It was confirmed a while ago that Killzone 2 will not have co-op at launch of the game. But then word spread that a patch will be released later on to add online co-op. Later co-op is better then no co-op, right? Well it seems that GG isn't planning any co-op, at all! I guess there is one thing you can say Killzone 2 will lack.
Guerrilla Games has told PSU in an exclusive interview that there are currently no plans to implement co-op in Killzone 2.
"Currently there are no plans for co-op in Killzone 2," said game director, Mathijs de Jonge. "Technically it would be quite difficult to implement it for the story mode as for example the mission sections are loaded in seamlessly – no loading screens , and that would cause issues with teleporting players. Even without co-op it’s still a big game and gamers will have plenty to sink their teeth into."

Actually now that you think about it, any game can have a "good" story if they just pay some dude to write some back story for there game.
Far as i'm concerned, having to axe co-op will make this game lose buyers, as alot of people buy games so they can play them co-op on the story modes.
No co-op always hurts a game more than a bad story excuse to force it in. I've always wanted to play Call of Duty with other people and the whole reason Gears is so awesome to me is JUST because it was so fun in co-op.
It's easy to get over though when a game is great. I'm sure it'll be easy to deal with, Killzone 2 looks pretty tight.
One thing I always find is that whenever we get a great PS3 exclusive, it's marred by the lack of inclusion of something else. 360 exclusives, in my mind, always seem to have the proper package all in one game, whereas we're always left without a certain feature or another.
As for Killzone, I couldn't give a crap about Co-Op. It's not a deciding factor in playing a FPS. For me it comes down to few things, is offline fun and has a good story and is the online just as fun if not more? And from the looks of it, killzone 2 is looking to be massive. It's a shame people base their sole purpose of games off one insignificant thing which was NEVER stated as true it would be on the game. PS3 fanboys stated it as fact and spread it like wildfire and because people bought into it, you're disappointed. I knew the whole Co-Op thing was a rumor. Which is why I didn't believe and cared for it. If they happen to patch it later on, cool, if not, doesn't matter. It doesn't make or break the experience this game will bring to PS fans.
Red you was a summary fine, here it is. Halo story after the first was piss poor and it wasn't great. And MS and Bungie focused too much time on Multiplayer knowing that's where the real prize of playing Halo will come. Which is why it lacked. And Basically Co-Op in Killzone 2 shouldn't make or break you from buying a great game.
In saying that, I'm sure the game will be much like the first one - flipping awesome!
THERE IS STILL SPLIT-SCREEN OFFLINE MULTIPLAYER WITH BOTS - ALL THIS MEANS IS THAT THERE IS NO STORY CO-OP!
Bots is ALSO a godsend among Multipayer games...as the last game I saw with bots was UT3, no more empty games.
teehee love this man.
