nice to know

I don't get what makes this different than any other party system.

More games should copy TimeShift's multiplayer component. The most underappreciated multiplayer ever.

That sounds just as annoying as Halo 3's ranked multiplayer.
Random ass game modes on random ass maps. Sure you can vote and whatnot, but it doesn't seem like a huge deal.

And I know I might sound like an asshole towards TwoOneFive, but couldn't this easily have been in GetSammy2B's Killzone 2 thread?

"Sure you can vote and whatnot, but it doesn't seem like a huge deal.

um so basically you join a game and do multiple rounds? i seem to have missed the "greatness" of it

I still don't understand what makes this different at all, besides using a slightly unconventional system of switching games.

its just player matches that are ranked

So I get forced to play multiplayer modes I don't want to play?
Also do you work for guerilla games? The whole post reeked of PR while trying to justify warzone over party systems.

So the basic difference is that it doesn't have that 20 second countdown after each match like in COD 4?

And instead you keep playing while the game mode changes."

No. You don't have to play Warzone I don't believe.

And your whole post reeked of negativity trying to justify why you wouldn't want to play it when admittedly we know nothing about it. ;)"

To clarify this is from Eurogamers multiplayer beta hands on:

All of these modes can be mixed up in Warzone mode, which allows the host to serve up a conveyor belt of challenges all on the same map without having to dip in and out of the lobby between game types. While not particularly innovative, it's still a thoughtful addition and one that keeps the gameplay moving and reasonably varied without spoiling the flow.

Can't comment on someone else but I don't believe I have strong opinions on this. All I've said is based on what I've heard and I stated that in my posts.

Aside from the tea problem you pointed out, it sounds interesting."

Sounds like Call of Duty 3. You could vote on maps in that.

i think you guys all missed the main point of this thread though. there is no party system in killzone 2. but there is warzone instead. i think its better. 

So it's the exact same as COD4, but it doesn't go back to a lobby screen in between rounds, and you don't get to choose what the hell you want to play?

It's just like instead of having a playlist of game types where you have team deathmatch, capture the flag or whatever instead of quitting the game, waiting in the lobby and reloading, the game will automatically drop you into the next section while you're in the map.

It keeps the whole experience sleeker and "more like a war".

It's nothing "truely amazing" in my opinion but it's a nice touch. That's even if my understanding of the mode is correct -- I know some people on here have played it who may be able to clarify."
