To play devils advocate, and I seriously am being honest here, it shouldn't be scrapped.....but dialed down. It should not be marketed as a AAA FPS.
To use Halo as an example, and only because it is my favorite sci-fi FPS, and not because its the rivals sci-fi FPS, there are clear differences why Killzone just falls flat. For one thing, the lore is sloppy at best. Most of the time, you fight for a a side that the players don't care about whether they win or lose, or the ideals they have. The Helghast by comparison are more interesting on a aesthetics and ideological standpoint......yet you are killing them most of the time. In Halo, Master Chief is different in appearance. Badass looking, different from the others, but still Human, fighting for a noble cause while still following orders.
In Halo, you fight for humanitys survival, and with Halo 4 going forward, humanity's rightful place in the galaxy. In Killzone......you fight a pointless human on mutated-human (?) conflict with snowballing petty squabbles being the main focus. Wheres Earth in all this? Just Vekta and Helghan? If this is a war.....gimme a REAL war, spanning dozens of star systems. Granted my knowledge of KZ lore is spotty at best, I may be wrong with specifics but Im sure my general point is coming across here.
The series just screams "COD with scifi". Now when I say that, I mean its like COD players, where they buy it for the multiplayer and ignore the bare-bones campaign.
I can't comment on MP, because that is KZ's strong suit as I am told, but as far as campaign/lore goes, it leaves a ton to be desired from a fellow sci-fi junkie. Bash Halo all you want, but they got the lore down to a T.
KZ sells well enough to warrant sequels, but it definitely shouldn't be AAA anymore, if reviews are anything to go by.
