Killzone 2 Controls

[Ravinak]

Just got KZ2 yesterday, very excited. Played for a few hours on single player because the servers were down.

Anyway, I was just wondering what control scheme everyone is going to use. Initially, I found Alt2 to be the most natural one with the L1 as aim - until I had to start using cover. To go into cover, I have to hold the L2 button, to shoot I have to hold the left stick up, then I have to hold L1 to aim (I set it to zoom hold), and it just felt... very awkard to say the least.

I have searched around the internet and some people have suggested just sticking to the Standard1 controls and just get use to the new button for aim. So for those who have it now, or played the demo, what are your thoughts?

I can't imagine why they didn't just make the entire control setup utterly editable. Different schemes are alright, but surely complete freedom means everyone will be happy?

If they didn't it would be really stupid.

They didn't, now I hope enough people will complain and eventually a patch will come out for custom controls! In the mean time I think I will just keep trying out the different control schemes.

ITT: people whine because this shooter isn't generic enough, it needs a feature to make the controls just like every other shooter.

Just play and get used to it.

This is by no means a lousy product, it is a fantastic game. However I do think it will take a little time to get comfortable with their controls.

You can have that, I think it is Alternate1.

I think used Alternate 3 when I played the demo. It was basically the same controls as CoD:WaW.

Alt 2 was the COD controls, which I thought were perfect for the game, it felt natural to me.

Yeah, it's what I'm used to from Resistance 2 and CoD:WaW, and pretty much all the games I have. They're the best controls by far for the FPS genre. At least in my opinion.

Yeah I also think that it feels the most natural to me, but the problem here is that it doesn't feel right using it with the cover system. Then again, I've only played about 2 hours worth of the game, so maybe it'll grow on to me.

Proably not going to play this until I wake up tommorow, but I liked using the Standard and Alt 2 in the demo. Very fluid.
