Wow, so much hate for kz2. Do many of you realize it has a higher score than kz3 on most sites? Do many of you know that a significant percentage of kz2 fans don't like kz3?
I can understand your dislike for kz2...it's a pretty hard game to learn but if you did endure the learning curve, you appreciate it as the most unique FPS to hit consoles this gen. There's a reason some of us can't let go. While KZ3 may look fresh and shiny, it's actually a huge downgrade to kz2 when you look in depth.
For starters, the best feature of kz2's MP is absent from kz3 i.e custom servers and server lists. While kz2 may no have many game modes, you can play the game however you want thanks to this. Bodycount did not need its own mode with less maps if you could simply create it yourself. Even operations is just CnH and SnD with boring cutscenes tacked on. Rifles only? You got it. Pistol only? You got it. Forum game? you got it. Sniper only? you got it. This increases a game's staying power on a ridiculous level. I know lots who got kz3 and have since returned to the gem caled kz2. If anyone knows of another fps on consoles this gen that has this feature, pls let me know cos this makes kz2 the best fps MP this gen IMHO. WHo would've though a JRPG fan like myself could spend 92 days playing an FPS nline?
I could go on and on with the other ridiculous downgrades but I'll stop at the most obvious and indsputable one and what untimatley made me skip kz3. I'm willing to bet that by the end of this year, kz2 will have more people still playing online than kz3.
