Seriously the visual downgrade from SP is minimal. I'm very surprised as well. Whatever they chose to downgrade, they chose wisely because it's not significantly noticeable at all (I'd assume it's mostly the MP map textures)

the SP seems to have more effects going on but i actually like the MP graphics better as it seems to have better anti-aliasing or something else that causes less jaggies, not quite sure why.

Anyone know if it's possible to pick just one game type in offline skirmishes with bots, instead of it going through the entire rotation? Doesn't seem like it really allows you to change any settings in skirmish except # of bots, their skill level, and the maps. Is it possible to adjust anything else?

Killzone.com is down?

Killzone Command Center Unavailable

Communications with the Command Center are down! Our technicians are working around the clock to re-establish contact. This may be the result of a Helghast attack, or the fact that the website has recently received a complete overhaul. We apologize for the inconvenience and will have the Killzone Command Center back online as soon as possible.

wow a bit strange playing on local American servers where I'm the only one laying turrets, oh well got my turret badge :)

Regarding the camera POV, maybe Guerrilla staff are shorter on average and that's why it is where it is? Being not gifted with great height myself it totally feels natural to me :D

This. It's not even that hard - just less forgiving. When you die, you know you fucked up somewhere.

I'm at the last level now, holy shit that previous level and cutscenes were epic.

Does anyone else love shoving their face into the steam shooting out of pipes? I love the steam and the hiss it makes. I can almost smell it. Everything in this game is just that stimulating. Siiigh.

Anyone wanna trade halo wars for my copy of killzone?

Kidding, I need some help though.
How the heck do kill that flying thing with the rocket launchers? I was split up from my team and the damn thing shoots me instantly (on a roof top) Or am I doing something wrong?

what what, Kotaku review says

"Story: Killzone 2 isn't a game you buy for its plot, so I was surprised to find myself enjoying the relatively light touch of a well-written story sketched across the game's campaign. When the end does finally come, it delivers a subtle look at the complexity of morality in war, without getting too heavy-handed.

Pacing: Killzone 2 is a tightly-paced shooter that walks gamers through an eclectic mix of levels in an experience that comes in at just under eight hours. But it's also another one of those games that, because of its relatively short length and its perfect pacing, can feel more like a movie or a book than a game."

which is basically the opposite of every other review?

Killzone 2 does an even better job than Mirror's Edge at making you feel like you're actually in the game from a physical standpoint. I don't think I've ever played a game where my character felt so.... grounded in the game world, like he was actually a physical part of it. It's literally the polar opposite of something like Fallout 3, where your character feels very disconnected from the game world and it feels like you're just floating along.

Whoop. Just got my total combined best mission times under 2.5 hours. I think I'll stop there though as getting faster times will be frustrating more than fun and for some odd reason it wont update my final mission time (which the first time I did it was not exactly quick! :lol )

Holy shit, there is a video strategy guide. Well fuck me.

Managed to finish the game just now.
Final shot of Sev on the steps with all the Helghast ships overhead is pretty epic.

I actually have a easier time aiming in multplayer than sp. I think its because guns are switching so frequently in sp that you have ot really get used to each one.

Ok I take bback most of what I said now.
All it took was to find a server with no LAG. I thought that might have been the problem.
It also made it seem like there was alot more recoil than it really was. I mean there's a tad bit more recoil but before that shit was outta hand. I'm back to bussin heads wide open :D

Hopefully there's alot less lag as time goes on. Servers are probably under heavy load right now.

w00t!
Finally had fun in multi!!

Just got the game a couple of hours ago. Single player campaign is pretty goddamn derivative so far :/
Click to expand...

The SP's allure comes from the gunplay and the enemy A.I. There aren't wildly different set pieces or anything, at least so far in my playthrough, and I don't think there need to be either (though there is apparently a pretty big environmental change at one point). The game's campaign is much more in the vein of FEAR 1 than Half-Life 2.

I'm tempted to go to a store and pick this up tonight and then just return my Amazon copy to the store when it finally arrives.

This is fucking bullshit, the past 3 games I've been doing really well (top 3) and midway through EVERY game it errors and boots me out = no xp. WHAT THE FUCK! And each time I got a different error code! Utterly ridiculous. The lag seems to be getting insane too, people jumping around everywhere, I even saw one dude standing in mid air way out over some water.

FIX THIS SHIT GUERRILLA!
