I listened to 1UP Yours yesterday and KZ2 was mentioned for like 10 or 20 seconds. Garnett said:

It does have sensitivity tuning if that's what he's referring to. I didn't really play much of CoD4's multiplayer so I can't really say how similar it is to KZ2. But I really haven't had any aiming issues in KZ2 since turning the sensitivity up.

So it does have sensitivity tuning or not?
 
I cannot wait until 1up Yours. With Shane returning from GG studios (hopefully) and Ellis playing KZ2 multiplayer it should be interesting...
 
It DOES have sensitivity tuning, but Garnett is saying it's just not quite like COD4's. Regardless, it's such a minute issue it's not even worth mentioning. Just turn it up, and it's perfect.

It's pretty similar to COD4...

Actually the gameplay in this game is at its core similiar to the original Killzone, i.e. the same heavy and realistic feel of the player and the guns. It has been refined and tightened the fuck out of it, but those of us that actually like KZ1 can tell its origins. :P
 
Sony is a horseshit of a company. OPEN THIS FUCKING BETA ALREADY!

Microsoft releases a new dashboard update tomorrow that will change the entire console UI and what do you do to counter that? oh yeah, CLOSED Beta for HOME? :ooooooo woopdy fucking do, for a shit service that should have been released last year, and now you are finally getting to a closed beta, it's not even fucking open yet, IT'S STILL CLOSED. HOLY SHIT!

What I am getting at here is, fuck Home and open up the Killzone beta.

/rant.

I actually dont know why they bother sending Shane to see KZ2.

doesn't he hate first person shooters? He just never seems to get really excited over those games. Even KZ2.

Oh he'll love Killzone im sure. He is the biggest Sony Fanbot over there.

Just because he's a big sony fanboy doesn't mean he'll give KZ2 the praise it deserves.

I'd rather that 1up send an xbox fanboy that loves shooters to go play KZ2 than shane.

I honestly dont think he even plays these games

Wasn't he one of the many 1up staffers saying that KZ2 was going to disappoint when Sony unveiled it and that was why they decided to unveil it after MS conference instead of showing it at their own conference? They wanted to get the stink out the way before they showed the good stuff according to 1up.

I didn't even change any sensitivity setting and I usually do pretty well. I'm GLAD KZ2 doesn't have that ironsight lock-on bullshit that COD4 has.
 
He did say KZ2 would disappoint, but I don't think it's for the same reason you are thinking of. KZ2 has been shown at all of Sony's major conferences.

Late last year they had a podcast talking about which games would end up disappointing, and a bunch of people said KZ2....and I distinctly remember Garnett chiming in and say that Resistance 2 would be the known quantity because it's Insomniac, yadda yadda yadda, and that KZ2 would disappoint because it's guerrilla.

But it seems like these guys are going to eat some serious crow regarding that prediction.

I think anyone who actually gives a shit about shooters would love Killzone 2, at least the MP which is completely and utterly AFW.

I'm talking about in their pre-E3 podcast. There was a lot of speculation about why Sony was unveiling it at that time. You had one that believed that they were so confident in it that they were willing to show it right after MS unveiled the new HALO. The other side of the argument is that they just wanted to get it out the way so they could largely focus on other products at their actual conference.

Yes. Theres another location on that same map where you can make a much more impressive gif. The shadow goes from nothing to huge in such an awesome and realistic way. Very impressive.

Nothing or everything amirite?

There is such a thing as a sweet spot. ;)

It IS at a sweet spot, you dumb it down more and the map wouldn't be worth SPIT without choke points, it's like how a certain shooter decided to simplify squad play by giving you an in-game general that gives ONE squad specific objectives and isolate each squad from the others instead of letting people form their own squads, communicate and decide how to tackle a set of objectives, you would lose much of the tactical play that keeps people playing and getting better, it's not just about dudes in a room shooting at each other, it's about team play and organization. A shooter should reward skill, smarts and organization, ALWAYS.
 
COD4 feels more mechanical and gamey than KZ2.

I really like COD4's multiplayer, and played it quite a bit.
But there were a few things like Martyrdom (FUCKKKK) that pissed me off.

KZ2 is slightly more slower paced (only slightly), there's a little bit more weight to your movement and your shots, and you can kill very quickly if you aim well and use short bursts. Also grenades are not nearly as uber (rockets are though).

I don't think it would play better if it played like COD4.
There ARE sensitivity settings you can tweak (I changed them a little bit).
There ARE things that are different from COD4 that you have to get used to.

The game is fucking hot in my book and I'll buy it day one. I'm pretty floored.

I don't think it feels like KZ1 at all. And I've put easily well over 100 hours into KZ1 online.

The funnier part is when they said COD4 looks better :(

Or the part where Resistance 2 is announced with 8p Co-op/60p Mplayer and Shane busts his nut claiming KZ2 is going to be rushed out the door to make way for R2.

1up is pathetic.
 
Stillmatic said:
Fucking bullshit. I've spent about 7 hours playing yesterday/today and the stats haven't registered from the first minute. So i've been stuck on "Master Sergeant" for 7 fucking hours!

At the end of each match it says "Saving Profile", so why the fuck isn't is saving...

Last night I got promoted to Lieutenant.

It seems like before the beta the only people that thought KZ2 was going to be something special were Sony, GG and a few of us that played KZ1 and thought that it could be really amazing with extra development time and polish.

TBH I didn't even think it would be something special until I've played the beta and I was wowed. This thing is like teh kittonwy of shooters.

I'm really hoping they'll open up this KZ2 beta at some point. I can kind of understand why it was a closed beta to begin with but IMO they should open up the beta sometime in January so that it acts as a demo, kind of like what Bungie did with Halo 3 and it's 'beta' which was pretty much just a MP demo for the fans. If Sony have any games coming out in Jan they could even pack a code for the KZ2 beta in Crackdown style.

I knew KZ2 was something special the minute I saw the E3 2007 trailer.

They nailed the important visual aspects of the design that went far beyond what other devs have delivered. Considering how difficult that must have been, I was convinced that they could pull the gameplay off as well.

Looks like they have.

They probably should have delayed MotorStorm 2 until December and packed in a KZ2 beta code. Would have definitely increased sales for MotorStorm 2 (which is an awesome game, but definitely underrated and below the radar).

KZ2 is going to make the vast majority of the gaming populace eat a lot of crow.

And the million dollar question is: will this give these journalists more of a reason to point out (or clumsily make up) any blemish they can find in order to rate it down.

This game has way too much history behind it to be reviewed objectively.

February should be interesting...

Already starting the damage control? Is this a record?

To be fair the game does lack many features that have become nearly standard in first rate shooters. The absence of co-op, split screen, and proper matchmaking are legitimate complaints.

That said, the game should similarly be rewarded for its amazing technical accomplishments.
