Killzone 2 is definitely dead. .

To make an assertion such as that, it is required that you have proof. And sure enough, there is no proof supporting your statement.

Sorry but if the biggest PS3 game only has 2000 people playing. It's dead plain and simple. No one talks about Killzone 2 anymore yet Killzone 3 is getting hyped. why? doesn't make any sense.

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.

Again, nice definition of "dead". Killzone 3 isbeing hyped because it's the sequel to one of the best shooters this generation, awarded for best MP of 2009,amongst many other awards here on GS. You tell us to get Halo reach, but what if people don't like it nor Halo 3?

Killzone 2 is getting hyped because they are now showing footage and pictures. I would think that much would be obvious.

Also, that's a pretty fault definition of dead. When something is dead, it means that the userbase has fallen to the point that finding a match is a rare occurance. That is not the case with KZ2.

I have a better idea. Why don't you buy Halo: Reach and everybody else will buy what they want? Sound good?

Clearly his definition of "dead" and our definition of "dead" aren't matching up.

[QUOTE="iDANTARO"] Yay i win! there arent that many rooms. sure there are a couple of full rooms,but you cant even choose a gametype of your liking. there are alot of rooms that only do like a couple gametypes/maps. its dying dawgs its dyingiDANTARO

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

yup when i click search for rooms (worldwide, no rank prefer) and only get like 6-12 rooms that means dying to me. i dont know how that is alive and well..............

Well, good for you then.I like the fact that i can jump into KZ2 online whenever I want, getting access to full lobbies, and not paying a dime for it, which is a big plus.

You have not demonstrated this whatsoever. You say that as if it goes without saying, but you are not providing any definition of dead that is not hilariously arbitrary. Not to mention that you tried to pull the whole "why are people hyping KZ3" argument, which indicates that you are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

People who actually have had experience with connecting online in KZ2 have said that they have no problem finding people to play with. If this is the case, how do justify the claim that the online portion of KZ2 is dead?

Szminsky

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.

who cares about awards..the true test of a game is if it keeps gamers coming back for more. kz 2 failed epicly.

But what if Killzone 3 is as awesome as Killzone 2 or even better? Why put it in the trash in such case, you make no sence. And what if halo reach sucks as much as odst? What will you do then?

how did it win 2009 mp game of the year? maps are horrible, its too easy to spawn kill. there was a game where my team was just spawn camping the helghast team on helghast industries because they spawn in a small bathroom with only 2 exits. terrible/horrible map design and the ideas where people have turrets/air bots is just plain retarded. also why would they let people spawn with rockets? thats just horrible but thats just my opinion my apologies, i meant radec academy not helghan industries (still a trash map)

Well your definition of "epic fail" is rather funny. A game that is called one of the best FPSes this generation, got a great score all over the board, made a big profit, (hence why they can make a third), and have a large fanbase, granted not as big as the Halo one. how is this epic fail? No.. epic fail is the foundation of your reasoning.

So I'm looking at the leaderboards on the Killzone 2 site and it says 5,000 players in the last 24 hours. That's really low, tbh. Just for comparison, here are 24 hour player numbers for a couple games (on the PC using Game-Monitor.com). Halo - 12,000 players Battlefield 1942 - 25,000 players Call of Duty 2 - 100,000 players Team Fortress 2 - 180,000 players Unreal Tournament 2004 - 1,300,000 players Counter-Strike - 1,500,000 players

Resorting to the conspiracy theories now, eh?

Also, there is no such thing as "overrating" games. Your opinion (not that you've played any PS3 exclusives) is not the gold standard.

well yes it is a fail because kz2 was supposed to be ps3s big multi shooter that would rival halo. halo gets ripped all the time here but it obviously has something right to keep people playing for so long, while kz2 was lacking. the numbers dont lie.

ps see the numbers above. it does NOT have a large fanbase, a very small one actually

Epic campaign?

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

In your opinion sir... Because I'm looking at the reviews for the game and it seems like it got a solid 9.0 from GS. Good day.

Well your definition of "epic fail" is rather funny. A game that is called one of the best FPSes this generation, got a great score all over the board, made a big profit, (hence why they can make a third), and have a large fanbase, granted not as big as the Halo one. how is this epic fail? No.. epic fail is the foundation of your reasoning.

well yes it is a fail because kz2 was supposed to be ps3s big multi shooter that would rival halo. halo gets ripped all the time here but it obviously has something right to keep people playing for so long, while kz2 was lacking. the numbers dont lie.

ps see the numbers above. it does NOT have a large fanbase, a very small one actually

This is disingenuous. You are doing nothing more than clinging to the rhetoric of overzealous fanboys and trying to use that to imply that KZ2 failed.

Epic campaign?

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

In your opinion sir... Because I'm looking at the reviews for the game and it seems like it got a solid 9.0 from GS. Good day.

Perfect Dark Zero got a "solid" 9.0 on gamespot as well. So, I don't think that is saying much

Online players doesn't equal fanbase. I love the game but I don't play it online anymore, I finished the game thrice, maxed my online ranks, and moved on with my life, as do many others.

And asI said before, and returning to the topic of this thread, the online is not "dead". I can still hop on and find a full lobby without problems, even without paying for the online.

Also Going by your logic, the movie Avatar is miles better that classics like "metropolis", "M", "Burned by the sun", "brazil", or many other fantastic independent productions made today etc... because Avatar has a larger fanbase, and made more money.

But you're a raging fanboy so whatever I or anyone else says, it will pass into you ear and out the next :)

Wow...I expected more considering the hype it had. No wonder I hardly play it.

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.

GrannyGoat

I have a better idea. Why don't you buy Halo: Reach and everybody else will buy what they want? Sound good?

they will...the people will speak and they'll put halo reach at the top and kick killzone 3 into the trash can where it belongs

Wow GrannyGoat, could you be any more of a fanboy? You are already predicting the future and putting Halo Reach on top. You don't like KZ and that's just fine but don't embarrass yourself by posting such ridiculous comments. It's pretty pathetic how eager you are to put Halo on top.

The Halo / Cod crowd is always going on about the 'terrible controls' because it's different from what they're used to. I loved the controls. Added to the realism and immersion for me.

Controller latency doesn't add realism.:? i'd like to think the lack of online players for kz2 has more to do with the tight corriders most maps feature. THe matches ends up being a cluster(you know what). Although i do hear the dlc maps are better designed but hardly anyone has them.

That's because DLC should be free... Really hate that trend.

I don't think the responsiveness is due to controller latency, I thought it was a design choice.

I got online last night after not playing KZ2 online in around 6 months. Granted, I have not purchased any of the new maps, but picken's were slim for available games.

I wanted to do the game type where it cycles through the modes, but there weren't any available. I finally got into a death match game type, and everyone was speaking in what sounded like Russian. I even chose US for the region when prompted.Perhaps the group I was playing with lived in the US?

I thought about trying a different region, but was afraid of the lag.

Oh well, just my experience.

It's only a rumor on System Wars, you know, the same place that has been swearing up and down Sony is going to pull out of the console race and admit defeat... since 2006. SW predictions make Michael Pachter look like a genius/Nostradamus by comparison.

Is it truly only a rumour? So, in other words, you are stating that Killzone 2 is a highly actively played multiplayer game these days, in the same league as Call of Duty and Halo?

Do you mean "in other words", or "in completely different words"? Because that isn't what I said. Why pick the most extreme examples of a multiplayer game "having a community", like Halo and COD and compare them to that. Did Killzone 2 sell 14 million copies? KZ2 is not dead, Unreal Tournament 3 is dead. That's the difference. Far Cry 2 is dead. The Darkness is dead.

terrible numbers for a game that sold 3-4 million copies.

If it even hit those numbers...

1st of all it only sold a little bit over a million copies. And secondly, it isnt "terrible numbers" considering the abundance of exclusives and other games that PS3 gamers have been able to play over the last year. Also, stop comparing it to the greatest selling FPSs of all time (Halo and COD). It hasnt even been a known franchise long enough to even have those kind of numbers.
