I think Killzone 2 is one of the best shooters ever made for the following reasons:
-skillful, satisfying gunplay that demands practice and time before you can get good
-weighted feel and movement, which some people hate while others approbate
-custom servers (other devs don't do that on consoles because it confuses some players- I am not kidding, that is why they don't have it in other console games)
-robust clan support
-class balance (assault class not withstanding because it is eliminated in custom servers)
-class abilities balance (example, the sniper required you to keep your sixaxis controller steady in order to land a shot, and his spotting and cloaking was limited.
-dynamic spawn system by way of spawn grenades, which sometimes leads to spawn camping when used by an inexperienced tactician, but turns the map into an ever-changing battlefield that causes people to think on their feet and change tactics on the fly.
-slower pace meant thikning out most of your steps, as each step back from your original direction meant a loss in position that may or may not have been worth the regression.
-gloomy, grim artstyle that at the time was very cool. -I still like those skies and street lights in Salamaun Market and Helghan Industries.
-Proxy chat: you can talk to your enemy if he is near to you; think of the possibilities after a kill or capture.
-mix modes in the same game, especially assassin, when one live player on a team is designated a target and he has to rely on his team to keep him alive for the duration of the round.
-Excellent map design: the the maps arent bf2 large, and didn't have to be: they were built for what the game is: an infantry tactical shooter.
-32 players; I know this is a drop in the bucket for PC shooters but vs. the consoles' standard 24 players, this amount is quite a luxery
There are negatives of kz2, as no game is perfect, but as you can see: the list of positives is extensive. So I am curious as to why you seem adamant that kz2, considered a gem by many ardent players, is not a good game?
