Thats good, its actually evolved into a decent franchise, the first one was garbage though. Reeeeally bad.

Yeah it was. But playing offline death-match with bots and your family was really fun. Almost as fun as Halo:CE offline ... almost (if you'd believe me).

Say it like it is! Too bad it's a dying trend. Luckily KZ2 had bots.

Another sad dying trend is offline (or even online) splistcreen FPS. So sad :(

Sweet! Last time there was a double XP week-end on K2 I ended up getting addicted and playing non-stop for about a month.

Gained quite a few levels and unlocked most classes. First time I had unlocked so much in the online portion of any game.

And since K2 is the only game with online trophies that I'm still optimistic about getting the platinum, this is exactly the excuse I needed to get back into it!

If any game should have God of War style remastering (or whatever you call it) for the PS3, it's Killzone. That game was hampered by the PS2's limitations as I understand it. On a better hardware, it could play better.

Especially multiplayer. I remember seeing videos of the multiplayer. The framerate was really bad, disapointingly so.

I'll bite: I got hooked by the Bad Company 2 beta, and it's pace reminded me a bit of Killzone 2's multiplayer, which further reminded me, "Hey, I haven't played that game in a while." Maybe I will pick up those map packs and give it another go.

Anyone want to form an impromptu Kotaku clan/team with me, and go for some trophies?

The slightly laggy control, while it works for the cover based SP, it barely works for the MP.

@rich8606: They released a patch to allow you to change your control options... months ago.

Personally, I never had trouble with it. Everyone was on the same playing field anyway.

God forbid you have to adjust to and/or learn a new control scheme.

@b-radicate: The high precision option? it only makes your analogue deadzone smaller, but doesn't improve the lag. Now it's easier to shoot Helghast's head in SP. Still doesn't fix the lag when you nudge the analogue to aim, it'll be a fraction of a second before your reticule moves. The same with when you fire, there's a slight lag between when you press R1 and your gun actually firing.

I find this tolerable in SP, since you can take cover, you have all the time in the world to take aim without getting fire at too much. But in Mp when you need to constantly move, i find this frustrating.

like that really matters? so you die, then what you keep dying because you simply don't have that fraction of a second? nitpickers will always be nitpickers...

@fernandosolano: This! Thiiiiis! A million times this.

Uncharted 2's online trophies are perfect. Complete 1 Co-Op, complete 1 Competitive. Robert is your mother's brother.

None of this "get 10,002 kills online" nonsense.

No "get a 50 kill streak".

Multiplayer has its own competitive element. It doesn't need an artificial one tacked on.

Yeah, Because I have nothing better to do, than kill ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ENEMIES!

Uncharted got it right.

Devs should not make us slaves to multiplayer just for trophy completists like ourselves. Online players have rankings to oogle over. thats enough bragging rights for them.

@Slagathorian: @b-radicate:
Yeah, that is a killer for me too. I played Fear 2 on the ps3, and saw its online trophies. There were barely more than 1 or 2 ranked rooms, when there were they were started by someone who went AFK. There was ONE time I joined a full room, on ranked, and the people were mostly talking a different language . They NEVER started the game.

Yet despite that, most of the trophies were online. Some trophies pertained to doing things related to C4 in a ranked demolition room. I hate how I will never be able to 100% Fear 2 :l

To the contrary of what I expected, Modern warfare 2 had NO online trophies. This MAY be a game I can 100%, assuming I do it before DLC comes and screws up that counter on the game.

@Kamatari+: What's funny is I wouldn't have minded particular online trophies for MW2. I think having one for getting to level 70 would have been okay (but no "prestige" trophies).

But yeah, screw R2 and its "10k kills." Screw Red Faction and all its trophies for the online "hidden challenges." What a pain in the ass.

Oh double XP. So now Ill break even everytime Im assigned a random for not finishing a game I did finish. Or all the games a host lags out of. Oh and hey a 500XP bonus for winning the game. That'll be a great incentive for maybe my team actually following the rules of Annex and not running around camping and planting nades in span points.
