Hey everyone. Sorry for the three months of inactivity but I have a damn good excuse: boot camp. I just graduated from Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, Platoon 3105, this morning. I left for boot camp on September 8th, and graduated today. I have a month of leave thanks to Recruiter's Assistance. Hopefully I can get promoted during this timeframe but its currently uncertain.
Basically, for boot camp, I'd say it sucks. Its Parris Island. Its cold, then its hot, then its cold, and you're soaked to the bone, and sick all the time. I did good though. A first class PFT score of 248, and I shot Sharpshooter. Tonight I went out in my Dress Blue Bravoes to the lodge I attend with my family. Everyone loved it, and they all wanteda picture. Maybe I'll post some.
Boot camp taught me things, like how even I could shoot a human sized target in the head, while 500 yards away with an M16A2 service rifle. I even managed to actually gain some weight, a total of 8 pounds, putting my weight at a whopping 140.
Gamngwise, I bought a DSi, Phantom Hourglass, and the Fallout PC collection with Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics. I can not wait to play them, but I left them out in a car my friend currently has so I have to wait until tommorow.
Well, I promise more soon, but I'm tired right now, and with family. Peace.

1.) Amazing A.I.
Enemies in Killzone 2 will react to your gunfire. They will dodge left most of the time, and sometimes they will dodge right, followed by a straight blitz to your position. It will create a sense of urgency for the player when the enemy runs straight at you while you shoot at them.
2.) Incendiary Objects
This ain't your mama's exploding barrel! No these are incendiary devices placed in the battlefield used strategically by smart enemies (see point number 1) to hide behind. The smart player will use the incendiary device tactfully to their benefit, foolishness (calculated in real time and will differ from enemy to enemy) on the part of the A.I. will be the end of them as you pick out and shoot at the device create and create a fiery explosion .
3.) Diverse Weapons
Players will start with a small blunt object and the developers hinted at a possible inclusion of a knife in the final game. Gradually more weapons will come to the player in the course of the single player campaign. Here is an exclusive sneak peak at some of the weapons in the final game:
Handgun
Shotgun (alt fire - shoot two barrels at once!)
Machine Gun (alt fire - shoot a small grenade)
Sniper Rifle
Rocket Launcher
Flame Thrower
With these excellent blend of innovative, yet strangely familiar, weapons the Killzone sequel will set itself from the pack of other FPS games to date.
4.) Vehicle Segments
There will be a part (or parts! scoop!) where your squad member will jump in the back of a jeep and man a turret. You will get rid of ground level enemies with great ease but enemy vehicles will give you a run for your money.
A game quite as original and immersive as Killzone 2 has never been attempted before and it is the same novel and brave concepts that will clearly make Killzone 2 the greatest FPS ever created in the history of human beings.
