Looks like they're really putting some extra effort into this now that they have the extra months to get it right.
Still pumped for this. Can't wait for Feb 09.

For as long as this game took to get out to the public it better be tits or else Sony will have another go of pissed of people just like Killzone 1.
Dwag @ Jul 16th 2008 10:20AM
And people say it was the right decision to promote Resistance 2 over Killzone 2. Some classes have me worried though.

Ive actually started to get excited about KZ2! I got the first one on release was was MEH'ing all over it and when Sony started hyping this one up I wasnt very impressed, but damnit.. I WANT IT!
Still dont think it should have taken this long, but hell, nice game. Still think GoW looks nicer but Id rather play PS3 than Xbox.

Test...
seedaripper1973 @ Jul 16th 2008 9:06AM
IF you ever bothered to play KZ1 'online' you would know that it was one of the best multiplayer games on the system!!! i'm sure people still play it today!!
Guerrilla certainly know how to DO online...trust me ;)

They had a trailer for this on PSN last night. It's gone now, it was multiplayer trailer. The game looks better in multiplayer than any other game looks in the single player. This is going to be the most impressive looking game ever released. Great write up on IGN on it as well.

yeah but not much I think maybe even below 100. Last I time played which was 9 days ago all I got was half ass matches with quitters and a little lag.
I think Sony needs to lower the hype train a little bit until we are in next year and i'm just saying games not living up to there hype usually worst than games that don't get hyped but yet pass all expectation.
I already know what I'm gonna be a Rifleman with the secondary Assualt class badge.
Did they already reveal the how many players can play online in a game?
MrAlex @ Jul 16th 2008 10:20AM
Primary engineer secondary tactician is the best layout f you are a lazy person
I think Im going with Assault/Tactician
jax sedrin @ Jul 16th 2008 10:46AM
So basically... TF2 classes (medic, spy, engineer) crammed into COD4-style perks... I mean "badges".
Still sounds like fun though.
iNime @ Jul 17th 2008 2:31AM
Hahahahah, you too with that TF2 'invented' class systems crap. You too are a novice.
Hashbrown Hunter @ Jul 16th 2008 4:05PM
Who cares? As long as it's fun (and as long as Guerilla avoids a lawsuit from Steam) I don't see a reason to complain.
I'm digging the little twist they put on Scout, but I hope they give him some decent weaponry.
jax sedrin @ Jul 16th 2008 4:34PM
Yeah, I agree. I never could get into TF2, but I was a big fan of CoD4, so... it should be interesting to see how much I get into the multiplayer of this one.
Jason @ Jul 16th 2008 10:46AM
These are the most unoriginal classes. Team Fortress 2 anyone?
Jason @ Jul 16th 2008 10:46AM
Those are some REALLY unoriginal classes. Team Fortress 2 anyone?
frankym @ Jul 16th 2008 10:57AM
Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!! Will be awesome!!
Ohhh @Jason: EVERYONE, from Gears to Fallout, to Resistance copies the COD4 perks system.
Menza @ Jul 17th 2008 2:31AM
Who does your fact checking? You should fire them.
Gears doesn't have perks.. Fallout 1 & 2 both had perks and they were released sometime in the 90s. Neither of them are copying COD4.
Additionally, COD4's perk system (which I love) is just an evolution of the class based multiplayer systems we've seen on PC for ages.
Matt @ Jul 16th 2008 11:51AM
Wow. I've gotta say, if done right, this could be a great multiplayer game...
iNime @ Jul 16th 2008 12:07PM
Ha hahahahaha, you think TF2 'invented' that?! Hahahahahaha, you must be new to the world of gaming buddy, lol.
iNime @ Jul 16th 2008 12:09PM
This game will piss on everyone's face and have them asking for more!
Livi70590 @ Jul 16th 2008 3:16PM
Team Fortress anyone?
Jonathan @ Jul 16th 2008 5:42PM
To above, there's a good video of KZ2 from E3 somewhere wil a guy doing an interview while people are playing the game..
anyway 32 players per match.
Phantom @ Jul 17th 2008 2:29AM
OH all the classes are tempting .
I'll be using engineer primary and tactician secondary .
kentuckyfried @ Jul 17th 2008 2:30AM
I don't care if they "steal" TF2 classes. Alot of ppl don't care about the TF2 art style...
MexicanTerrorist @ Jul 17th 2008 2:31AM
Yay! Classes!
I loved the class system in the SW Battlefront games, hopefully this will feel a bit like that.
Dwag @ Jul 17th 2008 2:31AM
@Jason
they have to get ideas from somewhere and if its from TF2 then no problem as long as they don't go adding military ranking and other over done ideas then I have no problem.
KZ2 is looking great but the Class+CoD4 perks system has to be implemented well to work though and they only got till like late january to finish the game. Not that many months if you look at it.
