Killzone Mercenary Beta [PS Vita]
Anybody else playing the beta? I just got a couple games in.
So far, the controls are way better than CoD: BO - Declassified. Or at least they feel that way. They were a bit stiff at first, but as soon as I changed the sensitivity to a higher setting, it's all good. The action stealth kills, or whatever the fuck they're called, suck. The animation takes forever and you only need to do 2 touch screen swipes. You end up getting killed by somebody else before the animation even finishes, lol. If they speed up the animation and lower the amount of time you have to copy the gestures before the game releases, it would be dope.
The map on the beta is pretty confusing at first but you'll get used to it. The outside part is probably the easiest to the hang of. The inside cave looking area is trickier though.
The menu system is ass imo. It looks good and all, and it works while you're in the main menu but DO NOT try to change your setting during a game. That shit takes forever. You gotta go through like 3 sub-menus just to change your sensitiviy. And it takes like 2 seconds for it to even change to the next sub-menu. On top of that, the menu system is all touch based, so you can easily fat finger the sensitivity. All while your character is vulnerable to enemy fire.
As far as the graphics go, they definitely on point for a handheld.
Game Modes/Objectives:
Body Count - Team Deathmatch.
Bounty Hunter - Kill Confirmed with Valor Cards (look like poker cards).
Hacker - Don't know how the fuck you hack this shit but when you're hacking, you get a screen similar to the last screenshot on this post.
Interrogator - I think you need to do a stealth kill on this one. Not 100% sure, but pretty sure somebody got me a couple times like that, lol.
And no, you don't need to select the piece that completes the middle one. Tried that multiple times, lol. Seems to be random but you gotta get at least 2 (maybe all 6--haven't got it yet, lol) pieces right in a row. Prolly just Google wtf you need to do. Fuck it.
Besides Body Count, none of the other game modes from the previous KZ games are on the beta. And you could only get into Warzone which cycles through the 4 different objectives.
