Read thison why thier ****ing Microsoft game studios decided to kill off Ensemble

MS doesnt give a crap about the PC platform no more. Piracy is..i mean HAS killed that platform, no ones want to make games exclusively for it anymore.

Even Crytek has now decided to make console games instead, they say that the regret making crysis for PC only as so much of it was pirated and in the future they wont be making any PC only games.

The biggest name in RTS just died.

Blizzard just died what? I didn't hear that Relic and Creative assembly were shut down?

Argh. ok ONE of the biggest names in RTS just died. But IMO i liked the AOE games and AOM better than war3, SC, DOW etc.

I am underwhelmed. Aside from the score, which is a respectable 9.4, this game sounds quite generic. Indeed, had I read the review without seeing the score I would have pegged him at grading it an 8.8 or so. Servicable but uninspiring story (I believe the phrase was "it moves the action along"), poor voice acting, gun sights that "take some getting used to" (whatever that means), and some poor textures don't leave me thinking this game will seperate itself from the pack of high quality existing FPSs. I will now grab my shield. Flame on!AdmiralDan

People these days use the word generic for everything.

What your trying to say is that it doesnt do anything new? Well whats this FPS cover system i see...

Other than that, what makes this less of a FPS than you expected? According to eurogamer, the voice acting is above average, i found the story of KZ 1 to liberation to be pure win whilst other reviews and preview say that the story is great, and there are these reviewers *****ing about getting used to the more realistic body mass sytem and the way a gun is held. Also with very, very negligible pauses whilst saving and no the textures arnt poor. Thats the dumbest thing ive heard.

KZ2 is like, a collection of heaps FPS game mechanics collected over the past 10 years, put into one and polished beyond anything. Has alot more to it than Halo 3, thats DEFINITALLY for sure and beats COD4 at its own game as well.

Whats there to be underwhelmed about loL?

It DOES matter.

If IGN was SMART enough to give the gfx a 10, it would have vaulted the score up to atleast 9.5.

Its like IGA US purposely took 0.1 off so that damn HALO 3 fans can not shut up about 9.5>9.4.

Its like IGN US intentionally tried to find a spot to take away points, no matter how negligible it is so that they can give Halo 3 fanboys the upper edge in an argument.

Not that i care, cos Halo 3's SP really stunk, and I know that it is incredibly overrated.

Yea, a guy who played it, gave the gfx a score, and now looks like an idiot in the eyes of everyone else who has played it/reviewed it.

Taking 0.5 for very, very negligible pauses with that sort of visual quality when other console games that have gotten a 10 for gfx has ALOT more problem with it yet its nowhere near KZ2's...and that is just..huh..why?

Dumb move IGN US.

for all you know killzones sp could suck toAll_that_is_Man

Nah, I enjoyed Killzone 1's story to the max. Even if the game was technically broken. And LOVED Killzone Lib's to bits.

Halo 3's was boring.

But just looking at KZ2, its too bloody intense. 'The game shifts into top gear very fast and doesnt ease off the throttle', according to IGN's preview.

Of course its going to be good. According to reviews, the SP is damn fun and feels so much diffrent to other FPS's. Im playing it on hard.

Good scores, too bad Euro gamers only goes by integers..

anyways, whoever in IGN US gave KZ2 a 9.5 for gfx was smoking some sort of illegal substance while doing so. You dont take away 0.5 off gfx when the game pauses for a sec very occasionally to save data. Thats not a framerate hiccup. And you DO NOT take away 0.5 when the game with that sort of gfxfidelitydoesnt even INSTALL ANYTHING.

R2 got the high scores due to its strong co-op, split screen and 60 player MP

And Halo 3 didnt do anything new..it was Halo 2 with a new coat of paint and forge. Its single player was very 'meh'. There were many flaws with that game. 10/10 from Eurogamer for that and GTA4 is undeniably overrated.

Talking about being innovative in FPS games...can anyone think of anything new to add to FPS gameplay mechanics? The FPS cover system was something new that KZ2 brought in..but when reviewers keep saying that KZ2 is a game which takes gameplay mechanics from the past 10 years, puts it into one and polishes it beyond anything else but doesnt offer anything 'new' other that the cover system...i seriously cant think of anything that could be put into a shooter game that hasnt been done before.

Damn good game tho. I cant wait till Feb 26th.

not giving this game the highest score in the graphics department is automatic self ownage of being biased, that is the only way i see it.

Barack Obama has a Wii and is a million times more admirable than either of those people.cutmaclass1

BARACK OBAMA's KIDS

have a Wii. Without his kids, there wount be a Wii in the White house.

Can you imagine his kids ever owning a 360 or a PS3? That doesnt make sense.

Accually for that matter, can u even imagine any small kids owning/asking for a PS3 or a 360? Esp if thier female?

No, it doesnt work.

This is one of many of the reasons why the Wii sells so much, it lies in a diffrent market.

WHAT?!?!?

WHY is Ensemble studios closing down? WTH!?

WHY?

Ive been the fan of them ever since Age of empires 1, since i was a 7 year old (born in 1990).

and Age of Mythology is one of the best RTS games I ever played.

What the hell is going on?

No seriously i need an explanation on why thier closing down. If its ****ing MS doing thier stingy **** again like they did with FASA, creators of Mechwarrior and others then o man, my anger is going to make me spontaneosly combust.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....****!.
