How's everyone liking Killzone 2? I started off by playing the multi-player this weekend and I like it a lot. One fear I had was how long it would take to get to General. The answer: not very long. After logging in 3 1/2 hours in multiplayer I'm almost halfway there. It helped that I was on the winning team a lot. You get a 1.5x bonus to your score if you are on the winning team.
And the weekly honor ranks may not be all that bad. If you have to be in the top 1% for that week then currently you need to be in the top 3,120 out of 312,000 register users. I was around 3,500 the other day. But overnight I jumped up to 15,500. I believe the 1st week will be really hard to maintain. Now I wonder, as people stop playing during later weeks will it still count all the registered 'inactive' users towards the weekly honor %. That alone would make them much easier to attain.
Also blasted through the single player in a single sitting last night. Graphics, physics, shooting, weapons all top notch. Story and character development was unfortunately very weak. Despite the story flaw I'd give it a 9/10 for its awesome gameplay and fantastic multi-player.
As far as platinum goes: my initial impression is that getting all the ribbons/medals in multi-player will make this game really hard to platinum. I suspect beating it on Elite difficulty will be very challenging too.
