For sure. I played multiplayer with the bots all the time. I probably logged a good 500 hours into it.

Now, just to brainwash sony/bribe them into making a good PC port.

Gameplay looks nice.

Although I see a ton of motion blur and depth of field used. Not really pretty.

And call me crazy, but I think Call of Duty 4 looks better. Play the mission "Armada" and you'll see what I mean in the beginning.

I hear ya. I personally cannot wait for this to let people down...if only to stop hearing about it. The maps are EXTREMELY dark which means they can focus all the rendering power on the players and the weapons but the textures look VERY MEH.

The first KZ wasn't even that great, and the only reason the second one got any praise was because of a video ran at 500% speed (after rendering) showing off some amazing footage that was false and didn't even 'look' as good as Crysis.

They touted HAZE as the 'end all' in gaming and that was a HUGE let down with graphics that looked marginally better than something off of the original XBOX. Resistance 2 got the same comments about the graphics.

This game better have some STUNNING game play because we all know the graphics magically wont be as good as we are seeing. I am calling 'Haze factor' on this one

I'm surprised you were able to put Halo down long enough to post that.

Actually in order to type, I put down my Lachesis

We heard all sorts of BS hype and movies like this about Haze...isn't that in the bargain bin already?

Oh, BTW, Halo was a sub par shooter at best. Nice name-drop though.

*edit*

I sincerely hope that you do not think that every negative Sony game post revolves around the 360 or the Halo franchize. That would be sad if you did.

Wow, how nice of you to hope that a game lets people down so that they have wasted there money. How nice of you to wish upon the hard-working developers that their game fails, costing them potentially millions of dollars and tons of hard work. And "they" touted Haze as the "end all" in gaming... when you say "they", you mean the developers of the game (who are not a reliable source for criticism on their own product, mind you)? Or do you mean the same people that wrote the articles about Killzone 1, who said that Killzone was intended to be a "Halo killer", even when the developers said themselves that the game was never intended to be so?

And I personally don't see how one can comment on poor textures in the video shown, considering the low resolution of that web player. I personally think that, after looking at their "HD version" of the video (which is still probably a low-res video expanded, making it grainy and low-quality), the textures seemed like they might be pretty good, but it can't really be shown that well through that web player.

I just don't like when people something down without even giving it a chance.
