Killzone 3: Is The Multiplayer Worth An individual Purchase?

Guerrilla Game's gritty shooter made a big move earlier this week. Though you can pick up the game in its complete form at retail stores, Killzone 3’s multiplayer mode has become a separate entity in some ways. Recently releasing on the PSN, Killzone 3 has taken a digital approach that leaves it’s single player behind. (Killzone 3, PS3)

No not worth buying..

KZ3 is still KZ with regards to objectives, but gameplay wise KZ3 plays like any other shooter out there.

This obviously wasn't the case with KZ2 because it was too different. KZ3's MP is the result of all the crying and whining made by people who sucked at KZ2 .

Yes. To each their own. I think killzone 3 is amazing. I also liked killzone 2 and even though a lot of changes were made in killzone 3 I still like it a lot.

A lot of people love to ridicule developers for keeping certain aspects of a game the same as previous iterations but some have a problem because the sequel is a bit different. Look at resistance, the developers made a different game in resistance 2 but a lot of non fans cried about the "improvements" so in resistance 3 insomniac brought back certain things used in resistance 3 but it sold worst than all previous iterations.

People considers twitch fast pace controls to imitating c.o.d when many games before had such controls. Just stop whining about games and play them how the developers made them. If you don't like it just play what you like. I'm a fan of killzone so I play it like it is. The game doesn't have deal breaking issues like massive lag, massive glitches and all sorts

Please don't ACT like you know what you're talking about kid..

Im getting sick of these casual scrubs thats picking up Killzone for the first time, and they think they know why we act the way we do, you have NO CLUE how long this fanbase has been ignored laughed at and mocked.Killzone 2 has one of the most loyal fanbases around but you wouldn't know that because the last really good Killzone game was KZ2.

R2's failure is kind of why R3 didn't do so well in the multiplayer department.
The existing fans were already soured with R2, and with so many shooters releasing near the same time, it didn't really stand a chance.

As for KZ3, I actually like the quicker controls, but for me, the deal-braking issue is the lack of any server browser.

Aren't Sony giving it away for free?

@ Fatoldman

R3's multiplayer failure was because R3's multiplayer sucked real bad. R2 had the best multiplayer in the series, and I think alot of people were let down because they ditched the awesome 8 player co-op (with matchmaking), and instead went with 2 player co-op without matchmaking. The verses modes were alot more fun in R2, and the 60 player matches were loads of fun. The map design in R3 was juvenile at best.

I agree kz2's mp is a quantum leap ahead of three. The third one was my biggest dissapointment.
@ shredder the reason is because its way better three is terrible compared to two.

Ofcourse it is! KZ2 MP is better tough!
-Alpha  +   449d ago
$15 aint bad for a full MP experience for anyone who hasn't played it yet.

But, for those who have never played Killzone in general, pick up Killzone 2 for probably the same price, and you get a top of the line FPS SP experience + a hardcore MP experience with a good sized dedicated MP community.

If it was the KZ2 MP I'd most likely buy it as I'm not keen on KZ3 MP. I would consider picking up KZ2 again for the multiplayer but doubt there are many people still playing it.

Anyone know if there are still plenty of people playing KZ2?

I still play KZ2 from time to time, usually find a game on evenings (EST, Warzone, ~24 players)

The game seems to have a more active european community (compared to the US), so finding a match will probably be easier if you're from there.

No dice on the DLC maps though. GG should just make them free for everyone. I want some beach head action. =/

why would you tell anyone who hasn't played KZ before to buy killzone 2 when they can play the full multiplayer experience of KZ3 for free? Stimpy! You idiot man!

PS plus is way Better than xbox live gold
SonyStyled  +   449d ago
ps plus is in no way shape or form better than xbox live. are you even familiar to what ps plus and xbox live is? xbox live is a features service, ps plus is a content service. how could you say one is better than the other when there 2 completely different type of services?
Tonester925  +   449d ago
And so it starts lol
dinkeldinkse  +   449d ago
I would say no, but that is because I think KZ2 is awesome and KZ3 is shit.
soundslike  +   449d ago
its worth 15 bucks for sure, I just don't agree with a lot of the balance decisions, and there's quite a bit of slowdown when you're not inside a corridor.
gamingisnotacrime  +   449d ago
For plus members at $7.50 is a no brainer for sure
iistuii  +   449d ago
Really enjoy it, just wish I could find more full games. Great thing about B3 is the server browser where you can join nearly full games instead of joining games with 2-3 people in them like in most other games, especially K3.

Meh to killzone 3 boring campaign and MP , killzone 2 was so much better !!
Drainage  +   449d ago
KZ2 was way better in every way possible except for maybe that one cinematic MP mode...that is only in 3 maps. .. out of the 8 launched. KZ3 was a lazy, rushed, game and if you think im talking crap, google 'killone 3 rushed" and youll find VARIOUS interviews implying it.

Here is a quick google, "Killzone 3 was two months behind schedule, and there was a push to get the game out the door. "It was probably the most intense, complex project I have ever worked on," Sonzero tells Kotaku.
ritsuka666  +   449d ago
This may be no surprise to us, but it confirms what GG should know: this community of gamers knows the difference between a good product and bad far more than any media journalist.
FlashXIII  +   449d ago
Yeah it's worth it.. granted I never played KZ2 but KZ3 is a really fun game and has enough unique stuff about it to keep it interesting for a while.

Personally i hated KZ2 & loved KZ3. Sounds like im kinda the monitory here!?!?
SonyStyled  +   449d ago
i loved killzone 2. at the beggining i was angered by the changes made into kz3. as i kept playing kz3 though i got used to the changes and i think i can say i like kz3 a bit more. however i must say i think the classes where much more balanced in kz2. but overall ive more enjoyed kz3 over part 2
nevin1  +   449d ago
I remember liking KZ3 beta last year. But after downloading the free trial I didn't it like so much. The match i played was filled with campers, auto aim and snipers.

i didn't like it.. theres so much spawn trapping but it looks pretty cool if you play with no hud
MC_KOOL_K  +   449d ago
it sucks balls allright, a penny saved is a penny earned

i do like the maps though but fighting with controls is not my idea of fun
GhettoBlazta  +   449d ago
NO!!! Because it has signs of a Ghost Lobby. But it's a Good Game other than that.

That's the main problem with Digital DL's that have MP, Because you never know if the Lobbies are alive or not. And when you buy it and find out....it's to late & you lose your money, But the Devs & Pubs got supported so I guess you should be happy.....Right??

Too many spawn campers and Infiltrators (enemies who appear as your team mate).
NeloAnjelo  +   449d ago
A lot of players are coming back to KZ2 actually. There are still rooms and even custom games! I prefer KZ2 more than 3. I play both.

Download it and give it a shot.
Hicken  +   449d ago
I think it's worth it. Granted, I didn't like it as much as KZ2, which I think is the best multiplayer FPS this gen, but I DO still enjoy it. And picking it up for $7.50 is awesome.
ninjagoat  +   449d ago
Games well wort it and alot of fun. Ive had the full gme seen release and never regreted my pruchase. Seen i completed sinle player ive done nothing but play the MP great experence and a seriously under rated one..
Adolph Fitler  +   449d ago
It's a pretty awesome idea from Sony to better the chances of keeping the online community alive. I hope they do this with more games. I hope other developers follow suite, as it's a shame when some online games communities die way earlier than they should.
Beastradamus  +   449d ago
Yes it's easily worth 15 bucks.

garos82  +   449d ago
loved killzone 2 multiplayer, but the only reason i preferred killzone 3 multiplayer was because of the tight and responsive move controls. i cant play any other fps with dual shock following mag resistance 3 and killzone 3. the minute they patch in move controls in killzone 2 multiplayer i wont leave it ever again
delosisland  +   448d ago
I love that ur articles have no one talking sh$% on ur games..... Must be nice, cuz I just left forza and halo 4 articles in which people had to spew their f&%$ing mouths off. As a matter of fact, someone in this killlzone articles went out of their way to attack xbox live!! Really...how is that even possible? Some of u ppl make me sick its pathetic. Anyways I actually really like killzone 2 and 3 multiplayer. Although at my friends house we can't get into a kz3 match in any consistent manner, EVER.
