Alright assholes the game is coming out tomorrow.  Unless you live in a third world country like Europe. 


I'm all stocked up on whisky and weed, I have a mic.  I'm putting on my war paint and I'll be playing tomorrow night.  Whom among you pansies are getting the game? 

I guess I may as well. I almost cancelled it earlier but reconsidered at the last second.
I may not be on til the weekend.

I have it pre-ordered. As to rather or not Ill play the shitty MP or not is up in the air. PSN: NewEraBlood

Play the MP! It's the best bit. The SP's great, but it's nothing massively out of the ordinary for an FPS.

I'm not sure whether my review copy will work when the servers come online - fucking thing will probably screw itself up over the inevitable update - but my PSN's "dirigiblebill" or "dirigiblebill85", can't remember which.

Shitty aiming + (possible) lag= infuriated Danny. And Infuriated Danny does bad things, like talk about himself in 3rd person like Quez.

The only reason I'm still getting it is because I already have the cash spent on it, and its more hassle than its worth to call Gamestop and cancel the order. Whats really gay is how they've started listing pre-orders as "backordered", so you can't cancel them.

So, after having almost beaten Killzone 2 I have to say that it simply lacks individual elements. If you compare it to, say Gears 2, which had a lot of variety, KZ2 simply lacks. No matter if you are having a stand off on a big bridge, capturing a train or defending your spaceship, it's almost something you have already seen before. Also, the controls are still wrong..even after playing Killzone for over 10 hours I find the controls to be worse than say Call of Duty 4 controls. Especially the cover system is kinda useless, cause it makes you go into cover automatically. You can't just "duck" behind an object, you have to go into cover mode and that's often enough a disadvantage.

However, the graphics are definitely the best you can see on consoles, even though to me it seems like they put some extra polish in the first few levels, because in the later levels especially the texture quality is lacking. Still, the particle effects, animations and lighting look great. Can't wait to see how KZ3 is going to look like if they optimize the engine.

Oh, and the story and especially the characters are bad. If you thought that Gears 1 had an awful story, Killzone 2 is a few levels BELOW that. And the characters are really boring...there is no Cole Train here.

Still overall I'd say, of all the shooters I've played last year or so, Killzone 2 is worse than CoD4, Gears 2 and Halo 3, but still better than Resistance 2 or CoD: World at War. 

I'm still getting it but what about Multiplayer?  The only reason to buy FPS games in my book is for the online component. 
 
What do you think about the classes and maps/game modes?

Well I had to send my ps3 in for out of warranty repairs. So I will be about a week or 2 behind you guys. I got the game but no ps3 to play it with sucks but what can you do.

I will see you agent online once I get my ps3 back.

Killzone 2? Pffff. How very five hours ago. What you should really be asking yourselves is what Guerrilla Games could do next...

We should? Track record: 1 good game(Killzone 2), 1 mediocre game(Killzone PSP), and 1 terrible game(Killzone). And the good one was only with all of Sony's support, god knows how much money, and 5 years dev time.

Dude, don't try to tell me you aren't CHOMPING AT THE BIT for Dance Dance Revolution: Killzone 2.

Dance Dance Revolution: Killzone 2

I want this...

I don't do drugs and I don't drink.  Am I still allowed to enjoy Killzone 2?

You probably wont, then.

...i have very veeery mixed feelings about this game...

I havent purchased it yet, the controls in the demo turned me off on it.

Also the news that RE5 is only 7-9 hours long as a blow compared to nearly 20 for RE4.

And the fuckers delayed Dragon Age till late fall, this spring is dissapointing.

i got it, multiplayer seems normal, altough its all very dark and brown, its hard to make out ememys sometimes. good game though.

It's bad karma for always mocking the 360 RRoD.

I played for a few hours and I'm using Alternate 2, I reduced the sensitivity for the x and y axis two notches.  Big difference.

The thing about multiplayer is that the game is pretty simplistic at first.  It takes a while before you can earn the other classes. 

The classes are what multiplayer excellent. 

Rifleman:
Base class, no special abilities.

Engineer/Engineer
Primary: Sets up an automated turret which targets the enemy.
Secondary: Repairs ammunition dispensers, mounted guns, and automated turrets.

Medic/Medic
Primary: Revives downed team mates.
Secondary: Throws a health pack, which can be picked up by other players.

Scout/Scout
Primary: Uses a cloaking suit to become near-invisible.
Secondary: Tags all on-screen enemy players with a hidden marker, which broadcasts their coordinates to team mates.

Assault/Assault
Primary: Dons heavy armour twice as strong as normal.
Secondary: Temporarily boosts running speed.

Tactitian/Tactitian
Primary: Throws a coloured smoke grenade, which serves as a spawn point.
Secondary: Requests air support from a sentry bot which targets the enemy.

Saboteur/Saboteur
Primary: Assumes the disguise of a randomly selected enemy player.
Secondary: Throws a sticky, proximity-activated C-4 charge.


Eventually you'll reach a point where you can make custom classes.  You can use any primary ability and mix it with any secondary ability.

Lol Yep Exactly
