No, but there has been talk about it being patched in. The single player campaign is centred around co-operating with your cpu squad mates and I do recall one of the game critics saying that the feature might be added in post release. I'm sceptical myself but it would be awesome if they could manage it. I suspect it is somewhat more complicated than it sounds though and there would probably be technical issues holding the feature being implemented post release...

edit: I see the thread title has changed!!

A recent developer Q&A said no patch for coop will be implemented. I can't find it but it was posted on Neogaf.

I read an article recently that claimed that 6 player coop would be added at a later date. Unfortunately i also cannot find any proof of my claims however...

This was the link I was referring to earlier;

Will there be a patch for split screen co-operative play?

No.

Bear in mind the question does specifically say split-screen. Online coop is still entirely possible.

Gamespot 10 minute first impressions.

Gamespot will score it low simply because they want to save face. It's a given with that website. When they slate a game for so long, they rarely do an about-face with the final review.

After watching that video, they nit picked at the most retarded things ever.

I hope the controls aren't as bad as they're making out.

Movement lag i can understand, it allows for animations to be more fluid and it won't be the first game that has done it. Allows multiplayer animations to look more natural. Aiming lag though? Can't see any feasible reason why that exists.

Was the dude on the far left, got to love his optimism. "Yea like the graphics are average, low res textures."

I did find him rather amusing tbh

Especially if that prat andre (the girl with the beret) reviews it as he had to put a negative spin on everything

edit: beaten to it..

Watch the review again. Imagine certain OcUK console posters seated in place of the "reviewers". The whole video becomes much funnier, and also a startling parallel to certain posters here

I really can't undertand what he was going on about tbh. Yes the controls are slower to give the character weight, but from my playtime I thought it was a positive, not a negative???

The only thing that took some adjustment was the throwing of the grenades as you have to allow for the time to release the pin.

Killzone 2 graphics above average? He lost all credibility right there with that comment.

Dont think split screen is ever going to be an option without a large downgrade in the GFX dept, but hopefully online co-op may make its way in just to shut some people up lol. Anyway so ive heard you can play online MP games with Bots, so if a few people get together as a friends only game and have the bots as the other team it will feel abit like co-op

You also get XP by playing games on line with at least one other human against bots.

As i said earlier in this thread, while split screen coop has been completely denied, there are rumours of online coop, specifically 4 player coop.

ZOMGWTFBBQ!!!!!!1!!! The lip synching is out in the cut scenes :eek:

Hopefully they will release a patch to fix this or it will be unplayable

online co-op is one of the best things about this generation of consoles, i hope it gets patched into killzone, or at least a Horde mode
