I just went through 4 levels in 1 hr and 45 mins; that does not seem hard...

Then again, I did World at War on Veterans Mode...

Hmmm...

I just want some opinions.

I think most of complaining comes from the end of the game .. as you're moving up to Radec .. wait until you get there ..

Did you play the last level? I did World at War on veteran, but Radec's troops on elite were tougher imo (for a game segment that's like 5 minutes)

Radec's troops at the end. They're a pain in the @$$ on Trooper and nearly impossible on Elite. It can be done, but man I'd rather just cut myself than try that again. Plus, I kinda like my redicule. My hand-eye coordination only works when the gun is actually in my hand.

I don't even want to try that last level. I'd end up buying a new controller as I would probably end up throwing my current controller throught the wall.

The last mission is the hardest and most frustrating. the section on the train with the tank is annoying too

u kiddin me the game on elite is a breeze, but the thing i had hard time with and took me 2 days or abit more actually and others complained was when ur about to fight radic, before him the waves of enemies he sends u, wave after wave after wave, and since the AI is pretty good in killzone they freakin smart, sometimes they pull some $h1t u dont even know how they did it lol, but yea the last level in the palace is where ur going to throw ur controller towards the tv lol. and lucky for me i beat it and i wont have to go through that again, unless i feel like playin the single player again. and all i need is 1 trophy which is weekly rank # 4 and i would get a plat in killzone 2.

Well I guess it is just play style...I guess. I remember beating Fear on Extreme and people thinking that it was hard as hell, yet I found it easy. Same goes for the Mile high club on veteran. People complained so much about that, yet I had no trouble with it. When it comes to video game difficulties people will always complain. What they need to do is stop complaining and remember that it is suppose to be hard for a reason. Trial and Error will most likely kick in at one point.

Yeah and that is another factor. Some people might have as much 'Skill' as others in certain games. In other words, while you find the game easy, others are going to find it hard.

yeah, 1st time i bought Killzone 2 i chose to play campaign on elite mode, i thought it wasn't that hard until i had to fight some droid outside which took me forever, i gave up on the campaign after that cause i couldn't get passed it, so i went to online. months later i decided to go for it and here i am, 1 stage away from completing the game. I can't even imagine the last part that everyone is talking about. but once im done then i'll have to go through it again on easy mode to get all the other trophies i missed my 1st time. elite mode is brutal at times.

I have played a lot of FPS on the PS3, and I have to admit, on easy, the last level is still difficult.

elite is really easy if you are used to using cover and strategically shoot and plan movements. Radec+waves is not entirely hard, just annoying when you get so far and die just before a checkpoint. you just have to learn to adapt and change tactics everynow and then

If you really want a Hard game, you'd get Demon's Souls. That aside, rocket launchers are a pain when you don't kill them. Even on easier difficulties, ugh.

I hate hard games so I won't bother beating it on Elite. Then again I'm trying to beat Uncharted on crushing, but that's not too hard, it's just plain boring.

haha, yeah, me too. :)

Fighting Radec was fine, but the bit I kept dying at, was the bit on the upper balcony with about 4 enemies with Rocket Launchers, which literally kill you on impact. That really annoyed me.

Post what happened at Radec - it's beatable, just frustrating sometimes. They outnumber you like 100 - 1, have rocket launchers and just send wave after wave. Its horrible.

Does the new high precision mode work in singleplayer too? If so, that could of course make it a bit easier.

I stopped about mid-way with my elite playthrough. Hadn't had a bit of trouble up to that point, but apparently i need to give it another go and get to the Radec fight before I judge it. :P

Ugh, evil radec fight I think I stayed up tll 4 in the morning to beat it. I knew if I gave up I would probably never do it. I tried many tactics saving as much bullets as possible, remember enemy tactics and how they change depending on what I do. I figured I just needed to outsmart the AI, test which guns work better for which waves and figure out if I had time to throw some grenades at those Rocket guys. I remember someone saying to just run back and stay where the shotguns are and how easy it made hard mode and that it probably would make Elite mode easy too. EPIC FAIL, the enemies swarm you push closer and closer, theres no chance having your back to a wall.

It takes 4 swings with a knife to kill some of Radec's troops, any other troops and it's just 1. It's not that it's hard it's just that there aren't enough checkpoints. I'll be alive for like 10 minutes then a Helghast will get a lucky headshot on me.

I can barely tolerate normal as is. The game throws so damn many enemies at you, that at times it is really difficult to keep track of where it is all coming from, and the enemies tend to be pretty annoying with their movements and tactics as well. I couldn't even imagine wanting to play on a higher level of challenge. Normal is very nearly too much as it is.

I didn't find the first half too difficult but one of the later levels set on the train where you have to destroy a tank- that's where I gave up.

So, where are you at now? Seriously, I ll amazed if you get by the last stage with few deaths. I gave up after dying one too many time but I will get back to it soon and hopefully, I will be able to beat it. :P

Yes like everyone is saying the enemies on the last level become overwhelming, I couldn't even beat it on veteran, so why bother with elite. :P

The truth is that for an average gamer Elite is hard. Like, "smash my controller" hard.

I tried elite and all i did was revive the guy next to me and die if the Hellghast fart at my general direction...

So i just went to hard and am setting on my personaly helghast terror program. I only use my knife & nades (ranged weapons only if its the only way)

Right now i finished destroying the Arc Tower thingy...

I'm Radec Academy just trying to stay alive...good god man the AI is brutal.

So you ask "why do people complain?" Is it me or do squadmates get in the habit of standing DIRECTLY in your line of fire, gawd!

Other than that I knew what I was in for when I started Elite mode and accepted the challenge but boy am I gonna celebrate when all is said and done :)
