The multiplayer was fun as hell but things got dull after a while once I maxed out the only class I cared about. There is really not much incentive once you max out a class and don't care for the rest. I wouldn't mind playing again for kicks...

Last time I played around November 2011 (before the game got traded) the community was still there but barely. During the weekdays it was hard to get more than 6 people in a match (3 vs 3). On the weekend it was better with bigger teams, but it wasn't crazy active like other games. Maybe MW3 had something to do with it (along with Battlefield 3).

Best of all, Killzone 3 Multiplayer is free to try – you can play any of the maps and modes until you reach the rank of Sergeant I. If you want to keep playing, attain higher ranks, and earn any of Killzone 3 Multiplayer’s four exclusive new trophies, you can unlock the full version for only $15 (UK/EU price TBA). Doing so will net you a 24-hour double XP bonus, 3 free unlock points, the ability to set up clans and custom games, and access to the Botzone mode to help hone your combat skills. - http://www.killzone.com/kz3/en_US/bl...ltiplayer.html

Its not free to play with a level cap restriction. Once you hit the level cap, you can no longer play. But if you do decide to buy it for $15, it comes with all Killzone 3 DLC released so far.

that noise then. I rarely play first person shooters and unless I was constantly playing with friends then I'd likely quit playing very quickly. So definitely NOT worth $15 for me to keep playing after the level cap.

I'd probably do the same in shooting games, where I would play them unconventionally and end up having the vets whining/crying about how I'm 'not playing the game right', as if there's some hidden set of set in stone rules you HAVE to obey when playing a mp game. I've had it happen in GTA before, where people actually whined about me using cars/bikes/choppers to give myself a tactical advantage that balanced out their mastery of the weapons.

So let me get this straight....you will practice at a game to get good at "glitches and exploits" (also well known as being cheap) but you wont practice in order to get legitimately good at said game?

It's people like you who will slowly kill the MP scene of games over time.

Why do people have to use glitches and exploits in order to cheapen a game up and give them a unfair advantage just because they don't want to take the time to learn how to play the game as its meant to be played. There's no reason anyone should jump into a game and expect to roll around slaughtering people, it takes practice and patience.

On topic...Killzone 3's MP is pretty darn good and well worth 15 bucks. Yet as a previous poster stated, once you level up your favorite class (and it happens quickly) it gets boring fairly quickly. The knife kill sequences are some of the best i've seen in a MP game though. After a week or two of playing the game it starts to get stale pretty quick and I ended up going back to Battlefield and Call of Duty.

I think that releasing the MP of a long ago released, slowly dying game is a great idea for game designers though because it brings the game back into the spotlight for a little bit and kind of revives it for the diehard fans who wish there were more people playing their favorite game. Plus it gives the people on the fence about the game a chance to try it out.

My name is loc0bob and I approve this message.

I don't really use the glitches in GTA to 'cheat' perse, insomuch as just to get away from frickin' griefers who choose to make free mode into deathmatch but would likely pussy out and ragequit if they got trounced in TDM/DM.

I did just that a couple of nights, where I voted to change the mode to DM/TDM and some of those same shmucks who were trash talking me over their headsets in free mode got awful quiet when the shoe was on the other foot. They then proceeded to quit out before the game even ended.

I go into modes like free mode to explore, mess around with glitches(a few of my friends found some some floors in buildings you can't normally go into in the main game this way) and have what I consider fun.

Running from some moron in a chopper for 20 minutes who's shooting and killing me just for kicks ain't fun. Sure. I could make a private game, but most nights I join my friends who have created the game we're in and they(for some reason) choose to leave most slots open.

I dont see it? Todays the 28, where is it?

Try waiting for the update, oh impatient one.

Originally Posted by Video-Gamer I dont see it? Todays the 28, where is it?

Store updates a little later into the day, around 5:00 pm EST usually.

don't think he was being impatient, probably didn't know about the store gets updated and then customers have access to new prices/items.

Thanks
As you said - I didnt know when the store updates. Im actually now in the middle east and in here its already 7p.m so I figured id post and ask.

I wish it was around 5pm EST, but lately it's been ridiculous. More like 9pm EST or even later. In fact, last week it came a little after 12am EST on Wednesday!

So before I bother with this sort of freebie. Will I be able to unlock the level cap/mulitiplayer if I buy Killzone 3?

Sorry I'm fairly new to the PS3 Killzone universe only played the original and Liberation on the PSP. I'd rather use that $15 towards buying a copy of Killzone 3.

Yes you can. The $15 download has an additional 3 dlc packs according to people here. That's the only difference.

Hmm maybe ill download it again, did they fix the balance issues? The main thing that made me trade it in after a couple weeks, plus that terrible campaign.

I wished the store updated earlier as well. I need to watch my episodes of The Tester!

I think this weeks update will be significantly earlier. There isn't nearly as much Vita junk as there was last week.

So I'm guess they're not discounting the map packs for those of us who already bought KZ3. That's kind of lame.

Sweet, it comes with all the DLC maps, that should make them much more popular for at least a little bit.

Showing up $15 for me
