As I’ve said before, not planning on playing this game online until I can create a lobby that allows me to crash a server with friends. ‘Till then, RE 5.

It’s easy for me to join friends’ game…if there is an empty spot for me.
If you want a lot of your friends to play in a game with you, you can make a room with password (you know that right!).
Guerilla Games, please patch the game that enables us to install the game. i feel the loading in campaign and multiplayer is a bit much. Make it optional at least.

Yeah, but then that means waiting for people to join and I just don’t have that kind of patience. I like server crashing with friends in COD because it means we’ll always, no matter what, be on the same team. Yes, in KZ 2 you can join a friend’s game but like you said, there must be an empty spot. Even then, say you do get in, chances are you won’t be on the same team.
Not including an option for people to join a game together pretty much means that the online portion of KZ2 shipped broken. Now, this is strictly my opinion and I know most people don’t care about that, but I will say that a bunch of my PSN friends don’t play online for that very reason.

A working clan system so friends play on the same team is all I want. And make it all available from a Home space.

In Home Game Launching is so needed for this game. A lot of the gripes people have are fairly petty but I guess I can understand where some of them might be fairly right. Hopefully in the next month or 2 cross game chat will be working and with multiple people and these complaints will be demoted from half petty and half right to fully petty.
The multiplayer is NOT broken at launch though. That was little big planet.
I am concerned about some of those glitches. I wonder how many of my deaths might have been a result of that zoom fire auto-aim exploit. Furthermore I wonder why people INTENTIONALLY TRY TO FIND A WAY TO CHEAT IN EVERY DAMN GAME THAT IS RELEASED.
I hope the ban hammer comes down OH so hard. It would be stupid if they used the ban hammer yet never even reset their ranks though. (they should have a unique ranking though at the bottom)
The biggest fix that I personally want is to have each ranking unique. I want it to be a bit easier to get in the top 10 percent or so without having so many people with the same freakin ranking. It just makes it that much harder.

If you read the back of the Killzone 2 box it says “Playstation Home” at the top.

my one and only gripe is the underpowered/useless aerial sentry bot ability, they never kill a damn thing and are only good for the other team as point fodder.

yeah but if they were to overpowered i think there would be alot more griping.
You should be allowed to call in an atac for 30 seconds if you get a 10 kill streek

I haven’t collected all of the Campaign trophies yet. I still need to get the Beat the Game on Elite Difficulty trophy.
Until I get that trophy, I will not even think of playing online.

@nuke that’s a pretty hard trophy, your game has got to be on that day. when you hear the familiar trophy ding for that one, euphoria sets in.
