Killzone 3 Multiplayer Coming to PSN As Free Standalone Download

Sony Computer Entertainment has confirmed via the Official PlayStation Blogcast that you'll be able to get your hands on Killzone 3's multiplayer via the PlayStation Network as a standalone free-to-play download or a paid version with total access and no XP level cap on your progress.

All of the standard Killzone 3 maps will be available with the free PSN download, but there will be a level cap applied to the amount of XP you can accumulate, with the option to pay $14.99 to remove the cap and subsequently unlock the skill tree after reaching the imposed level cap.

There are no plans to offer a similar free standalone version of Killzone 3's single-player campaign, and it won't be sold seperately. However, if you're interested in Killzone 3's multiplayer only, then this separate free PSN trial offers the perfect chance to get involved. It'll be available to download from the PS Store next week.

Why bother? Plus #8 is right, I've seen the game sealed for around 14.99, I'd much rather have Killzone for PS2 classics at any rate.

People keep telling me that K3 is amazing online but I'm still yet to see it and I've put a considerable amount of time into it as well

How about uprating the mp for this and stop moderating KZ 2 MP so people can actually platinum that game and start enjoying it

I didn't really like this FPS.. But it was atleast Unique.. Just didn't have the IT thing that kills Halo and CoD.. LOVED the unique sound of the guns though and the environments looked kewl.

@12 I platinum'd KZ2 without any problems in multiplayer... Why should a platinum be easy?

I did quite like KZ3, but I think I preferred the multiplayer in KZ2. I couldn't say why, I just got really addicted to the second game online whereas the third was just kinda meh. Still, nice to see them offering something up for free. They made their money on the game, so why not?

@5 as much as I like Killzone, it's no Halo killer. Great idea by Sony to boost the online community.

This would be great if Killzone 3 wasn't awful. I'd definitely take Killzone 2, but I think I'll save myself the time and not bother.

Guys, I believe everyone here forgot to mention that this is for NA only. So, ehh, if you're an Eurobro.... well, yeah, no free MP for you.

A shame, I'd say, because having the MP be free2play is really, really cool. I bought the game on release date, and it's been a while since the MP was really, really active. Guess I'll have to jump onto US servers next week.

i wonder if this is a test. You know like when God of War Collection was released and sold well. So now we have a ton of HD collection. i wonder if Sony is seeing how this works out so they can bring more free to play online games.

This is a very good idea. A great idea! I had played the Homefront demo for months before finally catching it on sale for $15 in store. If it weren't for the demo, I'd have skipped over it.

Considering how it's becoming harder each year for games with MP to compete with CoD's longevity and subsequently the online population in MP games quickly drops after 1-3 months, allowing gamers to buy a full MP experience for a small price is one of the best ways to get longevity. I think Sony would be wise to consider doing this with the Uncharted and Resistance MPs, since while they have dedicated fans, the numbers just aren't there.

This seems a total waste of time on sonys part as u can buy the game around tenner n the mp is too "CODed" up anyway its rubbish compared to kz2's hench why it's pretty dead.

Just buy the full game for the same, if not less than the price of this. The game itself is great. And someone else already hit the nail on the head, the mp is kinda lifeless.

I wonder if we'll be able to earn Trophies in the f2p version... If not hopefully in the $15 dollar version we can.

@21, not on the DLC maps, it always ends up a 2 vs 1, maybe this will change that, I finally got 100% and dont think I can go back to it now...

March 6 cant get here quick enough! Can a femshep get with Miranda, thats my goal!

Cool concept but a waste of money in my eyes. Eventually online will either have no community or the servers will get shut . Then you will have paid to clog up your HDD

If u actually like it just go buy the game. Get it used there is no online pass for it. And if u have PS Move then this game is perfect for it. Got my platinum for this only using the Move (other than the co-op trophy).

I urge people to give it a try at least, it's a pretty good MP.
