The aiming in the game is down right horrible espically for the single player but multiplayer is a tad bit better but not enough to make the game enjoyable like your avg shooter does when it comes to this sort of thing. When you have an enemy locked on and they should be dead and would be dead in just about any other fps that I've come across but not Killzone 2. Its like your gun will purposely go out of place when you fire to many bullets too quickly and the enemy gets away real quick. Very aggravating Also, when throwing grenades in the game its just very difficult to do because first off you can't throw the grenades very far at all and alot of times they just bounce off other team mates of yours that are in front of you when they are close by. I notice that the game has some cool weapons but the gun that I found to be most effective was a light machine gun with quick reload and its nuts because you don't even get an aim aide with that gun but it easily has the quickest fire rate and is most powerful out of the machine guns. The game lacks guns but not only does it lack guns but there are no attachments for the guns. There maybe a total of 10 guns in the game. Something the game does well is the engineer with the turrets and being able to place them almost any where you want on the map but the draw back to that is you don't seem to get enough kills out of it to make it worth while. Another thing that is cool about the game is the sniper the cloak suit. Easily the best two things about the game are the multiplayer map sizes and the graphics. I can honestly say that I probably would have ended up buying killzone 2 if it was not for the way you aim the guns in the game. I realize that Killzone 2 is its own game and that it is, but it just so happens to be competing in the same market as cod 4 which is looked upon as near perfect. I like the game but I just can't continue to play an fps game that is going to screw around with the aiming to try to make it more user friendly to where you have a better chance of being killed based on how the game is rather than the game trying to make it based on skill. Another thing that easily strikes me as annoying in the game is sometimes you can't get to other parts of the map because its just one big camp fest in a hallway or something of that sort but I guess just about every fps has that at certain points. Its beyond me why guerilla would take a chance with the aiming to be more of a unique game rather than just give the avg fps what they want when it comes to such things and I think that guerilla is going to find out the hard way since they probably won't end up selling half as many copies as what they could have because of that but like I said the game could use more guns and attachments for those guns.
I enjoyed the mechanics , I felt more in contriol of my aiming as compared to a heavier aim-assist game like COD4. - which sometimes literally followed an enemy by itself at times without memoving the stick , lol.
And I'm sure some people will but there is a lot of people that don't and it won't sell nearly as well as cod 4. As I stated above if they would not have messed with the aiming I would probably have bought killzone 2. I find that with the aiming it makes it easier for the player to die and thus for the player not get as many kills as they normally would. Also, on most guns there is a low ammo count or maybe it just takes too many bullets to kill an enemy either way I find it not to my liking.
The game looked amazing so I thought it would be amazing... but in the end i just didn't liek it very much. The multiplayer was cool and first but then after some more games just realized it was complete garbage. At least the game takes more skill online but its still annoying to waste so much ammo trying to kill a guy just to have a teammate kill him resulting you getting rewarded with nothing.

so much ammo? it usually takes me about 5-9 rounds to kill a guy with the M82 (first assault rifle)
I like the aiming, since if you master it you've essentially mastered the FPS genre. Been playing this game for a while, went back to COD4 a few days ago, and I realized I became a god. 20-something killstreaked and I wasn't even trying.

so much ammo? it usually takes me about 5-9 rounds to kill a guy with the M82 (first assault rifle) I know that but when you are trying to hit a guy from a distance bullets will usually fly every direction even if you are using burst fire. then again thanks to that very same recoil headshots are ridiculously easy....
Anytime I tried to kill someone from a distance with the assault rifle that is readily available upon starting out in the MP...pretty much anytime I had someone lined up in my sights and they were not too far away and I held down the fire button it would usually come on to strong and the gun would lose its position and the enemy would escape or if I barely taped it the enemy would get hurt but would still be able to escape which makes me very unhappy.
Yes, the aiming is downright horrible and takes out a lot of the fun out what seems otherwise a decent game. I can't get myself to finish the game which I boughtat launch because the controls are such a chore. I'm not a COD4 fan and prefer games like R2 and R6V2.
I know that the economy is rough but the fact of the matter is that Killzone 2 has not even sold over a million copies in the US and I think if they fixed the aim it would sell more copies that what it has been selling. After all I would buy it if it were not for the aim. I know they changed the aim in the MP to better suit peoples needs because I can't hardly play the single player its just too slow. I know some people don't think that twitchy fps is not as realistic but when bullets can travel in a second its very reasonable for an fps game to be twitchy.
Yeah thats the sad part is that it probably will have graphics on par if not better than cod mw2 but what really pisses me off is mw 2 probably won't have those 32 man size maps that I like so I feel like the ultimate game that could and should be doesn't exist.
I hated the aiming in KZ2 because it felt like my TV was on a huge delay. I did like the use of the 6 axis for sniping though, much better than cod.

Thats another thing I don't like about the sniper in KZ2 is that you have such a limited aim vision when you are scoping someone out. Its like you have 1/4 of the screen in a small circle to work with as if sniping in KZ2 was not already hard enough.
Another KZ2 whiner, nothing new about that. I agree COD is a bit better as far as controls but KZ2 is a much better game in several areas, the controls become very easy after about 10 mintues of playing.
guerilla can have a unique fps as far as the aiming goes for all they want but if I was sony I would be pissed and would of forced them to have made changes to the aim in KZ2 to further increase sales than what the game has so far be capable of. The game is supposed to help sell consoles and I wouldn't call it a console seller till thats fixed and more people get what they want out of an fps game.

And this is exactly why Noobs play COD and not KZ2. Which is great lets keep it that way, if there is one thing I hate its noobs playing FPS. Thank god for MW2 maybe a few of the noobs in KZ2 will go to that and I and the rest of the community can continue having fun.

Well it's too late for that. How so? All it takes is a patch after all the game already does the twitch from when you use the speed burst skill.
