I'm having a great time with Killzone 2 in both single and multiplayer, which makes me happy seeing as I bought my PS3 for that game. In some ways I expected the single player to be this good, but the multiplayer has really surprised me, because as a gamer in Australia I'm very used to horrible lag or having to endlessly hit refresh on some server list. So it's a great breath of fresh air that not only does this game have an active community all over the world, including Aus, but that Guerrilla actually thought to include a region selector. Those two things have meant that I've experienced no noticeable lag issues in the seven hours I've spent online so far and I can't ask for more than that. Why the hell don't more online games offer a region option, that's what I want to know!

Yeah that's a handy option. Killzone 2 runs well online, with very little lag. This might be part of the reason why. My only complaint with the match making system is I wish you could gather more information about a game before commiting to join it. For example, what weapons / classes have been banned, whether random team assignment is turned on, and whether friendly fire has been enabled.

I agree with you on that, there is very little info on the server list screen. Fortunately I'm still at the stage where I'm just happy to play any match that is low on lag, so long as it's not one of those 2.5 hour matches that seem to pop up now and then!
