4.40 am in the morning, I'm still playing the beta. Too addictive. Have to stop coz working in a few hours.



Encountered error twice just now. But both times, I still can relogin and play.


I still can't believe this is possible on handheld, it's like playing KZ3 portable. Crispy textures, lighting, motion blur, reflection, detail map, etc.

The Warzone mode however, is a bit different compared to KZ2/KZ3. Very unique mode; I guess it's suitable for handheld, although I'm much prefer the old-school S&R, S&D, C&H, Assassination mode.

I lost count already. LoL luckily, can get in back quite fast. Short loading time, almost zero time for respawn. Love this game.

Lost quite alot of money today due to error.

WooTz

Update 1.01 for beta out already. I'm able to play 10 matches straight without any error.

Don't miss out Public Open Beta; most probably on 21st August onwards.

Yeah, have to reinstall. Everything starts from zero again.

Loving the new update, so far no disconnection or lag at all.

Beta email with voucher code is rolling out NOW. Check your email if you're PS Plus subscriber:

You can't redeem the code at the moment, only after Aug 20th. You can refer to my screenshot above for details.

No need to register. If you have both PS Plus and Vita, you should get the invite. Probably they're sending by batches.


I thought you used your Vita as door stopper?

Probably not .From past experience in KZ beta, all stats will be reset once full game released.

Oo, from closed? Nope, it will be reset also. And, I have to redownload the beta coz the open beta is different build.

If no reset, then I'm sure peeps from closed beta will spam Vanguard. Not balance already.

It's like COD care package. Vanguard containers drop on occasion. They are like random care packages that anyone can try to open. Most of the time you just need to hold Triangle, others you need to complete a hacking mini game.

If you save up Valor you can purchase a vanguard as an item.

Yeah, in WARZONE - HACKING mode. A few Vanguard will drop, and you need to complete the mini game to gain vanguard and points.

But, for the rest of the Warzone match, you just need to press Triangle only.

Killzone: Mercenary open beta will go live for PS Plus subscribers tomorrow.

Checkout the following video for Van-Guard guide and information:

• Mantys Engine: The Mantys Engine is a remote controlled, covert killing machine. Lightly armored, but deadly, this small device has free flight capabilities.
• Porcupine: The Porcupine is a shoulder mounted homing missile system. Lock on, fire and forget.
• Sky Fury: Death from above. Decimate enemy forces from orbit with a series of high-precision particle beam blasts.
• Arc Missile: Dual function can operate as an escort or be fired in the direction of facing. Discharges incapacitating, Arc electricity at targets within range.
• Ghost: Personal stealth camouflage system that effectively cloaks the operator not engaged in combat.
• Vultur: Aerial drone that scans the battlefield and pinpoints the location of enemy targets and equipment on your HUD and radar.
• X3-JMR: Deployable electronics jammer. Disables the enemy's comms and equipment, preventing them from calling for support.
• Carapace: Protective shield that absorbs damage from virtually any basic weapon for a short period of time. Deactivates when returning fire.

Killzone Mercenary open beta is up on PSN. If you have a code, redeem now!

Yeah, next Tuesday it will be open for everyone.

This open beta includes new map called 'Shoreline'. Totally different map; not in closed beta.

Seems like my online stats from closed beta still exist in open beta - not reset. But my loadout all start from zero again.



A few more screenies:

Yeah for US account. Not sure why, coz I also got another code from my UK email account, but can't redeem on UK account; only US account accept it.
