Killzone 2 Megathread - New DLC Coming (Map Pack 3!!!) - Patch As Well!!!!

[BlueCali]

Killzone 2 is an upcoming science fiction first-person shooter for the PlayStation 3, currently in development by Guerrilla Games and to be published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the third installment in the Killzone franchise that began on the PlayStation 2 with Killzone and was continued with Killzone: Liberation on the PlayStation Portable. First announced at E3 2005 in Los Angeles, California,[5] Killzone 2 is due for release in February 2009.

Killzone 2 follows the events of Killzone and Killzone: Liberation, and will take place entirely on the planet Helghan, the home-world of the Helghast, who invaded an Interplanetary Strategic Alliance (ISA) colony. Two years after the Helghast assault on Vekta, the ISA has launched an assault on the enemy's home world of Helghan. The ISA goal is to capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Scolar Visari, and bring the Helghast war machine to a halt. Players assume the role of Sergeant Tomas "Sev" Sevchenko, a battle-hardened veteran of the special forces unit known as "The Legion", who go on a mission to take out the Helghast threat.

During the invasion of Helghan, Sev's unit is deployed behind enemy lines to assist the main invasion force. Tasked with securing the enemy capital of Pyrrhus, the team quickly discovers that the Helghast are a more formidable enemy on their home planet. Not only have they adjusted to Helghan's hostile conditions, they have also harnessed a source of power they can now use against the ISA - the very planet on which they live. A barren, unforgiving world, Helghan provides a ready defense with thick, acidic air, dust clouds, and violent surgical lightning storms. Sev discovers his squad is not just fighting enemy forces – their fiercest opponent may be the planet itself

all sounds great. only thing i dont like are the tweaks to the air support. i dont think they should be made more powerful. if you knew how to use them, they were pretty effective. it made a pretty good balance of strategy, we'll see how the tweaks change that.

The flying bots sucked if someone had turrets, boom one shot the turret would kill it..

 

[mobius387]

yah, but that just added to the fact that air support was mainly used as a distraction. you could call in air support, distract either enemy players or enemy turret bots, then kill each while they shoot at the air support.

i really like that they are eliminating respawn invincibility. it should make it easier to defend in things like S&D instead of making it just a big blood bath.

Yeah. I hate that. They do good as a scout but not killing someone.

Yeah right. I don't care if I my kill/death ratio is 1/10 or if my teamates suck. I still have fun. It is true that they don't kill players that well. Last time I was playing with a few of y'all, me n somebody else was defending a spot from being set to blow up. I had one outside the tower n it would shoot when y'all got close but no kill. But that's ok. I was waiting there with my gun Wish I could remember who it was so I could rub it in. LOL

i've fallen back in love with killzone in the past couple of days. all because of the "high precision" controls. the deadzone is tightened up and it plays great. it's no longer a chore to actually look down the sights to aim. and now that the airbots don't suck i'm actually starting to get those ribbons. i'm glad that killzone is now everything i wanted it to be.
