I bought it somewhat for this reason, however mine is still sitting by my PS3 as Uncharted: Drake's Fortune cut in line. If I get to playing tonight I will throw it in and see how online goes later. But I'm sure someone else who actually knows this and isn't wasting your time like I am will answer before then. :)

Not to mention the bots are perfectly competent. They've surprised me multiple times.

I personally don't think the KZ2 multiplayer is fun anymore , everyone is just running around with a shotgun and team killing. You should have seen the multiplayer at the release then it was great. If you are only getting KZ2 because of the MP I cant recomend it to you.

Im getting Killzone 2 soon as well. Just 1 question, is the multiplayer free to play? No fees or anything?

No fees, but everyone seems more willing to play on the DLC maps. If I recall, you can't actually see those lobbies if you don't have them either. "

I just played it today. There's still many people online and it's still as fun as it was when I picked it up. 

I just started playing this last night.  The thing I immediately noticed and thought was awesome was the match making system.  I LOVE how this game lets you play against people of the same rank as you.  Starting out as a complete noob, it's great fun to be playing against others of same skills/weapons.  It's a far cry from playing the Call of Duty games, where you get thrown in a room with top ranked players that have all of the weapons and attachments unlocked and have to slog it out to rank up.
 
I really like the games constantly cycling too, so you get a taste of everything instead of just one game type.  I didn't see much camping either, I guess the absence of killstreak rewards actually force players to move around instead of hiding in a building for 20 minutes padding a streak.
 
Last night I had more fun playing Killzone 2 online, than I ever have playing any other shooter. This game is A+.

Good luck getting games without the downloadable maps. That game is not worth buying now for what your going to get. The singleplayer is lackluster at best, and the multiplayer is only appealing for a couple days. I would rent or borrow it to play some of it because graphically its amazing.

I bought the game a few days ago. I love the multiplayer, and I will buy all the extra mappacks, I think even tonight :-) 
I've played a lot of Modern Warfare, ande some Resistance 2 and Warhawk, but yeah, Killzone 2 is easily the most fun multiplayer shooter I've played as of late. I like the "sluggish" controls, as they fit playing on a console, and myself as a person aswell.
 
Well, back to Killzone 2, and as I said, need to get the new maps.

yes.  
 
its an excellent MP and the online is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry well designed. better than most games, especially mw2. clan support is GODLY

Dude, the online is good. It can be played very tactical so join up with some friends is what I recommend for online play. But, even thou you might be mostly interested in the online, I strongly recommend you check out the campaign! It is actually really good. The story and characters might not be top noch, but the gameplay and the way you progress through the story is good. Overall, the single player is the strongest feature in the game imo.

I still play multiplayer from time to time, and whenever I go online, it's flooded with people playing. You won't have any problems finding a match that's for sure.
