Explain this:

If the controls suck, why does pretty much everyone except you love them? Surely if they're bad, they're unusable.

It's just different! It's a different game! Stop thinking of it as an FPS, if you like. Think of it as something else. Forget everything you know about playing an FPS, and THEN play Killzone 2. It isn't Call of Duty 4. If you want CoD4, go play CoD4. Would you want to play Brawl with Tekken controls? Mario Kart with Gran Turismo controls? No, they're different games. Different type of fighter. Different type of racing game. Different type of shooter.

The people who got to 10 Prestige 55 on CoD4 are just annoyed because they're no longer so much better than everyone else. They can't stand it, starting from the same place as everyone else...

This guy that just posted, Kantor. Won the thread.

 Bad and unusable are not the same. RTS games on a console have bad controls, but you can still play them and enjoy it. Secondly, there have been a thousand and one people complaining about the KZ2 controls. There is a thread on the official forums about it that got 300ish pages of replies as I recall. If you want to defend the game then go ahead, but don't distort reality to do it.

If it was done to make you feel the weight of the gun an assualt rifle would not handle the exact same way as a pistol.

It was done intentionally,  who says it's the weight of the gun?  Maybe just the weight of your 'body' or character.

Really? If they're fine, how does the subject manage to pop up so much? The Playstation Boards get a thread about the controls all the time (though they're all tards when it comes to discussing it). I was playing online earlier and even heard complaints on a rare occasion.

It'd also be a good idea if you stopped telling people to go back to CoD4 - people are complaining so much because they wanna like the game. The truth is most people probably don't wanna go back to CoD4. They want somethin different. KZ2 finally arrives and even some of the people that are used to the controls are still bothered by them.

I have no idea what GG was tryin to do with these controls, but they sure as hell arn't realisitic.

It's funny when you see two people going at it - sometimes you can literally see that they're struggling with the controls, as they do circles around eachother for a while.

I think it's about time that someone makes a poll on this. It's hard to tell whether the majority likes or dislikes it, but you can't deny that it's been gettin tons of complaints.
