Funny thing is, it's been reported that if you delete the patch data saved during first playthrough the bugs will be fixed.

1.2 - For god's sake why the f*** did they not test this before releasing the got damn game?!
Its invites for pete's sake; something so freaking basic. What the f*** is the meaning of this nonsense? This is the same crap that made me vow not to get borderlands. Fail.

I mean to post this here not in Open Zone.

"There is a MAJOR issue with this game.

Listen to the BluRay Drive as the game is playing (I have only seen MP)

The disk is constantly READING and STOPPING.

This is gonna cause lots of failures and its not SONY's fault."

Why the patch? PS3 fanboys said it was best version of the game. I believed it too.

Edit: OMG, why are so many of you running in to downplay or defend this. Geez, are u guys THAT sensitive about the topic? Already, I'm hearing things unrelated to the article such as the short length of the campaign. U guys gotta downplay this somehow huh?

"The people who speak the loudest are the ones who know the least"
I've seen both versions already and guess what, there BOTH THE SAME. No better, no worse.

I think the bug was caused because of the stupid patch they did to stop poeple from getting trophies before release date

Cobblers, the trophies don't work is just because of a bug, ironically caused by that last minute bug fix patch lol

Unfortunately game development just doesn't work that way. More than a few times here at work, we were fighting to meet a release date, which meant the qa department would be sent the build with very limited time before the final gold master build would have to be sent off. They probably follow test cases and what not, but the size of the qa and the amount of platforms being developed for affects how much they can test.

From personal experience, bugs that rely on more than a single player start to slip in games that fight for a release date, since the team starts working very individually. So if the testers aren't well organized, an issue that would require multiple testers to find it could slip.

You'd be surprised how easy it is for an issue to slip through. I think the last 5 projects I worked on were delayed a day or two because a major bug was found at the last moment. Not to mention, if you test a changelist you will almost always find a new problem caused by a fix.

3 - sorry but,
I paid £45 for this. The RRP is £55. That considered; I really don't expect this to happen. Ever.

(by this I mean needing a patch to fix party invites and trophy problems not minor bugs... obv that will happen but trophies and party system should just work.)

4 - Really soon????
Patch is comming on friday. That's not soon...that's a few days later. Soon is in a few hours.

Anyway, now we can see that which version did IW pay attention to to make sure it works perfectly and which version was neglected.

Also IW released a patch to block PS3 users to get trophies until 11-10-09...unfortunately to many PS3 users the patch is still in effect even though it's almost 11-11-09. The patch created a lot of problems.

Yet the 360 version of the game was never patched to block achievements. I wonder why is that?????

Also how dare we expect a product to work fine when it releases??? How greedy are we??? I mean if you get a car and crash it on the first day,....and get into a wheelchair, don't blame the company...the car just came out. /sarcasm

Not to get off topic, but I just got the PS3 version and my boy got the 360 version and LoT is so full of crap. There is no difference between them, absolutely no difference.

this is why you do betas on the PS3 IW, just like what DICE is doing right now with BC:2.

Look at the facts. MW2 promoted only for 360 and the PS3 version was missing for most of the press events if not all. IW will not give PS3 owners a beta ever.

Dice mad props to them. Since 360 got the previous beta exclusive they gave PS3 owners one. Now that's fair play.

FACT : multiplayers beta helps to ensure that everything works before the release as well as testing the servers ..

Sadly there is no server for this game ..

12 - WOW!!!
This is the same COD4 game in everything. Same problems same glithches, same inferior version on the PS3. It has the same laggy online gameplay. How the hell this game get so many perfect scores?
The campain was good but only for 4 or 5 hours. The multiplyer aspect I believe its the worst of any COD released. The multiplayer maps are the worst in any COD also. Too many fukn campers!!!!!!!!! Thats why PS3 players didnt like KILLZONE 2...it was more difficult for them to camp. Also reviews so far seems really biased. WTF the game is good but a 10 in graphics?? LOL! "The only game who almost come close in details is Uncharted 2" . After the reviews this game got, and after experience myself both versions (PS3 and 360) I have to say thet the 360 version looks better with the specular lightning and bloom effects. The PS3 version (as always with mp games) looks like a rush work.
Thats why I dispise about some people who trash talked KILLZONE2. At least Guerrilla went the extra mile making the game look extremely good and detail...only to be ashamed by the biased journalism and some PS3 players who only buy Call of Duty.

Come on Treyarch...bring LEGO CALL OF DUTY next year...there are a lot of PS3 gamers and 360 gamers willing to spend their money in any $Hitty Call of Duty related product.

Yes I spend the money on them too...but at least Im a gamer who bougth games for having fun and support my consoles with their exclusives...KILLZONE 2, FORZA 3, Gears 1 and 2, HALO 3, FOLKLORE, UNCHARTED 1 and 2, RATCHET, MGS 4, KAMEO, GENJI, LOST ODDYSEY, inFAMOUS...and the list go on with more than 200 games combined.

PEACE AND GAMING

u guys are all idiots... when i came home with the game around midnight it worked perfectly. I could join/invite ppl to any game mode. Stopped working around 3am EST when the westcoast got the version of the game and the servers crashed. It was bad anticipation that the game wasn't gonna sell this much on their part. This has nothing to do with them fuqin testing the game or anything. How can they test 500k+ plus live players logging on at the same time to play the game. Plz read or have some sort of common sense when it comes to this stuff. Happened in CoD MW1, Halo, and Gears of War.

13.1 - That's where you are wrong
They where expecting these high numbers. They even stated that they expect this COD to sell the most out of them all. Also the preorders gave them good indication as to how many players will storm online once they got the game.

"How can they test 500k+ plus live players logging on at the same time to play the game."

There's this little thing called a beta... that might be considered an answer?

Looks to me that you might want to "Plz read or have some sort of common sense when it comes to this stuff"

Help me cure stupid. Think, then do.

15 - PS3 needs to have all of this sorted out before they could compete with Live
On the 360 all of this stuff is uniform and built into the code. so they can't miss something like this. All they need to do is fill in the blanks. Sony is getting there but they still got some work to do.

The reason the trophies don't work properly is apparently due to a bug caused by a last minute bug fix patch, the 15MB one, and it's easily solved by deleting the game data utility if you want to play SP and downloading it again if you wanna play MP.
