Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Seb Downie, the QA manager at Guerilla Games explains the four difficulties in Killzone 2, over at the SCEA forums;

The difficulty system is not based on enemy counts, but more on damage modifiers and health. The health of you, your buddies and the various enemy types and the damage that all of you deal out. As the difficulty goes up, your ability to Run ?n Gun goes down. You?ll be spending more and more time ducking from cover and recharging. It becomes a lot more tactical and needs a bit more brainpower as you go up. The lower difficulty settings is more for folks who like to storm into rooms, guns blazing. Do that on the harder difficulties and you?ll get more than a black Recruitit

Let your girlfriend play this one, or your mom. Anyone caught playing this for any other reason than seeing if he can get through it blind-folded needs a open-handed sTrooperer

If you are new to FPSs, or haven?t played one since Doom, then you might want to start here. Will provide a challenge in pVeteraneran

Now we?re talking. This is your first playthrough. Hop to it Elite>Elite

(unlocked by completing the game once on any difficulty)

We up the anty a bit and remove your HUD and crosshair. Try that on for size, but don?t come crying to me if the big bad men with the orange goggles take you out back for a proper slapping.

I'm most likely going to be in Uni tomorrow when this gets put up on the store. Think I'll take my PSP to Uni and use remote play to start the download so it's ready for me coming home :p

Andy, you sound like a serial stalker! Plus you both have my Black SuperDry jacket! Discraceful!

Yeah but I have two, one leather and one army style, so therefore I'm better :p My army one has orange stitching too :heart: 360 colours ftw lol.

hey DM AB , if you meetup which i think is gonna happen all due to KZ . get a mugshot of you together. (AB , maybe u can try punching him just when it goes click :p )

Pfft, he'll be bowing down to me more like.

I was here first, both on NW and this planet :p

Can't wait to try the demo, what time of day will it be online?

Can't wait to try the demo, what time of day will it be online?

Most likely around normal UK PSN update time (4-6pm). But no one really knows, just don't expect a 12:00am launch, it'll be sometime tomorrow during the day/early evening.

Typical, had to be on the day I'm in uni longest.

Ah well I have the next 4 days to pick it to pieces.

Same :pinch:

11am-4pm, I'll be home for about 5.30. By then the EU PSN will probably be choked with all the fake yank accounts :rofl:

Just seen the post about difficulty levels, Elite doesn't sound hard at all if thats the only changes. I play like that already on most FPS :laugh:

Yeah, most console FPS games with their generous "auto-aim" ;)

Well they also change health and damage modifiers etc, just taking away the Hud wouldn't really change much, lol.

Though How do we know how much ammo we have? or is there a display on the gun. O.o

I'm guessing you maybe don't?

In real life you wouldn't know :p

We'll see...

Wtf, you guys don't even listen to how many bullets you're firing in games? Pfft, noobs lol

I don't keep exact count, but I know when I'm low and if I have enough to get one more kill before a reload. I even bug AJ to reload on WaW :laugh:

Oh man can't wait to take you PS3 gamers on :p

Depends on the game, I can usually tell automatically, though that depends on if I have played the game before a good bit and how many kills I would usually get compared to difficulty etc.

Though I usually just reload after killing a bunch of enemies just in case I run into a bunch I didn't expect and am stuck reloading.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
