Saw this on NeoGaf. Surely a matter of 1 hour max before we find out for certain (MS Keynote at GDC is happening as we speak).

Oh head to head with Resistance 2.

Maybe GoW2 will actually have a complete and coherent story that lasts more than 15 minutes.

And you might post something positive in a 360 thread.

Stranger things have happened.

Who cares about the story when the multiplayer is that good?

It was? Musta missed that

Also don't know if i will renew my LIVE sub so MP is a bit moot.

I am actually looking forward to GoW2, cos i genuinely hope they take onboard the criticism they got for the story of the first one. If only they had enough time to finish it.

Happy birthday to me \o/

People who don't have live? or people who prefer SP to MP?

Then i suggest you go read a book if you want a story, the lack of story with GOW1 never bothered me.

As long as it has coop split screen and offers more of the same I'll be happy.

Never touched Single player or Multiplayer in the original just coop all the way!

Lol one post in and we get criticism and comparison.

And I forget, Killzone 1 was so good

Technically the thread only lasted 1 reply !!! (mine). Shortest thread derailment ever?

Is a November release likely? Seems rather soon to me...

What does Killzone have to do with anything?? :confused:

I thought it would be interesting the 2 biggest shooters of the consoles of this year coming out in the same month.
