All sounds rather obvious and a little boring if you ask me.

Generic even.

Or is that word just for Killzone 2?

Glad to hear there's going to be even more Hardcore modes. I loved the visceral, realistic feel of not having a UI.

It does sound like an expansion with similar content, but since CoD4 was an amazing multiplayer experience, I don't really see that as a bad thing. I hope they expand the multi-kill rewards in some way though - after the helicopter there's no reason to keep going.

Vehicles are a bit of a worry since they didn't work so well in W@W and can be really annoying in BFBC and Halo 3, but I hope IW know what they're doing.

No mention of destructible environments though. I thought that would've been a given this time round.

It DOES sound obvious... but then again, if it ain't broke...

I think it's a shame they're adding vehicles to MP though. I haven't tried WAW yet but the general consensus seems to be that the addition of vehicles is a bit rubbish.

Time will tell if they can up their game now Killzone 2's multiplayer looks so sweet.

Finally finished it single player on veteran last night, don't think I will be trying Elite difficulty....

Well to please CVG, it'll have to have massive dragons for bosses, 30 different types of multicoloured enemies and levels set in a fairground. Oh, and the developers may want to include bullets that change into penguins, which then do a tapdance on your head.

And don't use grey. Just the colours of the rainbow please.

And if they put exploding barrels in the game - woe be tide!

Multiplayer will have to include gay vs lesbian matches and a mode where you fight in a giant bouncy castle and throw shoes at each other. And a co-op mode where you hold hands and dance through the poppy fields looking for bunnies.

Oh, and finally, the story will have to be up to the standard of an Oscar Wilde novel.

I trust IW to make a great game, I just hope they can flesh out the Single Player experience a bit and of course add some co op play.

I am pretty sure you can use the word Generic for other games. It is just that Killzone 2 is such a great fit for the word.

Sounds a hell of a lot better to me, but then again I adored COD4 and MW2 is one of my most anticipated games for 2009 (hopefully), so I may be biased. KZ2, while it looks great from what I've seen, still strikes me, as a non-PS3 player, as rather humdrum and standard gameplay and story wise. *shrugs* That's not necessarily a bad thing yet when COD4 came out, in my mind at least, it refreshed the FPS genre on the PC and possibly on the consoles as well.

This sounds promising and I can hardly wait to purchase and play MW2! Very Happy

What about the SAS half of the game. In my view that was the better half of the game.

Also good to see the L85A2 making a debut.

Vehicles - Bad
Co-op - Good
Kill Cam Saves - AWESOME! Smile

I really hope the SAS missions come back though, definitely the high points of the previous game.
Here's hoping there's more to this above CoD4 than the difference between CoD4 to 5 (i.e. there wasn't much).

I thought COD 4 was awesome too. I was just being sarcastic. Killzone 2 is just as awesome as COD4 in every way. The gunplay is even more visceral in my opinion and I think it is a shame that many will miss out on it because of negative remarks about it being generic.

Seriously, the Helghans are the best enemies in any shooter. Ever. I love them and hate them in equal measure!

COD has always been a multiplayer game, the campaign maybe fun for a little while but the heart of every COD game in my opinion is the multiplayer. In terms of online console gaming theirs nothing that will top it, not even Halo or KZ. Very Happy

If it ain't broke. Sounds like the SP will carry straight on from the last game.
The vehicle inclusion was obvious looking at the grab of people playing the game that surfaced recently. Chucking in popular maps from the last game - presumably with a re-skin on some - means that if you don't like those with vehicles, you're still likely to be happy.
If they do do zombies, maybe they could do it in daylight in a desert setting and steal a bit of RE5's thunder.
Chuck in sprinting 28 days later zombies infected by some virus thingy and they'd have the Left 4 Dead crowd too.
Whatever happens, this will be he biggest selling title this year.
