[Official] Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Munky now has them :) I will be online this weekend too for a few games, will tell the girlfriend to watch a film or something.....

If someone sends me a PM with the details the alert will send to my phone and let me know.

Okay, there's an account that has been set up with myself, johhny0 and audioboxer with the DLC for this. If anyone else would like to join the group to split the cost of this and any future DLC on the game please PM me. Obviously only 2 spots left now due to the 5 activation limit.

If you're referring to me then I am thoroughly insulted! :laugh: :p

Thanks but I'm not too happy with it, I always go for a 2+ ratio and then try to keep it there. Just need to play some more and train with a few classes, then 2.0 shouldn't be difficult.

I suck at FPS games clearly.

Just need to have a goal :p

I'm trying to arrange a game for tomorrow evening at around 21:00pm ( GMT +0 ), would anyone be able to play around that time?

I don't think I'm going out tomorrow so yes.

Had a killer hangover today, I don't think I want to go through this again Sunday. Plus I have an exam on Wed.

I might be on earlier during the day for some rounds so if anyone sees me jump in.

Sounds good, now what would you prefer - Me setting up a Body Count server or I join a half-full server and you all join me through the "Clan members playing" list ? Because under the current system, I doubt we'll all be able to on the same team without being seriously lucky.

I will be about for that if it's at 9. Will be off to the pub for the match later West Ham v Liverpool and will grab my headset.

Sethos I don't think I have you on my PSN, feel free to add me if you want to. Tag is in my signature.

I added you (Y)

I might start up the server an hour earlier, then people can join as they get online.

Server is going up in around 20 minutes, name will be Neowin.net and hold 16 Players. It's a Body Count server at a 15 Min / 100 Kill ratio, 3-4 maps in the rotation.

My brother is watching a movie on my PS3. I'll join after he finish if you guys still online.

Not a lot. I set up a server and 2-3 people showed, I then told everyone in the lobby I was redoing the server to change some options, they never came back once it was up. Then me and Andy decided to find a regular public server, I tried to find a medium sized server yet I'm constantly hit with the "Not the appropriate rank" or whatever, a few of them limits badges and forces autoselect (N) Then all you have left is a huge messy server, one big rocket-launcher cluster**** where proximity voice ruins EVERYTHING - All those people running around with $2,95 headsets making SO much noise. At some point KoL and Phee joined, we teamed up up but it was still that cluster**** server, so I told them I'd try and set up our own server again. One round, then munky had to eat, then it was me vs Kol and Phee and then I decided to shut down the server.

All in all a lame experience, one I will never repeat. Nobody is talking, everyone are cheapskates buying the cheapest headset they can find, allowing hosts to limit badges, force stupid options and generally tweak the game is massive failure, the rocket-launchers are just dominating the bigger games and Killzone 2 is a perfect example of why players should never be in charge of setting up the servers beyond extremely basic options - Radec academy is so overplayed because the point-###### can get tons of points.

    • 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...
