But I get the impression that the STA3 is similarly accurate (as compared to the medic's M224-1A LMG with is useless), but more powerful and with a giant clip. Except without unlocking the engineer, I haven't been able to test my theory.

Maybe they look like Combat maps. Would you play then?

Combat online?
Hells yeah! 
I think I'd get bored after two minutes.
I did play a lot of that in the eighties.

Though I guess this is all conditional on what we consider short and mid range.

There's also a diversity of strategies depending on the level, moreso than I do with the medic. Bilgarsk it's not too hard to stay pretty safe and still pick guys off at some serious distance. Snowdrifts you have to place yourself carefully and be more active. Pyrrhus crater tends to jump between close-quarters and sniping, and Frozen Dam is a deathtrap. Oh, and as always, the jungle sucks.
I've taken to using the double primary skill. The assault rifle's pretty good, and I like the combination of sniping someone, then swapping to the rifle while visible. It means I miss the silenced pistol, stay-cloaked kills, but that's trickier, perhaps too much so to be worth it.

It's been a slow burn, but now I'm consistently finishing with more kills than deaths in Warzone.
Now then! Leo and I had discussed about online play -- anyone have/getting mics? It would be nice to get in some games where there's actual coordination.

Note that most any bluetooth headset should work with the PS3, not just the Sony branded one (though that's what I have - can't say anything about the quality as I haven't used it yet!).

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileGreat find, Yoda.
I played some Killzone 2 yesterday. Instantly found a suitable game with more people than is possible on Killzone 3. Joined it and played without having to wait for the matchmaking system to find a game itself. (List of games on a menu ftw!)
Wasn't too used to the controls, but they felt much intuitive than Killzone's 3 so it wasn't really a problem. Was nice to get headshots when I shot someone in the head too.
That was nice and easy! It seems like this patch business has made it quite hard to find games with those who don't have it. Took a long time to get into a game with just a few people. :/ I think I might go back to Killzone 2 for the minute. I don't think I can play with you lot anyway.
