The Official Killzone 2 Thread

[MaxwellGT2000]

Finally got my hands on the full game today. It's a nice well built game, the single player still has the issues of clinging to cover when I'm just trying to crouch cause of the situation I was in clinging to the wall would mean getting shot to death, and what did it do? clung to the wall and I got shot to death... WOO! Like most people have said the story is nothing amazing, in fact the mom/gay jokes make the script sound like it was written by 12 year old kids.

Campaign aside, MP had a lot tighter controls, lacked the cover system, which if it worked in the campaign I would want it in the MP but since it doesn't I think it's better off, anyway, MP is solid, has a bit of CoD in it with killzone flavor, the only thing that bugs me is the fact you have to unlock everything instead of getting your base set of weapons and things to do and unlocking more. The modes aren't anything new but the way they string them together is, it's a novel idea, kinda creative but not revolutionary.

The stages can be a bit too big even for 32 players, I was on one map looking around for a good minute and a half without seeing any enemies until I randomly was shot in the head by a guy that just came out of their side of the base so likely just lucky enough to spawn at that time.

The MP and SP level designs as a whole leave something to be desired, it's not bad but only a couple of places made me say wow, when thinking about other FPS games and being in awe sometimes of the levels, probably the artistry and the dark drab designs, not sure, but it seems so lifeless to me. The one place that I did think looked amazing was this one MP map with the dust storm raging and the shacks all around, just looked amazing.
