Domination splits the teams into 4ths and puts each group at each side of the map. 256 players divided by 4 is 64 players. Thus, there are 64 players, 32 players on each team, attacking and defending on each side of the map fighting to control 2 objectives until they open the final objectives. However, once the sides push into the center, they're not exactly restricted to their 2 objectives, but the defenders have more leeway as they spawn right in the center and can go wherever they need to.

First, the headset isn't mandatory and that website claiming it will be a requirement is false. It is however very helpful to have one when you get people who want to work together and coordinate their efforts to win a battle. That doesn't mean you HAVE to have one and you can help our your team well enough by knowing what you're doing and helping the people who are coordinating to get stuff done.

Second, I'm usually silent when I wear a headset too (either by turning the mic off or by not talking) and only say something if I need to.

Third, welcome to online communities. . . (I was playing in TF2 one day when a guy came in with an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice and did a mock advertisement.. I had to stop playing because I was laughing so hard).

This is how war is today. You don't send 1.000 people in one direction to face off 1.000 people coming from the other direction. That was world war one and prior to it.

By using squad based combat with squad leaders you can uitilize real time strategy much better.

I haven't played it though so I can't comment. Never got around to trying the beta :(

The games feckin awesome dude's. 256 player matches are like rocks of crack. There so dam addictive. I think this games doing very well in Japan for a FPS because I've been in loads of games with full platoons of japanese people.

I don't know why this game is recieving a lot of hate. I think its the best online FPS I've played since Resistance 1 and I played Resistance 1 for nearly 6 months online

Film grain? I don't remember seeing that, though I thought I did notice brighter light with the HDR. Even with the in-game gamma setting cranked up, it's hard to see in certain places because of the HDR (In SVER's Sabotage map on ojbective A, the lighting will adjust when you look at the stairs making it difficult to see somebody if you make a quick glance in that direction.

no...i played the beta...didnt like it

 To really tell, you kinda have to look at the sky. Apparently it doesnt bother everyone, but it does me for some reason. I think its a vombination of things, and its kind of difficult to put my finger on. On some maps its more irritating than others. Like on the new "practice" map, where its all your own faction it didnt bother me. But attacking Sver on the  64-player map, drives me nuts. Basically you know that feeling you get when your outside in like bright light or shade, and you feel your eyes adjusting? Its the same feeling, like the lighting is tricking my brain into thinking my eyes can adjust to the shadows but they cant.

It is entirely possible that I am just about the only person who gets this. Its not... huge, its just annoying. That and it feels like the control sensitivity was screwed with on certain guns, even though I double checked my beta and retail sensitivity settings to make sure I set them the same. It seems liek there is a different acceleration in the rotational response of the aiming stick. Again, not really a huge deal. Game just isnt "agreeing" with me as much as it did during beta.

Killzone 2 managed to strike a nice blend between pleasing the snipers and those who hate them by using that cloaking device.

You could snipe from anywhere so long as you could remain invisible, soon as you got shot or someoone got to close, they can see you and BAM!!

It's a workable premise for any shooter if you swap a cloaking device for say camoflage!

I can't find a reason to buy M.A.G. even though I am trying somewhere in my mind.
