[Official] Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Gotta run out for 15-20 mins, when I'm back I'll join you guys.

Just played on a server (noticed you right at the end Pheee) with the worst team ever - Bunch of absolute idiots. Was warzone, so changing objectives. I don't think any of them knew how to do anything. Guy got planted as the assassination target, and instead of hiding thought it would be a good idea to take part in front assault with the rest of us. 5-1 we were beaten.

Am I the only person who thinks this game isn't that good? I like FPS games but this one fails to interest me in the slightest :/ Mass Effect 2, I drool just at the thought of it but this...nothing, what is exactly so special about it?

Of course you won't be the only person, nothing is ever liked by everyone.

But unless you explain why you feel the way you do, no one can really relate to what you're saying.

I like the game, but cmon hardly anyone has anything unlocked yet. Once we get more classes online the dynamics are going to shift completely. I haven't seen one medic online yet, not to mention there's no snipers at all yet either. Plus people are getting to grips with the game, I'm still seeing a complete lack of usage of squads, something which totally tips the game in your favour as you can spawn with your squad leader [as long as they're alive].

Me three! I popped down to Asda to see if they had it out early or behind the customer service desk, no such luck! Just gonna have to wait till tomorrow now. :(

Try a 24 hour Tesco? or just wait till it is tomorrow and then go? you might be able to get it at midnight. :D

Hopefully mine will come in the morning, I'm taking the day off Uni, lol.

I want to play online with you guys sometime but i probably won't join the clan because i'm inconsistent when it comes to playing the PS3 so i don't want to take up a clan space.

There's 64 spaces, I don't even know if NW will fill that, and if worst comes to the worst inactive players will get booted in the future.

I hate waiting, it sucks! :p

Just going to get it before work tomorrow in town, and probably pay over the odds for it too.

Save room for me! :D

It's hard to explain, I've seen it in action and to be honest the graphics look dated to me (they aren't bad mind, just I expected more from such a massively hyped game) and well it seems to be quite multiplayer oriented, I don't really like multiplayer as I'm more of a hardcore single player (I have played, and enjoyed, multiplayer games but more often then not the games are full of sods that cheat and spoil the fun for everyone). Maybe I'll download the demo if I can be bothered, but right now there just isn't anything that jumps out to me, if you know what I mean?

Uhh wtf?

So you haven't even played the game?

And graphics looks dated? :blink: I'm sorry, but the graphics do not look dated at all, without starting any arguments about how good they are. They are definitely some of the best in the genre, and MP holds up pretty damn well - Some of the maps look awesome.

And in case you didn't know, there's a full SP campaign that lasts 8-12 hours.

I do not have the right rank to join the game going on right now. Can someone help me out please?

I joined the earlier Insomniacs games with no rank at all? :/

You haven't even tried the demo and you say the graphics looks dated, can't even take that seriously.

You twisted my arm. ;) I'll try and join when i next go online.

Ask Munky for an invite.

He can invite anyone I think from his friends list, even if they don't have the game. I've seen Sethos and some others on the "pending" list - http://www.killzone.com/kz/clan.psml?kz_clan_id=4048

In fact, I might be able to invite you, 2 seconds. I don't think you're on my PSN list though? Invite sent :)

Can someone send me an invite too please?

Planning to pick up the game tomorrow in the morning.

Can't wait to play! :woot:

Done.

I'm on the PC just now waiting for my DS3 to charge some :p

Still have Lost to watch tonight also! Wish I could bump Uni tomorrow, but I gotta go in. Only for 2 hours though - No pub tomorrow night, I'll be bringing in the beers and playing some KZ2 as everyone will have it tomorrow just about. I might need to go out with that girl on sat night you see :( Well it's a good thing, but I know the clan will be active on sat night ;)

woot, i have the highest rank of the clan :laugh: it won't be for long though, just played 2 games and got completely slaughtered, 16 vs 16 on bloodgracht is not cool, the grenadespamming is ridiculous, only got killed by my teammates and everytime i was lucky enough to even see an enemy i get a nade in my face >_<

Uhh wtf?

Nope, but I've seen enough footage from the game to get the general idea to how it looks and it looks dated to me. To be brutally honest most games look dated to me now, even Gear 2 on the 360 looks dated (which is suppose to be one of the best looking games on the 360). It's hard to explain, it's not that it doesn't look good but more it's just the same old thing made to look prettier, maybe dated is the wrong word to use...

:blink: 8-12 hour single player campaign, that's quite short. Probably longer then most games these days though, which is another problem I have with modern games. God I miss the days of the games that took months to finish :(

You haven't even tried the demo and you say the graphics looks dated, can't even take that seriously.

Ic, so I don't have a right to an opinion if it dosen't match yours? Can't you accept some people might think differently?? what is with people these days...sheesh.

    • How can it beat a Steam machine without a serious GPU? The two CU iGPU only provides about 5fps in gaming. That's not going to make any gamer happy.
    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless.

You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
