So I like to play Killzone 2 online. I've never really liked shooters, though. But.. remembering back to the way the controls were at launch - before GG caved to the Call of Duty brigade in a fantastic display of fail - I always convince myself the game still has some charm to it. Besides, the graphics are good.
But it's really a lie. At the moment, cheaters are running rampant, and lag between regions is unmanageable. Meanwhile the subtle touches that made the original control scheme interesting, are all gone completely.
So the game basically is annoying, and not original any longer. It has good graphics, but that's all. The 3d model based movement and positioning is wasted, and so is the bullet- physics. And if you're persistent online, you might be lucky enough to play 1 out of 20 games without crazy and progressively worse lag.
To top it off, lots of players in the top 8000 range are cheating. It's called a "lag emulator" - and it makes everyone lag. But gives the host an advantage.
But these are the people Guerilla Games apparently listen to. So I guess the people complaining about the cheaters will get a ding across the ear, or something. And the cheaters will get another medal.
Eric Boltjes is on the case.
update: Eric on the forum -
"Well the controller tweaks later on were a direct result of feedback from the community yes... And yes, unlike what a lot of people think, controls are extremely hard to get right and are not as easy as they look. But we try to give as much options to the users as possible!"
Moron!
