I haven't played since release. Finally settled in my new house and my new job so I might jump in tonight a bit. Those new maps, how are they? Easy to find maps using them? my fear is paying 12 bucks and finding few games using them.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

I just tried out ArcTower. I like the map. I played as a tactician on the Helghast side. I made my way over and threw two spawn grenades outside of both exits on the ISA side. :lol My god, we destroyed the other team. They couldn't step one foot out of their base. They must have been pissed.

finally getting used to warzone haha wow i didnt realize there where 5 matches before you gained exp and stuff i always quit early because i thought the games went on forever. haha now i know, but overall was pretty neat.

 

[noah111]

Oh man, too many 60gb ps3 owners getting killzowned. My 60gb usually gets pretty loud when playing KZ2, and it has frozen once during a match, but so far so good. I'm still getting paranoid though, maybe I should get a second ps3 just for KZ2 :lol

60GB owner here with an upgraded 320GB HDD, and fuck you guys hve gotten me nervous. :s I'm about to hop onto KZ2 to try out the new maps, but I feel like I should back up my system first :lol Thing is, that takes many hours and i'll be passed out by then.

Please god let my PSthwee live!

 

[Maximus.]

for all those people who say their old ps3s get loud, how loud do they exactly get? my ps3 is absolutely silent, esp compared to my vacuum loud xbox 360.

 

[Internet Celebrity]

Man, how fucking cruel. I get back from dinner, plug my PS3 back in and turn it on. It works. I move around my friends list, open a few messages. My heart's beating with hope at this point as I move to type in a new profile comment: "BACK FROM YLOD BITCH!" I'm filled with joy as I press ok, and it's "loading", and WHABAM, there it is. Triple beep, red flashing light.

F U Sony!

My 60GB PS3 at full blast gets quite loud indeed, as loud as a desktop computer with fans on full. It's not quite as loud as an old 360, but may be louder than some of the newer ones. As I understand it, the 40GB and later PS3s are considerably quieter.

You went to message someone!? Back that shit up!! Is your PS3 in an open space? If not it's probably overheating or something.

 

[Internet Celebrity]

Yeah, immediately afterwards I realized how stupid I was not to do that. I did retrieve my precious killzone 2 disc though <3

And yeah, it's completely in the open. I even left it in a cold room while I was out, and when I turned it on that room was pretty cool too (midnight here).

 

[JB1981]

not sure if it's my small crt or what but I think i've decided that i strongly dislike the way motion blur is used in this game. the game is so fucking blurry that it makes it hard to see. i guess its hard to explain but going from this game to other fps, it's amazing just how much CLEARER they are. I love the KZ universe, art direction, engine etc, but it think they overdid it with the blur.

I disagree. I'd say GG has used blur better than anyone else. The gun blur in particular is amazing.

totally agree

KZ2 looks like cg

other games have a sterile 'videogamey' look to them, but KZ2 looks like fucking concept art in motion.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Blur really gives this game an artistic touch.
GG used post process so well. Game is insanely beautiful in motion.

it's probably your CRT. I've got an LCD and it doesn't even look that blurry.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Any sites with HD pics of the new maps?

 

[Violater]

I will say this about GG, they have a clear vision of they world they have created and for better or worst they stick to their art direction. Some of these maps are beautiful and others I cannot bear to look at for a whole match. SUljeva Cliffside is just unbearable IMO

 

[KilgoreTrout]

KZ's blur is heavenly.

Now, Call of Jaurez: Bound in Blood has terrible blur and it causes tearing. >:|

 

[CrushDance]

Double exp....and I can't play ;_; WRYYYYY!

 

[RefigeKru]

The blur is amazing.

The haze accompanying the falling embers on Salamun Market+Visari Hammer. The smears created by blowing dust on Pyrrhus Rise. The slightly out of focus backdrop on Helghan Industries. The shallow depth of field on the weapons, which expands when you crouch. The blur caused by explosions, everything it moves and creates. The train stage.

Goddamn. It should be illegal to make a game that looks this good. I love everything about the style.

Until you play the train level and it all just looks a mess

What! The train is the best looking level in the game.

 

[RefigeKru]

One of the best looking stages to me. Throwing a grenade and watching the smoke plume down the train along with bouncing sparks in the wind never gets old.

Why does it look like a mess to you?

Because everything is the same damn color, I mean come on your eyes have nothing to rest on.

 

[alr1ght]

505 points :lol , but god public matches are the worst.

I think those kill 20 with special weapon trophies are going t be hard to come by, as everyone runs for the gun once the holder dies.

Alright GAF call it now, Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2? Which looks better. Both in motion, and at Highest resolution.

 

[RefigeKru]

Can't really say I agree really. But I love the lighting on the stage, when the train is briefly in the open and whilst in the tunnel you can spot the oncoming light.

The monotone palette isn't something that was present in all stages, and I love it. There are highlights of particular colours on that stage, at least thats how I remember it.

But hey, I was just curious. I love the train stage from Gears and Mirror's Edge too. Something about trains.

Haven't played Uncharted 2 yet. Wouldn't know.

In all honesty, playing through the campaign and all the MP I've been doing recently it'll be difficult for a game to top Killzone 2 for me. At least on consoles. But as it is. *shrug*

It has its good moments but overall it is too monotone

 

[test_account]

Ah, nice with 2.5x multiplier today (25th of June, it is past midnight where i live now (Europe)) instead of the normal 1.5x multiplier

Double exp....and I can't play ;_; WRYYYYY!

Why cant you play? :\

 

[Kittonwy]

I'm on rawr rawr rawr.

 

[noah111]

Going back to this game and seeing it in motion again is just awesome, all over my face. Again.

I totally forgot how beautiful this game really looked. Also, the arc tower map is probably one of my favorite maps so far, also like using the bolt gun far more than the flamethrower..

 

[Big B]

This game is not bad! I've never played any FPS/TPS before except RE4 and 2 hours of Bioshock so I have no problems whatsoever with Killzone 2's controls since I don't have that shooter "twitch".

And my god it's pretty. I'm glad they didn't overdo it with the bloom lighting like other devs do sometimes (see Folklore).

 

[Boombloxer]

Interesting. I liked that stage quite a bit, but I did wonder what it would be like if it was raining/daytime/etc. So I kinda see what you mean.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Just had an awesome match. 480 points and Boltgun Junkie trophy. Double XP weekend rocks.

 

[Violater]

I think it would have looked better if the actual scenery and lighting on that particular level was more diverse, in concept it really is brilliant.

 

[Dementia]

Is it just me or does your player move slower when they're carrying the boltgun?

 

[Kittonwy]

Noob tacticians and players who fucking turtle need to gtfo, srsly. Idiots hanging around the corridors during S&D simply trying to nab kills, fucking useless piece of shit motherfuckers when other people are trying to arm the fucking charges.

 

[848484]

Love the new patch.

and btw 2.5 multiplier bonuses today! WHAT

 

[MWS Natural]

My 60GB launch PS3 is louder than my 360 and gaming PC.

It was a 32 player warzone match with randoms... how can you expect anything else?

I punched dem in teh face. I wuz like "gtfo moran" *punch*.

I was surprised to see ASSAULT turtling with rockets in that game though, first time I've seen that in Killzone 2.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

MY FUCKING GOD. I was playing 30 minute rounds on Arc Tower and my team was just about to win the round in a clean sweep when my game froze. FUCK. I just lost a least 600 points.

Edit - Son of a Bitch none of the kills or deaths saved as well. 2 hours for fucking nothing.

 

[kuYuri]

With the help of double XP, finally reached General rank. Sure was brutal, but finally got it.

Probably once I get the 50 online wins trophy, I don't see myself playing much after that.

My TV is dead and I don't have enough money yet(probably in a month) ;_;

 

[UnluckyKate]

Does the promo triple pack is an ilimited offer or is it limited in time ?

 

[Internet Celebrity]

Holy shit :lol

Someone in my clan apparently had a 1025 point game. Fuck, I'm missing out on my chance to get to 50k.
