Is my copy of Killzone 2 bugged?  (single player)
 
Aiming, moving, doing anything except shooting seems to be met with a 0.5 second delay.
It feels like I've went back in time and I'm playing CS on a laggy PC.

Turn on the High Precision option.

I'll try that thanks.

No problem. 

it's normal in killzone 2 (one of my complaints about the game) i'm guessing it's supposed to be like that

I had the same problem in the demo. My guess is they turned double buffered vsync off because there is no screen tearing (vsync causes input lag). but you cant turn it off :(
 
unless they patched that and gave you some kind of option to turn it off im never buying it thats for sure.

Yeah this is normal, a lot of people complained about it.

It was introduced in a patch, so you may have only played through it before that was released. "

" @Kamasama: Does the patch completely fix the problem or is there merely a little big less lag? "

No that's part of the game, they want to see how fustrated you would get pretending weapons has weight and stuff. Wait until the last level where aim is important against impossible odds, your aim is going to be useless and you will die alot.

" @mhkjtha: Believe what you want to but what I said before is the truth. They tried and no one liked it and thats why they patched it.  "

 Joystiq news.
 

@mhkjtha:

Yes, they made it clear that it was intentional. You must not have followed the game much.

Am I the only one that didn't mind it? It's honestly not that bad once you get used to it, and still very possible to beat Elite mode with it like that.

I have another question about killzone. PLEASE READ. I have unlocked the sniper class in mutiplayer but when I zoom in I cant go up to the next level of precision, do I need to unlock it  or something?

There is NO DELAY/LAG
its just the dead zone is much smaller than most games.  The truth is, the character moves and reacts as fast as your body would. Everybody expects to be able to move as fast as your eyes but thats totally unrealistic. I do agree though, it doesnt really work for games and isnt much fun. 
But as for "lag", it always IMMEDIATELY responds once you tilt an analog stick a specific amount, its just that amount is much great than most games, like i said. it was a design choice to give the game a more weighty feel to it.  
If you updated the game online, than you can now switch to high precision mode, like others have mentioned.

" @mhkjtha: Man, you are annoying forum poster.  Anyways, the high precision mode fixes it and makes aiming a lot easier. I definitely like it. :) "

You guys are wrong. The only thing the patch fixed was the deadzone. Precision aiming only changes the deadzone. The game still has a 12 frame lag and it's fucking horrible. It's not fucking realistic either, just bad. Here is a test: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-lag-factor-article
