It seems to be a trend going on with the top sellers to have a mode where waves and waves of enemies come at you and you and a couple of friends must take them on. Gears of War 2 started it, Call of Duty: World At War followed it and should Killzone 2 include it? I think so, would stretch out the lasting value of the game and make this top notch game even better.

Gears didn't start it.  It was also in every arcade game ever that I've ever seen.  Robotron, Smash TV, Geometry Wars, and everything in between.  Many games used to call levels or rounds "waves" for this same reason.

 well i don't believe none of those games had the same impact on the industry as horde mode O.o....i'm pretty sure gears 2 is what made that mode more mainstream.

Arcade games WERE the mainstream industry when they started this form of gameplay.  Have you been to an arcade?  Their job is take your money, so the vast majority of games take some of your coins and then give you "waves" of a "horde" of countless enemies and you last as long as you can and compete for a high score.
