KILLZONE 2 - The |OT|

So...I think about nine to fifteen months ago, I was reading some "hype" about KZ2 and the developers hinted at how the weather on the Helghan planet would play some kind of role in the gameplay.

I haven't heard/read anything about weather effects in reviews so far.

Does anyone else remember this being mentioned or am I getting old and mixing shit up?

Does anyone else smell burnt toast?

Killzone is just loading sloooooooooooooowly. Very slowly.

Got an 80% Completion rate so far! Missing 5 bits of Intel, and about 16 symbols. Getting towards the 1500 Helghast trophy, and about half way through the game on Elite.

dump plot and romanticizing nazi culture... well thats what a big german outlett writes about killzone

"Und ihre Plots sind in etwa so clever wie die von "Landser"-Heftchen aus den fünfzigern"

if only the writer of that artikel saw the official thread here on gaf

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't say that it romanticizes nazi culture at all... It says that it romanticizes war culture, much like a bunch of other shooters. The article is not really all that about KZ2 to begin with, more like about shooters in general and their often black/white simplistic worldview.

Yeah, they mentioned that a lot when they first started showing footage of the game. Doesn't look like it's materialized in any way aside from the Helghast shooting lightning at you.

Okay. Thanks for the info. I hyad hoped I wasn't confusing it for another game. I'm a big fan of weather effects so it kindof stuck in the back of my head. A shame they didn't have the time to flesh out what they had hinted at.

Battle Replays: You will be able to watch games as they unfolded, watch the troop movements and see who killed who and how. We'll expand on this as time goes by. Right now you should be able to view a couple of Battle Replays created by internal testing of the site. Battle Replays are saved and displayed if at least 2 people played and completed a round and will for now remain on the site for two weeks.

Clans: You will be able to create and administer your clans from the page so you don't have to be on your PS3 to see who wants to be in your clan or what the latest is on any upcoming games.

Tournaments: You will be able to set up clans from the site, just like in-game, but will be able to see the results and how they played out on the tournament wheel too.

Challenges: This offers the same functionality as the in-game, but of course lets you set up your battles remotely.

STATS!: We all love stats! And if the stats recorded in-game are not enough for you, we show even more here! Including match performance, a weapons cloud to show what weapons are used most and preferred faction.

Leaderboards: Same as in-game! See where you are from work!

Battle Replays seems like the battle reports found on Bungie.net.

Difference here seems to be that this one is interactive and you can fast forward or rewind to see matches unfold.

Oh, this is the in-game percentage, for single player completion. Only got a measly 32% of the trophies. There are online ones too.

The hidden helghan symbols are kicking my ass. I've gone through a couple levels 2 or 3 times looking at everything and still can't find all of them.

Then I find one and I'm like DOH, that wasn't hidden at all.

Any guides around?

Those MP shots are fantastic. I love how much care went into the design of the maps. They're a lot more interesting to look at than the MP maps in most games.
