I'm a huge Killzone 2 fan. The game sold decently (2.24 million so far) and continues to sell. With the game receiving Greatest Hits pricing, I have no doubt that it will reach 3 million lifetime units sold. This is ok, but obviously not in the same league as some of the more massive shooter franchises.
What would Killzone 3 need to have to generate sales of 5-6 million or higher? These aren't necessarily things I would want, but things that I believe would generate sales:
- Campaign Co-op mode (2 player co-op, or even 4 player, as in the just announce Gears 3).
- Vehicles in multiplayer. Greater use of vehicles in single player.
- A solid party system in multiplayer.
- A more developed story in the single player campaign.
- Split screen multiplayer

1. Yes, Killzone 2 always had someone by your side, you need to have a co op campaign 2-4 online/offline - that is split screen like warhawk.
2. Yes but be careful here, make it so that only the bigger maps - bigger than Salamun Market - can use vehicles. I still want the non vehicle only multiplayer maps. There's no way you could or should use vehicles on Radec Academy.
3. Yes, they had a workaround for Killzone 2 but this needs to be developed from the ground up.
4. Definitely, more memorable moments, better dialogs, less dudebro, Rico dying
5. Yes, as said in one up to 4 players split screen co op and also 2-4 players split screen in a compettive match like warhawk, with each signing in with their own PSN ID.
6. Dedicated servers
7. Move and KB+M support
8. 3D support for tech happy people
9. Most important, and something hhg mentioned, have an arcade and sim control type. Have dedicated rooms with the different type of controls and controllers, users can create rooms and set up the controls and control options they like, for example, I can create a room with only players using the DS3, no split screen allowed, no grenade launchers and sim only control options, you can create a room with move and KB+M allowed but no DS3, split screen allowed, and both arcadey and sim control options allowed, etc
