Hey John Remember this?

After months of speculation, Sony's supposed "Halo-killer" is finally revealed.

If nothing else, Killzone will go down in history for drawing more hype prior to its announcement than any game to date. Finally, however, rumor has given way to hard facts. Yes, Sony Europe has commissioned an original, exclusive first-person shooter for PS2, and yes, it does look rather like Sony's answer to Halo. Amsterdam-based Guerrilla Games is technically making its debut with Killzone, but its work shows a polish that belies its absent track record.

Like Halo, Killzone is a story-driven first-person shooter, but in this future, the only enemy is man. Separatist rebels, the Helghast, have declared war against the ISA, forces loyal to humanity's home on Earth. You command a team of four ISA soldiers behind enemy lines, selecting one team member to control while fighting alongside the others through 26 levels. That gives Killzone serious replay value, because you could play at least once with each character while also exploring multiple paths through each mission. All four team members have distinctive abilities, and their arsenal comprises 21 weapons equipped with a secondary fire option. And even if you get bored with the single-player game, full-blown online combat is in the works.

Killzone's most striking aspect so far is its layered environments. Guerrilla's engine adds remarkable depth to every area, from lush jungles to bombed-out shopping malls. For its part, Sony is supplying top-notch production values, with a cast of professional voice actors to accompany the story- driven presentation.

One question remains: Is it coming to the United States? The answer: It better be. Sony CEA is keeping quiet, but we expect to hear word well before the game's release in Europe next March.

Yet KillZone never went platnuim....

Now i don't think thats true at all.  I think Playstation owners are into FPS to a pretty good degree....i believe (don't quote me on this) that FPS is one of the most sold genres on the PS3.

And i'm guessin that KZ2 will have better legs than HW.

Yep CoD 4 is the highest selling PS3 game....Which i think led to KZ2 lackluster sales( Dont  Bash me or call me troll..It's just the truth)....Halo 3 hit 3 mil or so in the first week....and CoD4 is a bench mark on 360....a Halo RTS was a very smart move and the results show it's great reception if anything...but my point was that CoD 4 and Halo both exploded on the 360...while the the FPS base on PS3 would have to drop CoD 4 and play KillZone 2...so in esence PS3 is just not that into FPS...Or just Don't want to play anything other CoD4....Rainbow Six is a good example as well...

Yeah thats a good point KZ2 is alot like COD4 and WAW so those games must have sucked the majority of gamers in, most probably didn't get KZ2 because it felt too much like COD4....still is selling quite well imo.

I like the way you think, very level headed.
