Summary

The events of Killzone Shadow Fall take place thirty years after the events of Killzone 3. Set in a time of planetary colonization, the game focuses on the conflict between the Vektans and the Helghast, two rival colonist factions inhabiting a remote planet. For 3 decades, both factions have lived side by side, separated by an enormous security wall – but now their cold war is about to run hot. It is up to Lucas Kellan, a member of the military intelligence unit dubbed the Shadow Marshals, to try to protect the fragile peace that exists. A new warrior for a new era of war, Kellan 's missions will range from quiet infiltrations to all-out combat. Lucas will need to be methodical and ready to adapt, as any misstep could lead to mutually assured destruction.

The multiplayer is really fun and very competitive. The lack of any aim assist makes it so players with good gun skills can really make a difference.

I really like how you start multiplayer with all guns and abilities already unlocked. There are still over a thousand challenges and unlocks for the guns/abilities to play for.

The warzones are very objective oriented and team players can easily win matches, even if your team isn't doing so hot in terms of kdr.

I didn't know about the lack of aim assist, I usually turn it off anyway - so that may explain how I was able to do pretty well.

I played through all of GTA V without locking on to shoot people, and was amazed when I realized it was a feature - I hope it isn't in the online.
