Hey everyone! 

Finally got Killzone a few days ago and excitedly jumped into the multiplayer mode hoping to kill a few hours (and a few people), but there was just one small problem: I can't find anyone to play with. I start up a public match, get thrown into the lobby and just wait there, with not a single soul appearing even after half an hour of waiting.

So I'm just wondering, how exactly does the matchmaking work? Is there like a EU server that I join in on or does it only look for players in my country? (which I really hope not, because then I'm totally screwed since I'm like one of three Vita owners in South Africa).

Thanks!

I played the Beta and had no problem finding a match.  I picked up the game today but haven't played it yet.  I'm too tired so I'll play tomororw during the day.  I'll let you know then if I have the same problem as you.

Just out of curiosity, where are you from? I managed to run into a post where a user from Dubai had exactly the same problem. Just sort of got this feeling the game only searches for nearby players instead of actually going international to most probably avoid lag or whatever. The developers are also supposedly working on a patch that will fix "connection issues", hopefully this is part of that.

Thanks a ton for checking it out, have fun, eh! I'm going to try my luck again later tonight, otherwise I'll just wait for the patch to come out and hope it fixes everything.

No problem.  Once you get everything worked out maybe we can even try to play a match together.

Nothing, decided to focus on the campaign for now until the next patch rolls along. What's your PSN name by the way? Will add you as a friend when I get time on my Vita again. Mine is Blitsie.
