[Official] Killzone 2

[AbandonedTrolley]

Yeah ?1 is fine tbh, I would assume it's the same people as that's obviously locked. I actually have two of the slots registered due to my other machine being on it too so I've no issue with paying a bit more from it.

MIWright looking from your sig it looks like you are in the US, DLC is region specific to the original game.

Just sent my ?1 Trolley(Y))

Cheers guys :) (Y)

So, how does that sharing work? might do that with some friends for some LBP DLC

So, how does that sharing work? might do that with some friends for some LBP DLC

1) Get people you trust

2) Create a new 'sharing user name on the PS3' - 4 others can use the same details

3) Buy the DLC and enjoy

Just a word of warning, once bought make sure you clear out the payment details to save any issues that may occur. :)

It would be nice to have a Neowin session on Killzone 2 sometime. I've really gotten back into it since they added the High Precision control mode. I can finally hit stuff! :p

[red.]

Trolley, did you say you have some slots free?

So, I buy some DLC with a new account, a friend recovers that account on his ps3 and can download it for free? and it will work on any account on that console?

Hey red, I'm not too sure on how many slots there are to start with but I know that 5 machines have been activated on the account, which I beleive to be the limit. Someone might correct me on that though.

Yes that's all there is to it :)

Ahh, no probs (Y)

[peacemf]

i must admit this multiplayer think is fun :) tried it out for the first time today!

not sure what half the stuff means yet, but hopefully i'll get there, but its like dealing with suicide bombers sometimes, and im at stage where people are now building these turrets near where you spawn! :(

i just want a medic badge, and some tropies!!!

Is that supposed to say July 14th?

Pretty heavy does of confusion you put on me for a sec.

[peacemf]

do you guys get disconnected quite a bit? im not sure if its because of my ps3 location or a normal thing, it doesnt happen every time, but sometimes quite abit :s

im a medic now! yeeeeeeee!

taking a page from extremists i find the suicide with a grenade can take out alot of ppl!

Also how do you kill ppl with one shot? some ppl just shoot me once and im gone for 10 dam long seconds :(

Patch is up, 90mb, apparently they've improved the medic gun. It did look pretty bad before.

Rather than being a fat, bright, straight line with some zigzag patterns on it, the reviving beam waves in the air kinda like the blotgun beam now, it's thinner and it's much more transparent, barely visible from a distance. I think they also added sparks to it. Or at least I don't recall them being so clearly visible.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

They've added server details now when you're browsing your matchmaking results :)

Shows maps on the right, it's cut off on my pic.

[Brad.]

Awesome! That's great :)

[Sethos]

Awesome! That's great :)

Brad, do you even have the game? :p

[KoL Veteran]

I saw the trailer of the new maps and I'm glad they included new weapons. I would love to see the lightning gun in future DLC.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

It would be nice if they gave us some FREE DLC.

Yeah they've improved the MP quite a bit, added better aiming, put in a workable friends system, BUT ACTUAL CONTENT. Give me some for free Guerilla.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

They gotta make back the dev costs somehow, very unlikely they'll give any away for free, at least nothing substantial.

That's their problem for spending so much, I want some free content, all 235 paid map packs does is segregate the community... (I know I'll get them all cheap due to us sharing, but many people playing KZ2 won't buy them).

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Well yeah of course it's their problem, but to solve it they pass the bill onto us.

Which ironically doesn't really fix anything because DLC doesn't make itself.

When they're ripping a lot out of the SP campaign it pretty much does.
