There already was quite an extensive universe backstory before KZ2 and I doubt they're going to change the events. Regarding how Visari is shown in a different light and how events are described, I feel this may be just a narrative tool to skew the story towards the ISA's perspective.
As it should. I really think people need to see how much of a bastard the guy is. All you need to see in regards to how much of a evil man he is is to look at his plan for dealing with the ISA/UCN/Earth/Vekta:
1. Utilize deep-cover agent ISA General Stuart Adams to neutralize the orbital defense platforms.
2. Utilize deep-cover agent ISA General Dwight Stratson to gain access to intelligence and lure the ISA troops out of the cities.
3. Mount an invasion of Vekta whilst the orbital defense platforms are down, under the command of General Joseph Lente.
4. Reactivate the defense platforms in time to defend Vekta against the inevitable support fleet sent by the UCA.
5. Declare the system to be under Helghast control and sue for peace with the UCN whilst the UCA is still reeling from the loss of its fleet.
6. Use the resources of Helghan and Vekta, as well as technology captured from the wrecked UCA Navy fleet, to build a Helghast fleet capable of defending the system from the UCA Navy.
7. Begin charging trade tariffs for passage through Helghast space to Earth again.
8. Blockade the Earth and strangle the UCN into submission.
9. Capture the UCN Navy shipyards and orbital defenses.
Leave Earth's population to starve to death. Build an enormous fleet and establish Helghast hegemony over all colonies.
He wants genocide. Plain and simple. While the ISA are not boy scouts by any means, they are not trying to kill off an entire race of people like he (Visari) is.
