Killzone: Liberation's liberating weapons cache

What else do you kill with in Killzone but GUNS!When it comes to the action-shooter genre, there's one thing we love to look at: GUNS GUNS GUNS! (Are we too forward?). This GameTrailers preview satisfies our appetite for destruction ammunition - okay, and destruction - with its focus on weapons and shooting controls for Guerrilla Games' Killzone: Liberation.

Onto controls first. Square fires, triangle reloads. Circles control grenade throwing, and a handy ballistic path pops up showing where the grenade will land. Circle also controls other explosive devices like mines and C4. X to man turrets and tanks, down on the D-pad to jump out. All in all in our opinion, fair and easy for an isometric shooter like Liberation.

Ah, and guns. There's the standard fare: assault rifles, machine pistols, revolvers, snipers, shotguns, and rocket launchers. And an crossbow that fires explosive-tipped rounds. Oh, this writer agrees with the GT previewer - tons of fun. Bad guy: "Hey, what's this dart sticking out of my body?" BOOM! Dead bad guy. Aside from the two assault rifles and the machine pistol, each weapon can be unlocked by purchase, and by locating hidden objects.

Since you're limited to carrying one weapon at a time, the game allows you to swap them out at supply depots in the game environment. Also, since each weapon is tailor-made for different hostile situations, each supply depot is strategically located so you can swap to the needed gun right before you need it.

Ooh, impaling ticking time bombs into bad guys is more fun than previously thought. This writer is going to be busy doing the Rambo on his fellow QJ staffers. Enjoy the video in the meanwhile. [Screaming and explosions erupt in the background.]

When I playing the demo from the Underground, I had a problem with the controls while I was firing. It seemed hard to fire in one specific direction. As in they were very sticky.



Are ya'll getting any of that?

Oh man, I really hope I can use the Helghast Light Assault Rifle in this. That gun is reaaally awesome.

The only way to bypass that is to crouch (R1) which stops you from moving so you can aim easier.

To #1... yeah i also got the demo in the mail and had the same problem...



my demo review: the game might get a 5/10 at most, but the demo gets a 2/0. biggest problem... controls. its not that its hard to move but aiming and shooting is a pain in the ass, especially when there is more than one enemy or theres a box in the way (your target will lock onto the box instead of the enemy...)
