I gotta agree. The sniper in kz2 is bad ass to put it simple. But like every other gun in kz2 you will suck ass with it at first. It is a drastic change from snipers in say cod 4 or halo, and takes a good amount of practice to get good. But once you do, its an absolute beast and is so satisfying getting kills with it. The game has a huge learning curve with every gun, but its unique in that way.

Clearly he’s not being paid but i have to strongly disagree. I commit to upwards of 30 hours of gaming every week and the main genre i play is FPS.

Ive owned KZ2 from launch and ranked up very quickly to get the sniper and mainly the invisibility perk.

When using the sniper however the six axis does not factor in. I only use the sticks and the motion sensitivity is only a gimmick. If i had to sum it up id call it a distraction.

I may be way off the mark and i know the weight of the guns was a key design choice by the Devs but the slow movements and bulk of your weaponry makes the six axis feature feel redundant as its to slow to keep up with enemies running at you, especially as you do have to lead onto them.
But then again, that’s what the game plays like and if you don’t like that don’t buy the game!

I’m still a massive fan of classic COD4, crisp aiming and Halo style jumping no-scopes but this is just not present in Killzone.

If you’re a fan of Halo and COD snipers, this will be a drastic change in pace and power for you.

As for you Alex Shaw, a respectful article that has a poignant, well, um, point and that’s that; Nicely written as well!

Dude… do you really think Sony would have specified that I describe their thumb-sticks as having “Suppurating pustules” on them?

I think that the sniper rifle in kz2 is awesome but i have to agree with jjack.
The Fareye in R2 is FUCKING INSANE!

Only gun that makes me want to play r2 is the fareye.

I agree that this is probably the only sniper rifle using the sixaxis, but I have the say that the best sniper ever was in Resistance series: the L52 FarEye

WRONG… that was the one gun I couldn’t stand using in KZ2. I always use sniper rifles in FPS’s and this one is AWFUL. What SPIFF did Sony give you for writing this posh piece.

Complete HOGWASH.

MG4 sniper rifles are the best! Period!
