Killzone 2 -- it's the game that dropped all our jaws with it's impressive unveiling at E3 '07. With unparalleled graphics, an innovative first-person cover system, and promise for an addictive online mode, what's not to like? The big question remains though - when will we finally get to play it?!
One already known fact is that gamers will get their paws on an online beta before Killzone 2's official release. Guerilla Games' lead tester, Seb Downie, confirmed that fact earlier this year on Killzone 2's official forums:
"Of course there is going to be a public beta. I have always said that any game that has an online mode needs to go through a public beta to ensure it works as intended," asserted Downie.

Awesome!!!! But of course I already knew there was going to be a beta.
sweet
omg 3rd!
and... AWESOME!
i wonder when the game is going to come out if their just going to start to have a beta early next year.
At least we'll get more info from psu on killzone 2 next year
great news, thanks guys
@blacktuxedoman - The article says mid to late '08 for the full release.
I haven't been in a beta before i hope this one gets released outside of the US
As long as this game is taking, it had better be freakin AMAZING!!
2008 is going to rock so hard! If it gets any better the awesomeness will resurrect Dimebag Darrel and spark a Metalocolypse!
sweet ass
Okay not to throw water on the burning love for the game but I think we ALL know it's going to get judged more on it's multiplayer than it's expectedly beautiful singleplayer. So the question is: what are they going to do that makes it "addictive"? The previous KZ was a good game, undeserving of the hate which it received only because it was perceived to be some kind of "halo-killer" by the media. But if the original game was fine on it's own and not only Halo but but Haze, Team Fortress and how ever many other games out there with multiplayer are being called some of the most exciting multiplayer experiences around, what can KZ do to stand out?
I propose not just 4 player co-op but a whopping 16 player online co-op campaign with several missions. What it comes down to is this. People like playing with others and the more people you have the better. Everyone loves Co-op but frankly the ammount of it lately has been staggeringly weak. You want Kill Zone to kick A55? then this is what's required. Other wise it's just going to get dumped on as an expensive but weak and disappointing game dispite having the greatest graphics on a home console game ever created.
Thank you.
Lets hope a beta may surface on E3 or earlier or at the very least PSN release to a select few..
OMG. I really want to get into the beta. i really wanna pl ay this game
Schaweet. KZ2 gotta be the best fps ever.
killzone is my b*tch and i want to make sweet love to it
This game looks godly...
Sick, One thing though if a game is ever to be compared to Halo they must have a great theme song an soundtrack, I must say the one thing I enjoy about that game is its theme song. I hope Killzone blows it out of the water though like it did at E3 this year
You guys have your release dates so wrong. This game should be out around feb-march not jully-aug. They need this game to comeo ut a few months before MGS4 so it wont get trampled in the hype. LBP in Jan-Feb. KZ2 Feb-March. MGS4 March- June. Anyways this game will be top notch and i can only wish to get in the beta.
Yeah, a beta! Now Sony it going to give us some real taste of what Next-Gen is going to be ^_^

nice,can't wait for this game.
@Quijiba That is so so wrong and a little sad
I don't know I think theres a chance that this game might not even come out till 2009.
Not to be negative, because I'm really anticipating this one, BUT: I'm actually getting kind of bored of hearing about KZ2 and it's impending awesomeness. No new trailers, screenshots, gameplay footage, whatever else. Constantly getting the "wait & see" comments gets old after a while.
What I think is going to happen is that the games release is going to be very anti-climactic. Sort of like how ND said of Uncharted being shown too early. Well, at least for me.
well it better be an open beta...that way I can get it using my own methods, like the warhawk beta !! MUHAHAHAHA !!!
If there is anything that I don't was this game to be, it's rushed. So take your time Guerilla.
this game is the reason why i brought a ps3, hopefully kz2 will inspire other developers on making quality games and not quantity, thank you guerilla for showing the world what ps3 is really capable of.
lp47PS3 is right...the release date is still slated to be around feb-march, no delays or anything announced yet, even though it is very likely that there'll be a delay. But this won't hurt KZ2 for sure, it can only get better and let's just look forward to Spring 08, then we'll know much more for sure. The Beta is around January or February I reckon
This is why people get disappointed with games. Too much hype.
If this game isn't SYMPLY AMAZING they better roll some heads.
psn id: gingo... i really hope i can get in this beta but if i dont i can wait until the end of 2008 for this game becasue it is going to be awesome
The original Killzone went through a beta. I was a part of it and a lot of the technical issues weren't addressed in the final build. The online turned out to be a disaster.

Just hope this has keyboard and mouse support and in 1080p, there had long enough to do it.
yo blattberg you's a mad noob
i challenge you to a Halo 3 sesh
i'll
I just hope they dont limit the beta as much as they did with Warhawk, where only journalists had the priviledge to enjoy it before anyone else.
*!~cool~!*
Crazy, this should be "baller"
people are crazy you know killzone is going to be based off of HOME and we all know home is coming out in the early spring so yes I believe it's coming out in probably June. why do we want it out so early I dont want a rushed project I want them to have all the time they need to make this game flawless as possible. I want the story to be intriguing and the multiplayer to be intense. These are key assests to making a good game.
Anoher great exclusive from sony this is why i brought a ps3.May be it will be the greatest shooter since shooters envolved
alrite peeps, i think its 2008, where the 4uck is my beta?!!?!?!?1?!?!
