so i bought Killzone 2 last night. i guess in prep for killzone 3. so i decided, hey! the new maps are only 11 bucks. might as well give them a go. turns out no one is playing with them! or no one who is still playing killzone 2 owns them. Thats a major bummer.

Yeah, I almost bought those myself until I realized that would happen.  But hey, at least the multiplayer that came with the game is kickass.

Yeah, I thought no one would be playing them, so I decided not to buy them.

That is why i hate maps as paid DLC, because it always separates the community, and are only played for a few weeks before the old maps take back over. 

 i figured the matchmaking was segregating me from the rest of the community who had them.  i guess i was dead wrong.

While not as popular they still get played, just this weekend I got maybe 4 hours in on the DLC maps. So give it another shot. Though after playing some of the KZ3 beta...man can't wait. I think the most annoying part of the DLC maps (besides the lack of people playing them) is the garbage trophy's they come with that dominate the KZ2 list of trophies.

Never buy DLC maps for this reason.  Only games with huge online communities like Halo and CoD have a userbase pool to have their pay-for maps consistently used.

No one is playing KZ2 at all. At least, not in my region. It's been like this for the past 9 months or so - I still half-heartedly check in once a month for a bit to see if anyone's playing - and even on a public holiday, at 6pm, which is usually when you'd find most players.... the thing's a ghost town. Which is really sad, but that's what happens to most Multiplayer games.

I hear your pain. I bought the map pack last year when I first got Killzone 2 and still haven't seen those maps. They never come up in a playlist, no one is ever on them. Killzone 2 is a ghost town because everyone has been playing the open beta and are now getting super excited prepped up for Killzone 3 on Tuesday!

Yeah, I did this a few weeks ago... I feel... pain.

I don't see how "only $11" for new maps is cheap. Then and again, we have MW2 to blame for that.

... I wouldn't pay for new maps after such a long time; especially so when the sequel is due in five days.
