Alright - so I'm a big COD lover… particulary COD4, althought I'm not THAT good. I'm ok.

KZ2 should be arriving on my doorstep tomorrow, and I'll be diving into multiplayer - am I going to get totally owned??? I'm a team deathmatch fan - how comparable is it to the COD4 TDM? Frantic? Slow? Opinions please?

Uh oh - I can't watch.... Here comes another CoD vs. KZ2 "debate".

No offense intended to OP. Sensible question but we've been here before and it's always "colourful"

In all seriousness though, and before the flame wars start again....

I can't say how well you'll do of course because I don't know how good you are. But in terms of enjoyment, start the game as a fresh game. If you're used to CoD then I suggest going with the Alt 2 controls since they're the closest match but from that point forget about CoD. KZ2 is a different game. The controls feel different, but they're supposed to. For example there is a slight lag in the movement but it's intentional - you're supposed to be carrying a big heavy gun so it takes a moment to start turning.

Give yourself a couple of hours to get used to it and I'm sure you'll enjoy it and play well.

KILLZONE 2 has a game play called WARZONE

this is a game that could last up to 30mins,Warzone plays out all game types in a single round. Assassination, Search & Retrieve, Search & Destroy, Bodycount and Capture & Hold.

you can search for just Bodycount (team deathmatch). one thing to remember standard game are set with friendly fire ON. yet some Bodycount have them switched off.


if you have a look at the AVF K-ZONE THREAD, CHOWYUNFATT as done a great write up explaining the online side of killzone have a look.

Yeah didn't want to start a fanboy'ish debate!

Just wondered if its similar or not - and I guess it sounds pretty different!

Is it a bit of a frag fest? Is it fast paced? Is it a bit more slow and tactical?

Thanks for the opinions!

have a word with CHOW(AVF K-ZONE) or ohh danielson (SPRAY AND PRAY) if you are thinking of joining a clan. We have a great laugh and we are all at different lv, It's all about having a laugh.

some games are organised but they are only for OFFICIAL CLAN GAMES. other times it's just a free for all at any time

Truely this is a versus thread and a fair question, its FPS versus FPS.

Killzone is nothing like COD4 or 5, in the sense of realism. COD truely does try to give a realistic simulation - its so good because its so real and the graphics are realistic. Killzone is not like this; first off the walk/run and aim is much slower than COD. Next, you'll notice the aim is quite poor on many of the starter guns.

Yes there are many weapons to earn, similar idea to many FPS games. You can only carry 2. The weapons have different abilities. But the guns are totally different. You need to paly to see. You'll develop a different gaming strategy.

Talking of strategy, thats a bonus of KZ2. Theres plenty of mission types and often requiring you to work as a team. There are gun turrets and other things to consider. The maps are huge too.

Tip; when new, your weapons are poor. Get up close to take people down, then aiming is less of an issue. Peeps seem to stand there and take it, unlike the more aware players on cod; maybe its because the controls are so sluggish on KZ2. KZ is a different game and not meant to be a simulation - enjoy it for what it is... its FUN
