Talk:Killzone (video game)

Untitled
It would seem as though an american wikipedian has created this entry. Here in Europe, and indeed in Australia, Killzone is a fully functional online title, and I feel that this more than makes up for the slightly upsetting singleplayer. However, seen as this fact does not apply to a large amount of people I have not added it to the main page. WASTREL 14:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

ISA stands for
Does anyone know what ISA stands for, becuase its an abbreviation for somthing?

ISA stands for International Strategic Arms. Zach L. 04:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

For anyone that might be curious, in Killzone: Liberation, "ISA" was revised to "Interplanetary Strategic Alliance". Aidolon 03:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

IS IT ME...
Sorry but the level of English in this article simply sucks in areas. Its like some fanboy edited it to make the game look not so bad. Either way, requires major clean up.

weapons chart
it would be a good addition to include a weapon chart with data and fairuse pictures, it was done in Perfect Dark Zero, so there's no lame excuse for removing pics. i'd like to do it myself but i have no time actually. Cliché Online 00:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

neutrality
always wished to edit this article, now it looks better. there's this reaction section which is non neutral and a negative POV. what are supposed to be "reaction" or "criticism" sections if not not POV... always disliked the use of such non-encyclopedic review-like sections. there is no source for backing a supposed "non-existent AI" (added the AI data sheet against this critic a while ago) and most of the critics are illegitimate. "random game crashes"? must be joking? this is not a windows based soft (i play the PAL version on hdd and i had never experienced such issue). i only experienced random crashes during online game when loading a map, but this has nothing to do with the game program. the only offline mode bugs i have experienced (i played a lot finishing the 4 different scenerii) are actually sound effects disappearing in Dolby Prologic mode in some heavy maps. Other critics are bullshits, non existent AI? i agree about the allied stupid NPC AI not at all about the ennemy AI!! always played in hard mode (60hz) and found the helghast to be smart, when the player is hidden an helghast base soldier group often split up in small unit squads to investigate, it was actually impressive to experience this for the first time (in the first level, after the trenches and before entering the ISA base, there are two armoured transport vehicles arriving, before they came talk to the officer in the ruins and just run into the building in the other side, hide there and use the sniper, you'll get what i mean!). critics about poor handling? dammit with an adequate pad edit the handling is just better than in Halo and Halo 2. Actually the handling in Killzone is faster (more intuitive) than in Halo 2 (test it! set X+Y axis speed to max in both games and try!! whose the faster? whose game has the best handling?) also there was a rumor in european famous game review sites claiming testers had buggy beta versions hence many bug reports that were fixed in the market release. how could this game be so bad with the game being a greatest hits in America and Europe despite its "Mature" rating? this negative critics are unfair. i'll edit this article as soon as i get time.

I hesitated on removing it as may be original research, so I added citation needed notices. Is this a reasonable action? Merc25 06:01, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * i have replaced my "POV article" template with a lighter "unreferenced|section" one. before removing the reaction (or "criticism") section i think it should be fair to compare with other articles like Halo etc. if there is no section in these articles so there is no reason to have a such non-standard section in killzone. using web sites rating is not a good idea as this is not encyclopedic. actually only (legendary) weekly famitsu notes are mentionned in game articles in the trivia section or intro paragraph but i can't remember a section based on web sites rating, wikipedia articles are not supposed to look like gamespot reviews. the whole article need clean up as the negative critics (POV) is strong in this article starting from the very first lines. i'll edit this article (weapon chart, NPC characters, etc) when i get enough time. Cliché Online 19:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

some rearrangement
I did some rearrangements of the article. I merged the introduction section with the actual page introduction. I also moved the story and character sections up. I thought it odd for these two to be so low.--KrossTalk 10:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Rotten Tomatores rating should be taken out
They classified even "...currently the best First-Person Shooter on the PlayStation 2." as a "negative" review - overally, only 21% "positive" reviews (very, very strange rating). --HanzoHattori 01:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

That would definitely be just a weak stab at the PS2's game lineup. Out with it. JesseZinVT 23:07, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Glitchy ragdolls?
Proudclod of the Playstation.com forums mentioned ragdolls, but they glitch. Should that be mentioned?

CGI OR NOT?
In the KILLZONE(PS3) Article it says its CGI. Sony, themselves said, the Killzone PS3 demo is in real-time!

What about a list of enemies?

Cheats and Glitches?
They have no place on an encyclopedia page. They're poorly worded and glitches are most certainly not supported by the developer; I've removed them from the article. Gaz 09:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

they can be reported to central station. unfortunately a few heroes (names not mentioned) delete this usefull weblink-address in the article without giving any reason for this behaviour. 217.87.88.6 14:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It's link spam. It's a third party site unaffiliated with Sony. My name is Fin. Fin©™ 15:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Better Pictures
Is there any way we could get a picture of Luger with her mask off? 70.100.226.157 19:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

This article is biased!
Excuse me, have Xbox and Halo geeks been taking over this article or what? All this article does is hound the game. The controls are not jumpy and the framerate does nnot go funny either. Unless you're talking about the online mode of which I have not played. But the offline definitely hasn't got these problems. If you are talking about the online mode in particular, please state. You should also collect information on the good points that reviewers liked about the game. Remember, just because some of you like Halo better, doesn't mean you can give this article ALL bad opinions on Halo's 'rival'. Archy 09:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Ridiculous! I can accept most of the stuff but claiming that Killzone sold well because of the Halo-Killer hype? That's just not right. Any way, the whole thing should be expanded with pages on the three prominent generals in the game.80.127.21.134 12:31, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Major cleanup needed
Where to start? The article is biased, focusing on the game's shortcomings and leaving out or only mentioning briefly the good aspects of the game. There are WAY too many Halo comparisons and not enough praise for the game's presentation, art style, storyline, and realistic weaponry. Also, I was greatly displeased to find a "Weapons" section in this Wiki article. The list of weapons is well-written and detailed, but belongs on a Killzone GameFAQ, not here. We need more that Halo fanboys editing this article. I would have deleted the entire weapons section myself, but it looks like someone spent a lot of time and effort in writing it...either that or they cut and pasted from a GameFAQ. Anyway, MAJOR CLEANUP NEEDED, READS LIKE A GAMEFAQ, and BIASED. PowderedToastMan 20:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The weapon's section does not belong on Wikipedia - I've removed it per WP:NOT, which would probably supersede most pleas to keep the section. The online section seems like it belongs on the cutting block, but could be refined with clean up. The article could use more commentary from developers or reviewers; just make sure to Cite it (WP:Cite). Second, if one feels the article is baised, it would be best to add a tag to the top of the article. The tag helps editors know that something may not be right with the article, and direct them to its talk page. I'm adding original research tags to the "Real War" section, as it seems like some history guru felt the need to unload his thoughts on the article. Though they are well-written and seemingly present some historical accuracy, one needs to cite the comparisons or tie-ins to Killzone; Otherwise, do away with the section in accordance to the WP:No original research policy. Lastly, the plot section seems some-what dry. While its well written, and minds the separation between fact and fiction, it lacks decent plot synopsis that covers the entire game. --  ►ShadowJester07  20:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, please add Fair Use rationales to all the images in the article. Currently, most of them will be deleted in a couple days. -- ►ShadowJester07  20:38, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I went mad on the article there, removed a load of lists and whatnot. Think it's a fair bit better no, I removed the neutrality tag. Fin©™ 10:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Article Got Raped. WTH?
The article used to be long as hell and now has been axed to hell and back. A lot of the stuff that got removed is on many other pages to this day, and they haven't even been touched. Guess I'll go annihilate those pages for no good reason, like this one has been. And no, that wasn't a threat of page "vandalism" either. ShinraiTS4 03:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * A lot of gaming pages need work, and need to be fixed the way that this article was. --  Atama sama  01:22, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

gas masks
"Except for a small number of half-breed Helghast and trained troopers, they require a gas mask and air processing tank that creates air similar to that found on the planet Helghan." I was just wondering why the Helghasts still carry those ugly gas masks on their own planet in part 2? --84.56.161.162 (talk) 19:39, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Strangely, the ISA don't use masks. The Helghast use them as a class thing (the masks signify that they're working class; the dictator didn't have a mask.) Maybe the ( Helghast needed them because they didn't have any medical aid, and the ISA has shots for the environment or something. (TheEvanCat (talk) 21:17, 27 February 2011 (UTC))

I JUST GOT THIS AND WAS WANTING TO KNOW WHAT ITS RATED FOR. THERE WAS KNOW COVER. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.93.89.56 (talk) 22:39, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Luger spelling?
The name for Shadow Marshall Luger is spelled Lugar, is it different in the NTSC version, because I have a PAL and there is Luger. Can someone confirm it or fix it? 87.205.92.5 (talk) 13:47, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
