Coop/splitscreen are not needed and won't come until KZ3, if at all.
KZ2 MP needs bigger maps, vehicles, a more extensive and harder rankings, more individual modes(eg. last man standing) and most importantly of all....
...the one thing that is holding mp online back
...the one thing that is making MP online boring quick
...the one thing that that restricts the in-game tactics
----> get rid of the fracKen spawn flare and repl...
sub par SP? Get real fanboys.
The Sp is very standard but not sub par....but only to fanboys.
MP has huge potential but currently restricted with the spawn flares(& no spawn zones), the easy rankings, small & bottlenecked maps, gimped airbots and lack of inspirational weaponry.
These all can be easily fixed/added.
frack coop/split screen. Fix the obvious and give us weapons, maps & vehicles and KZ2 will be MP online heaven.
Warhawk is well known now as a MP only game.
Time should be spent on perfecting MP/Coop online rather than SP.
Plus if a sequel gets clever bots then SP not needed at all - just awesome weapons, vehicles and epic maps.
It is the only game I regularly play and use it as a standard for most games.
That's why I am a major critic of the stupid spawn flare and no spawn zones in Killzone 2, because I'm comparing the gameplay to Warhawk. Near perfection.
All Ps3 developers should learn from Warhawk the fundamentals that any game should have for online MP.
That's my opinion. It will likely be a new franchise that maybe copies alot from Warhawk.
But if you know the warhawk gameplay well, space combat will significant limit it - won't be the same game.
Starhawk is not Warhawk.
...cover system doesn't work as the gameplay is too fast and you usually get wasted by grenades, binoculars or warhawks and vehicles.
As a diehard Warhawk fan, Warhawk 2 is needed rather than Starhawk. Space gameplay will be significantly different to Warhawk.
Warhawk is now a brand name synonymous with awesome online experience - for those who know the game well.
It's not a perfect game but it's one of the best MP online out there. But it can also definitely be improved with a sequel - not taken into space.
I'd like to see Warhawk 2 remain land based but now a FPS with sprint, roll,...
Just as I warned a few days back.

9 - Not Free
Unless officially comfirmed by GG or Sony themselves then it's not free.
Treat this news as fake until confirmation else the xfanboys will be laughing at you for believing it's free.
BTW: new maps are cool(free or not) but KZ2 really needs to get rid of the spawn flare, make ranking harder and more detailed, more weapons, add vehicles & new maps...
Smaller PsP2 flip top, with dual analog & touch screen?
A $250 Ps3 with a Playmote(Ps3 version of the Wiimote?
All possible in the near future, so beware Nintendo.
When a hand held can do 1080 on your 52" HD TV or deliver Gears 2, Halo 3, Killzone 2, MGS4, GT5P, Uncharted etc, then ask the question.
Otherwise handhelds will fill the old-gen gaming experience market - not next gen.
If MAG includes a wide range of fully usable air & land vehicles then effectively MAG would be BF2 with 256 players instead of the PC's 64 players
Gameplay sorted. BF2 on an epic scale? Hell yeah.
Enough said.
Aside: c'mon DICE, give us console gamers the proper PC BF experience instead of the gimped BF:BC.
Just give us the new Playmote controller - ideal for shooters.
...but also depends on how well the action is implemented. Otherwise, I see no real need to Third person unless its a button-masher action game like GoW, HS, DMC etc.
Warhawk would be a much better game as a FPS with sprint, roll, climb.
The 720 will essentially be a IMPROVED or EVOLVED version of the 360:
* higher quality build
* improved GPU, CPU - evolved not revolutionary technology
* alot more RAM
* X-mote(xbox version of the Wii-mote)
If MS(and Sony) have any sense, they don't need to produce an expensive revolutionary console. They only need to improved/evolve the current technology. This means a much cheaper release console and hardware that developers know already how to program...
MS will learn from its mistakes with the 360 and the success of the Wii.
The 720 will be a high quality machine plus have an X-mote(xbox version of the Wii-mote).
Dammit. I was hoping MS would pull out of consoles and focus on games only.
Unless officially comfirmed by GG or Sony themselves then it's not free.
Treat this news as fake until confirmation else the xfanboys will be laughing at you for believing it's free.
BTW: new maps are cool(free or not) but KZ2 really needs to get rid of the spawn flare, make ranking harder and more detailed, more weapons, add vehicles & new maps. I'd gladly pay for all of these IMPROVEMENTS to the game.
Can't wait until vehicles come. The Mech & brief tank level in SP was awesome.
If you have played BF:BC or warhawk recently the vehicles won't be any problem, Tanks/Mechs will add a new dimension to game play.
Sheez, just imagine trying to line up an RPG on a Mech that's sprinting & jumping about like crazy - it will be crazy.
They really should get the patching sorted first before DLC.
PATCH
* redo the ranking, making more comprehensive and more difficult to get
* free up MOST weapons and ALL primary abilities
* get rid of the spawn flare and replace with spawn zones
* make the Turrents and Airbots more deadly
* fix the slow-as controls
Simple patches that would significantly improve the game.
DLC
* new maps
* new weapons(knife, Light...
Yes, you can make mistakes and still be the better system.
They aren't mutually exclusive.
As a PS fan, I simply like the 360 more: better build quality, feels better in hand, battery option, triggers.
The best location of the analogs are debatable.
Sony should have totally redone and IMPROVED their controller as MS did with xbox & xbox 360 controllers.
