Reasons why KZ2 is dumb in no particular order

1) The controls are dumb. You get used to them but they never stop being dumb, and every control scheme they offer is a different version of dumb. If you like their controls it is because you are dumb.

2) The weapons suck. The gun sounds are good, but the weapons themselves suck, almost without exception. They don't kill fast enough, they take too long to reload and the sights are shit.

The lightning gun was ok. I liked having a weapon that was infinite ammo and basically a one shot killer. Oh, wait. I already had one of those. It was the knife. At one point early on in the game when I was too disgusted with the guns I decided I would play with the knife. I killed every bad guy in that level with the knife. I never died. It is a more effective weapon than any gun against the regular dudes. You can take down like three guys in two seconds just by swinging your knife around in a group like a retard. To kill the same dudes with any of the guns you'd have to go through 4 reloads, hide, aim, run around. Against tanks and heavies and those stupid flying things you have to use the sucky guns. So basically I played the game with the knife until the game made me not use it.

If you like the weapons in this game you are dumb.

3) It is ugly. I don't care what your stupid sci fi excuse is I'm tired of ugly worlds. There doesn't seem to be a unifying architectural or artistic aesthetic to the world. Occasionally some area will obviously be Nazi but other than that it is one generic killbox after another.

The graphics are good but so what.

4) Why does the game never explain why I'm a midget? Is the ISA or whatever military force I'm working for so hard up for dudes that they're drafting midgets? Everyone in the world is like a foot taller than I am. I feel like a crazy knife wielding maniac midget.

5) Your squad mates suck and are stupid and useless and never say anything interesting or funny and wait till you're half way across the map to fall down and start whining how you need to come back and help them and I'm like dude I just killed like 30 guys with a knife and I'm three feet tall you're 6 feet tall and have a machine gun and three dudes punked you what the fuck and of course they never help you when you get downed because they are stupid and useless.

6) FUCK YOUR MOTION CONTROLS MOTHERFUCKER.

7) I was going to make comparisons to Gears of War and Call of Duty in this but I decided that is unfair to those games. Prey was a better shooter than Killzone2 in every way. That's right, KZ2 isn't even in Prey's class.
