I see in the future patches the complaints of the controls may get a fix I cant don't understand whats wrong with them I have them set to Alternative 1 with zoom option to hold.

It just feels perfect like COD yet thats all people have complained about oh the controls are not COD. And the improvements to help play with friends that'll be good for the trophy boosters that will I haven't even started online in fact I haven't back to this game for weeks since I cleared it once.

You're missing out. :)

The REAL game... much like COD4... is the multiplayer.

People complain about the controls because people complain about everything (*I* should know!).

Even at default I don't see the difference between COD4 and Killzone... You hold the exact same trigger to run... same button fires... same button throws grenades... Only thing I can think of is there aren't helicopters and air strikes!

No, I understand the complaint about the controls. Even though I only played through the demo, the crouch and cover controls seemed to stiff while the analog aiming seemed too touchy. This was not an issue in COD4. Now I may be off base here because I played through COD4 on the 360 not the PS3.

Well I played through COD4 on the 360 as well... and I swear I don't know the difference.

Like I said... I never used the cover system. And now that I'm only playing online, it's not even an option.

I think I could pick up COD4 for the PS3 now... and not a single button will have changed.
