The Multiplayer
Killzone 2 is quite possibly the best multiplayer shooter I’ve ever played. Thanks to its unique mission-based rounds, fantastic stat tracking, persistent unlockables and overall fun-ness, Killzone 2 is definitely going to be played by PS3 owners for years to come.

The guns feel solid and useful and the controls are exactly how I would like them. It’s fast, suffers no lag, even with a group of 20 or so playing, and it encourages people to work together to succeed.

The most innovative aspect of Killzone 2‘s multiplayer is that you can play multiple game modes within the same round. The game will start with a deathmatch varient and once a team hits a certain kill count the game will instantly jump to Assassination, then to Search and Destroy then to CTF, all without a single load screen. Compare that to folks constantly playing HQ over and over again in Call of Duty and you begin to see the draw. There’s always something new happening and you don’t need to keep changing your server to get more variety.

There’s also an extreme level of customization. Don’t like Search and Destroy? Just take it out of the rotation. You can change all the major and minor aspects of your multiplayer match before hosting, so you’ll probably see a lot of people falling into similar modes and maps, but the choice is really up to you.

Ranking up is also a big part of the multiplayer, allowing you to unlock new weapons and abilities. You gain ranks by earning points in matches, basically doing your job as a medic or an engineer or a sniper. There are also badges that will give you passive abilities such as spawning with increased grenades or ammo, and these are earned by completing certain challenges (like finishing 8 rounds without any friendly fire damage).

On top of all that, there’s an intricate clan system, tournament system and a website dedicated to tracking it all. No shooter has provided this level of community features and there’s little question that this sort of support will ensure a strong following, at least until Killzone 3 comes out.

Zitat:

Enemy AI is good as well – unlike the previous Killzone games, you'll discover a larger variety of Helghast soldiers, all of whom will use different tactics, that are looking to wipe you from the face of their planet. For example, assault troopers (the standard soldiers that people see in billboards or most video clips) will frequently use cover and attempt to take you out from a distance, while shock troopers will throw smoke and frag grenades as distraction tactics, switching to machine guns and eventually pulling out knives for close quarter strikes. There are even heavy infantry, robotic drones and other hazards that you'll need to watch out for. Because many of your battles will mix groups of Helghast together, you'll frequently need to figure out which threat you want to attack and do so quickly before you're flanked or pinned down.

Zitat:

Battles can start to feel like puzzles -- but the enemies are reacting to your actions, and not simply going through the motions. This becomes especially clear once you've been forced to restart a particular scene a few times, and you notice that enemies aren't acting the same way. If you're the type of shooter fan that loathes being forced into a particular style of play when all you want to do is shoot stuff on foot, Killzone will rarely disappoint you.

Zitat:

Perhaps most impressive of all, though, is the AI. The Helghast are smart, to the point where they're actually genuinely hard to kill. Your typical fire fight in Killzone 2 plays out like this: move forward into a new area of war-torn Helghan, the Helghast home planet, get assaulted by numerous Helghast, find cover, fight for your life. The Helghast, with their creepy red eyes and gas mask-filtered voices, aren't dumb. They use cover at least as well as you do. They flank at least as well as you do. They fire at least as accurately as you do. They use grenades at least as appropriately as you do. They retreat, they regroup, they assault, they suppress, all at least as well as you do.

Zitat von Texhex:

Joah, bisher NUR eine Steelbox :-/ Anscheinend soll aber in der deutschen Version noch was mit-eingepackt werden (ala ICO).
Die UK-Version wird definitiv Steelbock-only sein.
Hm, bin mal gespannt. Maybe werds wieder Postkarten mit Artworks ^^
Aber so oder so hol ich mit die Steelbook-Version.
Mach ich bei den DVDs au immer, dank AMAZON ^^
Sind doch nur ca. 5 Euro Unterschied, oder? (Wenn ich das richtig gesehen habe) Gefallen dir Steelbooks etwa nicht

Zitat von Vollhirsch:

^^ now you really got my ass pinned down

Zitat von Vollhirsch:

Of course mag ich Steelbooks Aber bei der UK Version, die ich mir bei Amazon.uk bestellt hab, brauch ich das nicht Schließlich freu ich mich auf das Spiel...

Killzone 3, wenn sie da dann was reinpacken, das wird natürlich in der limited Collectors Edition geholt, oder sowas in der Art!
Ich fände es stark wenn sie noch Killzone 1 als Bonus Content auf die BluRay draufpacken würden... das wäre mal wirklich sensationell! (Also natürlich nur, zum Freispielen, nicht von vorn herein zugänglich!)

Und bei Gof of War 3 werd ich die Version kaufen, die mir eine Kratos-Statue zum Aufstellen mitliefert Die geile Sau, sollte ich wirklich zu Hause haben!

Zitat von Vollhirsch:

Hab ich mir doch grad gedacht, da fehlt etwas!

Komisch nur, dass Texhex solche Sachen schreiben darf

Na, mir solls Recht sein!

SCUTTA' GRANADE


He, wieso Amazon UK? Du meinst, weil dus da billiger bekommst, oder? Weil "unzensiert" sind ja alle KZ2 Versionen ^^

Anscheinend ist die Blu-Ray bis oben hin vollgepackt :-/ Die Idee wäre aber nett gewesen, für die, die noch kein KZ1 gespielt haben. Wäre für die Story gutgewesen.

Hm, Gof of War 3?? Wasn des?
Ne, Spass ^^
Wieso, Kratos kannst doch schon längst als Statue/Figur kaufen:

Figur 1
Figur 2
Figur 3
Figur 4
Figur 5
^^
und ganz speziell für dich:
Das Kratos Mousepad
