No cover system in Killzone 2 multiplayer
Guerrilla Games QA Manager Seb Downie said the lean and peak system seen in Killzone 2’s singleplayer mode will not be available in the multiplayer modes.
It didn’t work too well in the 360 degree combat environment that is multiplayer,
In single player the path is more linear and the action is usually ahead of the player. In MP levels are more arena based and you are more susceptible to flanking and being attacked from various angles.
We found that the L&P system didn’t add anything in that scenario and that players often actually took a step back from cover objects to give themselves a little more freedom to move, so they were actually working against the system, so we ripped it back out,
Downie concluded with:
Crouching was deemed sufficient.
Maybe they could include it again in a future update.

I said leave it to the player, maybe creating a category, like in CoD4 was Normal, Hardcore and Old School, Same game different rules, in GTAIV is an open environment but if you go in to an ally use the cover and shotgun the hell out of them, one of the thing I love about the cover system is the pop up, you know aiming before been exposed.
I would have preferred for them to leave it in and give us the option. MGO has a cover system that they did not even need to put in but they did. And the remedy for the question of how to implement it without ruining the game is obvious. I notice in KZ2 you can take alot of bullets before you die. THAT IS THE REMEDY FOR THE THINGS THAT THEY SAID WERE HOLDING THE COVER SYTEM BACK. If somebody shoots you from behind then you know to move. And I dont think there would have been alot of camping because of how you can be flanked so you would take cover let off shots or nades and change position just like the enemy A.I. does in the S/P… THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVIN US THE OPTION TO USE IT OR NOT.
I like the game in general, but I definitly would like the cover system in the online multiplayer. Its pretty stupid not to have it. That means the online is a whole different animal.
Not cool. COD4 still champ!
I am furious right now. HOW STUPID IS THAT!!! I mean it’s more god-damned work to take it out than to leave it in! They should have given us a damned choice, or at least made the weapons more powerful, say, like add a hardcore game-mode where you die more easily and it allows cover, so those who like the cover system can have it while those hwo don’t want to don’t need it, or simply leave it in and give us a choice. I am pissed at Geurilla. They should have just left it in if people weren’t going to use it, then htose that wanted to could. Dumbasses.
