is trying to shoot me at times as all i must do it move around a little and burst fire, and they either get killed or end up running away...

Plus in some maps snipig is useless as its so easy to get up behind them, then all you must do is wait and the sniper will come back thinking you have left, this always happens and I stay till they learn their lesson and stop using that sniping point =P

I personally dont like snipers in killzone 2, its a game where everything is weighty and in some maps like the desert one they make crossing bridges hell. And its not really that skillful either, at that range nothing will ever kill you, Its not too different from being a camper. It just feels so cowardly...

Which is why if we have sniper problems i always love to see if I can sneak past everyone and get to them, then Ill kill them off, and keep doing so until they realise Im not gonna let them snipe, and they choose a real weapon and get right in the action.

And at the end of the day, KZ2 was made for being right up close at choke points with grenades going everywhere, being in the middle of the chaos is the best place to be and do it right and you will get more kills than any sniper, its soo much more fun.

So yeah, give up sniping lol. be a man and get right into the battle. =D
