Scores add up on the global leaderboard, which you can check at any time on the official website. Perhaps the coolest part of the webgame, however, is the ability to work in squads with other people. If you're in a squad and are attacked by Helghast, your squad members will be alerted (as long as they are online) and are given the chance to join you, building up a higher score for the squad leaderboard. The site indicates that there will competitions "coming soon." With Killzone 2 release for reals this Friday, though, we can't imagine too many people will keep playing after that.

Damn man I can't wait for this game to come out. I haven't been this hyped for a game since MGS 4 dropped last year.

I pre-ordered just for the demo, I never intended to keep the pre-order because I don't have much money, but I was really looking forward to trying it out. I was very disappointed by the demo. I couldn't stand the controls. Why was there no custom layout? With the aiming, I didn't think it was smooth, it felt like I was fighting against recoil while I wasn't even shooting. Somebody already cussed me out about my thought on the aiming, to which I said what games I thought had smooth aiming. COD and Unreal Tournament III were the examples I gave.
I have tried the demo about 5-6 times because I want to like the game, but I will not be getting it. I don't get how it is getting such great reviews. You know, the way the aiming is, it reminds me of the demo for Legendary.

Fair enough, your entitled to your own opinion :) But you should seriously try different control loadouts the standard one isn't for everyone, personally i like the controls :D and i don't have a problem with the aiming. I don't know if thats just me but the gun recoil just feels a little more realistic than CoD (sorry if that offends anyone :P )

Yeah, the default is complete garbage, ALT 2 or nothing.

you are one of the few, I loved the aiming it felt more realistic and added more difficulty. After playing the demo 8 times I can't play COD 4 and 5 anymore, they feel old and out of style. Probably going to sell them after i get KZ2.

@metal gear!?: i hated alt 2 only because of L2 was to take cover and L1 was to aim, it felt unnatural holding both at the same time

Really. Well, the problem I have is that when I zoom in, the camera seems to move too far when I'm trying to aim at something quickly. It got a little better when I turned up the sensitivity(not having to move the stick as far to the side to look quickly), but it was still too jumpy. I'm not trying to be difficult, it's just that I didn't think that that I would have a problem with this game except maybe the multiplayer because I hated that in the first game.
Also, I have a small gripe with the menus. Why did they feel it was necessary to make the screen jump every time you move up or down or click on something? It actually gives me a headache.

If you are running NoScript in Firefox, make sure to allow moss.com when you are first attacked, otherwise it will never work. :)
