It must have lost a lot of players to MW2's online MP recently.

lol, now they give DLCs for free cause nobody plays this crap online.

lol, will there ever be something like that on XBL?? Never, ON XBL you wont see only 3000 players on a game which sold 2 Million times.

They give the DLC for free to see more players.

What a huge disappointment this game was.

Believe me or not, Killzone 3 wont sell more than the second. This franchies is dead. Nobody plays it even online.

Double XP, eh? Maybe I'll put MW2 away for a few days and dust off my old KZ2 disc. Used to have a lot of fun with it online.

Ahh once again,. the only ones commenting are 360 fanboys. How sad.

like the PS3 fanboy sin every 360 article right:)??

Come on.. even the ps3fanboys sgould agree that this game was a FLOP and an even bigger flop in terms of gameplay.. or how you you explain me the ONLY 3000 players online??

People just hate the controls.. the controls made the game an Multiplayer FLOP, while MW2 will be played for the next 2-3 years.

Trying too hard Sony :)

Time to face the facts.

WAAAAAH! WAAAAAH! WE ALSO WANT FREE STUFF! MOMMY!

putting in KZ2 after playing MW2 is like going back in time, it really makes you realise (again) how good and technically impressive the graphics are on KZ - I can't wait to see what they have in store for KZ3, can you imagine them graphics in a earth environment!

arcade run and gunners need not apply.

considering i was considering getting all the DLC, now i cn wait.

I havent yet cz i havent played that much of MP and i want to get used to the massive levels before i add new ones

who the hell is still playing this crap. the game has been long forgotten.

@below.

lol sonyfanboys wish forza 3 wasn't being played or forgotten. have you ever wonder why sony doesn't report what games people are mostly playing on the ps3. no top 10 games being played. thats because no one is playing these so called great exclusives you ps3 fanboys keep claiming.

thats why your here now. your bored. no one's playing KZ2,UC2,infamous,R2,LBP,ect anymore. you probobly played UC2 5 times. you have nothing to play and no online friends that are interested in playing this crap game. trust me i had it and got rid of it three days later.

it's very strange xbots commenting on AAA ps3 exclusive title.

ah! sure, there are many xbox360 rroded or banned.

Having put a bit more time into this game it's grown on me, I was disappointed at first. Seems to get better as you go through it.

But I still haven't touched on the MP yet, so by the time I finish the single player this will come in handy.

over 200 000 players played online.Dead?

i guess u were powned in this game....oh wait,u never played game.thats right.

All im hearing last days is people abandoning mw2.

most immportantly 360 games still trying to catch up with it quality.

I see bots dont understand meaning of word "free",it logical

I CANTS AY IT BETTER

MS does all this Top 10 rubbish to pollute the minds of the uninformed (YOU DUMB SH1T) of how great the 360 is when it has no exclusives and it's worth nothing but peanuts.

What's the point of you buying and supporting a pathetic excuse of a 1950's toaster when it has no exclusive games and when all of it's so called ''exclusives'' are available on the PC? you guys are dying for exclusives so much that you claim Multiplat games like MW2 as your own exclusives because YOU HAVE NONE!!.

Don't ever comment again you DUMB SH!T!!. KZ2 is light years ahead of that generic pathetic excuse of a pile of sh1t know as Gaylo 3, you can fit every 360 game in existence in to one wall texture in KZ2 that's how far back you cave men are.

Go back to playing your laggy Gay's of War 1.2 on the p2p XBL fish market....

YOU!, free3sixty and the rest of your nerd bridade are all HOMOS!

10m and no pms.

hey bots cliff already fixed the glitchs, bugs,of glitchs of war online?

lol and galo 3 still played this game in 640 p?

halo wars the big flop of the year, still happy in the hype or already died in 1 week?

lol you bots have sad live imo...

Bots can't comprehend the words "free" and "DLC" together in a sentence. What is this strange word free we speak of? You would have no idea.

what's the name of the third map pack? thats the only one i'm missing..

i might get it this weekend..

Killzone 2 does require skill, headshots are the great equalizer in this game. Someone starts shooting your back aiming at your legs, and if your the more skilled player you can defeat him with a headshot. Same goes to the rocket launcher abusers.

This is not the case in COD were the first to aim and shoot gets the kill, even if they were aiming at your feet. In COD I don't even bother going for headshots. I like both games for certain reasons but I feel K2 doesn't get the respect it deserves. If it feels the way it does it's because it has a more polished physics engine that every weapon feels different depending on the weight.

Something that COD physics engine can't achieve , were the rocket launcher feels and moves the same as all the leighter weapons in the game.

Killzone 2 is officially a Halo Killer. Killzone 2 reviews > ODST reviews.

I agree with all the positive comments concerning killzone 2! Especially the A.I.! WOW! This game is a technical and artistic masterpiece, let alone the military like war strategy it MAKES the player use just to survive! Will NEVER trade this game away! Even if killzone 3 is better! LOL!

I can't agree with the comment that KZ2 controls are unreponsive or clumsy. I LOVE how this game forces you to battle with gravity, you really have to carefully place your shots and wrest control of the gun. I'll agree that the patch and the effect it had on spawn points really took away any tactical advantage the spawn points could give (although a very carefully placed one can still swing the tide). RPG's, yes, in tighter maps are a real pain, but they also make for spectacular gameplay, and they're fairly useless on the bigger maps like Pyrrhus Rise. Spawn camping is a problem, but at the same time, I kinda respect a team for having the tactical know how to pin your team down. And NO ONE can argue that this giveaway is a fantastic deal, Beach Head is one of the most exciting maps in multiplayer anywhere IMHO. Everything after KZ2 just feels plastic.

KZ2 MP still rules. I'll be dropping MW2 this weekend for KZ2.

I'm planning on stopping KZ2 though when I reach 100,000 (I'm over 70,000 right now)

I've sunk more hours into KZ2 than any other MP ever, by far.

I played the hell out of the single player and the multiplayer. In my 20+ years of gaming, it is still the best overall FPS I have ever played, in all respects. I traded in COD4 this week, but believe me, KZ2 will stay in my games library FOREVER. It is still fun to hop on and be reminded of what a gem this game is, especially after playing some mediocre fps the general gaming public is gushing all over for whatever silly reason.

Wait till KZ3 drops and shakes the world…They could even keep the same level of graphical quality and just expand on story, give split-screen, new weapons, etc.

kz2 destroy all xbot games. only blind fanboys would bash kz2 and praise gaylo.

I always don't play if they have this. It cheats the system.

I love the fact that i play and earn every points i get which goes to improving my skills in KZ2. For me its not about rank but the actual experience i get. Even now with my rank of a lowly General i always get in the top 3 of any match i play with other people with much higher rank below me in point count after a game. I highly suspect that these players used these double weekends which is good for your rank but not good for gaining quality expereince.

The result is i nearly always embarase them when i score higher then them. When i finally get a top rank i want to be one of the best and not have someone with a lower rank outscore me. That would be unacceptable for me personally.

On topic. KZ2 is the greatest ever FPS that i have played in my 25 years of gaming.

its no give away they are just reducing price on dlc :s

last night, and holy crap i forgot how awesome and intense that game is.

and since i'm not the first to make the comparison: i've been extremely underwhelmed with MW2's single player. it's not as long, epic, or intense as Killzone 2, and while the graphics are solid, they don't hold a candle to KZ2. it's just a fact.

MW2 is getting free passes because it's the sequel to CoD4, and the gaming media (and gamers) have a soft spot for it.

in truth, Modern Warfare 2 is the Devil May Cry 2 to CoD4's Devil May Cry: it's gimped, super easy, and doesn't expand upon the original in any significant way.

here's hoping Modern Warfare 3 will be to MW2 what DMC3 was to DMC2.

so far, Killzone 2 is the best FPS experience on consoles this year (Borderlands is more of an RPG, and it lacks anything more than looting and leveling up).

i haven't touched MP is AGES, but i may give it a go. Uncharted 2 MP is more my thing (at least the co-op; i'm not a big competitive online gamer, honestly).

DLC download code giveaway
Still not convinced to shell out for the Killzone 2 DLC map packs? You're in luck, because we're having a DLC download code giveaway this week. Keep a close eye on Killzone.com for full details!

There is a giveaway.

awesome game,slow control

I was playing killzone 2 ever since it came out non stop...then igot MW2...and MW2 online is just toooooo friendly with noobs with all those killstreaks and perks....i think i enjoyed killzone 2 alot better.

got MW2 on release night and have yet to open it, it was a present for christmas but nothing is stopping me using it now if i want, i got killzone with my ps3 and its the best shooter i have played so far, my mate has got cod 6 on the 360 and i had a go but i didnt feel nothing for it, granted it was only a short go but it felt plastic in comparrison to kz2, i need to know if its rewarding at all or should i trade it before i open it.

the game has not received the acclaim it should have. i am finding it tougher to sit through long sessions of codmw2 because every stage plays the same...city setting=climb on roof, open stage=stay to the borders of the stage. the quarry stage=never go into the center of the map...i could go on and on. kz2 requires the skill that codmw2 doesn't ask your brain to utilize. codmw2 auto aim spoils the gameplay. kz2 aim requires actual aiming. in all honesty, i like them both

psn-southpaw79-always up for a challenge(codmw2 & kz2)

LOL this game left haters asses really lacerated, they still hating on it!!

KZ2 was release early this year and we already have 6 new maps.And now they plan on releasing free DLC.Now we have MW2 on tha other hand that was release with DLC on tha final copy but going to charge console owners later how fuking sweet.To tha millions of ppl that brought MW2 thanks a fuking lot if it wasnt for ya'll this woulnt have happen.

While I played Killzone 2 I was in several top clans, including one of the leaders of the #1, Here 2 Own...which any good player on Kz2 would know about. So I know what Im talking about. This game has a very different feel...if you get good it's the best game you'll ever play. If you suck, you get pissed and give up. That's why the game died, the people who sucked all left and now the only people who still play are European and I can't understand them; so I've moved onto CoD. But anyone complaining about the game hasn't played it to its full extent; Its better than any other FPS out there.

CodMW2's Graphics is Cod4MW+1

the single player had a lot of plot holes but epic during your first play through, after that, it's predictable, Especially the A.I. spawn points. IT's heavily scripted, like a movie and leaves little room for the player to use creativity in the battle field, it's pure challenge is hand eye coordination and reflexes.

Multiplayer (I played on the PC) is the same thing as COd4 but with Killstreak, that killstreak not only makes the player want to kill more but also promotes Camping, why not? camping = less death. The Level design of the map is somewhat linear, they designed it to have specific spots that balance each other out but numerous play through it's still the same game. THe spawn logic of the game is flawed as it will spawn you 10 feet away from an enemy.

-------
Killzone 2 - Graphics is a Generation Leap. Unmatched by any game on the console (my opinion). CRysis although open world, is only pretty on a very expensive rig with DX10 that runs it, if lucky, 30 - 60fps lock. If you want to compare crysis on a rig that matches the price of the PS3, Killzone beats it in terms of performance and Graphics.

STory, lacks depth but it does its job right. People get offended by the F-bombs but plays games that shoot people, is that Irony? Scripted but A.I.s are intelligent enough that every play through forces players to use different tactics, making it not repetitive.

Multiplayer, Compared to CodMW2, isn't as deep in terms of customizations and unlockables, but the game allows the players to be creative and leaves plenty of room to experiment tactics and strategy. Spawn Points are amazing, the instant kill forces tacticians and plalyers not to spam an objective and to think tactically. The classes are balanced out when not abused (yea, Assault Class is sometimes abused but can only be solved by putting Friendly fire on). The ability customization is awesome once unlocked as you can have multiple roles in 1 class and offers new gameplay, who wouldn't want a Sabo with repair abilit, run behind enemy lines, repair a turret and mow down the opposition?

Overall, I like KIllzone 2, it makes me think tactically, it leaves room for strategy and tactics, lots of challenges. It's a shooter not only requires fast reflex but fast thinking. CodMW2's maps have plenty of concentrated Areas where the Designers want you to be there, it balances out but it basically makes the gameplay repetitive because there is a lot of "do not go there" zones and the skill required is less thinking but more reflex.

Cheers Ravenger, mw2 just seems like a big map pack to me, the only issue stopping me is a most my dumb sh1t friends are playing it, they havent even tried killzone even though you can pick it up for a quarter of the price of cod, i really like the look of bad company 2 shame its not out for a while. listen when i say people, KILLZONE 2 IS THE MUTTS NUTS

The DLC is so beautiful and visceral at the same time; the surroundings / environment in the maps feel sometimes like a living entity. It's worth every cent I paid for. Nice to hear they will give some away for free.

Sony really does need another mainline shooter franchise. They pretty much gave up after the PS3 generation, and I'm really surprised they haven't tried at another high-profile, singleplayer-centric shooter; even if it weren't Killzone or Resistance.

I miss Killzone while I can see why they still do Horizon has some really good things but I do think that Horizon is overrated imo.

Or how about studios focus on projects that they feel passionate about, and not be forced to make something they have little interest in. It shows in the final product.

It’s still got potential for the modern era. The DNA is all there. The install base is there. The interest is there. The time is now.

Killzone 2 and 3 were farkin brilliant and way better than halo

Too bad they've abandoned em smh, then theres sony barely even acknowledging what us fans want. Every time they sale a certain high amount it get like that with them smh

Because Killzone games are awesome, that's the reason.

New ip after 3'rd horizon please 🙏

Give it to Bungie. The Helghast are awesome enemies and Bungie could make something really cool

not enough interest to keep it alive

I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first.

Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle.. but Warhawk was the best arcade shooter I ever played. Back when you didn’t have battle passes and you actually had to get certain amount of kills or ribbons to unlock different paint skins on the Warhawks and armor for your player.. Look at the success of Helldivers 2, it’s a fun game and it reminds me of Warhawk in a way. I’ve been wanting a remake or sequel since the beginning of the ps4 gen.. it’s hurts to have hope nowadays. Even with the demise of the studios Sony has a steady fan base.

Killzone game after Killzone 2 play style would be nice

Motorstorm would be epic with the visual upgrade, maybe this game would be a harder sell with the genre being not as popular nowadays..

Resistance franchise, Motorstorm and Dirt 2 which was fun as heck. Add Dead Space 2 as well.

I quickly looked and only saw the words PS5 Remaster and a picture of Fall of Mans logo

Ahhhh shit, well maybe one day

Resistance 1-3 remastered with online

Kill zone 1-3 remastered with online

God of war PS3 games and PSP games collection

Infamous 1-2 with all dlc please we need this. It’s such an underrated franchise and so much potential. In this age of super hero media craze Sony should utilize infamous

White knight chronicles 1-2

Warhawk and starhawk

Motorstorm series

MGS4

Easy money would be to remake Resistance and Killzone series, rather than just a remaster. And PS5 desperately needs some couch co-op shooters so this would scratch that itch.

Infamous 1+2 and KZ 2+3

Deus Ex Human Revolution

GTA IV needs one.
Still stuck on PS3 and 360.

PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me

Nice to see that they included Pupetteer in this list.

"PS3 may not have been the strongest generation"

Meanwhile...just looking at exclusives alone and not even third party titles

Uncharted was born
Demon's Souls was born
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
The Last of Us was born
Little Big Planet was born
Warhawk
Killzone 2 and 3
Infamous was born
Resistance was born
Motorstorm was born
Gran Turismo
Heavy Rain
Journey
Shadow of the Colossus returned paving the way for the remake in the PS4 generation
PS Plus was born

Sorry bud, but the PS3 generation was amazing and featured the greatest console comeback in history.

That said, I'd love it if Warhawk returned or Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to not be shackled to the PS3 generation anymore. A Killzone 2 remake would be insane with modern graphics and that art direction.

I really miss this gen of gaming. It felt like the last truly "great" era for videogames before the modern approach really took hold.

The PS3 was such a glorious console. The UI, the games, the free online...just incredible.

Add Mag to that list.

I would pay good money for a Warhawk remake. Socom too. The last Socom game just didn’t do it justice. Folklore could use a remaster or remake as well.
Several other titles I would like to remade with the amount of visual fidelity the current gen has over the past consoles it could help articulate the games that we’ve loved growing up. I would love even some ps2 titles to remade.. Dark Cloud from ps2, Legacy of Kain series but don’t know what will come of it sense it was bought by Embracer group and all there layoffs.

This strategy is exactly what helped ruin Xbox. Sony more than Microsoft know when to let a franchise go and that is important to keep things fresh. The old games are there if you want to play them.

Resistance series and Killzone 2 & 3 remasters/remakes. Make it happen. They will print money.

FF13 is top of this list for me. No matter your opinion on it, it being the only numbered offline FF out of all 16 not to be on new consoles is odd. GTA IV would be great too

The only reason my PS3 is still connected is because of the Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm games that I still love to play. I am for remaking or remastering them.

Would absolutely love a remastered collection of the resistance games

Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 1-3 too. Folklore and 3 Dot Heroes are underrated gems.

Why remaster games that ps5 players can't access when you can remaster a 4 year old game like tlou2 that was already patched with ps5 improvements

Would love a remake of the first Resistance game and also Tools of Destruction.

A gem of a gen, imo! So much IP to pluck.

Infamous 1&2 will sadly always be ignored by Sony, not even a ps4 remaster the whole gen, smh but uncharted, horizon, even days gone had next gen upgrades sheesh 🤦🏽 mane even tho Sony is still doing pretty good in the console business they are a lil big headed lol, I never played the resistance series but it would of been dope to see those games updated as well, we fans get lil surprises here n there but things we really are into having and being vocal about gets passed over like a mf 🤣😩

Remasters are a waste of time and developer resources. Real Devs make new games.

God I would live a Killzone or Resistance collection. Really hoping for a new one in either franchise down the line, loved both series.

I’d say new sequels instead.

Got be resistance /prototype as well

How much prefer the killzone universe to that of Horizon's.
