Pretty much.

It's just a generic shooter that isn't quite as good as Gears or Resistance but has marginally better graphics and was given more hype than the latter games combined.

Though it is true that kz2 lacks split screen or co-op, its anything but a generic shooter. You see, if you ever gave kz2's MP a shot, you'll understand why splitscreen is impossible. I do agree that they could've added co-op though since there's always someone with you the entire SP campaign.

KZ2's MP is class based and focuses highly on teamwork. You can't really be a one-man army thats why it also has no free-for-all/deathmatch mode. The game would never work in splitscreen mode. It's just the MP design. Take it from someone with vast knowledge/experience playing the MP.

The best you can hope for in offline is to play with bots. KZ2 is far from generic. Don't make uninformed statements like you know what you are talking about.

I'm sorry?  I have thoroughly played 90% of the game's features.  Not to mention reading copious amounts of reviews, previews, and breakdowns.

I haven't made one sweeping statement about the right or wrong of other's opinions.  I have commented that whilst I found the game to be decent, it WAS in my opinion, and post-release, the opinion of a large number of gamers, a generic shooter with above average graphics.

The title asks if anyone was disappointed, disappointment denotes expectation.

In neither sales, quality or groundbreaking innovation is Killzone 2 widly held to have met expectations, as they were always too high.

I have no problem if you think it was disappointing but to say its generic is fallacy except we have a different view of what generic means. Generic seems to be synonymous to disappointing to you from what I gather from your posts. Generic, IMO, means same old, same old which is what kz2 wasn't. Frankly I think it'll have sold more if it just ripped of COD like Dante's Inferno did to GoW.

Exactly what reviews thought kz2 was generic? Last I checked, most reviews were impressed with the MP and it was 90% on metacritic. Granted this isn't the best was to judge game quality but I dont think those gamers are qualified to judge kz2 either. Most of the people who were disappointed in kz2 were cod4 fanboys who thought they had cod4 with improved graphics and sound and were disappointed when it wasn't. I'd like to see you dispute this.
