No sources, and there's no confirmation whatsoever that the beta was even set up with ranks, people are just talking about badges for the beta.

No need to go to panic stations guys :p You seriously think a developer of an FPS title, especially something like KZ2, is going to be making everything obtainable in a weeks play? :p

Watch the devs talking about MP here...

Starts 8 mins for MP - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-UaRN71XL0

Ends 4 mins in - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ummHRrA7D_Y

They highlight their goal of keeping players playing for a long length of time.

I hope there is more, because I'll be playing this pretty much every day for the foreseeable future lol

You say that like every 'quality' title just need to have slow progression. Plenty of games offer very quick rank progression, there's a lot of people out there who prefer it like that. Me wanting slow progression is purely a preference matter. Call of Duty 4 had very quick rank progression ( Excluding prestige because that's not additional ranks, just a reset ), Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 turned up the speed about 2000%. Took me less than a week or two to reach Elite in V2 and played V1 for over a year, 15 hours a week minimum and never reached elite.

So no need to put it like that, as if slow progression is just to be expected in big games.

I'm not talking about "slow progression" as such, I'm talking about having lots to unlock and obtain also.

Watch the multiplayer talk above, they talk about ribbons and medals as well, for say getting like 10 headshots that will unlock a specific type of grenade. Obviously there will be harder things than 10 headshots.

Not purely talking about exp based leveling up here.

[Sethos]

Do we know how many they added? Because goal based unlocks could be faster than gaining top rank.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Nope they just said along with exp and leveling up, there's badges, then also ribbons you can get and medals.

[Sethos]

Guess all we can do is wait for more information regarding the ranking system and cross our fingers ranking up won't be a walk in the part.

[Corris Veteran]

Taking a week to level up to the max is a blessing since people go through CoD in a matter of days.

But we will have to wait and see how it works it seems, was no one here in the beta? lol

Gonna be getting it for sure. Why cant Feb 27 get here any sooner.

And I'll probably join the clan too.

Woo!

Now just to see about Kol the invincible, lol.

It was never planned but we were open to the idea one day. With Killzone 2's clan features though it just makes sense to bring the clan to the PS3.

Insomniacs was chosen because it describes us as gamers, I mean, you and I are still on Neowin at 5pm. Its a perfect fit :p

Ack, I suppose you have me there, lol.

I was on Neowin at stupid o'clock in the morning because I was playing fallout till then.

So What you going to do with the Clan topic? Move it tot he gamers hangout or make a separate one?

Or are us Ps3 gamers stuck with having to trawl through the Xbox section. :p

[FlibbyFlobby]

I hope the levelling up isn't too difficult. That Scout looks badass, I don't know how long I'd be able to wait to play as him. :p

When the time gets closer I'll ask a mod to move it to the general GH section.

[Genius]

we should all hop on for some multiplayer action after this is out ;)

[Genius]

lawl, i bet he didn't expect that ;)

[Keito]

Bit late to the party, but I basically just lurk a lot these days and don't bother with posting that much - but I'll join any clan for KZ2 as well... I usually play an average of an hour a day whenever I am really in to something, so I guess I'll be quite active.

[Vortex566]

I will be around for KZ2 multi-player. I know everyone with a PS3 is getting this game on launch so should be a lot of people online.

I picked up a Dual Shock 3 today. I have to say I don't know how I used to game without looking forward to Killzone 2 with rumble. It is the small things in life.

Killzone 2 Press Kit Exposed (From over at NeoGAF)

[DPyro]

LOLZ :p

[soniqstylz]

Nah PCs will still pump out better visuals.

It's just amazing though getting something this polished and good looking on a console with 7.1 HD audio to boot.

The art direction goes a long way to making it appear better/rivalling anything on the PC, but in terms of sheer pixel pumping and resolution the PC will win, as always. Thing is though, you need the PC to be able to do that :p

It can't get a port as Guerilla games are exclusively signed on to only make games for the PS platforms (PSP/PS2/PS3)...

Sony makes PC games, too, tho generally of the MMO variety (Everquest, The Agency, DC Universe)

Yeah SOE [sony Online Entertainment] do, but none of the other studios ever do, at least not like how it is on the 360 at times [PC ports of mainstream 360 games].

Is it imperative that I play the original Killzone before hand? Or is the story not worth the hassle?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Definitely not worth it, just read the back story online (not that there is much story)
