Is Killzone 2 destined for failure :-(

I personally don't have high hopes for KZ2. The first one was mediocre, and Guerilla's track record consists of KZ1, Shellshock Nam '67, and KZ:L. Their best game was a KZ:L, and it wasn't an FPS. I dunno, aside from amazing graphics, I see little in the track record of the developer to think this game will amaze. And despite the millions thrown at the project, you can't buy quality. Games like Lair have already proven that.

I suggest you look into Bungie's record (FPS, not MYTH series) before Halo, that should give you a clue. Would you have expected a FPS masterpiece from Bungie with only "Marathon" as their prior FPS game? I think not.

 I haven't played Marathon so I can't really say for myself, but wasn't it regarded as a very good game for its time? Whereas both Killzone 1 and especialy Nam '67 (both of which I have played) sucked. I'm speaking from my own experience in regards to my expectations. When I first played Halo at a EB Games demo kiosk, I was blown away. When I brought home Killzone on day 1, I was underwhelmed (though the "Halo-killer" hype, which was not Guerilla's fault, had a lot to do with it). I would love to be proven wrong though.
