I just want to dispel the rumour the KZ2 online is dead.

I agree. Most of the community is made up of Killzone vets such as me. It is very much alive and breathing. The people that say its dead are lemmings that simply are here to bash the game.

The online isn't quite dead, but finding a good match can be troublesome. I don't like having to play with people in other regions, who take ridiculous damage before dying, if I want to play. That's my only real beef with it.

I don't have a problem with the controls, but I think they drove a lot of people away, which hurt the community. So, I do hope they tighten them up a little for K3, just so the online can be more active. Even right after launch the online was about the same as it is now, so it's not dying, it was just never all that popular.

idk wtf people are talking about when they there are only like 50 people on at one.. Ive never ever seen that few amount of people. Theres always tons of people playing online

compared to U2 with about 60-70k games, that's small... and MUCH smaller compared to Halo... :P yoshi_64

I was playing the new Transformers demo yesterday and I saw 5400 people online. More than the 1000 I used to see in Killzone 2 in November :D

sometimes i can only find 1 match, and its not even full..G-O-M-J

Epic campaign? The campaign sucked. Multiplayer seemed okay, but I only played a couple rounds and never really got into it.DragonfireXZ95

I disagree. I also felt that the campaign was epic. The controls seemed to be the major problem for those who didn't enjoy the game but they felt just fine to me. Looking at the average scores from critics and everyday gamers alike, I'm sure many would agree. I haven't played MP so I can't comment on that.

Epic campaign?

It was horrible and don't let me spell that out for you.

Way to put words in his mouth. Maybe you should actually take the time to find out why he thinks it sucks instead of just having the usual "oh no, he didn't like a game I like. I must proceed to make up an argument for him so that I can make his opinion look stupid" type of response.

Check out this, it's straight from KZ.Com and it says that therre have been 10,000 players over the last week and 10,000 players over the last night, that isn't a dead community to me, I easily found a game when I played just a few hours ago, and It was definetly a nice change of pace from all the arcade shooters I have been playing lately, People also forget about KZ2's epic campign and it's overall brilliance so I just wanted to share this with you all, thank you.

Brilliance? I thought it was a great FPS that hit all the right notes (expect for story but I think the stories in the vast majority of FPS games suck balls), but brilliance is pushing it. It's an FPS doing all the standard FPS stuff. Half-Life 2 it is not.

Played a bit yesterday. It's far from dead.

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

[QUOTE="Megaman5364"] Oh great, now that I have dispelled the rumour that the online is dead, people are going to start ragging on the campaign, you just cannot win in system wars can you, Killzone 2 is a great game, among the best FPS of all time and there is no reason to hate on it.

[QUOTE="Megaman5364"]

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"] Oh,no...the campaign was horrible even before people started to dispel the rumor that it was dead.

Lto_thaG

The campaign was never horrible, imo. Of course the game isn't going to appeal to everyone, no game ever will. True, the game doesn't do anything new but I do not know of any FPS that really does. However, it does almost everything a modern FPS should do right. Personally, I loved the dark and gritty atmoshphere. It adds to the feeling of fighting in a real war. Pretty, colorful environments just wouldn't do this game justice. The atmosphere is intense and chaotic and the dark nature of this game fits it perfectly. The game never became tedious for me due to the great pacing.

Highly imposing. Let's also forget the fact that Halo 3 had 1 million unique users playing it daily, 2 years after launch.iDefineInfinity

Finding a server with a full set of players instantly at any time isn't dead.

After 5PM western time there is always a few games going and if you change it to worldwide then there is more and at different times. I play once in a while inbetween games. But I do not play games more than 30 hours a week.

kz2 multiplayer is DEFINITELY a flop, remember when cows claimed it would be the Halo Killer? Boy it was a chuckle then but now its even funnier!

Well, if you're so confident that it is dead, mind providing your definition of dead? I think it will speak volumes.

Yes it was a big flop, hence why it was crowned the 2009 MP game of the year here on GS. And Halo Killer? I admit the first one was hyped as such but 2nd... no way, even Guerilla themselves said that in no way was their game supposed to be a halo "killer", whatever that means. It's just another experience which i personally prefer a hella lot more than Halo.

win? Alright then, if it makes you sleep better at night. You sure have a nice definition of dying.

Killzone 2 is definitely dead. Why is Killzone 3 getting so hyped? The community of Killzone just isn't there. KZ3 will last 6 months online before its dead and then you'll realize that you've lost 60 bucks. Just get Halo Reach guaranteed to last 4 years.

Killzone 2 is definitely dead. .
