So, I've noticed that during late nights/early mornings, there are around five different players playing Warzone. I notice that during the day, the game is filled with different lobbies of all kinds, but during nights and early mornings, there is a severe lack of games. It would make sense in saying that everyone is sleeping and all that herp derp, but this is freaking Killzone. If even half the people who bought KZ2 are playing this, then there should definitely be more than a handful of people playing. Also, I cannot find a single TDM or Operations match.
I want to get into some games, but nobody seems to be playing.
Did anyone even buy this game or what? I've been in one lobby for the past 45 minutes, give or take, and I'm only playing the same three or four people. Is anyone else running into this same scenario or am I on the other side of The Scary Door? I've tried going to "Map Selection" and picking random maps, but the game never finds anything.
Killzone 3
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Feb 22, 2011
Killzone 3 continues the story of the invasion of the planet Helghan by the oppressive forces of the merciless Interplanetary Strategic Alliance. The game also features an improved multiplayer progression system and refined classes.
No One Playing Multiplayer?
" Also it shouldn't really matter what time it is for you because it could be a different time for other people. If you're playing at night it could be afternoon for others. "That's what I was also thinking. I'm going to try to find a game again here in a few minutes after taking a break from the game, but it is pretty crazy how it seems like 99% of the servers are just GONE during the time I'm able to play this game the most. That's how I got cheated out of most of my double XP time. For some reason the servers weren't working. But I'm not complaining, because I got 48 hours on the "Unlock all abilities and weapons" thing. It just seems odd.
I don't have any issues finding people at night.
Also keep in mind that the MP is bugged. I've seen people complaining and I'm experiencing the same issue. After I d/led the Retro map pack the game will only play those 2 maps. Which is 1 Warzone map and 1 Guerrilla Warfare map. For whatever reason if you join a game with "ANY" as your map selection it will only put you on those 2 maps. To play the other maps I have to select them manually.
Funny enough, that's what was happening to me on launch. I was so glad that my friend got screwed out of the Retro pack so I could finally play a new map. lol" I don't have any issues finding people at night. Also keep in mind that the MP is bugged.

Also, I just got back from playing the game and at first, by quitting to the XMB and then logging out, then back in, and reconnecting to multiplayer, I actually got put into a full Guerrilla Warfare match. It was fun, but I decided to pull out and try my luck again, but no luck. The games are still out of whack. I guess I'll just wait to hear what other people are experiencing and then see what might be wrong here.
It's a little hard to believe that this is only day two of release. I played the beta for so long that I feel like I've already played this game forever.
I never had that issue, I always found people at all times and the matches started really quick. Maybe there're trying to avoid you.
I also had no trouble finding games last night; I played some of all 3 types. Although I will say it sat on the Connecting... screen for what seemed like a long time
From the sounds of it, there are some problems with the online client, right now. But, on the bright side, you have that totally amazing single player campaign to mess with until they fix the multiplayer.
I've focused almost entirely on multi. The only problem I've experienced is finding the most efficient way to mute everyone. N7, if you want to try and group up and see if your experience changes while in a party, I tend to play around 8-11 pm ET. PSN name is keef_psn.
" @N7 Do you live in Europe? Because in Europe the game comes out tomorrow. "yep, its loaded here in the US.
the online is fucking awesome.
playing on the old maps is weird though lol
I've actually noticed this issue in the mornings, among other multiplayer issues. I'm on around 6-7 ET and it seems like a graveyard. I've been in some matches with 2-3 people and no one else joining.
@N7: Yeah, that's so weird, man. I'm glad it has bots, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to do anything on it. I know this is random, but are people still playing Resistance 3 online? But yeah, back on topic: That's just odd. I remember playing Killzone 2 a long time after it's release and there were still multiple servers running.

@huntad: I have no idea. It was pretty busy around release, but I've got no idea what it's like now.
I just got on after a long hiatus and it has a few games going still. Nothing like launch. It sucks to because the game isn't bad, it just got overlooked by a TON of other shooters that came out after it. Also, I cant seem to sell it to anyone for more then like 5$ which sucks since Gamestop still wants 50$ for it and mine is practically new just without the plastic and the new game smell.. I love that smell >.<

@McShank: Only a few? Is there a server browser? Man, I hate the fact that these shooters like Killzone 3 and Resistance 3 get overlooked when bigshots like BF3 and MW3 come out. They are great games.
whe I said few, i meant after 2-3 games It started taking longer to find games so I am guessing that there are not that many games going on. It could have just been when I was playing or that it was during the middle of the day since I had 2 weeks off before starting my new job. I haven't played since but I honestly think the game is pretty much done. There will still be games going on but I doubt it will ever get even close to what it was :(
