Killzone 3

[spaceboy]

Oh I didn't realize you wre trying to get in the alloted area. That makes sense.  On Corinth, I was hanging out right where we had just been protecting the search and destroy objective.  We had successfully held that area with very few enemies actually getting near so I thought it would be relatively safe there.  I had a couple teammates guarding me and I was crouched behind a junk pile.  I guess they were less vigilant than they should have been as we were joking around a bit because an infiltrator literally walked right up past one of my protectors and stabbed me for the assassination, then turned around and got him too just as he was opening fire.  Darn infiltrators.

On a side note, I'm not sure if I mentioned here I bought the Sharpshooter attachment for the Move.  I'm quite happy with it but I'm not good enough with it to use it online.  I tried but got hammered.  I've played some botzone, but the most fun is now starting to go through the campaign again with it.  This is where it is a big win.  It's a real neat gaming experience.  The Sharpshooter is also fun with that game The Shoot (a rail shooter).

Congrats on the Sharpshooter  :-X  It interests me, but I don't know I would use it enought to justify the cost - I don't even have the Move!

When you became the target I was sitting on the spawn point in the long building on the north side.  I figured the best way to protect you was to lock down all the spawn points, that way they would have to restart from the other side of the map so it would be a case of kill 'em once and they don't have enough time to reach you for a second try.  I crossed to the south and succesfully captured that spawn point on my first try (with some help from a well placed grenade from one of our engineers), but you went down literally seconds later.  That has been a sound strategy for me on that map in the past, some of your bodyguards just didn't execute their functions very well  :D  ;D

I was hesitant and felt a bit guilty dropping $40 on the Sharpshooter, but now I'm really happy I did.  I'll be testing it with Socom 4 Beta soon...not sure if I'll get that game yet, but I'll at least rent it.

The SS is darn fun with The Shoot and the Time Crisis demo - feels just like your in an arcade with a light gun shooter.  It will also give a whole new experience for another play through of KZ3.

As for Move, I'm really impressed and use it a lot.  As I mentioned before, The Fight Lights Out is an intense workout and alone is enough to justify the Move.  Sports Champions is very well done and lots of fun, now with KZ3 and these light gun uses it really sells itself to me as a worthwhile accessory.  It opens up a lot more experiences.

A funny side note, the games need pick a color for the Move spheres that contrast the color of your room so they can be tracked the best - default for most people is pink, and a 2nd wand coming in with blue.  But KZ3 chooses red, they must have thought guys wouldn't want a pink ball sticking out of the sharpshooter and red looked cooler (still works great of course).  Now if only they could have blue when playing as ISA and red when playing as Helghast - that would be a nice touch!

That would be pretty cool  :-X  Would also help remind you who you're supposed to be shooting!  :-D

We had a good run, I hope we get a chance to do it again soon.  Those teams were very evenly matched, with good "thinking" players on both sides - made for exciting matches.  Plus we came from behind on the Turbine Concourse match, which made the win even more sweet  :-X  I think I only saw you twice in that one, but I spend a lot of time sitting still on that map.  I like to maintain the underground spawn point at all times so I try not to stray too far from it.  The first time I saw you was when you came through that spawn point.  The second was right at the end of the match during bodycount - you had just been downed and I got there just as the guy was going to finish you off.  I blazed him from far off before he got the chance and you survived your bleed-out  :-X

I'm bad with map names, but is that the jetpack one?  I assume so.  I had never done that one before.  Awesome to get to use the jetpacks.   

On Akmir I think it was we were getting mauled going down this hallway where the ISA had setup a turret and had like 4 guys in this little room at the end.  After two deaths I got smart and as I approached I cooked a little present for them - stepped into the hall and chucked a grenade right into the lot of them.  I got 400 points at once!  So damn funny.

Was that early on in the match?  I looked at the standings a few minutes in and you were actually #1 - 400 points early in the game would help with that!  :-X  I was slow to start on that one, couldn't get a toe-hold anywhere at first.  One of the other tacticians captured the central spawn area and from there I branched out an nabbed the south one (near the ISA base) and that's about the time things started to click. 

Oh, and yes, turbine concourse is the one with the jetpacks  :-D
