Hmm.... I had missed the Competitive MP of R2 back during its time as, though I had pre-ordered R2, I got around my PS3 pretty late. By the time I had finished the SP of R2, my KZ2 had arrived and it never left my PS3 after that for many many months.
But I played about 2 hoours of R2 competitive today and going by all the complaints by fans, I was expecting a lackluster affair. Guess What ! I enjoyed it a lot :smile:! Sure, its not R:FOM at all, but it isn't boring at all too. And the fact that even 2 years after release, I could find multiple pages of full matches running at any time is a testament to the fact that it is FUN ! Otherwise people wouldn't be playing this 2 years on !
I played simple deathmatches and Skirmishes and a Co-op match. I must say, the competitive is more fun than the co-op, something which I never expected. Also, I remembered an ugly game, but the MP maps I played today were all great looking and very beautiful (I think Cocodrie(?), one really small one in Orick and Holar Tower) ! I think I will be spending more time with R2 now as anyways my love for UC2 MP isn't able to survive as I can't find games most of the times I pop it in. But its a complete opposite with R2, i always find multiple pages of games running and they are all full too. Even the 60 player ones.
Looks like a lot of people love R2 out there ! I didn't know that, and if the fun lasts for more matches for me, I will be there with those guys

Whats really funny is that I never played R2 cos of KZ2 MP, and now after having played KZ3 beta, R2 MP seems so much better ! R2 MP is simple to grasp and fun to play. KZ3 beta had so many complicated gadgets n abilities, yet dull to play ! Hmmm.......Kz2 had all the abilities too but was very fun to play ! Ah....No one can really tell what makes a game click !
