I stopped playing for awhile to play some other games, but I've been wanting to get back on Killzone2. That is as soon as I can get it back from my friend who is borrowing it. He keeps "forgetting."

Killzone 2 is the best shooter out right now and nothing is even challenging it until Modern Warfare 2 comes out. What does that have to do with my quote? Ordinary shooters rarely last in the multiplayer department. A new one comes along (fast), and replaces it.

Ordinary shooters rarely last in the multiplayer department. A new one comes along (fast), and replaces it. I think I made it clear. There is "no new one" and nothing "replacing it" until Modern Warfare 2 comes out, assuming it's at least as good.
Ah, so if the Killzone 2 community is slowly dying as our OP says, does that just mean that it's getting flat out boring to play online since no other shooter is replacing it? I think that would be worse than it being replaced.

He didn't say it was dying, he was asking if it was
played KZ for the first time since my old PS3 died and i forgot how much i love KZ online. i really dont like FPS online gaming on consoles it just doesnt feel right to me as i always had my PC for for my FPS needs and that hasn't changed i feel its the best tool for the job but killzone is the exception to the rule.
didnt have any problem finding games although it was harder to find a game with the new maps. to be fair i didnt start switch the game on till 1am that night, probably bad timing. not gonna be as active as it was a launch but thats to be expected. the one thing it has going on for it is now the DLC maps have started they seem to be coming at a fairly quick rate so thats gonna boost the numbers i would think.
I think many people stopped playing it a week or two after it came out because of the controls, and I can't blame them for that. There's still lots of people playing the game, but you can be sure that the online community will be completely dead once CoD:MW2 is out.
i play it online every now and then but i got other games i wana play....ill play more when theres new maps, but im always up for a game if someone invites me

He didn't say it was dying, he was asking if it was ...Refer to what Shadowkiller said. And then go back to my very first post here.

I've had one since day one and I still play Warhawk, R6: Vegas, PSN: Poker, and other games online with no problems finding matches. These are all very old games and still have plenty of people playing. What you are implying is false
To the TC... I think only hardcore fans are still playing KZ2 online, I think the casual gamers gave up on Online after a week or two - People expecting another MW were also disappointed by its slow pace - thats my person opinion though...

But I'll bite, what if I didn't have a PS3? As for the games you mentioned, none of those scream "ordinary shooter", so it isn't as easy to just move on to something else like it that's newer, so you comparing a tomato (R6: Vegas) to a grape (Poker? lol) does not work here.

but you can be sure that the online community will be completely dead once CoD:MW2 is out.Doolz2024
No way its dieing... people still play crappy R6V FIRST ONE! :shock:
WhyuStillAlive
Once MW2 comes out half the entertainment business will die... Children and wives will be neglected, yards will go unkept and society will stand still. (for the first 2 or 3 weeks)... R6V CRAPPY. Tom Clancey titles are always top notch. (except End War) I don't think you even played the game.

My point is even lesser games than Killzone2 still have a lot of people playing. You trying to act like Killzone2 doesn't is just wrong.
And to answer the TC. No its not. (till Uncharted2 or MW2) And with the newest PS3 Bundle containing KZ2/MGS4 you better believe that the communitys only getting bigger...
I stopped playing cause my mom saw the M rating and spazzed. The online was done really well and I had fun while it lasted. I still havethe game but I had the Uncharted Beta that I love so much more and BlazBlue will keep me occupied for a while.
Of course "a lot" of people are playing...but I bet the community is dying...slowly. It's only to be expected after all. With what a handful of buyers. (3-5 million sales? Or am I giving it too high a number?) If Killzone 2 can at least keep it stable or even more users (COD says otherwise), then kudos to you and your argument. If it goes like LOL-EVERYOTHERSHOOTER, congrats on defending a regular shooter going on regular schedule of the usual impending, inevitable community death.
I just rented it and tons of people where on, I'm sticking to WaW though because I felt the controls where too sluggish, it they patch the controls i'll buy it.
And even if the community is decreasing, well, guess what? That happens. It's still very strong, though, IMO. I never have any trouble finding plenty of games to join.

When did a handful become 3-5 million? Also I can't think of a single example of a game selling several million copies and then the community dying. All the big sellers I can think of still have plenty of people playing. Name some of these games you are talking about?
So goes the way of the FPS. The life expectancy of a FPS community is directly tied to the games quality and the quality of those released soon after. F.E.A.R 2 is a great example of how quickly a FPS can die when a new game comes out right after it (Killzone 2 came out just 2 weeks after FEAR 2, probably killing the community very quickly.) However people still play Warhawk, which was released soon after the ps3 came out and is going strong to this day since there arn't a lot of good games like it. But FPS games churn out almost as quickly as we can beat them, so communities die quicker. The future looks towards MW and (hopefully) MAG. I'm sure you will be able to find rooms without any problems for a lil while after, but whatever games come after MW and MAG will probably eat away Killzone 2, but not to the point that no one will be playing it.
Killzone 2 will probably stay strong until KZ3 or Resistance 3 since the game is quite unique in the way it combines team tactics and classes, CoD4 like ranking up, and the steady stream of new (albeit slightly expensive) maps. Still, I have yet to see a game actually beat CoD when it comes to addictiveness and pure awe and amazement the first time they enjoy it, in fact I'd have to compare COD to a vacuum in the way that is sucks away the players of every other game on almost every console but the Wii (although they get WaW).
Yeah it should stay about as alive as Halo 3 on the 360.

Anyways, shouldn't you be actually playing Killzone 2 before the community dies completely instead of trying to defend it? I know it seems like I'm shooing you away now, but I've got novels to write! (And it'd be rude for me not to draw this into a conclusion.) And yes, 3-5 mil is a handful for an UBERSEXYORDINARY popular shooter. And the actual number may actually be smaller than 5 million...I'm just being nice.

3-5 million became a handful when official numbers came in showing that 13 million people on Xbox Live play Call of Duty 4.
Killzone 2's community is just awaiting a fatality.
