Killzone 2 has 1.9 million ranked players online.. How is Killzone 2 MP "De

So you ask how i know this? easy, in Killzone 2 when you go to rankings it displayes 10 people per page, there are 198,000 pages with 10 people on each one.. thats 1.98 million ranked players on Killzone 2.. Grant it some of those could be alternate accounts but not enough to bring down the ACTUAL numbers that much.

I keep hearing on here time and time again how "killzone 2 MP is dead" or "Killzone 2 community dying" i play Killzone 2 every night and there are always tons of games avaliable with a majority of them almost all full.. Can we please stop this propoganda that "Killzone 2 MP is dead" who cares if it doesnt have hundreds of thousands AT once playing at the same time online like MW2, the fact that it has nearly 2 million ranked players shows Killzone 2 and the MP community is very muc alive and is far far from being dead online..

I'm somewhere on that list, but I haven't touched KZ2 since a week after it's launch. I bet there are many more people that don't play the game anymore.

i wonder whose last place?

i'm ranked 125k around

Who cares? The game clearly has enough people playing that you wouldn't have trouble finding a full game on the settings you want. Beyond that I don't care if there's a thousand playing or a million.

lol, thats RANKED players, as in people who PLAYED online. Its not a representation of the users who CURRENTLY play KZ2 online...............nice try though :P Im ranked on there somewhere (near the bottom probably :P) and i havent played since march-april.navyguy21

me too! except I havn't played online since....I can't remember it was that long ago maybe 6 months ago?

I don't know what rank I am as well maybe near the bottom.lol

but nah.. KZ2 MP really is a graveyard compared to other major shooters.

a steady 2,000 to 3,000 online... .... :lol: that pales in comparison to World at War(360) let alone Modern Warfare 2... its true...kz2 mp is....a graveyard compared to other high profile shooters.jessesalinas

Have you played it? Does it suck? Not in the slightest; probably my second favorite game this gen to mgs4.

hahahahaha

Ohhhh crap! I forgot about the BANDWAGON!!!!! Forgive me!

Killzone 2 mp is ok. I think if it had better modes it could be around for a long time.

Lemmings are desperate trying to find a way to bash an amazing game as Killzone 2. Its definitely still very active even with MW2 on. I recommend anyone who has not played it to go for it. Awesome games. :D

I am a ranked player and haven't touched the game since March. Not to mention PSN free online breeds one person with multiple IDs. Not impressed. Come back when you can say that KZ2 persistently has 100k people online playing.

Geez, COD4 has a larger online community, right now, on PS3, whichis sad, since it is "an inferior game" that is a year older and has had it's community ravaged by it's own sequel.

We should care that your not impressed? You only have 34 trophies, we dont need to impress you.

You didnt hit a nerve, in fact im not even argueing with you, just stating the truth. More numbers dont mean anything, especially when the game has a 91 average IN metacritic and it has tons of critical praise.

It's not. Far from it.

In fact, I'm playing it right now. Easily the best and most rewarding multiplayer experience on consoles.

Terrible controllers ruined the game for me. Ruined it. I imagine if it had controls like uncharted 2 among thieves I would be saying best game ever. The multiplayer maps were the best designed maps this year (much much better than MW2) but the controls were terrible. The lag, and dead zone killed the multiplayer.

Riku is just trying to be an elistist, and say he was really good at the game and all others just couldnt "adapt" GG had to patch the game 2-3 times to fix the controls, and that is cut and dry proof that the majority of players thought the controls were nott correct. When KZ2 came out originally the controls reminded me of Farcry Instincts, when you would try, and look left or right, you could never precicely look where you wanted to, and it frustrated the hell out of me. No matter how little you moved the analog stick the reticle always moved the exact same amount.

So you call the "lemmings" desperate, and then shamelessly beg people to play the game?

Hypocrites are my fav.

Kennysolidsnake

The number you provided is an estimate of the number of people WHO HAVE played the game online...can you see why the info you gave usis consideredgenerally useless?

I could give you a number of people who were ranked in Halo2...does that mean the community isn't dead?Obviously not..(the servers aren't even running anymore). But hopefully this example shows you why the numbers you gave are useless in proving whether or not a current gaming community is alive or dead.

If you can come with daily numbers, or even monthly numbers, that would tell us a whole lot more. From what i've heard, the numbers are generally not impressive at all but I wouldn't consider the community to be "dead".

MW2 community = huge halo 3 community = huge killzone 2 community = :lol: jessesalinas

Wow that was clever. Nice job

yeah sure. those are the other major shooters.

Shouldn't be too much competition for KZ2 to get attention, right?

After all it's got it's graphics to rely on.

i wonder whose last place?

tutt3r

I am.... atleast Im almost at the last. lol

Anyways, if your region dont have any people playing just switch it to w the worldwide there are always tons of people on there.... but they maybe speaking french or something.

You know what's funny... when I came in your thread I thought you meant 1.9 million players are online on KZ2 right now. The thing is you meant 1.9 million players in total have ever logged in to KZ2... HUGE DIFFERENCE from your thread title.

Another funny fact is that I've seen 1.6 million players ONLINE playing Halo 3 all at a single moment. That's 1.6 million people all playing online in matches the same second I was online. Take a while to think about that.
