Go figure?

The main characters in Killzone are Bland, they show no character development throughout the story of any of the games and their speeches are dull, uninspired etc...

You see the fans of the Killzone games with Hellghast Key chains, the Hellghan helmet /mask, the Hellghast action figures, wallpapers, theme, avatars on the forums. Everything.

I'd dare to say that the biggest request from fans of the game ever since Killzone 2 has been a Killzone campaign played from the perspective of the Hellghast, at least partially, instead of a full ISA campaign with Sev, Rico and... well, the rest.

Agree or Disagree?

Sort of agree. I mean story wise it would be cool, but I want to be shooting the Helghast. I love them as enemies lol.

Amazing artwork and character designs for the Helghast is what attracts me the most. Though even their background story is pretty damn cool. Not to mention that Visari is one good speaker haha.

Well the ISA is kinda boring. They look like regular soldier dudes, nothing special about them. The Helghast on the other hand look totally badass.

Because the ISA characters are just boring as hell, I hate Rico and I really don't care about Sev.

The Helghast are overrated. Just space nazis that actually happen to fighting for a just cause.

People do realize the helghast are the good guys when it comes to the story of the Killzone universe right? Head over to Killzone.com and read the story synopsis.

This. I always thought the Helghast were just a bunch of space nazi dudes who wanted to take over the other planets. Then I read the story on the site and realised we're actually playing as the bad guys.

The speech at the beginning of 2 got me wanting to fight for em. I wish they would have in killzone 4 both campaigns. Have a hero for i.s.a and a hero for helghast and then choose one or the other at the end. At least let us see both sides of the war better.

As most people said, the ISA soldiers aren't very interesting (bland is the word) and they do not seem like the "good guys" at all. The Helghast are actually fighting for something.

Me too, its takes a very good game for me to root for the good guys instead of the bad guys.

The Helghast are the good guys.. They ISA are attacking Helghan. Wouldnt we defend Earth if someone started attacking it? Besides the Helghast are far better charaters.

Well , the Helghast have people whom would willingly kill their own to kill MORE of their enemies , have a really awesome suit and have a more realistic personality in warfare.

Whilst the ISA are full of self-righteous heroes whom swears in just about every line , lacks a concrete personality , annoyingly bland even in scenarios which are supposed to be emotional ( I feel nothing when some of the ISA characters die. Not even a tingle. ) and heck , I'd rather choose some underhanded villains than some stereotypical heroes you see EVERYWHERE.

I would love a helghast campaign. To me the main characters are lame (sev is a decent character, just not good enough for THE main character). I hope they kill off rico soon. The best character in the whole series is non existant anymore aka Hakha.

He was awesome. They should bring him back and have him work undercover or something for the Helghast. That would be awesome, and we would have a Helghast campaign(more or less anyway).

Ya that would be cool if he was working undercover for the helghast all along, and killzone 4 featured him as the main character as the protagonist for a helghast campaign.

Agree with you. Besides there's a Helghast in the game cover and not the ISA so that should say something.

Just everything from their name (Hellghast, hehe, it just has such a deathly ring to it) to their memorable look make them so much more appealing than your standard I.S.A. unit. But I agree, if the next Killzone has a Hellghast campaign in it, I'll immediately buy it on day 1.

People do realize the helghast are the good guysFightingfan

Well, I wouldn't say good guys(look at what they do to their pows)....I see them more as victims just defending themselves. They just happen to have a few Wackos in key leadership positions. And I have to admit that every since KZ1 , I prefer some Hellghast weapons over the ISA.
