Killzone 2

[Toshowyouwhy]

Mine's been fecked this weekend as well.

Won;t log in or only will for like 10 minutes. Happened about 6 months ago that everyone was getting disconnected so hopefully it will sort itself out soon.

I just tried again, and although it took longer than usual to get into a game, I managed to play 2 in a row without a disconnect.

I unlocked the spot and mark and it's so much fun on the big sandstorm level.

gee guys stop whinging

ironically mine has been pretty good this week

did get disconnected from a mega game last night which shat me

but overall its been better for me

 

[scooterb]

SEE !!!

its not just me !!!

Nope, it's just you.

I got a new wireless router and the signal strength/range seems to be a lot poorer than my old one (60% compared to around 90%).

I ended up buying a Linksys range expander and the signal strength is now at a constant 100% and I have no more issues.

Camo, how did you get the eight turret ribbons? It's almost impossible unless you have an awesome run at Radec Academy.

Don't get me started on air support. I've given up on that.

 

[Kerrby]

Yeah played fine last night.

It's just Grrofunger. Naughty Boy.

intelligent turret placement.

make sure you put them near the bomb planting mission areas (when it is that gametype) and areas that are regularly highly populated.

you will have alot of them destroyed but if it gets at least one kill it all goes towards the tally.

then all you have to do is set another one up if it gets destroyed once you die.

too easy

 

[scooterb]

Is anyone having issues with C4 detonating?

I planted 3 on a staircase at Blood Gracht and about a million people ran past them and they didn't go off. It's happened quite a few times.

Some sort of 'major' announcement on what's coming next for Killzone 2 on Friday, could it be co-op? Could it be DLC map news? Could it be something else?

WHAT IS THE KILLZONE 2 ANNOUNCEMENT?
With the recent reveal of an announcement this Thursday regarding Killzone 2, many gamers have started to speculate what it could be about. The hottest rumor on the Web is around the possibility of a co-op patch coming to the game. The Playstation 3 exclusive title, Killzone 2 has been getting its fair share of traction in the media circuit. Some have even dubbed it to be the best FPS of 2009. One thing is for sure, Killzone 2 is definitely one of the best FPS out there. I’ve been spending an incredible amount of time playing the addictive Warzone mode, where objectives can switch up on the fly.

According to Gametrailers Spike TV promo video, the show will be announcing something big for Killzone 2 this Thursday. Many have already speculated that the announcement could be regarding a map pack or a co-op mode addition.
Historically, when Geoff Keighley says, “first look at what’s next for…” it has proven to be something like a DLC map-pack. He said the exact same line leading up to the DLC map-pack announcement for Gears of War 2.

There is also a glimmer of hope that the announcement could be a co-op addition to the game. The reason why this is feasible is clearly apparent to anyone who has played the game. In about 95 percent of the game you have a partner there with you during the campaign. Video game journalists have questioned even before the launch of the game as to why Guerilla Games would pair you up with an NPC if the studio had no plans to incorporate a co-op mode.

It could be very well that this feature needed some additional work and the studio did not want to delay the game over this mode. If this is the case, many gamers will be pleasantly surprised with the new addition to the game. Make sure to stay tuned for more information regarding Killzone 2.

I hope it's more maps, 8 isn't enough for me when I only really enjoy playing on just over half of them. I know pre-release a lot of people were complaining about the lack of co-op, but I don't have any real interest in it. The campaign was good, but for me it was more about getting completely comfortable with the controls and enjoying a play through of the story before hitting the multiplayer.

Woot, new maps!

The KZ2 DLC has been revealed tonight and it's a map pack entitled Steel & Titanium. There will be two new maps in the pack; the first will be on the ISA flagship the New Sun (vertical play), and a map featuring 2 Helghan trains running right next to each other with environmental gotchas if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Both are obviously ripped out of the single player missions; nevertheless, they sound fun.

Time-frame is end of April; no price announced but that doesn't mean it's free...

Oh yes, Guerrilla is working on map pack 2 already and the word to think about is "Retro."

Should be good, can't wait to play them, will be a day one download for me, shouldn't too pricey either considering it is just the 2 new maps.

Obviously Map Pack 2 is going to be the Killzone maps.

 

[nicko99]

killzone 2 are most likely going to be free!
Yeah!

From the Playstation Blog:

You may have seen the official announcement of the first DLC map pack for Killzone 2 on Spike TV and currently on Gametrailers.com, but we wanted to reiterate some of the key details of what will be available as well as let you know the official date it will be on the PSN for download: April 30th. The price for this map pack is still TBA.

The first DLC pack, called “Steel and Titanium”, will contain two brand new multiplayer maps with new gameplay elements and strategic twists, sure to test even the most skilled players.

The first map in the pack is Wasteland Bullet, and the action will take place on the bullet train that and transports goods and troops between Pyrrhus and the Wasteland. The game is a frenzied firefight to wrestle control of the train from the enemy and into the hands of your faction. With the train moving at full speed, players will need to remain aware of the immediate environment as well as enemies – hitting an overhead obstacle at this speed will mean instant death.

The second map, Vekta Cruiser, will find ISA troops boarding a vast ship with the goal to repel a force of assaulting Helghast troops while also protecting the cruiser itself from heavy Helghan fire. The action takes place entirely indoors in a frantic and claustrophobic battle where attackers lurk around every corner.

I haven't played much Killzone lately, just a game or two the other night. These new maps should breathe some new life into it. Getting out glitch fixes for some existing maps could help too though.

Sounding VERY good, that train one just sounds insane, could be a first too(?), will be amazing to watch let alone play, the tactics that can be placed are mind boggling.

The other level sounds like a nice frantic corridor type arena.

Just watching some previews of the train makes me excited, cant wait to play it.

 

[scooterb]

I might pick them up, even though they don't really appeal to me.

They better be cheap because that train level looks like it could be very frustrating with 32 players.

I've decided that the turret ribbons aren't too hard. I ended up getting 8 kills last game at Tharsis Depot.

Serbers down?

I'm awesome at this by the way, almost always top 2.

I was having troubles getting into a game this afternoon and I eventually gave up. I wish they would shelve all of their DLC development for now and just fix the damn stability of the network.

Great network, that PSN.

It was a PSN issue? Strange, PSN was working fine for me(And most likely 90-100% of other PSN users).

More like routine maintenence so the (Killzone 2) servers were down.

 

[scooterb]

Definitely a GG issue. I can log onto my PSN straight away and access the web browser.

 

[Kerrby]

LOL, Babby_Boy fails again.

 

[Arecsa]

Patch hopefully coming next week, list of fixes to be released this week. New maps wont be free.
