All we need to know now is about the leveling system and ranks... assuming there is one. I know some people don't like the +10 xp stuff in COD4 and Battlefield Bad Company, but I just think it's so damn satisfying and rewarding. If they implement something similar to that, I'll be ecstatic. In BFBC, you get points for dropping med kits and repairing vehicles as the support class... shit like that really gives people an incentive to help out their team. You get the same amount for healing a teammate as killing someone (+10)

these games are at the point where they don't NEED Sony's conference- I had always seen conferences in general as a way to offer a platform to "get the word out" etc. - KZ2 and MS2 can stand on their own, honestly. People are gonna talk about them regardless of Sony's conference- like so.

Graphics look amazing as expected, shooting looks intense, etc. I wouldn't kill Golem though. He is right in that the map design does look very horizontally focused and doesn't seem to feature much in the way of interesting variables to mix up the firefights. (unlike the game depicted in his avatar- a source of contention here apparently, although I don't really see why. It's perfectly feasible that one could prefer what they're seeing of Gears 2 while still considering KZ2 generic- the games are going in different directions after all.) It's still way too premature for me to pronounce any kind of judgment, though; I could just see where one might get that idea.
Badge idea is interesting, but I kinda wonder if all these ideas built on compromises are getting it. See Resistance's health system for example- in an attempt to placate (and this is assumption on my part as I can't see any other reason for it) those calling the shield system "too easy" while still including that feature of almost every modern fps, they went halfway, nullifying the whole idea behind the design of the feature (freedom to make every encounter life or death) and forcing themselves to design the levels with health packs at just the right spots as if they hadn't included the feature at all. It totally shot the design in the foot.
The whole reason I bring this is up is that I feel this mix and match your own class is a very similar design choice in that tries to please two different crowds- those who like the idea of a dedicated role to play as well as those who like the idea of customizability- and it might suffer a similar fate. (Watering down the one while still requiring all the usual concessions for the other.) But, like the map design, this is really too early a call. The concept is, at the very least, intriguing and it does do a good job of giving this game its own hallmark feature to lay claim to in the mp space.

Actually looking at those shots it's the use of post-processing and filters and motion blur etc that makes it look so good. From technical standpoint I think it's not that special when compared to Bad Company for example.
Was the 32 players confirmed? I would settle for even less because I think KZ should approach MP with more intimate way... it somehow fits better with those visuals and the way the player moves and animates.

Not really.
The gaming information that the general community gets is based on a summary of the whole of E3, as well as specific previews for games that the mags/sites demoed.
Now for people like us, that watch every move that is made ... we end up seeing all this stuff anyway.
OT:
Once again, since most people to whom this may matter are in this thread, coming next (in 10 mins or less) in IGN's Livewire, a Motorstorm 2 interview/demo:

If you want to see it check it now, lest they start early.

Yes! Wolfenstein ET was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the video.Bad_Boy said:the mp classes remind of a mix between wolfenstein:et and call of duty 4's perk system.
i dont think you can get a better mix than that.

Because all those "post-processing fx, filters, motion blur etc" barely require a cycle from the hardware, right? *rolls eyes*

Yes this! Including this and all of the other features in the game will make it the perfect shooter.-viper- said:
