Thought KZ2 multiplayer was an unbalanced mess of explosives, and often devlved into a clusterfuck, but thats from my limited time playing.
I'd definitely dissect that campaign for inspiration on the next Killzone though. It had the right feel.

That would be the biggest tragedy.
The unbelievable talented Cambridge Studio (ten times better than Guerrilla Games).... being forced to make Killzone games, instead of their own new IP (doesn't matter if it's a FPS, or not) or a new MediEvil. -_-

All my experiences with Radec Academy involved pushing the other team back into their spawn point and trapping them there, or vice versa. Not my favorite map, but still looking forward to re-visiting it.

From the trailer, it looks like Radec Academy is based on KZ3. I prefer the pristine, intact KZ2 version.

It's good to see that they still keep supporting this game. Ten years already, that's crazy. After how KZ failed to live up to it's hype (I still liked it though, to the point that I pre-ordered it) I didn't think the series would continue.

I wish they would do a 1080/60 KZ2 port to PS4...with the MP intact from the original. I would buy that for $30. Nothing touches the joy I had playing KZ2 with GAF teams.
They have done an excellent job of supporting the game. Wish the community was like KZ2.
Please GG take us back to KZ2 MP in the next KZ.

In the close quarters maps like Radec Academy there was definitely a lot of spam but somehow it was still fun. I preferred the bigger maps because it had a little less of this, though even with the spam it was fun and crazy with how much was happening. You had grenades going off like crazy, sniper shots flying through the air, sentry bots and turrets shooting people and everyone else running around. It was chaotic for sure, but fun chaos in my opinion.
I find "organised chaos" to be an apt description.
Their only hope is PS+ release. At least do it for the multiplayer. Shame to let all that great support go to waste.

Its a bit of a pity that its based on the KZ3 version of the map, i also prefer the KZ2 version. The KZ3 version did fix a few things regarding "spawn raping" though, so i guess that is why they are going with the KZ3 version. But all the extra debree and different time of day (different lighting) makes the map feel different in my opinion.

That KZ2 MP was something special. I miss the heavy feel of KZ2 and it's a shame that they ended up changing the game to please the CoD crowd.
What populations? COD?? BF4??
Just because it doesn't have the amount you think it should, doesn't mean it's fully deserted and no one can get into a full game. I'm not disagreeing that KZ:SF Multi shouldn't be a PS+ thing at this point, but the previous argument I think is a bit disingenuous....
KZ:SF was a fantasic beginning entrance into the new generation. It's still one of the most beautiful games around and multi is a blast, if you don't rely on snap/auto-aim mechanics. It deserved better, but I'll agree that Single Player is hit or miss with certain players.
Anyhoo.... Good on Guerrilla on the continuous support...
C'mon Sony, go ahead and make multi free for PS+ members!

It still never felt as speedy or floaty as COD and was still a heavier feeling paced shooter than CoD or BF titles.
you sir have excellent taste!

I would honestly buy a game starring Colonel Radec. He may be a genocidal manic but I want a game where he is the "hero"

Great franchise. 10 years and still at the top. What game will be the killzone killer?

Give me my Kerberos Panzer Corps game.
This is awesome. I'd like a Blood Gratch map all irradiated tho myself. Love that map and Salamun market. Classic Beta maps. Anyway Academy is my third, this is good news.
Can't believe the support actually, because while insurgent pack is kind of expensive, everything in the season pass is a super nice price, because also the main game dropped in price. I hope GG keeps up this model.
Anyone here played KZ1 in 2004? I picked it up in 2006 I think. tbh I loved it pretty much, especially art style and the journey you fought to reach the end.

Well Shadow Fall certainly got the closest to that so far when
you played as a Helghast for the prologue
My hope for the next Killzone is Cambridge developed where you play as

I completely agree with this statement.

I really agree with this. Mercenary is an excellent game, and arguably as good as KZ2 in most regards. It also has a lot more of its own ideas and gameplay features (I fucking love the VAN-guards, both in SP and MP).
Creatively Cambridge have always been superb, but Killzone Mercenary is perhaps their best game yet when it comes purely to the gameplay. Although I've enjoyed all of their games that I've played, they're all flawed in their own ways. Mercenary is easily their most consistent work.
Yeah. I honestly wonder who paid for this content update. The business case couldn't have possibly been there. With BF4 still getting a lot of play, Destiny blowing the doors off (inexplicably), CoD out this week, MCC out next week, I can't fathom who is still playing Killzone.
It's as mystifying as Driveclub still not being fixed yet. Is Sony just giving these studios a bottomless wallet and telling them to do "whatever"? The mind boggles.

They're keeping their MP team hired to 'do stuff' while the creative team finish the pre-production of their next game?
And frankly, I also see this as partially an investment into the next Killzone. Assuming Cambridge takes over the reins of the KZ franchise moving forward, their team wouldn't have the resources that Amsterdam has to create a shit-load of KZ map assets.
Using the assets of Shadowfall as a foundation would be a starting point.

yes! The Academy. Miss those KZ2 good times.
truly, say what you want about the game itself, but Guerrilla deserves a whole lot of praise for the way they have supported this game. Its had its fair share of issues (the game breaking lag problems for example). But GG has been all over it with support, and the DLC has been great, ESPECIALLY for a game thats player base is so sparse. Kudos to them...
I hope they continue their DLC policies moving forward, and i hope that their next game is a smash hit and sells gangbusters, because they deserve it

The older you get, the less each year is of your less, so it feels quicker... that's my theory.

Bah. I don't like this at all. Why is it seem so open?! The original had a really great businesslike claustrophobia about it.

Killzone 10th Anniversary Twitch Livestream. They responsed to a stream(?) user question about Cambridge Studios, to which Herman replied :
- Can't tell what Cambridge is working on right now (duh.)
- Herman is deeply involved with what they're working on
- They're about 70-75 people now, mid-sized team
I'm really liking this multiplayer a lot. I think if or when it goes PS Plus this is a very solid edition to the library for people. The 10th anniversary stuff is fun in game. Changing up the outfits gives the game some needed variety.
MP is a blast and the best FPS on PS4 on that side. I love no autoaim. I think they finally finished MP. It's too bad they had to rush this one for launch. PS Plus should imbibe hte servers with more people. 12v12 is great fun.
They even have plans for more MMO or F2P type valor system. Seems they will go PS Plus at some point.
