Killzone 2 Dated.

[Cydewinder]

Meh, the patch has been delayed. Killzone 2 patch delayed

Anyone notice if their stats aren't updating correctly? I went 71 and 19 2 matches ago and it only showed up as 59 and 19... I also looked through some of my past matches on MyKillzone and a lot of the stats are simply wrong.

[Cydewinder]

Yeah, the main site has some problems, oh the update is out.

[Elvis]

Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

anyone else disconnecting constantly?

Playing through on Hard Mode and then I hope to go through again on hardest difficulty. Having fun playing single player again and getting trophies. Man there's alot. I'll probably go for most of the trophies on easy mode.

Then start playing online again for anything else I missed.

Still an amazing game. Graphics look even better after playing FF7 on the PSN for a few minutes. =)

Kinda want to get this game, but im so tired of fps...

I was tired of FPS as well, but honestly this is probably one of the best, if not the best, FPS I've played in a long time.

Certainly way better than Resistance 1 and 2 in my opinion.

I think it's time for me to stop holding out on this game. Probably gonna pick it up this week. I think WaW multi just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Although zombies is fun as shit. KZ multi on the other hand looks amazing after watching more vids on youtube.

I guess I'll start playing this again and finish up the ranks but updated earlier and noticed they added 3 more ranks which is good for re playability. I probably won't buy the map packs till sometime in July but I hope it's not on everybody's rotation or I can't play on the server for that long then.

I've only been playing this since spawn protection has been taken out, but it literally makes me want to rage every time I get a bad tactician on my team. They think it's kewl to put spawns in enemy bases, right next to a massive group of them where they can gank the shit out of you.

I usually have to play tactician just to stop the idiocy that happens almost constantly with placing spawn points.

[Blabj]

But on the plus side, Scout is awesomefun, and makes me feel overly powerful that I have a oneshot weapon, coupled with invisibility and a way of seeing where everyone in my eyeline. It's like they want you to camp!

[Starfighterpilot]

I got this a couple weeks ago and am glad I decided to. Did single player on default and elite difficulty settings and am almost general online. Online is super addictive and it is the first game in a long time to keep me playing for hours. I love being an engineer and blowing people away with my shotty. Objectives randomly changing on the fly keeps things fresh and can change up the spot where the action is. It is just very well done. (I still hate the controls and the view even tho I am used to it by now lol)

New trophies on the PSN site all point towards there being another DLC, including two new maps, which have flamethrowers and boltguns as playable weapons in multiplayer.

hueg pic so you can see I'm not making this up, there are various other sources too..

People are throwing around ideas on the KZ forums as to whether weapons will be placed on maps, or whether they'll be added to an existing class (or even a new class?) most probably assault (because it's not imba enough, amirite?)

Either way, exciting news. I just bought both DLC packs and I gotta say they're hella fun to play, I especially like the map design of Beach Head, it actually makes me feel like I'm sat on a cold and rainy beach, with the gust breezing at the back of my neck!

[Cydewinder]

I didn't expect them to put those weapons in MP, that should be in interesting, and the last map pack is great, I really love both maps.

[Blabj]

I'm probably gonna go with the weapons being placed somewhere neutral to both teams on the map, which would likely be highly contested areas (much like Gears of War online has certain weapon spawns which are usually always rushed to for a chance to pick them up) because otherwise why would getting 20 kills with the weapon be that much of a challenge if every time you died you respawned with it.

But hey, huge speculation at this point, they haven't even been announced yet, so I'm gonna wait and see what they decide to do!

I like the new game search added details. The levels look interesting from what little I've seen of them as well.

I need to start playing this again considering I haven't in about 2 months. I still have yet to try out the newest maps as well D:

[Blabj]

I'm looking forward to this now. It's a shame there weren't more little features added, I've been perusing the forums for a while and there have been some good posts about what should really be in the game. One of my suggestions was an adjustable sensitivity level for Sixaxis while sniping. I have my controls sesntivity on highest, but it makes sixaxis stupidly hard to control at that level.

For the people who were holding out for a bundle, they're releasing all of the DLC for 11.99 tomorrow, including the new pack.
