Those of you who have been enjoying the Killzone 2 demo over the course of the last couple of weeks may have noticed that sometimes your A.I. teammates just don't cut it in certain situations. This is one of the many reasons why it would be amazing if Killzone 2 provided a co-op experience, right? Unfortunately, due to the processing load that Killzone 2 imposes on the PlayStation 3, this wish is one that may never become reality. However, this doesn't mean that the team behind the highly anticipated shooter isn't seriously considering it for DLC.

On Sony's European website, Angie Smets, one of the producers on the title, discusses what to expect for downloadable content.

"We're investigating [co-op] now for downloadable content," she says. "We're looking at what would be the nicest possible things for downloadable content. We've already started on maps ... we're not allowed to talk about anything else unfortunately!"

It goes without saying that additional maps for all multiplayer modes should be a necessity, but it would be sweet if they somehow managed to throw in online co-op for Killzone 2. We can dream, right?

---------------------------------

I'd give it.... 50/50. I do hope they get it thrown in though :P

The annoying thing is that they have not mentioned split screen, this is likely to just be online co-op

Even if the co-op can't be split screen some online co-op would be awesome.
As for DLC give me that Helghast expansion I'm begging them to make.

They can provide all of that as DLC? Wow. For some reason I never thought DLC could make new game modes, that's pretty sweet. It's a pity they don't have it in the retail version though.

I wonder if players would rather have a bit of a delay and then have the game come out with Co-op, or possibly get it as DLC later.

DLC can be wonderful if it's used the proper way, but unfortunately most of it tries to scam you.

The very best use of DLC i have seen is burnout paradise. It added day and night cycles to the game, changed even the graphics, added motorcycles, new game modes and everything. Best of all it was all free.

DLC as free seems pretty great, I just hate it when they purposely put a product out without certain key parts (like Co-op), knowing that they'll add it as DLC in the future and make you pay for it. That's bullcrap!

That said, I doubt the Killzone 2 devs will charge for the Co-op DLC (if it ever comes), at least I hope not.

I completely agree with you. For co-op it actually is being added, I would pay around 5 dollars for it, but they should have at least thought of the possibility of online co-op. (something that they seemed honestly oblivious to, but at the same time they put some serious effort into this and I'm sure it must of crossed their minds)

What I reallllly reallly want though as stated is an expansion where you go to play as the helghast in a campaign. XD

Also i forgot to reply to your delay comment and, honestly I'm so hyped up i can't wait, I want to get online with it again. (was in the beta)

This game i can see going on and on with DLC, as long as it's actually worth it and fairly priced. Something to keep us entertained with an evolving game.

A complaint I had about Rockband 2 is that honestly if you just took the songs out, It was just an update of Rockband. That was like the backwards of DLC. Make us pay for 60 dollars that should have been an update then an extra 5 for a song transfer key.

Wow, a Helghast campaign would be a brilliant idea for DLC, now we're talking! Something substantial like that would definitely be worth doing DLC for. That's a hellofa better idea than putting in a few more maps or giving players a few more songs..

I agree.. Helghast campaign would be awesome. It's boring to always play the campaign from 1 side only. Afterall if you read the backstory it would seem as if the helghast weren't the only bad guys. Infact both sides have done some pretty bad things... unfortunately it would seem that gurilla isn't very good at tying the actual story to their games.

I actually made a thread about a helghast campaign, but it was short lived. Check it out there were tons of good ideas floating in there for what little posts it had.
