Money is tight. I think Killzone 2 will have well above average sales throughout the whole year.

The more I play this game, the more I dislike the controls. It just amazes me how GG could not swith the grenade and cover buttons for when you have zoom on L1. The friendly AI in the campaign isn't that great either, and I get annoyed whenever I have to go zap with the magic-healing gun.

If I were a Sony Sales/Marketing folk, I'd take that as a possibly good sign of sales potential. What I want to know is -- if you haven't picked it up, will you? Are you considering?

UK CHARTS: Killzone 2 triumph

Sony’s PS3 exclusive shooter edges Microsoft’s Halo Wars to grab the top spot in the ELSPA GfK-ChartTrack All Formats Top 40
After over three years of hype and unimagined pressure to perform, Sony’s PS3 exclusive first person shooter Killzone 2 has kept its nerve and debuted at the top of the ELSPA GfK-ChartTrack All Formats Top 40.

The victory is all the sweeter having had to fend off the advances of Microsoft’s latest instalment to its Halo franchise, Halo Wars, which begins its charts career in second spot.

Last week’s number one, Capcom’s Street Fighter IV, is forced in to third place, though it holds off Nintendo’s Wii Fit for another week as that drops to fourth spot.

Elsewhere in the listings, Professor Layton has a strong week, climbing from 11th to fifth. Konami’s Silent Hill: Homecoming debuts just outside the Top Ten at number 11, whilst THQ’s Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II slip dramatically from third to 18th.


Capcom’s Wii only Dead Rising: Chop ‘Til You Drop failed to make the Top 40 this week, making it to just number 13 in the Wii listings.

The ELSPA GfK-ChartTrack All Formats Top 40 in full (for the week ending Feb 28th):
1. Killzone 2 (Sony)
2. Halo Wars (Microsoft)
3. Street Fighter IV (Capcom)
4. Wii Fit (Nintendo)
5. Professor Layton and the Curious Village (Nintendo)
6. Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection (Sega)
7. FIFA 09 (EA)
8. Call of Duty: World at War (Activision Blizzard)
9. Ben 10: Alien Force (D3P)
10. Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo)

I doubt they change them. IMHO they are the best controls I have ever used on a console.

I really hope they don't.. if someone started a petition for GG to not drastically change the controls I would sign it in a heart beat. Minor tiny changes might be ok though.. but that's it.

How far am I in the campaign? I just
planted C4 on four pillars and blew up a building
.

Anyone else have some serious issues with the voice overs in this game? I was so annoyed at each and every actor I had to turn all VO off - resulting in a much more enjoyable experience (if only a little confusing when I can't read the subtitles in time during a battle). I loved the macho dialog of the Gears' but man, all this over the top crap with just an absurd amount of cursing is too much for me. I quit the campaign after the first 20 minutes 'cause it was too much - thankfully I poked around in the options and found the ability to turn down the VO to nill, otherwise this would have been an MP only game for me.

Anyone else feel the multiplayer controls are ever so different to the BETA? I had to put X and Y axis sens down 2 notches each for it to feel the same. I think they sped things up a little for MP, but I prefer them slower as they were in the BETA.

This is absolutely killing me. My wifi connection ocassionally disconnects me for a few seconds before signing me back in. With a game like KZ MP, it is devastating to put in 30 minutes of solid play to have it all disappear. -_-

Same thing happens to me. I was first with 50 kills and we were winning 3-1 :( didn't get any points.

Yeah. If they make the MP twitchy EVERYONE has to play it twitchy because otherwise you'll have a problem.

I played off and on over the weekend, probably an even mix between the single-player and the multi. The SP is fun but it isn't the sort of compelling experience that keeps me glued to it.

MP I like as well but I keep thinking the game isn't sure whether it wants to be a run and gun thing or a stop and pop. Maybe I just don't know how to play it yet. Right now I'm not much good but I'm still trying. I think my highest score so far was finishing second place on the winning team with ~30 points or so.

I really feel like if the game had left the cover system in multi, added in some smoke grenades and other camouflaging mechanisms, it would really be over the top.

Both single and multiplayer I feel are missing something, some ephemeral it, that holds it back from true greatness. I'm not sure what it is, but I notice its absence. It's still good fun though and I'm enjoying it. Certainly, it's a nice change of pace from R2 which I'm sick to death of. I would have loved co-op but that's neither here nor there.

I went to check my stats on the website last night and nothing showed up. Is there something I have to do or is the system still catching up from the launch?

so that's why I couldn't get the boost badge, damnit :[

and when a clan doesn't show up to a tournament it should be an automatic win, we shouldn't have to sit in the game and wait for it to end. so, so annoying.

I do that all the time. I was frantically switching weapons to shoot him and I accidentally used the revive gun. I was like "WHAT?!" when I saw the headshot icon, there was no gun icon or anything else, just the head. It was so awesome. I was just destroying that game, my teammates were good for once. I died, a medic got me up, then died from the guy who killed me, I killed that guy and revived the medic who revived me. So basically neither of us "died" and he did. :lol

It was actually working fine up until yesterday. Hopefully it'll be back in working order later today.

Some of us actually do have problems playing the game due to the controls. I'm really trying to love the game but the controls make it difficult to do so. I appreciate what they are trying to do with the acceleration curves and laborious animations for all the actions, but the delay is seriously making things unnecessarily difficult. Most FPSes I play through on hard (or "hardest"), but I'm having to slog through the campaign of KZ2 on Normal because of the controls. They are a hindrance in letting me enjoy the game.

I was just on the Pyrrhus Map and at the beginning of the game it said "Live_Feed" leaves game.

Got 70 points with only 2 deaths.

I'm getting my sniper medals now so if the map is Visar Palace or something I usually find a different game.
