ResumePlay re-review: Killzone 2

Jack Patton writes: "Since the dawn of PS3, one of the most frequent phrases uttered by the millions of SONY supporters was 'Killzone 2 is gonna rock' and rock it did but here's the thing. Killzone 2 is one of, if not the, most critically acclaimed games of 2009. So of course, you get the millions of fanboys, or maybe just Killzone fans, immediately hailing it as gaming perfection. If I'm honest for the first ten hours, I thought it was perfect too."

sexy review

[Chubear]

if halo3 can seen as a 10/10 type game then Killzone2 is certainly a 20/10 game cause it outright slaughters halo in EVERY SINGLE AREA of gaming.

Go on, disagree and show me what with a vid comparison what halo does that remotely comes anywhere near what this the game presents. If halo3 is a 10 type game this game is ATLEAST a 10 type game too.

I beg you prove me wrong and show me some comparison vids of

Animation; sound; weaponry; voice acting; Game pacing; gameplay elements; general presentation; Graphics (both on and off line). Show me. lol

[solar]

they forgot the . in front of the 4

[silverchode]

the difference between halo3 and kz2 is that halo3 is much more fun. you guys need to accept kz2 did not live up to the hype.

[Traveler]

That's just the thing, Halo 3 isn't more fun to me. I own both games and I play Killzone 2 a lot more than Halo 3.

Please don't state your opinions as facts. It might not have lived up to the hype for you, but it sure did to me.

[dawgsfan117]

I own both and I like them about the same with a slight edge to Halo 3. The reason I prefer Halo 3 is the 4-player co-op which adds exponentially to the games replay value and of course the massive amount of online content and a map editor which makes for some awsome user generated content.

Dont get me wrong I loved Killzone 2 and it was the best looking game that ive played to date other than Crysis. But it did have flaws. I got tired of the colorless city streets after a while but the one glaring problem with the game was the cameras location. I was looking into the stomach of other people instead of their faces. I mean how do you screw that up when your making the game??

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Chubear, don't try and force your opinions upon us, gameplay is very much down to personal choice. KZ2 is clearly far superior technically and sounds incredible, but Halo 3 is great fun to play. Both are great online and both for different reasons.

[Arnon]

I think Halo 3 is a lot more enjoyable. The only thing Killzone 2 slaughters is graphics. Halo 3 has more game modes, more options, more maps, more weapons, vehicles and pretty much more of everything compared to Killzone 2.

And honestly... graphics in a shooter that people want to play for multiplayer is pointless. They just want pure gameplay.

[Bagogames]

Completely matches my opinion of the game! Incredible!

Such a fine writer!

Good job! :P

[Blaze929]

lmao lemme guess, you're the "writer" or staff on that website.

[lociefer]

lol touche +bubbles

[Ziriux]

@ Blaze

I'm going to give you a bubbles because you commented in something else than a report feature, lol.

[Traveler]

The review doesn't match my opinion. Killzone 2 is my favorite shooter thus far this generation.

[G3TDOWN]

Anything under 9.5/10 is fishy and websites should be checked by FBI. Maybe terrorists are attacking the U.S gaming industry

[MNicholas]

Here's a real US Military flame-thrower. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

KZ2's is the same only scaled down for indoor spaces.

[TOO PAWNED]

Ha this TOOL is praising him self! How transparent! we can see your username kid(born 91 lol still child that can't write proper English "writer" lol).
I think you should RE-re-review it and give it 3/5, since you are such a good "writer".
You will learn kid, that once you fail on internet, you are done, just like that. gamers don't forget, ever!

[Boody-Bandit]

That is exactly what I thought after reading this article and his responses here. Any kid with web space can write a review (no matter how poorly written) and get it approved here.

[Xbox Avatars Shoe]

"it has to many shortcomings to warrant that titles"

LOL! You lost any pre-existing credibility in the second paragraph! That articles grammar is painful to read!

First of all it's "too" with two "o"s; second, WTF does "to warrant that titles" mean?

I LOL'd at "So then I started replaying the game to find faults, and it wasn’t very hard. This article/re-review will look at things you perhaps missed" LOLOL! Who the f*ck plays a game to find faults? I play games to have fun, not to b*tch. I could hop on the amazing MGS4 and not have fun and find faults... oh wait, MGS4 is perfect :P

What a joke seriously... FAIL!

[brandynevils]

Haven't I taught you better than to leave yourself comments?

tsk tsk tsk

[Headshot81]

Its like GG dove into my mind for ideas to create a f@cken BAD ASS game!!!!. it took me a while, but now im a killin'machine. Nothing like flying solo and going against a squad, 1vs4,and taking all of them out as you see your name is filling up the corner of the screen when you light'em up.WTF! i just got sniped,i respawn and spot and mark my target while cloaked, funny that he's lookin away trying to find his next unsuspecting victim,never had a chance,<POUghh!!!!>(Head shot)his helmet pops like popcorn,( bell noise) SCHEME!!, confirmed kill.

[JL]

Holy sh*t, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. When I read people saying Patton up there was probably the writer, I just figured it to be fanatics overreacting (like is common on here). Then I ventured to take a peek at that site. Lo and behold, there it is: author is Jack Patton. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I mean seriously, that might be the saddest thing I've ever seen. Praising his own review as he tries to pretend he's not the same person. That, coupled with the "my reputation as a credible reviewist" remark, is absolutely priceless. I'm not sure whether to take bubbles from this guy or give them to him just to see what kind of gems we get from him in the future. Sad sad sad. Learn English and take some grammar lessons, then you can actually start on that "reviewist" thing. Maybe you can work up from laughable to credible one day.

On that note, why in the world did something like this get approved? Come on, the game is like 5 months old. We don't need reviews for this game anymore. No "re-reviews" either.

[Cordell Walker]

hey jack, guess who lol

In total agreement here too :)

[Ziriux]

Killzone 2 kicks ass.

[Traveler]

Yes it does. It is my favorite shooter right now.

[dawgsfan117]

Yes it does kick ass but its ironic because due to the really low location of the camera in the game you spend your time staring at peoples ass/crotch area.

[CheatsMcGee]

Killzone, an interesting game that I didn't really like very much. I still think FPS games are better on the 360, but Killzone apparently breaks that tradition.

Nice article all around.

[Traveler]

How would FPS games be better on the 360? The 360 and PS3 are just consoles. I play shooters on the 360 and I play shooters on the PS3 and the experience is no different, other than the differences between the games themselves.

[doctorstrange]

I find both consoles controls equally good for the genre. K2 is a pretty damn good game, love the whole theme, graphics and gameplay and definitely deserves to be in this generations hall of fame of top FPS'

[saint_john_paul_ii]

if you meant the controllers, then i would agree that both experiences are difference, other than that, theres no difference at all.

[FadeToBlack]

The 360 controller has a better layout for FPS I dont care what anyone says. I love KZ2 but would rather use a 360 controller if I could.

[mastiffchild]

I'd rather use my, or even someone elses winky than a 360 controller! Just doesn't get on with my slender fingered leftyness at all-for any kind of game! Sadly MS haven't yet got Natal up and running so my dreams of shooting with my own love missile remain just that, dreams;)

But, seriously, the ONLY reason to prefer the gamplay from console to console is controller preference and suitability.

[GIJeff]

got BF1942 on the 360 and ps3 so i can play with all my friends. I get 2 times the score/kills on the ps3. here's whats interesting, on the 360, the game has this weird blurry feel to it. like im looking through dirty glass. i cant read the small text very well and see detail in the distance. However, on the ps3 its noticeably sharper. I'm wondering if that's the "free AA" the 360 gives games...

[Bagogames]

Guess the username gives it away huh :S

Not all FPS are best suited to Xbox360 actually :p

Although I must say the easy cross-game-chat XBL gives you is a huge plus.

[Dead_Cell]

Will be competitive level again within five minutes of picking up a new FPS.
Whether it be different console,different controller,different button layout it really shouldn't make a difference.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Awesome game. Must play for every gamer.

[KingEamon]

I lost all respect for this guy when he said 'the word Britsh makes my throat hurt' fcking Irish dckhead

[Bagogames]

That's me ^^ (In actual fact I am not Anti-British my friend here thought it'd be funny to make a bigger ass out of me than he already does and I just rolled with it. Want proof? Check where my gf comes from, Gosport England...god help me)

On the PS3/360 for FPS shoot debate the only real difference is the networks. XBL has cross-game-chat in game which is good, and despite that we know PSN will have it eventually, it's pretty much the only thing XBL has that I envy.

[SnuggleBandit]

whoops my bad wrong reply

[cyclindk]

Nice article, but the reasons for multiplayer being boring don't add up... I mean, you do realize that you can completely customize how a match plays, from nothing but bodycount, nothing but destroy the objective, or any mixture, for any durations you choose, with any number of maps and in whatever order you could think of playing them, what weapons or classes, or badges you want to be available!!!... I mean, come on, it doesn't GET any more convenient or customizable than that!

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Killzone 2 does have a lot of customisation, second only to Halo 3 on consoles in that aspect. Have recently got back into the game, brilliant online, in fact I have a KZ2 clan match in 25 mins ;) The clan feature online is pure awesome!

Off topic, but does anyone else have an issue with N4G.com whilst using Chrome? It appears as though it loads up each page 5 or 6 times, so in order to go back 1 page I need to backspace 6 times, real annoying.

[starchild]

Yes, I have the same problem using Chrome. I wonder what's up with that.

I came to Killzone 2 only recently, which I regret, but I am really enjoying the hell out of it now.

[SnuggleBandit]

i'm on firefox right now and today i've gotten this "cannot connect to server" error like three times coming to n4g

[rukia_chan]

man,i love this game.

[ambientFLIER]

Wouldn't a PC be able to play this game, since they are much more powerful than PS3's?

[commodore64]

@ ^^^

Yeah.

It will only be a matter of time before someone codes a ps3 emulator for PC.

Probably on the cards for the next PC upgrade cycle, no?

[Morituri]

"Killzone 2 has many brilliant but flawed ideas and although on arrival it may seem like the perfect FPS, scoff, it has to many shortcomings to warrant that titles."

So this "writer" uses the word "to" instead of "too" and then goes on to use the word "titles" which obviously indicates a plural when he is pointing to a singular... His skills are just too flawed for him to be taken seriously in any respect whatsoever.

He fails bigtime.

[Dead_Cell]

His skill as a Writer may be in question but it doesn't mean his points are moot because of it.
That's kind of a narrow minded way of thought,don't you think?

[Chubear]

It is the best FPS I have ever played in my life hands down.

[FadeToBlack]

That game would be Half Life 2

[Qazdaz]

half life 2 was brilliant half a decade ago. Now it's 'a good game'. Seriously it isnt that brilliant nowadays compared to some of the stuff that comes out now

[d_dogg2007]

How does it not innovate? Hit response system, full cover system in FPS( never seen that before) Amazing A.I (try to take down the Helghast on Elite they outsmart you!) and weight to your mouvement to give it more realism. Really this game does way more than any FPS out there and what about the dialogue?? Their marines in a huge firefight of course their gonna swear. What did you expect proper english when your fellow soldier just got blown to bits?? This game is phenomenal and even got platinum for it. Definitely over 9 not 8

[tuglu_pati]

"full cover system in FPS( never seen that before)"

Ahh? Have you never heard of a game called "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas?

On topic, great game, maybe not the best FPS but among them.

[d_dogg2007]

Yeah I have it but that goes into 3rd person when your in cover, Killzone 2 stays in 1st person the whole time and that has never been done. Plus it's implemented so flawlessly into the gameplay mechanics that sometimes i go back to my older 1st person shooter and long for the cover system, especially in COD

[Ray J]

-

[Bagogames]

Wow, you spent how long reading my review to just trash it? I love how you quote the ending of the review, meaning you read every word of my moronic writing. Spit back if you like, but the main goal of a writer is to get the reader to read everything, and looky what you did :P

Now if you where to turn around and say 'I skipped to the end' then you'd lose any right to complain against my writing as you don't even read it correctly.

This, is total failure. :)

About the multiplayer - yeah I know what you mean but I'm more interested in just jumping into a game pre-made with 20 to 26 guys already in there so i don't need to wait around. It's options are impressive, but they're a bit wasted on me as I just want to play the game from the moment I put it in the PS3.

About the flamethrower - I'm sorry but I cannot accept that looks right, yes I looked at the vid. Dude it looks like it's p***ing! :O

[Dead_Cell]

All feels the same when it's attatched to your face.

[Morituri]

Why would I waste the precious minutes of my life to read your badly written "article"?

To be taken seriously, you must work to present yourself seriously. Before you put something out in the world that is intended for the masses to consume, you should at the very least proof-read your work. Your lack of concern is a clear indication that you don't really care, so why should I really care in turn?

Your efforts in writing this deserve equal amounts of effort in reading it - which isn't very much. Don't flatter yourself "mate".

[SmokeyMcBear]

you're talking about jumping into a game being easy with kz2 right.. none of that matchmaking screen, or waiting.. or having a stupid host be a baby and quit... there are a bunch of servers up, and you join one that is already in progress... 10-32 people in the server already fighting and you join in.. not sure what other console fps just lets you jump in like that, if not joining a friend.. oh which killzone 2 lets you also do that.

oh yea.... that brings up a point.. i found it really ironic that your worst criticism of the game was the swearing that rico does.. yet you cant seem to refrain from doing it in your "article"... the sarcasm doesn't ring through.. so it just leaves ya looking... like an amateur.

[Bagogames]

I havent reviewed Halo 3 yet...can you please wait till I do before you start screaming "KILLZONE 2 BEATS HALO 3 HANDS DOWN" which trust me, it does, but shouting it out before I even get round to reviewing it seems a bit...

[Ninji]

It doesn't matter if you review Halo 3 or not. Killzone 2 easily beat Halo 3 and you don't even need a review to see that. KZ2 has better graphics, gameplay, clan system, etc.

[danthaman15]

That's your opinion. If you don't like it, your opinion is not fac...oh wait, this is the open zone. My bad.

[Arnon]

Better graphics yes... better clan, gameplay? No.

Halo 3:
-Clan support
-40+ weapons
-26 maps
-12 or so vehicles
-more game modes that are original
-50 ranks for each ranked matchmaking
-4 player Co-Op
-Forge mode with unlimited customization
-Theater mode which has become so popular it's been used around the world for everything.

So what exactly does Killzone 2 have over Halo 3? Graphics? There's not one aspect about Killzone 2 that's better except for it's graphics. Hell, even the enemies are bland.

And before you judged me, I played the HELL out of Killzone 2. I have about 68% of all the trophies, and I'm pretty much done with the multiplayer.

[deadreckoning666]

If Killzone 2 so OBVIOUSLY destroys Halo 3, u wouldnt have to mention it and everyone would know it already.

Yeah as far as gunplay, destructive environments, graphics, sound, and over all chaos Killzone 2 exceeds Halo 3. Stat tracking and overall features goes to Halo 3 cause of Forge, Save and Replay System, and co-op. There BOTH awesome games, but I hate it when people say Halo sux just because they can't cope with the fact that they have to actually work for their kill and shoot a guy a bazillion times! Its the future and the armor is really really strong, if u can't understand that, take ur ass back ta noob of duty 4.

@Patton
I love playing Call of Duty 4 too, but its WAYYY to accesable. Its all about HOW FAST u shoot as opposed to just HOW u shoot. Like u said, when u play Halo, ur heart beats like crazy...I really dont get that feeling in COD. Overall, if I had ta choose one, Id take Killzone 2, but I dont get why people have ta downplay one game ta up the cred of another.

[starchild]

I understand Halo 3 and I am even pretty damn good at it. But that doesn't stop me from thinking that Killzone 2 is a better game. Halo is a little overrated in my opinion and Killzone 2 is a little underrated.

Killzone 2 could look no better than Halo 3 and I would still like it better than Halo 3.

[Chubear]

Obvious, in that context, is subjective. Sarah Palin, e.g, (sorry to use politics as an example here) was obviously not remotely qualified to lead a country in any regard but that obviousness was lost on 48 million people who voted for her anyway.

Now here's the thing. I really don't want to down other games in favour of another but this is how it's been done with other FPS concerning halo. It's fanbase are well known for insanely hyping the most average of ANYTHING to do with halo and it drives a lot of gamers batty when all you hear is "halo halo halo" when discussing other games knowing fully well halo is just a normal run-of-the-mill FPS that was fortunate to catch mind blowing hype.

As for the saying that stat tracking and features are better on halo. Well, I'm not going into stat tracking cause stat tracking is stat tracking, there is NOTHING halo is doing with stat tracking that different from a tonne of other games around.

However, when you say stuff like Forge I can't help but go "see?!" cause come on, that's yet another example of taking something rather average and blowing it out of porportion. Look, forge is a very watered down map editor. Why glorify a gimped map editor.

Save and replay is great and I've been saying why the hell all games don't have this feature... since PS1. Yes that's right, this feature has been around since the PS1 and not new at all. Halo3 has it and I applaud Bungie for implementing this cause ALL game should have this feature and I have clue why they don't.

And then there's co-op. halo has co-op and KZ2 doesn't but co-op isn't something that breaks the deal with KZ2 or any other shooter that doesn't have it. Great to have and hopefully KZ2 will have it in the future or on KZ3 but it's not remotely a deal breaker. Hey, R2 has an insane co-op mode with up to 8 players but I'm not going to say R2 is a better FPS than KZ2 cause of that... btw, does halo3 has 8player co-op too?

Let's be straight and fair; there is NOTHING new or innovative that halo3 brought to the table yet it got 10s across the board in graphics, story, gameplay etc. I'm sorry but pound for pound halo3 looks like a last gen toy, online and off, when compared to KZ2 and all I'm saying is - just use the exact same standards you used to rate one game and apply it to all games equally, that's all.

.. oh dear, I wrote another essay lolz

[Bagogames]

DUDE! I love Call Of Duty 4!

I actually have no problem killing people on Halo 3 either, although I do prefer the tense feeling of having less health and the fear of dying is much more constant.

I actualy think Halo 3's gameplay is under-rated in some parts, but over-rated in others.

[starchild]

Killzone 2 is a freaking brilliant game. I wish I would have gotten it earlier, instead of listening to my Xbox 360 friends who obviously didn't know what they were talking about.

[SIX]

Thems what I call bad friends.

[Grandreaper9999]

My opinion, but all other fps's felt wrong after playing K2. I think the weighty controls and and satisfying kick of your guns is the reason for it.

[Qazdaz]

Yes that is one of the main reasons that i dont play cod4 anymore it just isnt satisfying enough to kill someone

[Chubear]

I hear you dude. You have no idea how many times I try going into cover and try to peak out when I play other FPSs now. Also, I just take other FPSs for what they are online cause if I think too much about it I'd just go play something else.

When I play R2 online it's great but it looks like a fun comic book look. When I first played CoD4 online I was amazed at the graphics but after KZ2 everything in CoD4 looks flat, lifeless and almost a weird 2D/3D effect kinda thing. It's hard for me to explain but yes, KZ2 screwed my senses up with many other FPSs.

[Bagogames]

Can't argue with that, even if it's piss shaped I'm staying clear of flamethrowers.

TOO PAWNED - Wow, you caught me! Jesus, it was SO obvious wasn't it? God, maybe I meant to make it obvious?

I actually have a question now, who here hopes Guerilla do game modes instead of maps for the next DLC? That would sort all my problems with the online. Just something to add more variety into it all. That plus a new clan that gets online once and awhile :(

[starchild]

I am pretty damn satisfied with the game modes they have now, but more would certainly always be appreciated.

[Qazdaz]

Halo 3 takes too much to kill someone. Cod4 too little. Killzone 2 got it just right

[starchild]

Exactly.

[Bagogames]

True, COD4 barely had one. (Call a chopper and your certain to end up near first) But it not open to all, you can sense a new gamer a mile away. (They shoot things to see what happens when they do, pop up on radar, then you own them)

I have to say Killzone 2 over Halo 3 as well, it's going to be interesting seeing what score I give Halo 3 then ain't it? But I guess I put it down mostly to all my friends being on PSN & the weight of the guns feels more lively. Although I am DESPERATE for more game modes.

[Boody-Bandit]

I will just leave you with this.
You're a tool and write like a 12 year old. Stay in school and spend more time studying and less time gaming.

[SIX]

I gotta eat crow on this one. For some reason it's the only FPS I keep coming back to. Hats off to ya Guerilla. Just give us customizable skins and I'll be happy :)

[divideby0]

I give the writers re-review a 6/10...

Game is at a min a 9....and the developer did listen to the community and tweak the controls which to me was a big diff. in the game for me.
Writer should go back and play COD and maybe he would realize the game is same over and over and has the similar issues of all FPS like KZ...and online COD for me is a borefest

[Bagogames]

I am openly admitting right now KZ2 is in my mind better than Halo 3 and I hold it on the same level as COD4 (I didn't get Prestiege 7 for nothing)

However, there is some universal brilliance in Halo 3...not as much as KZ2's but yes. Forge is a good example, fun as hell. Game mode variety, there more than Killzone 2's. Story...no it sucked...yeah Halo 3's story did suck quite a bit...or alot...

I think Halo's run out of universal brilliance...

Brutallyhonest how old are you exactly?

[Socomer 1979]

from your comments here i see that your kinda pretending to be a optimist & it seems like your looking for friend.

i see you wishing for more modes and just today gg put up a video showing these new power pickups which is essentially a new game mode called ownage. whats up with you dude? killzone 2 has every standard game mode there is. tdm, capture the flag, control points, demolition and v.i.p all except free for all. on top of that they have classes. you know that and here you are not even knowing what your askingg for.

im typing on my ps chatpad so excuse the spelling. halo 3 is childs play with vehicles. i like the vehicles. the ghost is nice but for a more serious challenge i run resistance 2. killzone 2 has replaced shooter like cod4 & rainbow 6 vegas and those games are hot. its matue games for mature people thats why its rated M.

what my sony soilders picked up from your article was that you was lazy. thats youre problem not killzones dont ya think? you also run with the crowd and you got zero grammer. nobody is wondering about your credibilty because you kinda killzowned yourself. stop wining and create a match with your clan. oh sorry no friends right? you need to take a walk through ps home.

[solar]

you was lazy. you got zero grammer.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh wait. that is what socomer 1979 said. my bad!! well look at that!! i didn't capitalize the first letter of my sentences. i am soo noob! what ever will we do with ppls on the interwebs!!

[f789790]

and no splitscreen. I don't need 60fps nonstop, I want to play with my friend next to me.

[Ravage27]

KZ2 ultimately did so many things right plus it pushed console gfx to a whole new level. Sure there's no co-op but the awesome clan system more than make up for it imo. The MP is really well designed and it is the only FPS that i've played through the SP campaign 6 times(damn i really love the intensity). And all this is achieved with only their 1st effort on the PS3 :)

[divideby0]

so the author rates this game the same score as BF1943.....just to put it in perspective for him.....clueless

[Bagogames]

The point of posting a comment if not reading the review is???

I dont really need a friend mate xD

I need an actual clan, not friends in real life who own the game (As that is what my clan is) and since we prefer getting monkeyed down at the Longfield Inn rather than staying in, no they're not online a lot. I play the PS3 the most out of my friends, that excludes xbox360 as we have actually lost a friend to that...literally.

Brutallyhonest I just finished college with so far an A* & B in two of my Exams, waiting for the rest and If im frank Im expecting a D in Biology...never handed in coursework :( (I blame video games for that actually) but the rest SHOULD be fine, fingers crossed.

Chubear - Dude talk about effort, lol.

Solar - They shall search the earth for our sorry hides then torture us with their prestine grammer and dubious wit. It will be hell my friend, it will be hell.

[solar]

may we rest in peace my friend....N4...er....Ps3LegHum pingG might forgive us.......

[sak500]

Since there have been many bad news about ps3 so you guys want to pick up something from the past to calm yoursevles. How about MGS4 review?

[DelbertGrady]

Killzone will never be Halo. Halo doesn't need re-reviews to grab gamers attention.

[Traveler]

God, I hope Killzone will never be Halo.

[dawgsfan117]

I own a PS3 and I would love for Killzone 2 too break sales records and get more renown because its a great game. Just not as great as people who only own a PS3 claim.

Dont bash Halo for being a succesful game cause it makes you seem like a Sony humping prick

[na2ru1]

With the new "High Precision Aim" added to the control option, there is no longer ANY lag/weight. Been playing killzone ever since.

[Kornholic]

"You must know the plot of Killzone 2 by now, due to the fact as it’s as thin as a sheet of sliced ham that came from a pig on diet."

Stopped reading after that.

[Rhezin]

PSN is at least a little safer, plus you don't have the whiny little kids yelling in your ear or team killing everyone. Halo 3 would be fun if more mature people played it, like in Killzone 2. Killzone 2 is a MUCH better game, MP-wise with people that don't get crazed if they didn't get a kill or get killed. But I guess the Halo-loving population in here likes hearing themselves talk, so there's no convincing otherwise.

[ShadowMantis]

As anyone else felt annoyed by the cpu?Like it would travel behind u and u died.

[Ray J]

that kind of cover system has already been used in the 2003 black hawk down shooter: "Delta Force: Black Hawk Down" for PS2 and Xbox.

i loved to play that game, cause it had some very smart gameplay mechanics. and the cover system in that game, for me still is to this day, the best ever to be used in any FPS. it works perfectly smooth and very percise. and oh yeah: ps2 online 32 players, xbox, think it was 50.

i don't have any video to show it off, but two quotes from some reviews i found:

quote 1:
"when inside a building behind a knocked over desk, or generally standing out in the open and peeking your head around corners simultaneously disposing of threats (one gameplay aspect that's a little interesting, since no First Person Shooters do the same)"

source 1:
http://www.gamingtarget.com...

quote 2:
"one tactic used in the game allows players to take cover and target enemies simultaneously by ducking out from behind a building corner utilizing the L2 and left analog stick pressed in the upward direction."

source 2:
