Well, to me this game feels like Gears of War 2 only played from first person perspective.  I knew I didn't like cover based shooters (HL2 and MAG are more my style) but I thought the perspective change might help me enjoy it...
 
Unfortunately it does not.  I feel slow and vulnerable and I can't get into recharging health.  Basically I'm complaining that I am old and picky and this game disappoints me.

Yeah, Killzone 2 and 3 are basically Gears in first person. Except inferior, for a number of reasons (no blindfire, no active reload, can't move in cover while reloading, boring level design et cetera).

I always enjoyed the covering in Gears.  Its to the point that shooters feel weird for me when they don't have a cover system...  But thats just me.

i say bulletstorm is more gears in the first person. the main assault rile looks just like the lancer minus the chainsaw.

definitely this, even the run button is the same and there is no jumping.

No. If you have even played one minute of  the multiplayer you would know this feels like Killzone and not Gears.

Just cause it's a FPS with a cover-system doesn't make a clone of the first successful Third-Person Shooter with a cover-system, kiddies.

I don't think that would ever work in KZ.  In gears enemies are a lot tougher and more bullet spongey so you need advantages like blindfire and AR to keep it from stagnating.  In a CoD-y type game where a quick burst kills a guy blindfire would probably be game breaking.  And is Gears really known for good level design?  I played through them but I only remember the mansion in 1, and the worm in 2.  And all that juice.  And hating the car segments.  And hating carrying that box on co-op.

" @RsistncE: I have no interest in either Gears of War or Killzone's multiplayer (the Battlefield games are the only online shooters that don't bore me), so I can't really comment on that side of things. But both of the Gears of War games had way more fun single player modes than Killzone 2 (and Killzone 3 as well, if the demo is any indication). "

Killzone doesn't feel like Gears at all.

They couldn`t be any more different. Just because KZ has a cover system in it`s singleplayers doesn`t mean its Gears in first person. Gears is completely based around the cover based combat, KZ doesn`t even use the cover system for its multiplayer.

There's no cover online, and that's the only place it counts, so no... just no.

Actually Killzone 3 is exactly like Uncharted 2, Red Dead Redemption and GTA IV because they all use a cover system and have guns in them...
 
The ISA dudes are huge and bulky like the GoW COGS and both games have a realistic weighty feeling to the guns and movement and a cover system. That's where the similarities end. Just because games have similar mechanics, don't mean they are exactly the same. Cover based gameplay is a standard element to any good shooter these days. I love being able to take cover and peek out, I think Killzone is the only franchise that utilizes this in first person that I've played though.

So make the enemies tougher.
