This game has the lamest name in videogame history.
Rainbow Six 3 still shits all over it.
This game LOOKS amazing. Hopefully the gameplay will hold up.
Personally, I'd rather be able to play as the guys in the screenshot above as opposed to just regular soliders. They look pretty damn cool.
Rainbow Six 3 shits all over it.
And doesn't have a stupid name.
KILLZONE - Your mother and daughters should tremble in fear! [/satanous voice]
BUY ME KILLZONE OR GO TO HELL!
KILLZONE - Makes babies cry! [/satanous voice]
I really doubt it will play like Rainbow Six, diff.
Well I think it looks great anyway. It really has a great style and atmosphere projected through the graphics. I just hope it plays well.
And so does diffusion. Man, you got nothing else to do than post this game sucks messages?Quote:

How about a bit of finesse when naming games.
I dunno. Satan-like then. I prefer satanous, though, because making up words loosely based on real ones is fun.Quote:

I'm surprised. It has a Rainbow in the name! If anybody could appreciate that around here, it'd be you. Now that there is no real meaning, the name is quite stupid.Quote:

I don't hate it because it's on the PS2. I don't hate it because its a FPS. I don't hate it because of the developer.
I hate this game because of all the Halo2 vs Killzone posts that fanboys will make in the coming months.
I don't care about either game! :)
*Stares out the window blankly, waiting for Half-Life 2*

I sure hope Grizzlebees delivers..
Rainbow 6 means this:
A SWAT type special counter terrorist group, with members from England, US, Italy, Germany and they might have had a Spaniard and some others, headed by John Clark and his son-in-law Domingo Chavez (played by Willem Defoe in Clear and Present Danger and Liv Shriver in Sum of All Fears, and the lone sniper that survives in Clear and Present Danger Respectively).
I believe the rainbow part represents the mutiple nations involved, but the 6 isn't the number of people in it. In the book, Rainbow 6, there's 2 or 3 teams of 6 dudes, I think.
It's just the name that most people call them, though they are a hidden group and not public.
Good book, btw.
killzone from what i remember is a military tactic in which trops corner the oposition from all sides which allows them to completly saughter their enemies , in killzone the game u start out in a killzone.
i dont mind the name of the game but how it plays, but the codename for this game was kin which to me doesnt sound any better
Usually, a killzone is used like it was in the first gulf war.
The terrain is divided into a grid, and each square is given over to a number of troops, tanks, aircraft and so on, and they are responsable to kill any and all opposition in that particular zone.
There's a series called 'Inside the Killzone' narrated by Michael Ironside on Discovery Channel (maybe Discovery Wings) that has a few hours of good information on the tatic.
Personally, I don't find the name Killzone to be any worse than SOCOM (Special Operations COManad, or HALO, which actually makes me think of High Altitudue Low Opening jumps rather than a ring of metal around a planet.)
So it's like the opposite of a blitzkrieg? Or I suppose a blitzkreig turns immediately in to a killzone once you land in the middle. But you also have an army coming to help you, so it's probably not the same.
It just sounds so blatant.
So. When do we get pictures of it running on PS2 hardware?
MVS did you join the Army like you said you were gonna?
It is. Did you fail to notice...Quote:

In short, good for the PS2, but pretty crappy for Xbox, GC, or PC.

Highly dissapointing day, which I'll expound upon later.
Okay, so I go to take my physical today, leave at 4 AM.
Shitty thing #1: You can't smoke anywhere, and if you go outside to do it, you have to start all over again.
Shitty thing #2: By the time I did my hearing test, my stomach was rumbling so much, I coundn't hear shit.
So, I'm worried that I'm going to fail this physical, but I don't. I pass with 1's in 5 areas (1's are best) and a 2 in sight. My eyes suck, what can I say.
After that, they make you get fingerprinted, and then talk to a counseler or, more accurately, a 'closer'. This is the guy that when you buy a car, he closes the deal. Cue high pressure tactics.
Okay, so this Special Forces Age Waiver, which was '80% likely' then 'you pass your physical you'll get it' goes to 'Denied' pretty quick. It was dissapointing, but, at the same time, I can understand. Still, since that was a certanty, I didn't pick a plan B.
So, then I'm thinking 'Okay, I'll go home, think about another job and then come back'. Ummm...no.
They want me to sign the contract today. Right now, sign.
Ummm...what? Somewhere along the line the recruiter seemed to forget that info.
From there, it goes to shit:
Can I see this contract, take it home and then come back?
No, only if you sign it.
I don't have another MOS (job), what should I do?
Just sign up for anything, and maybe you can get your waiver later.
Hells no.
Can I go Ranger?
You can go Ranger in September if you want.
Doing what?
Openings for Culinary Arts and Logistics.
Soo....cook or clerk?
Basically.
Hells no.
#1, I'm not signing anything today.
That really sends them over the edge and they start to pass me up the chain to more important Officers and closers. Still, I'm not signing up for something I don't want.
Then they tell me to pick 3 jobs I want to do, and that I'll likely get 1 of those for sure. Umm...wtf?
So, bottom line.
I've passed my physical and can go in.
I need to pick another job if I'm going to do it.
I think there's a 10% chance I'll go in the Army.
It really felt like the old bait and switch and that I was told completly different things by the recruiter.
PFC. M. Van Stone, Cook...
FUCK THAT!
That's a negative. Though, they did call me 2 times a couple thursdays ago, after zero contact since the above. I can only surmize that they are trying to call all loose ends not that the new Military Quarter has begun.

Hrm. that kind of looks like crap compared to what I thought the game was going to turn out looking like. The smoke and particle effects were nice though.Quote:
