Wie ich mich auf das Game freue :aargh: 600 EUR für ausgegeben und nach 4 Jahren kommt es nun endlich :blushed: Ich hoffe echt, dass der Multiplayer-Modus einschlägt wie eine Bombe, eine große Community mitsamt vielen Spielern heranwächst und vor allen Dingen das Spiel auch auf Dauer gut supportet wird.

Mit sicherheit siehe Warhawk oder auch Resistance^^
 
WHEAT RIDGE, CO – Commuters on I-70 gawked at the massive bonfire that lit the night sky over the highway yesterday evening. The fire, built by the Wheat Ridge High School AV Club, burned into the witching hour before WRFD extinguished it around 5AM this morning. At the bottom of the fire pit, a surprise: local firemen found two-dozen smoldering Xbox 360s, repurposed as kindling, which had fused into a glob of smoky white plastic.

George Robert, the eighteen-year-old President of the Wheat Ridge High AV Club, took responsibility for the ceremonious burning, calling it a “statement piece.” With field reporters and onlookers forming a half-circle around the flames, Mr. Robert set the stage for a call to arms not just for gamers, but, in his words, “self-respecting citizens” across the greater Jefferson County area.

“The time is now, destroy 360s we will,” preached Mr. Robert to his fellow club members and any receptive passerby.

When asked what inspired the pyre, Robert responded with stern brevity, “Killzone 2.”


Many game analysts have labeled Killzone 2, a first-person shooter for the Sony PS3, one of the consoles final bastions of hope. As such, some die hard fans of the Sony brand have invested their dreams, aspirations and will to live into the title’s release this February.

“Trepidation, we have it not. The best shooter ever, Killzone 2 will be,” said Mr. Robert, enigmatically continuing, “Nay. Best. Period. Game. Period. Ever. Exclamation point.”

Another club member, David Smithyman, gladly shared his two cents on what makes Killzone 2 different from other video games. “Yeah, I, like, played a burned debug copy. I can’t tell you where I got it, but, like, man, in the first level I found a valve, and, like, I turned it with the controller’s Sixaxis,” said Smithyman. “It was, like, totally like turning a valve in real life if, like, the valve was, like, shaped like my controller,” Mr. Smithyman went on, his words degenerating into muddled tongues.

While the bonfire may seem like a flash in the pan for the Wheat Ridge High AV Club, they aren’t ready to relinquish their fifteen minutes of fame just yet. Plans to storm the local Best Buy, a popular nationwide consumer electronics store, and take hammers to any remaining 360s and Microsoft demo kiosks were announced by the club in an open letter released to news outlets today.

“It’s our duty to the public. We must ensure the consumer experiences, first hand, Killzone 2’s innovative gameplay. All other options, all other distractions, must be terminated. Only one thing is important. Two words. One letter. ‘Lean N Peak,’” said the letter.

When contacted, the local Best Buy gave no comment, but the Wheat Ridge Police, ever precautious, have assigned an additional squad car to the shopping center parking lot. The car’s two officers will be on hand to provide additional safety and answer questions; they will be located outside Linens-N-Things.

The Xbox 360 is a video game console by Microsoft that many financial analysts expected to sore this fiscal year despite the economic recession. The console is a direct competitor with both Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii console. The 360’s hard plastic shell, designed to withstand overheating, reportedly made poor bonfire tinder, but the Wheat Ridge AV Club’s persistence (along with 4 gallons of gasoline) helped them coax a steady flame.

AV Club Pres. George Robert: Censor or Visionary?

First Impressions: Killzone 2
Posted by: Chuck at 1/27/2009 10:40 AM - Comments (0)

More On: Killzone 2 Sony
First things first,Killzone 2 looks amazing and raises the bar for graphics in a game. Period, end of discussion. I'm sorry Gears of War 2, it was a nice ride while it lasted but you're now number 2 on the list. Killzone 2 does falls just a few yards short of the pre-rendered footage from the 2005 E3 presentation but it meets and in some places exceeds the graphics that Sony showed off at E3 this year. The level of detail and fidelity raises the bar for the entire industry in terms of realism and quality.

Of course pretty levels wouldn't be anything without solid level design and the game features that in spades. Sure the game is linear but you don't really feel the invisible hand of the designer most of the time as most of the levels have multiple paths through them and there is usually one or more ways to get through a level or approach a problem. While the game is mostly confined spaces and building there are enough wide open spaces to keep the design interesting and to keep you motivated to finish the game.

We've seen pretty graphics and bad gameplay in games before and I semi-expected Killzone 2 to fall down a bit in the gameplay and the controls department. This was a bad assumption on my part as the controls and the plot line are excellent. Those expecting just a pretty face are in for a treat as the game delivers a very action movie like experience (I'm borrowing an analogy from Shawn Sines here). The action is mostly non-stop from the moment you put boots on the ground and for the most part you'll be moving from firefight to firefight with only a few breathers here and there to break things up.

You play Sev, a member of Alpha Squad, an elite member of the ISA army that is invading the Helghast homeworld at the start of the game. Things go south quite quickly when you learn that the Helghast have a secret weapon that allows them to channel the natural resources of the planet as a weapon (somewhere Al Gore is cheering). While the plot of the game is mostly standard fare it’s the interaction with your squad members and the pacing of the game that really shine. The game does follow a few of the standard shooter stereotypes but changes the pace in a few spots to which helped increase my enjoyment of the game. I do wish they had provided a little more history of the back story for those people (like me) who hadn't played the first game or the PSP game as I felt like I was missing a few things. A brief add-on to the start of the game explaining why the two sides were fighting and the events of the first game would really have helped set the table a bit more.

Another thing that really impressed me about Killzone 2 was the excellent new cover system. To take cover you click the L2 button and Sev latches on to the nearest cover or crouches (sometimes both if it’s low cover). To shoot over cover you push the right thumbstick up and he aims around the cover. Moving left or right while in cover strafes you left and right and releasing the thumbstick immediately drops you into relative safety. It takes some getting used to but once you master it you realize the simple genius behind the system as you move from cover to cover. Cover is a bit more natural than in Gears of War 2 as the game doesn't throw up magic cover barriers in all the levels. Jumping also takes a little getting used to as it’s a little floaty, it’s not as floaty as Halo 3 but it does take a little getting used to.

I can’t tell you about the best weapon in the game quite yet but I can tell you that the flamethrower in the game is the best one ever put in a video game. Not only because the fire effects in the game are so fantastic but because of how effective the weapon is. Instead of your straight flame the flamethrower shoots out burning napalm which you can arc over cover, igniting anyone and anything that’s hiding behind it. You don’t get a lot of chance to use it in the game but it’s a ton of fun watching Helghan soldiers running around on fire….bright beautiful fire with corresponding smoke and particle effects.


I played through the game on the Normal setting and the game which provides a decent challenge. The AI does a good job of reacting to you and re-acting accordingly. There are enough troop variants to keep you interested and each has their own AI tactics so you'll need to assess not only your surroundings but the type of troops within it. Your teammates are useful as they intelligently take cover and actually work with you on taking out Helghast troops. They are semi-mortal though and if one of the other members of your squad goes down you will have to go back to heal them. It happens enough to be realistic but not enough to be annoying.

From what I’ve seen in the game I think Killzone 2 is a game that’s going to wow people. The game isn’t just a pretty face but a complete experience that rivals almost every other FPS on the market. It’s been a while since I’ve played a game that I’ve enjoyed quite this much. I think people are in for a real treat when the game ships next month. Expect a full review next week when the embargo lifts
