Forums - Sony - Very easy to knife your way through Killzone2 says GamesRadar.

According to one journalist, there is something of a gameplay flaw in the pre-release copy of Killzone 2. On normal difficulty, it is easy just to use the one hit kill knife and charge at your enemies like a maniac. Sometimes the enemies will fire at you but there fire is not strong enough to kill you and you heal quickly. At other times, they'll just run away, anyhow it is very easy to defeat them just by running through with the virtual knife.

On Normal difficulty, the red-eyed Helghast stormtroopers are pretty formidable opponents – if you try to take them on from a distance, with a gun. But if you instead opt to whip out protagonist Sev’s one-hit-kill knife and just charge at them like a maniac, they won’t know what to do. Sometimes they’ll open fire, plugging you with a few bullets that you’ll easily shrug off, thanks to Sev’s unnaturally high endurance and (now standard) ability to heal just by not being shot for a little while. Other times, they’ll turn tail and try to run away. Whatever they try to do, they’re usually easy prey, even when you’re faced with a bunch of them at once, and you may find those early levels are much easier if you ignore guns completely and just go all Jason Voorhees on everything that moves.

Last I heard you can do this in CoD, Splintercell and Socom. I also heard it is quite fun to knife your way through CoD4.

Is this the same site that gave out that "review" earlier this week or what that some other site?

 

I see the hate is already starting.

My personal solution, put the game on Hard.

If Rambo can do it.



Maybe they have a Trophy to Knife through the whole game :P

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

Didn't other reviewers say that you can't run and gun, and you have to be tactical and take cover?

Why would it be easier to charge them with a knife than to charge them with a gun?

Supposedly the knife is 1-hit kill.

up the difficulty would be the simple solution.... and I pretty much did this with Resistance and the shotty.



Sounds fun. But really, it's a major flaw. We shall see.



It's like they want to justify their pre-review, lol.

Whatever though, I'll wait for the other sites like IGN, Gametrailers, and 1up (or what's left of 1up).

I never heard of it being a major flaw when talking about CoD4 though.

Not just that, but they only mention it for the one difficulty. How are they in this situation when the game is set to hard or whatever comes after that? Game has 4 difficulty levels right?

Didn't you hear? COD4 is perfect in all ways.
