   I love Killzone 2, the multiplayer is awesome in every way from the shifting objectives to the weapons to the class system to the combat.  There is only one glaring fault, the best part of KZ2 is underutilized.

   The best system is the alternate spawn 4 person squad system.  The problem is that the game does not put you in a squad and let you change, it makes squads optional and thus almost noone joins squads.  In R2 you are put into a squad and forced to work together which might be a little draconian, but it also keeps things tight.  In KZ2 when you join you have to make a squad and then manually invite people you don't know to fill it out (or try to join with the few commanders who try to make a squad and hope they accept).

   In a good squad KZ2 is like a whole new game.  No running across the map to get to the aciton, you spawn right on your leader after death and are right back in the fight.  You get squad level coms and if you stick together 4 people can do great things even against twice their number.  I just wish the game A) encouraged squads more and B) gave a quick accept command for when people ask to join your squad.

   The most obvious solution would be to give extra experience or some other benefit besides just spawning on commander for being in a squad.  The easiest one would seem to be points for assist skills with other squad members or something of the sort.  Either way I wish that they would push KZ2's best multiplayer feature more.
