Given that so many here have it I thought it deserved its own thread. Thevgpress clan anyone? If any of you are up for it I could invite you into a friend's clan who I played Killzone 2 with extensively. And then we can take over the world!

Anyway I've only played a couple of games so far. The extreme colours and lighting and faster pace had me feeling a little sick lol. I'll probably get used to it, though. Killzone 2 could be quite overwhelming online despite being pretty dark in comparison. I think the excellent gunfire sound effects make matters worse. First thing I noticed was how quickly everyone moved. It looks like it's going to mean there's more action, but less strategy, especially if you were using boost on Killzone 2. When to, and when not to really made things interesting especially during ganes like asssassination and capture the flag. Plus boosting up to a group of people and meleing them all never got old. Which is another thing: brutal melees seem to be a pretty big disadvantage if there's many other people around. Plus it was fun having three people all hitting each other over the head with their guns and seeing who died first. None of this namby pamby insant-kill knife fighting. And no custom matches? WTF! I know they're changing that, but geez...why wasn't that there at launch?

The controls...hmm, they're not as big a change as I expected. The only thing I haven't got used to yet (after two games) is the lack of auto-aim. It was a real pain in the arse on 2, but you end up changing your aiming style to use it. Otherwise the controls seem like Killzone 3's but faster. And people die a lot quicker, so there seems to be far less strategy in weapon and class selection. Oh well.

At the same time it still manages to feel quite Killzoney, albeit Killzone on LSD. I blame Bugsie.

P.S.

Haven't even played the campaign yet and I already hate Rico again.

P.P.S.

I don't have Travo, Robio (can't remember if you have it or not) and possibly Leo on PSN I think.

I am Phantom_Leo.

I don't have you on PSN. Add me!!

I'm liking this game a lot more than I figured I would.  I thought I would just finish the single player then trade it in, but the multiplayer has a hold on me now.

Because that's the good part of the Killzone series!

I played some co-op. Not as tiring! But apart from the gameplay not being all that suited to co-op (needs to be much more intense) there was one major, major problem. See if you can spot it:

You'll never get that information out of me!

I won't talk!

Ok, OK....I'll talk!

The mastermind is....

GG!

^ That cat is very creepy.

...AND you missed the best part!

For years the Ring Clan and the Presser Clan had peacefully coexisted, until the Coup D'etat of the vicious and evil Autart Travo. His tyranical rule fueled a war between the two factions that would scorch the Earth and leave members on either side Dead, Maimed or Dying.

I'm Killzoned out right now after two hours of online play.  I might be up for more punishment tonight, if you guys are willing.

Yeah, S0lid and I played a bit together.
