As noted by Victor Zuylen over at killzone.com, the new features introduced within the 1.10 patch include squad only chat, although this is still an experimental feature so it may not always work as expected, and the ability to play music / audio from your PlayStation 3 during multiplayer matches.

The update has also introduced a number of Marksman improvements including an increase to the cloak rippling effect. Players will also find that the transition from uncloaked to cloaked has now been extended. Meanwhile, the patch has also fixed a number of graphical glitches in multiplayer.

It has also fixed the statistics screen, so players should now find that the progression bars update correctly, as well as an issue where a squad invite would send gamers to the incorrect squad. The update has also fixed a couple of ammo crates that were unreachable from certain sides in The Junkyard map.

You can read about the other fixes, changes and features via the killzone.com link. Are you happy with the changes that have been made?

As Tamoor Hussain over on the computerandvideogames.com website recently reported, the new ‘Steel Rain’ DLC pack – which will be available to download from the PlayStation Store – provides players with two brand new multiplayer maps that have both been inspired by areas within the single player campaign.

The first of these new maps is Junkyard, a Guerrilla Warfare map that sees both Jet-Packs and Exoskeletons battling it out in a rain-drenched trash processing facility. The second new map is Stahl Arms, a Warzone map that takes place in a Helghan weapons manufacturing plant.

According to Bill Hess over at attackofthefanboy.com, it’s only PlayStation 3 owners in Europe that are getting the new ‘Steel Rain’ map pack today. Thos who live in North America unfortunately have to wait until April 12th to start playing the new maps. PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download the pack for free.

Are you looking forward to playing the two new maps?

The patch will make some changes which mean that gamers will enjoy a whole list of gameplay fixes that eliminate the bugs that previously caused a few annoyances in the game. The game should also function better for some online modes and for you glitchers out there that love annoying casual gamers by jumping out of the level, you may find that some areas have been changed such as the Kaznan Jungle tree glitch.

Perhaps the most advantageous of all the changes for gamers are the improvements to the functionality of the online modes.

Similar changes mean that online gameplay should no longer be dysfunctional and should make all Killzone 3 owners a lot happier with their game.

Not only does the upcoming 1.07 patch contain fixes for a number of problems, but according to Envisager over at vissy.co.uk it also provides a feature that many a gamer has been waiting for – Custom Games. However, it appears that this feature will be rolled out in two phases.

The first phase – which is included in the 1.07 patch – will provide players with the option of creating unranked games, with a choice of map, game mode, missions (Warzone only) and mission time (Warzone only), as well as being able to invite squad members / enemy squad leader.

Phase 2 of the Custom Games, which will be rolled out in a future patch, will provide gamers with several options such as turning friendly fire on and off, turning brutal melee on and off, adjusting the kill count for Guerrilla Warfare and configurable abilities, skills, ribbons and weapons.

The 1.07 patch has also fixed a crash that occurred when joining a Guerrilla Warfare Clan match, lowered the increased accuracy ribbon effectiveness, fixed a crash that happened when players joined a Warzone game and added a ‘mute all’ button.

You can read about the other changes via the vissy.co.uk website. Are you happy that the upcoming patch is bringing the Custom Games feature?

One element of the game that appears to have disappointed gamers the most is the multiplayer mode. RayeD_X over at rayedx.blogspot.com has recently provided a list of reasons why he hated Killzone 3’s multiplayer, starting with the fact that the controls have now changed

Another reason RayeD_X doesn’t like the multiplayer mode is the fact that they’ve made the maps bigger, and reduced the amount of players in a match from 32 to 24 to make the KZ3 game more like Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The addition of a matchmaking system is another reason given.

RayeD_X also claims that everyone in the Killzone 3 multiplayer is aiming down their sights from a 2 meter distance, which was only used to hit someone from far away in Killzone 2. RayeD_X described both the new clan system and the multiplayer trophies as a joke.

For example, if players win a match in all three Killzone 3 multiplayer modes they receive a gold trophy, which RayeD_X says is too easy!! Other reasons inlcude the graphics looking cartoonish, the menu looking annoying and the fact that you can’t throw a grenade while running like you could in Killzone 2.

See what other reasons RayeD_X gave for not liking Killzone 3 multiplayer over on the rayedx.blogspot.com website. What are your impressions of the Killzone 3 multiplayer mode? You can read Daniel Chubb’s hands-on review of the Killzone 3 game here.

For the most part Guerilla Games has done a very good job, but there are still a number of features that need to be added to make the game much better. It was our hands-on from earlier today that picked up on one issue, and that was how the characters seemed too predictable, which means that they were limited.

The Game Fanatics has listed 25 missing features that should have been included, and one of those was Weekly Honor Badges. The strange this is, this was in the previous game, so why did the developer decide to remove it? Clan Messaging is yet another feature that has been removed, which means that you can no longer keep in contact with your clan mates.

Knowing what missing feature is wanted the most is very tough, but at a guess we would have to say 3D theater mode. Hang on or would it be Spawn on squad leader, or maybe Proximity Chat? See what we mean, it is so hard to decide what is missing the most.

If you had to choose the one feature that you could have in Killzone 3, what would it be and why?

According to EDIDDY999 at The PlayStation Show, Killzone 3 is less than perfect and has listed 5 changes that they wish to see immediately in order for it to be perfected.

For starters they do not believe Guerrilla Games put all their heart into developing the inclusion of Move support for the game so thinks it should be removed straight away. That leads us to the second point that is made about 3D integration being developed for Killzone 3 and how it does nothing for the game.

They believe that the money used to develop features such as these two could have been used for more important issues, like the lack of Operations Maps, which was something else in the list. The other two things they say need changing are the assault rifle to be removed off marksmen class and officers to be appointed by clan leaders. You can read what else was written in the article at The PlayStation Show. Do you agree with these improvements? What else do you think if anything could be improved? Let us know below.

It looks like that has changed now however with the recent posting of the UK game charts forcing its popularity to be questioned. According to the chart at VG24/7 Killzone 3 is now top, overtaking Black Ops and even beating Bulletstorm to the spot.

The chart represents the full top ten games sales for the week ending February 26th. It shows Black Ops sitting at 3rd place with Bulletstorm above it in 2nd. Killzone 3 takes the throne despite the first-week sales not being as successful as the release of its predecessor Killzone 2.

Has Killzone 3 overtaken the popularity Call Of Duty: Black Ops? Do you think it will stay top for long or will the popularity of the Call Of Duty franchise allow Black Ops to regain its top spot? Let us know your thoughts.

It doesn’t matter if you use these videos for a certain gap in your campaign or just to trawl through each chapter with guidance, the videos are detailed and offer live gameplay help which enable you to copy the actions on-screen to get see the right way to complete a chapter.

The videos are especially handy for the gamers who like to be boastfull about their game’s progress and trophy record. There should not be any gaps in your game as these videos cover all nine chapters which means you should be able to progress through the game with ease.

For some people it will be a case of frequent reference to these videos and other gamers may choose differently in order to take on the challenge of the campaign. Do you think the walkthrough’s will help you or will they ruin the game?

According to GameInformer you can download the 3D and non-3D versions of the game from quite a few torrent sites, the standard version of the game is a 22.3GB download, whereas the 3D version is a whopping 41.40GB in size.

Obviously we do not condone piracy and have to warn you that Sony may take some sort of action against those of you who play the leaked version of the game, instead you should wait until the games official release date on February 22nd (North America), 23rd (Europe) 25th (UK).

Comments on a certain well known torrent site suggest that the leaked version of the game works fine and can be burned to Blu-ray or played from the PS3′s internal hardrive (obviously if it has been modded), however if you are using Multiman 1.15.04 you may experience problems with sound, cutscenes, load times and stuttering.

We would strongly advise against downloading the game and wait until the game’s proper release, if not you are breaking the law and possibly playing an unfinished version of the game, which could be less impressive than the Guerrilla Games’ final product.

Will you download Killzone 3?
