[Official] Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

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 :)

Cheers dude (Y)

Well had my first run in with higher ranks, they basically won the game for the other team, 3 very high ranks running around with rocket launchers, and sniper rifles.

They are even tougher to kill, starts to make me wonder about balance.

I saw a video today about one class, that can run twice as fast and has more health, and strong weapon, that sounds unbalanced to me, lol.

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 :(

Maybe you should game on the PC then?

If KZ2 looks dated to you, and even GoW2 (which is still a good looking game), you're in for a disappointing console generation. Things will probably surpass these games over the years, but they are most certainly not dated.

8-12 hours is around the standard for an FPS game.

Any chance you could throw one my way whilst you're at it, ready for tomorrow? Cheers!

Sure

Remember AB we want people in the clan who are regulars and actually play. Not people who just "want to be part of something" and never partake.

Getting tired of the messages I can't join because of my rank, wtf (N)

Yeah I know, I've got most of these guys on my PSN list already, therefore I know they'll play when they can. Not inviting anyone I don't know/isn't known on NW, you can deal with those requests seeing as you're in charge.

We do need people who'll play, seeing as it's easy to arrange clan face offs I foresee us playing a lot of games. Plus we want a **** load of Valor to look 1337 ;) As it says online as well, you can't cancel clan matches, it goes down as a forfeit and you lose your valor. Meaning we do need a fairly healthy and sizeable clan so we can get people to step in if someone goes missing on the night.

Does that mean your not allowed to play?

Oh snap. :p

KZ2 MP > Every other ****ty PS3 FPS game.

Snap :p

Poor R2, it's going under with this - Mainly because of the clan and tournament integration. That's just going to take everyone's interests as long as Guerilla keep feeding the game with new content/tweaks and updates. Actually having a reason to play online other than just to stroke your own e-penis gets me interested, as I'm never usually one to get wrapped up in individual ranks. If I'm helping a team/clan however, it's more interesting.

Encourages team play more than just running around going "HAI GUYZ IM RANK 99, IM GONNA GO SIT IN THIS CORNER AND HEADSHOT Y'ALL".

Well I do game on PC as well, providing my PC is up to the challenge (it's hardly a gaming beast). I know it's coming across as me saying the games look visually poor but really, that isn't what I'm saying. They do look good I'd be insane to say they *look* rubbish. What I'm trying to (badly) say is more in the lines of how they are made. Every version of a game is just a better looking version of the previous, nothing really groundbreaking, just the same old recipe. I dunno, I've just come to a point where I want more then just pretty visuals, I'm tired the of the "dated" solution to making things prettier to solve everything. I'm sure there is more to KZ2 then just the visuals but there doesn't seem to be anything outstanding that makes it different from every other FPS?? I think part of the problem for me is everything more more multi play oriented which is great if you like that sorta thing but not so much if your still clasping at the old ways of offline gaming. There are still some great "offline" games out there still which I am grateful for.

Ah, well I hate to admit it but I've made quite a fool of myself right now :blush: (I still stand by what I said, as that is how I feel in general about the direction of games) however, I somehow (god knows how) got Killzone 2 mixed up with Resistance 2 in my head! which was a rather silly thing to do...so might pay to actually play the demo now :p (considering I've only seen a couple of screenshots - Resistance 2 was the one I saw all the gameplay footage etc). I blame it been Friday and that I'm feeling unwell and very tired :p

maybe someone can answer a question about assassination mode, why doesnt the target just hang around the spawn? there are autoturrets (presumably to stop spawncamping) but it seems to me you might as well have them defend you in that game mode (unless there just for show, i have never actually seen them attacking anyone)

Because that is one of the biggest problems they've created when you mix & match gametypes in one match. People just don't pay attention to what is going on and they run and gun. So high chances the target doesn't even know/care and just runs around like a headless chicken.

Stupid idea imo, I've disabled Assassination in the clan matches for this reason (Y)

FYI, you can destroy the turrets very easily if you place a grenade well enough. They don't offer that much protection.

If you're the target, you need to be within a certain area of the map (it's indicated by a green glow on your HUD map) before you're eligible. If you're not in the designated area, then you won't make any progress towards victory.

Oh and trust me, they aren't just for show ;)

i dont see a problem with mixed game modes tbh, i got the hang of all but assassination in one match, the reason i didnt get how that works is i have not been the target yet.

people should upload there sp stats, if you have collected any intel you will be able to download the relevant item from killzone.com

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
