[Official] Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Played a couple more games, I'm now ranked Major. With that I unlocked Tactician and they can use spawn grenades. Basically smoke grenades that let team mates spawn at that point. Pretty handy (Y)

<snipped>

Awesome to hear, I gotta start playing matches with you more if you do use the Tactician badge a lot.

There have been so many matches I've played where I had to run across the map just go kill the enemy.

Since no one had spawn grenades.

Damn, the Battle Replay on the killzone website is really damn cool.

In fact the whole damn site is impressive.

I have to say, it is a little discouraging that DM is already half way through ranking up if I am reading what he said correctly, as that seems really quick to me and I like incentive to keep playing a MP game. I have to say my first impression of playing is one of intrigue. I was not completely sold, but I definitely enjoyed myself and had fun, and see the potential for us all having fun playing together, so I think strictly based on that fact it will have a long life span, but again does seem very quick to fully rank up.

Yeah its stupidly fast/easy :(

Once you've unlocked the classes it's all about the ribbons/medals. I don't think there is any further unlocks (in terms of weapons) once you've got all the classes. That is what is most disappointing, especially when the standard rifle is the best one (at least imo). The other sub-machine guns control like ass and I'm not a fan of shotguns (n00b weapon). I only need 3 more weapons for the rifle man iirc.

So I'm with Antaris and hope they expand the ranking system.

I actually haven't played MP yet. Did get an hour of SP done though. I'll be online tonight if you guys are playing. Although the down side is that I don't have a headset. :s ..

I might be playing 2nite.......drop me a line if I'm on

I just got the game and will be ready to go in about 40 - 50 mins if anybody is around still. If not ill do a bit of solo multiplayer to get the feel of it till tomorrow when I can hopefully join you guys.

Tonight I will be without a mic but I will have one for tomorrow.

PSN account is Green_Eye_09

Munky add me as soon as possible please dude cos I cannot be arsed to go through this whole thread just

Oh, BTW man, congrats on the purchase. (Y)

And also since we are not friends yet, add me, DLDirtyLarry, as I can also send invites to people for the clan.

I played an hour of MP and haven't yet gotten used to the feel of the controls. I still came in first on my team however, although that's not saying much as my team sucked. Haven't won a match yet. My K/D is just under 1.00, though the very first game I really stunk. I hate how you start off with a crap weapon and no ammo.

^ hopes you get the game tomorrow because its amazing.

Ive played the first killzone and I knew when they made a 2nd killzone, I was going to be amazed but today i was overly amazed.

I checked out a copy and bought it over to a friends house and we played SP and MP, OMG, I love this game. I am getting a PS3 just for this game most likely by the impression it left on me. Also a blu ray player would be nice :).

Tried out MP last night. Really enjoyed it. I wish there were medics so they could revive me while i was down :p

However, there was one annoying thing with the interface where it would take 3 seconds or so to even update after i had pressed a button. Anyone else get this?

I won't be on much next week either - I have my last real exam on friday, so I gotta study for it... the fact that I haven't really paid attention in class somewhat contributes to that :p So I'll probably be online in the (CET-)evening for a couple of days - hopefully with some more gaming next weekend and the weeks after that :)

I don't think any of us are gonna be playing, the servers are down :laugh:

Back up.

So I've heard anyway.

I'll be on in an hour or two, gotta go do some shopping for tonight.

Rant... What ever idiot designed these controls should be shot. Having to hold down L2 to do anything is retarded. These controls are so bad, I can't even play more than 2 seconds of it without hating it. Lack of crouch, 10 control schemes that are pretty much the same with 1 or 2 buttons swapped.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
