I am going to rant. There will be spelling errors. I'm not a stupid kid or 13. But I have to complain.
FPS is not my first choice of genre. I enjoy games that give you the whole experience, story, connection, gameplay, graphics etc. FPS don't always provide that, but I do enjoy the occassional pwn fest. I own a PS3, but am not a fanboy. I borrowed Killzone 2 for a week or two from my friend after it first launched.
I played the story mode, played online until the General Rank (before the update.) A couple of months later, I had some extra cash and finally bought the game. And I finally emersed myself in the experience. I was able to reach the new two star rank..unlock all the badges (except mission specific badges) and achieve the Valor Grand Cross (Top 1% of players.)
And I had a good time. At this point, I'm so attached I feel like I NEED to achieve commander and chief (100000points) before COD6 comes out. But OVER AND OVER again I find myself hindered by Killzone's team based gameplay.
Playing matches on maps like Blood Gracht or Visari Hammer or PRise its not a problem, but on maps like Tharsis, Radec, and Cornith. It's quite possibly the worst gaming experience. I'm 18.. go to college.. play only on the weekends. And I see these idiots over and over again ruining our teams chances of winning... if you play or don't play killzone, here are some examples...
Throwing spawn points in the middle of nowhere, or in that damn tunnel under Radec Academy.
Throwing spawn points in enemy bases, or in areas where they can easily spawn camp.
NOT THROWING SPAWN POINTS WHEN BEING BASE RAIDED!
Planting bots in side our own base.
Planting bots in long forgotten rooms where NOBODY EVER GOES.
Trying to fight off base raids by staying in the base..
Never taking alternate exits outs.
Being a medic and reviving people RIGHT NEXT TO ENEMIES.
Never shooting down bots.
Trying to hard to be a good sniper when they clearly are not.
Throwing prox mines in areas where gernade throws are abundant.
Getting in the way of ur gernades or your shots.
(AT THIS POINT, IF YOU DON'T EMPATHIZE/SYMPATHIZE... this will bore you to death).
Okay! Look.. in radec academy... when your home base is the one with the tank.. ISA I think. Every game people try to shoot you through the front exit (in that room with the tall storage shelfs and the stairs on the side.) And the entire game people try to throw gernades out that door or try to strafe across and shoot. While your in the back as a sniper or a rifleman KNOWING it takes only one guy to check that door while your other team could flank them and rape them. However people STAY IN THAT ROOM trying to shoot. And it's so infuriating!
Im not the best player. But I know what I'm doing.. I always try to throw good SAFE spawn points. Im constantly planting bots. And I can't remember the last time I had a negative kill to death ratio in a game. But i'm only one man. Killzone 2 is an amazing game it is..
but here is my problem. The makers assumed people were smart. The fact is, EVERYONE IS A **** DUMBASS. AND ITS **** RIDICULOUS. You do not want your score dependent on some 12 year old douche bag trying to shotgun on PRise.. and you don't wanna play against skilless rocket launcher abusers. You can claim that Killzone 2 is a tatical game.. its not. its a cluster **** an absolute choatic cluster **** AND IDC how good you are. The fact is. when your team is bad. it hurts your performance. You can't play how you normally play in certain situations. I don't play with a clan, but I always try to squad up.
And the fact is. You can only really enjoy this game if your playing with friends or a clan. But you'll be so frustrated sometimes its just... gah. AND THE LAG.. OMG THE KILL LAG! I can't tell you the number of times its cost me a kill because I was unsure the guy was dead. If i stop shooting he might get me, if I keep shooting someone else will get me! And im familiar enough with the mechanics of the game to time it just right but not always...
AND THE SHOTGUN! ooo the ridiculous range of that **** shotgun! ITS UNBELIEVABLE SOMETIMES.
Next HUGE flaw with Killzone. BASE RAIDING. I don't care if im doing it. or if its being done to me. ITS not how the game should work. They should have made the bases safer. Given them all ammo crates. Made the base bots super strong and indestructable. That way when they are rushing in on radec. they don't make it through. If not that. Limit the Spawn Points.. instead of a time limit. Make it five players to spawn there and then it goes away. Or make only squad based spawning. Or make certain areas off limits. IDK!
Okay... I need to stop. I'm not bad at the game.. I'm not. My best is 66-22 on Tharsis (20 min 16 player bodycount). My best pistols only is 51 - 18 on Radec. Killstreak of 18. KDR of just under two. Hundred hours online. 33000 points at the moment or so. Most badges... and the honor ranks..
Do you guys sometimes feel the same way? Is killzone 2 multiplayer REALLY that impressive.. the fact is. I played COD4 today for the first time in months and months. and I loved it. Team barely makes a difference if your skilled enough. (I KNOW THAT APPLIES IN KILLZONE ALSO! BUT NOT AS MUCH, IT DOESN'T)
*I apologize for spelling errors. Its about 4 am. I just logged off PSN. I was literally put on a team where everyone had a negative KDR. There were two spawn points in our base. and I spawned to my death three times before quitting. OH and Killzone 2s balancing SUCKS BALLS. They should incorporate peoples stats into faction balancing. NOT just random assignments. AND PUNISH PEOPLE FOR QUITTING.
GODDAMNIT. again sorry for spelling or other crap. Im not proof reading. If you wanna be a douche and find mistakes and point them out fine. But chances are.. i'm smarter than you. And that helps me sleep at night. oh and btw. If your someone who always plays as assault and does the get kills get killed thing. OVER AND OVER. There is a place reserved for you in hell. Right next to prone campers in COD4.
