I hope not. Controlls in the zero section in singleplayer weren't great. I don't want to shoot while awkwardy floating around.

And wouldn't gun recoil make you spin backwards like a motherfucker in zero g?

There was zero g section in KZ3, you had magnetized boots. You just had floating debris cover and lot of visual stuff, but other than jumping and muted sound effects, it was same thing.

No one else is worries about declining MP numbers?
I've seen a massive falloff for my time zone PST.

Why worry, just play the game and enjoy it, also free maps is a good way to entice people to play. You don't need to have CoD like numbers of players online to have an active community, there is tons of open games to join in SF. With similar numbers you still got lot of folks playing years later KZ2 and 3

Hope people are still playing when these come out

I wonder if the free maps thing is going to become regular for Sony. KZSF, KZM, and GoWA all did it. I could see them making DLC maps free to extend the community and adding more paid personalization stuff like in GoW and KZSF.

The Last Of Us also got some additional free multiplayer maps iirc.
I appreaciate it.

Making critical content free for everyone and offer optional stuff like skins for money is a DLC model I can really dig.

As long as there are enough people playing to have even one warzone going I'll be a happy camper

Waiting for my updated Radec Academy.

pls go. Radec is garbage.

Yes but we'll reach a point where people just abandon it altogether if the numbers keep dropping.

I hope it catches on. I could see it being really profitable as well since people will probably be more likely to drop cash on customization if everything else is included in the $60 and skins cost so little to make.

I don't want this map. Spawn camping would be atrocious with spawn beacons.

 

[Moofers]

TLOU maps were not free. They came bundled in with the season pass.

 

[njean777]

Waiting for my updated Radec Academy.

That would be so awesome. Fucking loved that map. The rockets would be flying everywhere and just pure chaos everywhere.

 

[Joeki11a]

Free maps in this day and age really is a miracle.

KZ is not a big brand that would have people buying season pass and map packs

 

[bombshell]

So are the maps only going to be in the custom warzones, or will they make them part of the regular rotations

The regular official playlists are also custom warzones, just official ones

 

[Swauny Jones]

Is Cruiser going to be zero g?

That would be awesome for that part of the map. Would be a great dynamic to play with.

 

[FriedConsole]

Is there more people playing MP now? Back around launch there was always less than 1000 people playing which struck me as really sad. I traded the game in because the SP was so bad it kind of ruined everything for me.

It is still around 1000 people when I played a couple of days ago. I don't understand why people need more that 100 people as long as they are playing your game type. I was playing Unreal Tournament 2008 yesterday and it had 10 people which was enough for me to play a game. I can always get in a game in Killzone within seconds. Nobody is going to play non-Guerrilla created Warzones regardless of the number of players.

Plus thanks to bots I would be OK if there would zero players. The bots are surprisingly good in Killzone games.

 

[Sophia]

I've seen anywhere between 400 and 1500 players depending on the time of day. Which isn't exactly good. I hope these maps (and patches) bring the playerbase in, because the multiplayer is genuinely amazing.

The Cruiser looks like my kind of map too.

 

[AndyD]

Is Cruiser going to be zero g?

Zero G would be tough to play, but I would like to see a low grav map/mode.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Free is good. They need to fix the spawn camping though. Depending on player spawn beacons is not enough. At this point I'm more interested in the co op...

 

[Bishop89]

They both look sooo cool!
So happy they are free.

 

[genbatzu]

any news about the season pass included DLC releases?

 

[madmad90]

Should tell you something, that these maps are free. Although its awesome for players, it also seems to mean that way to few people would actually buy them.

It's because of all the damn hate the game gets online, which isn't even justified imo.

 

[Dibbz]

Player counts are same as before for me here in Europe. 1000+ on TDM and 1200+ split across Classic and 24p Warzone.

Also madmad, maps were announced free long before the game was out so take your conspiracy theories elsewhere.

 

[Square Triangle]

I actually just rebought this the other day.

And wheres my sab class

 

[EGM1966]

How do you "reveal" new maps with a brief description and single screenshot of each? Where's the in game pics, or video fly throughs?

Easily - given as a "reveal" is going from knowing nothing to knowing the basics. TBH they could have provided less info and it would still technically be a reveal.

Further videos, etc that explore the maps would be welcome though.

 

[BattleMonkey]

That doesn't usually happen unless a game is strictly matchmaking, which this isn't.

Heck I play Star Wars Battlefront 2 on a regular basis, that's many years old now and there is usually less than 100 players online, but there is always active servers of people playing.

KZ2 and 3 had similar player counts years ago, and ppl still play that today and it's easy to get into a match.

Umm no, they announced all maps for the game were going to be free many months before the game even released.
