Patch 1.12 Incoming!

[Ginrai]

On Tuesday, September 6, Guerrilla will release patch 1.12 for Killzone 3. This patch introduces several community-requested changes to Killzone 3, including an adjustment to the Marksman’s scramble ability, better turrets for the Engineer, and an option to switch off Sixaxis-only actions for players with disabilities.

Here is the full list of changes included with patch 1.12:

CAREERS:

• Changed Marksman’s scramble ability into an active ability – The marksman scramble ability now needs to be activated and deactivated via the d-pad, and has a cooldown period.
• Increased tracking response for engineer turrets – The turn speed of turrets has been increased, allowing them to track players more easily.
• Increased armor for engineer turrets (30%) - Turrets can still be destroyed by a single explosion from a grenade or missile launcher.

WEAPONS:

• Improved StA-2 Battle Pistol - Detonation time for the StA-2 Battle Pistol’s grenade is shorter, and the damage it deals is more severe.

MAPS:

• Added realtime projector to MP15 Radec Academy  – A realtime projector has been added to the theater room, projecting onto the large wall with two doors.

SOUND:

• Toned down overly enthusiastic death screams – Aieeeeaaargh!

MATCHES:

• Increased mission points in Warzone – There is more of an incentive to go after mission objectives now.
• Doubled cooldown time on mortars – Cooldown time was increased from 30 to 60 seconds to avoid spamming the Search & Destroy mission area.
• Fixed tournaments not ending as soon as one clan leaves.
• Fixed clans being able to rejoin games that were already finished – Clans used these exploits to boost their game wins and climb the leaderboards.
• Reduced wait time at end of the round – The wait time was brought down from 60 to 45 seconds.
• Reduced pre-game wait time at end of the round – The wait time was brought down from 30 to 20 seconds.

INTERFACE:

• Added menu option to disable Sixaxis-only actions – Sixaxis-only actions can now be switched off in the menu, so players only have to press ‘O’ to start an action. This will make Killzone 3 more accessible to disabled players.
• Added map name to spawn screen – The map name can be seen in the top left, under the titles.

Enjoy,

Ginrai

A decent patch but unfortunately far too late for most people.

Excellent patch, really pleasing list of fixes. If only this had come out 2 or 3 months ago!

Good job GG!! But can you PLEASE tell when you will fix the squad chat? If there are more of 4 members in your team the voice chat suddenly works really really bad. Can you fix it??

I hope this means that until the Marksman activates Scramble, he is visible on radar.
