Maxim: 3.5/5 (70%)

They really should stick with the hot babes because they have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

Lol another overrated shooter. *Yawns*

Wake me up when it scores lower than 9 or a 10 so I can see the hilarity ensue. :D

Link please, because I cant find the actual article, just people who said they gave it that.

You know what.. never mind, my FFXI linkshell had more members then that site :roll:

The site's successor has only been for up one day, after the breakup with tek.no (Edda Media). Their archive is still not up and running.

[QUOTE="FragTycoon"][QUOTE="guezz"]Gamer.no (my favorite site; i.e. most accurate) gave it a 6/10.

so you trust a website that been up for 1 day:?

No, i value their opinion but why give this game a 3.5 and gears 2 and halo 3 5/5s? I sense Xbox bias and they are a magazine so journalists are supposed to remain unbiased.stupiddk

"Maxim also gave 50 Cent a higher score than KZ2 AND Street Fighter IV."

Point made :D.

I see this game getting a 9. I don't think it will get any higher. Looking at metacritic it seems the general consensus is a 9 out of 10 which is still a superb score. sirk1264

Definetely won't be splitscreen, but online co-op sounds possible for post-launch IMO.

[QUOTE="sirk1264"][QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] Ya I think coop would have pushed it to 9.5, but it'll prolly get a 9 here, a 9.5 would be awesome tho :PEddie-Vedder

Just found some cool stuff

Some guy made a preview of how the PSN Gamercard should look like

http://www.psu.com/Capcom-unveils-Home-creations-News--a006307-p0.php Capcom Home Creations, they look cool. Im pretty sure there will be a post launch patch for splitscreen and co-opNonstop-Madness

that was debunked sadly:(

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"][QUOTE="sirk1264"] Yea coop is big in games nowadays. It pretty much is todays splitscreen where it is pretty much needed in a console shooter. I think the omission of splitscreen also hurts it but not as much as coop. It still seems like a superb shooter though.sirk1264

[QUOTE="sirk1264"][QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] Splitscreen online MP would have been so sick =o I'm still really hyped for the mp tho, it's what I'm looking forward to most!Eddie-Vedder

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"][QUOTE="sirk1264"] What I don't get about splitscreen is that R2 has online splitscreen and that was in development for 2 years yet KZ2 doesn't have it. I'm not knocking the game but its puzzling why Guerilla wouldn't put it in after 4 years of development.sirk1264

Yeah I was hoping Killzone 2 would just overall exceed the massive amount of hype fans generated by outscoring the heavy hitting first person shooters on well known and respected reliable gaming sources. It's up there but unfortunately it's not surpassing these real heavy hitting shooters. Killzone 2 is simply a solid 9 game.

I always felt that Killzone 2 was like the underdog and that it would knock out the competition but it just falls short. But at least noone can deny how awesome this game looks because it got the graphics department on lock even if some reviews notice inconsistancies.

It's been years in the making and we'll get a taste tomorrow. Finally an exclusive PS3 shooter worth getting. My official GS hype for Killzone 2 is AAA but I welcome higher scores with open arms.

[QUOTE="sirk1264"][QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] Agreed, my guess is they couldn't put it in without taking a hit in the graphics in the MP, they probably prefered to keep single but with godly graphics. Just a guess tho, maybe down the line they'll learn some better optimization and get it in there :P I just hope it's a good competitive game, not broken, or lop sided or whatever, balanced!lusitanogamer

[QUOTE="lusitanogamer"][QUOTE="sirk1264"] I hope the multiplayer is fun but something about the constant changing in game types in real time seems like it could be a little annoying. Some people just like to play team deathmatch while others like to play objective games. At least that's what I'm understanding from the first impressions video about the game types changing in real time from one type to the other. sirk1264

Yup its up to you ... You can also create rooms however you like, ie which maps, which weapons, which game types etc. Good to know that GG did this all right. And I think this is the first time that being in a clan is gonna mean something at least in-terms of PS3 shooters (should be interesting how all the clan stuff pans with the plethora of clan support they have in the game)

[QUOTE="sirk1264"][QUOTE="lusitanogamer"]It's up to the player. You can either play Warzone (mode with changing game types) or you can play one single game type if you prefer, and if i'm not mistaken, the game host can change this anytime he wants without everyone going to a lobby.urdead18

I think I'm only going to dislike two things about the game. One is the story, which I think has no excuse for keeping the only Gears-ish character from the first game around, and pairing him with other Gears-ish characters and a Gear-ish main character. There was no room for the radically differnt Gregor Hahka to be in the game? Ridiculous to throw away such an opportunity.

Second is the lack of a cover system in MP. I know that Guerilla made that change based on playtesting, but I would have liked the MP to keep that full stop-and-pop sty/e from the SP.

If the enviorments are not just a bunch of chokepoints, then there is no issue with people turtling behind cover.
