Your thread should have been the official Killzone 2 thread. It's unfortunate that all of that work went for not.

Might be hard to get everyone from the other threads to come here lol, but this will fill up eventually... KZ2 may as well be the most hyped game this year already.

From what I understand, I don't think it has coop. I don't think it has offline multiplayer either, but it does have online multiplayer (also, I believe the cover system is removed from the multiplayer component). If I'm wrong on any of these points, I'm sure someone will be kind enough to correct me ;)

Edit: ^^^ Haha, my information is old. Apparently it just won't be available out of the box.

Nice pictures. Killzone 2 looks amazing on its own but when you compare it to a game like Crysis, you realize that it looks good but not Crysis good.

Nevermind found it.

I can't believe that they have had all of this time and they are still going to release the game unfinished.

Games are never 'docked' points for anything. So that is not going to happen.

you know what I mean. If a game is missing something that it should have it should not get as high of a score as it would if it did have said thing. The fact is that they are going to release an unfinished game

Not really. A game like GTAIV could have had coop but it didn't and it scored a 10. If coop isn't a games focus and they spend more time on making other things better then it doesn't 'need' coop. And who cares about the score, the game is what it is, just be glad it's getting coop

I don't know of many games that didn't have a patch after release. So What's your point?

most console games patches are to fix minor bugs, and the games would have scored higher if the patches had been in the original game

They missed the bugs in the review, then when the servers get bogged down or when people play the games more extensively the bugs show up. That happens sometimes, but did you notice what happened with Gears 2 and SSBB? Neither game got a GOTY nom because of their online problems that showed up after the review.

AC was an offline game? And I thought we were talking about reviews and not awards?

AAA for sure. All upcoming FPS games going to have hard time outdoing what KillZone 2 have done. All future FPS games going to be branded as "KillZone Killer."

Thanks, here's the entire text translated via google:

---------- "There is something very kaxigt with releasing a storspel in January. Nobody helped from a julrusch, for early in the year in order to remember it when årslistorna assembled. Simply a commercial dared move. The creators of Killzone 2 know what they do and it has every reason to go with your nose in the air. The game is quite excellent. While it is easy to tire of war-based shooters and with Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 in fresh memory, I have really had my dose for a while. Yet grips Killzone 2 me in the head hair, shake me and make me jump on the sofa. The initial battle is quite magical and intense maffigt, audio carpet are pressing and when my soldier SEV successful mission to destroy a bunch of rocket marksmen so I shudder. The control is nice and the surroundings are natural, raw and osminkade and it is in this Killzone 2 has its advantage compared with many other shooters: it feels more personal, easier to be you with your character, and feel with your team mates. There is no co-op, which is odd, and certainly makes Killzone 2 is not much new to the genre, but it is great enough to do without a julrusch in the back."

----------

Notice how the reviewer doesn't mention MP at all. I wonder if they played it or if the score is indicative of that.
