Killzone 2 Dated.

[Norelco]

I prefer to use medic sub for assault so I can double cure myself. And engineer sub when the "n00b tube" is available.

[Zimman]

I love Assault/eng. Especially when the mode is like defend a target from being blown up. Get a grenade launcer, and just sit way back and load the zone up with grenades. People get pretty pissed at it, but no one even tries to come and find me.

Also, its starting to look like the DLC will not be free. The site that first reported the DLC, was asked by sony to remove the "free" part of their article.

[Akiyama]

Oh. That sucks.

[Kisamoo]

Traded my copy of Killzone 2 to a friend for CoD:WaW. The games sluggish controls and hectic gameplay don't mix well.

[Zimman]

Cant really be certain either way with the price, but that website is all over the Playstation forums, and no one is denying it. Usually if theres something big like that, the developer will come on right away and confirm/deny it, but hes done neither.

And I hate WAW... idk i feel like its the same thing beat to death. And the kills are so random in there, doesn't feel like MW.

Meh, don't think I will get it then, to be honest. I don't really care about 2 maps. Make it 4 maps and a new game mode or a new class and I'm in.

[Insanecyclone]

Paying for just two maps is stupid I'd pay for 4 or 5 but not 2.

From PS 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.

[Zimman]

So that basically agrees with the fact that there will be a price for the maps. Pretty shitty.

Oh, and paying for two/three maps is how companies do it. See halo

[Tomiko]

Well, there's still a chance that it could be free since it says the price is TBA. I'm hoping it's like $1.99 per map, which is still a good deal in my opinion. I'm sure many of us who have Rock Band/Guitar Hero have paid that just for a single song.

Buying map packs on PS3 totally not worth it.

Prime Example is MGO Expansion Packs-- No one bought them, so no servers used them.

Lots of people have those packs, I don't know anyone that doesn't have them, I see them being used a lot.

[Norelco]

Any idea how a sniper can get super high on top of the tall building (on the roof it seemed, above the second floor) in Tharsis Depot with no discernable way to climb/jump up there?

[Zimman]

Its a glitch. Its like the old ones that keep getting found, need to jump on a lot of small ledges and pipes.

[Tomiko]

I think it's the ISA side, but I saw people getting up top there and you start climbing inside the base where you spawn.

Oh fuck win. Liking the Lean & Peak thing, along with the stability fixes and what not. Sexy.

[Zimman]

I cant imagine too many people using the lean and peak though. Glad they're fixing some of the glitches though. Overal a lot of nice little touch ups, but I didnt think it was anything major.

Are you sure the lean and peak update isn't for single player?
