I bought my PS3 for Killzone 2, so my opinion should be pretty predictable when it comes to K3. I loved my hours with the beta today. The controls were improved, the map you can play on is so well thought out, and I don't think there was one time today where I got spawn killed. So many shooters today that's just a norm and something I've gotten accustomed to, so when it didn't occur once I was just nodding at my screen thinking, "this is how it should be."
The dedicated servers keep the game running smoothly so that when you mix that with the weighted guns and their recoil you get a great sense of immersion fragging people online without the momentum being broken up by some typical FPS idiotic design choice.
The classes have all been more stream lined and beefed up to mesh together more for a really fun game to play with friends. I also like how the leveling system is now geared to let you get upgrades to what you want, and not just unlock the classes like you did in K2. This makes it so anyone can jump in and be an asset out the gate.
The games sounds I think is what blew me away the most. Guerrilla just knows how to make guns SOUND amazing to shoot. Throw in some graphics that make real life look last gen, and you keep layering on the immersion factor more and more. When things sound and look this good you can't help and feel excited when you land a head shot across the map or gouge a mans eyes in with your thumbs.
Killzone 3 is set to release Feb 22nd, and I'll post back soon with a review to see if Guerrilla stepped it up for this highly anticipated sequel for PS3 owners.

There’s much to be had with this one and it’s not just through its gameplay.
