Killzone 2 Dated.

[Ragnell]

GG devs played yesterday, was advertised on PSblog with the passwords for the rooms, got to play with some of them on the new maps, thought it was funny some of them weren't even at General rank yet

I'm doing a killzone playing spree most of this week trying for that damn Valor Grand Cross trophy (top 1% for the week). Doing okay so far, ranked in the top 100 if anyone wants to add me my PSN is TheManick

which gun do you use the most?

[Shojin]

Depends on the map/class I'm playing, but I like using SMG's for smaller stages and the Assault rifles for the larger stages

[Ragnell]

No shotgun/HMG eh..

What rank/Achievement is to unlock the rocket, I've seen a ton of rooms named NO ROCKETS and how cheap of gun is it....yea i know it's a rocket launcher...but still

[Shojin]

Depends if you're good with it, when I use it (usually when everyone is being rocket spamming faggots) I can rack up 120+ points on the winning team

[Shojin]

Its whenever you unlock the Assault class

[Priran]

rifleman also gets it when you reach the rank between engineer and tactician

[Tomiko]

Finally got around to trying out Vecta Cruiser.

Its ok, but kinda reminds me of Radec Academy. Notes:

-For Helghast Assassination, there's a big room (I think it's Helghast base) at the edge of the green area. The best spot to defend your team is there. Just stand in there against the wall at the corner of the room which is also the corner of the green box if I remember right. I was surprised this was considered in bounds.

-Its easy to keep the ISA locked in their base. There's only 3 doorway exits (that I know of at least) and they're all right in the same spot. At least Radec has the sewer exit which is away from everything.


Still loving Wasteland Bullet. Getting hard to find matches for it though. One match was 2 vs 1 then the 1 left so the other guy and I were just messing around. I went and fixed everything on the train including the gun at the top of the other team's base.

One match on the train got annoying when most/all of the other team changed to assault using rawket lawnchairs. Still <3 sniping on the level though.

Love this game. Got back into it sometime last week. Top 6% honor thing just now!

EDIT: anyone else disconnecting constantly?

[Shojin]

Got platinum on this the other day and it was a lot of fun, the trophies aren't ridiculously hard like some games. Hardest one had to be complete the game on elite difficulty, last stage with Radec and his troops is just a huge pain in the ass!

I've had to pretty much resort to going in to matches with rockets disabled, because every match I go in that has the enabled has the rocket spammers. Sniping is a lot of fun, and the spot and mark perk is so handy for Wasteland level.

[Tomiko]

I don't mind the Rocket Launchers here and there or even if it's just 1-2 people, but when that's pretty much all I'm fighting it gets annoying as hell. Speaking of that, I had an interesting weekend playing:

-Finally got my Saboteur Medals. All classes completed now. C4 is fun.
-Got the 10k rank.
-Got my first vote to be removed from a game ^-^.

Game was on Wasteland Bullet. Teams were 3 vs 2 from what I remember and the 2 person team was both Rawket Lawnchair Assaults. Typical shit talkers when they killed someone or got killed. Anyways, I think it was on Seek and Destroy with them defending and I changed to Sniper. I was right outside the door cloaked and he was coming towards me so I obviously shot and killed him. He then calls me a pussy etc etc. A minute or so later I have a vote on me to be removed. No one else voted, but I thought it was funny that he got so butthurt over it that he voted to kick me (assuming it was him that made the vote).

Anyone else had any votes to be removed?

[Shojin]

Nope. But I can't tell you how many times I've gone to mute someone in game and accidentally hit "Cast Vote" instead as it's the first option.

I've had people get so pissed off with me to the point they go fucking apeshit at me over XMB messages. Some people take the game way too seriously. I enjoy the good sports though, if I've been killing a guy a lot you'll hear him bitching (not the bad, personal insults kind) over headset, then when they finally kill you they're all ecstatic and I'll just congratulate them.

The best thing is hearing kids playing the game, talking shit, then their parents come in to their room mid-game and start yelling at the kid to get off. Hilarious

I haven't had any of those, but I would love to hear it.

[Insanecyclone]

Stop releasing 2 maps at a time, fuck. I want to play again but I don't want to just buy 2 maps, well 4 when this comes out I haven't been on KZ2 in a month or so.

Kotaku - Killzone 2 Flash And Thunder DLC Is A Blast From The Past - killzone 2

The second batch of downloadable content for Killzone 2 is due out next month, bringing two maps from the first Killzone to the PlayStation 3.

The Flash and Thunder Pack contains two classic Killzone maps remade from the ground up for Killzone 2. The Beach Head map sees the ISA defending a coastal stronghold against a Helghast landing force, while the Southern Hills map reverses fortunes, with the ISA storming a Helghast compound on top of a hill, assumedly somewhere in the south. Limited in size, the Beach Head map should be good for small skirmishes, while the expansive Southern Hills map is more suited for a large-scale game.

Check out the first screens from the new pack below, and look for the Flash and Thunder Pack to arrive on June 11th, with a price to be determined at a later date.

[Cydewinder]

They look great, they might add more stuff to the update, probably waiting until E3 to say something.

They look like they'll have a good amount of potential. Should be fun to play on.

-Played in a game today and was wondering why my C4 kept blowing up so soon. Friendly fire was on. Changed that ability after I realized it.

-Joined a 1vs1 game on Thrasis Depot (I think). Went as Engineer/C4 and the other guy was Sniper (why, I have nfc). He left after about 3 mins after whining about my turrets. I was mainly using them as a sort of alarm system so I'd know when he was coming since he didn't stay back and snipe me.

-Most fun today was on Radec. Some guy who ended up on the other team told people to pick that level and they did. Seek and Deliver was one sided in our favour. Rather than go outside after exiting the sewer I just went in my base's side then ran out that way to score. Then when they finally got the speaker the run ran through the middle door like most do and found my C4 which made for an easy score for me. Then there was the last objective. Apparently no one else realized the only one left was seek and destroy. So while scoring was almost done for capture and hold I went to their base and set up C4 on the stairs and a turret in the hall. When it started I had both bombs set before anyone else showed. Just waited behind the corner in case and watched a guy get blown up coming up the stairs. Another guy came in the room, but was killed by teammates before he could even try to defuse.

[Tomiko]

Has anyone got the Capture and Hold medal? I can't seem to get ribbons or anything for it no matter what I do.

[Cydewinder]

I still haven't gotten it, I only managed to get two ribbons in a long game, that's your best bet, either that or play C&H only room.

[Tomiko]

What exactly do you have to do to get a Ribbon? I've tried capturing every area but I don't think that worked unless I missed one for some reason.

[Akiyama]

I have. Search Katsumara on the Killzone2 Site if you want, or check. I haven't played in over a month, but basically.. go into a long game, and you have to kill I think 10 people while you're holding/protecting one of your spots. It's not hard at all.
