  • The classes are: Marksmen, Infiltrator, Field Support, Tactician, and Engineer.

Playstation Move

 

 

Killlzone 3 is a blast with the Playstation Move. In case some of you are on the fence regarding this thing, my advice would be to buy it just for this game. Yes! the Move implementation in Kllzone 3 is that good.

 

The learning curve is slightly on the higher side, although with a bit of practice, you will be able to own the DS3 users in no time. You need to buy a PS move starter pack if you are interested in Move.

  •  
  • Includes one PlayStation Move motion controller, one PlayStation Eye camera and a Blu-ray Disc sampler featuring nine dynamic demos.

  • Become part of the action in a completely new way to play on PlayStation 3.

Brutal Melee

 

One new feature added to Killzone 3 is the brutal melee system. Guerrilla Games have presented this in such a way that its incredibly satisfying to get Brutal Melee kills. If you are using an alternate 2 control system, R3 is the button to press when close to an opponent. If you do it correct, you should end up with a smirk on your face.

 

The new ‘Brutal Melee System’ in Killzone 3 takes close-quarters combat to a whole new level. It allows players to execute fluid, context-sensitive close-quarters combos (consisting of kicks, punches and stabs) on an opponent using well-timed button presses.”

Controls

Many people were not satisfied with Killzone 2 controls, they will be pleased to hear that the controls have been made much responsive in Killzone 3.

 

Whether they loved the original Killzone 2 control scheme or felt that it was too ‘weighty’, most beta participants seem to agree on one thing: the Killzone 3 control scheme gets the balance just right.

 


  •  
  • The brutal melee system, which allows players to neutralize their opponents in a myriad of up-close-and-gory ways;
  • The slide-to-cover mechanic, which allows for free-form sliding so players can use it to dodge enemy fire;
  • The addition of a third weapon slot, reserved specifically for heavy-duty weapons like the Minigun and the W.A.S.P. Launcher.

Killzone 3 Retro Map packs

 

Ever find yourself longing for the good old days of 2359, when the invasion of Helghan had just gotten underway and you were fighting a desperate bloody battle over every inch of its capital city? That’s perfectly understandable – why, we all do sometimes. But now there’s the Retro Pack, a Killzone 3 map pack that lets you relive those glorious multiplayer battles in the market streets and canals of Pyrrhus!

 

 

These are the two maps included with the Retro Pack:

 

SALAMUN MARKET

 

Game Type: Warzone (24 Players)

Description:

 

One of the largest maps from Killzone 2, Salamun Market has been re-balanced for maximum Killzone 3 carnage. After the Helghast ambush an ISA convoy on its main road, the whole market becomes a Warzone. Nostalgia meets brand-new Exoskeleton combat on this classic multiplayer map!

BLOOD GRACHT

Months after the nuclear blast that ruined most of the city, Blood Gracht is slowly being reclaimed by Helghan’s strange plant life. But when Guerrilla Warfare breaks out between ISA and Helghast troops, the canals once again run red with blood. The fan-favorite multiplayer map from Killzone 2 makes a triumphant return!
