Have you played through the Russian campaign for CoD:Waw?

I keep picturing something similar for Killzone 2 with the Helghan force in the role of the Russians, I can picture it now, the final confrontation, reclaiming Vecta, removing the oxygen mask and breathing fresh air for thefirst time and raising the Helghast flag just like the end of CoD:Waw.

Actually, its the system that's the hub, not the planet Helghan, and since UCN control the system now, the biggest reason to invade Helghan is to kill Visari. Remember, that this is instigated by the ISA of Vecta, who are understandably more nervous of their neighbours than the UCN which has to look at the broader picture and not just the welfare of a single planet.

lol, if they were the recent generations of Helghast, it'd be a twist of fate that they've finally won back their Vekta and they've adapted too much to Helghan that they can't live in other places anymore.

Roger that, Mibuo ^^

That would make a good out-take, a bit like War of the World lol.

Well, Saddam was seen as a threat with Iraq.  He invaded Iraq, and the world was sold a bill of goods he was about to acquire WMD, and they didn't want to risk "a smoking gun turned into a mushroom cloud".  Even with all this talk, the world wasn't going to vote to invade Iraq.  But, the USA did.  The point being, even if someone may pose a threat to strike, it doesn't mean you invade them.   I believe in a special on KZ2, a lead designer on the game (or a business type) said that the game is going to make it unclear whether or not you are on the right side.

The only reason to bring up Iraq was the invasion of Iraq was considered morally questionable.  The invasion of Helghast seems similar, particularly all this talk of the back story, which is the impression I got the more I read the discussion in this thread.

:) i guess if they survived the adaption phase to live on that hellish piece of rock ..the adaption to vecta ,if there was any necesarry would seem  like a vacation   "oh god my lungs cant take that fresh air ..and my eyes cant take all those bright colours"  " deal with it you whippersnapers, when we first came to helghan half of us died of radiation , lung insufficency or starvation and you complain about rainbows and fresh air?"

Considering that the Helghast DID attack Vekta and DID steal nuclear weapons, I'd say that's posing enough threat for the ISA to want to take action.

So, you are saying the Helghast possessed WMD?

Did you read our debate? The one thing we agree on is that the ISA are evil bastards. We just don't agree on how evil they are, compared to the Helghan (now the Helghast)

The ISA are every bit as bad as the Helghast, but not as iconic.

The ISA developed some to use against the Helghast, but the Helghast stole them during the invasion of Vekta (during the events of Liberation).

In fact, if you've seen all the videos for Killzone 2, it appears that the Helghast use a nuclear weapon against the ISA.
