PSU Feature: Killzone 2 Weaponry

37
It will have been over four years since the release of the original Killzone when Killzone 2 hits retail shelves in February 2009. In that stretch of time, PlayStation owners have endured delay after delay in hopes of one day finally getting the opportunity to sit down with the highly anticipated title in order to take down one Helghast at a time. One of the key components to taking down this dastardly enemy of mankind is the weaponry you'll be equipped with. PSU.com has taken the time to display the known weapons for Killzone 2.

They have to bring back Rico's chaingun from the original. And the knife also, for stealth kills.

1.3 - It's a shame that people disagreed with you about something they know not -
There are many people on this site (even those that are anticipating this monster game) that did not fully appreciate KILLZONE 1.

- Rico's chain gun.

- Luger's scoped, silencer pistol. Highly compressed for long range, one-shot deaths.

- The ISA HMG with that wonderful 203 launcher (oh the sound was wonderful).

- The deadly Helghast over/under that sprayed rounds a mile by the second, and left an unlucky victim with buckshot to the face at close range.

- The ISA grenade pistol loaded with 203's (terrific damage splash).

- Who can forget the 6 or 8 round (I can't remember lol) Helghast automatic grenade launcher, that could also double as a mine setter? Wooo that thing was great fun!

- Nevermind the color of the scope lens, the ISA sniper rifle was deadly as hell and sounded like a sniper rifle should! Did I mention I liked the sounds of the weapons in KZ 1?

- The Helghast military shotgun (reload glitch not included) 8D

- The beautiful -"Brr-rra-aapp"- sound of the Helghast automatic pistol.

- The Helghast HMG (inaccurate, but who cares when it holds 200 rounds?)

- AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST.....the countdown timer of the standard issue grenades. Those were what made fragging so fraggalicious. I doubt that they'll carry it over to KZII so :(

Thanks GG for a great vision and a hell of an accomplishment thus far......

That's correct, in one of the off screen videos published the other day you can clearly hear a SCEE rep state "20 weapons, half ISA, half Helghast"

MK_Red needs to see an eye doctor ASAP.

Guerilla have improved just about everything especially the crappy looking textures in the E3 07 trailer.

It's still in it's pre-alpha stages so I'd like them to forget about the graphics, they've over-delivered, and focus more on the AI. Make them smarter and aggressive enough to make people cry.

I was on the PS3 forums sometime last yr and i raised a question about the enemy A.I. and enemies on screen because the old trailer didn't seem to have many enemies on screen making it look too easy.

Long story short he told me A.I. is a big priority for them and there is a trade off between number of enemies on screen and sophisticated A.I. imo i am still unsatisfied with the number of enemies attacking at once and the A.I. I need to see at least 10 enemies attacking me with decent enough A.I. then 6 with sophisticated A.I. that duck behind cover and flank e.t.c. I wish they could just buy A.I. from F.E.A.R

Nice read, some of it built around guess work such as the "Machine Gun" which I believe is yet to be shown in action under player crontrol. But at least its educated guess work.

Screens are quite good at showing the build difference between the new and the last E3. Much cleaner now. Love the first screen of the Assault Rifle to, really nice!

In Fact, >> NoUseMerc <<, perhaps you could point me to where I can get that pic, but larger???

5 - Like the weapons
Hope the sniper rifle from Killzone 1 is in there somewhere too, i really liked the red scope, which would be even better with the slashing blood. Red over red, red in the dead...ohhh yess, so lovely, so lovely...ohh sorry, got a bit carried away there ;)

They need to change the sniper controls from the first one though, they wasn`t very good, too sensitive and hard to aim with (Timeplitters 1 and 2 have the same problem).

The Halgast rifle-shotgun was very cool in the first as well.

i liked the rifle with the green scope that you were never able to use, that gun was bad a$$, and so was the 30mm machine gun.

6 - Glad you guys liked it.
I know some guns are Helghast/ISA, but I wrote the piece in terms of always being in an ISA persona, thus why I always referenced taking down the Helghast scum! Lol...Thanks for the feedback.

You wrote the article?

It's good, any chance you can point me to where I can get that first image of the Assault Rifle but larger? I would greatly appreciate it.

Fishy, I'm trying to contact NoUseMerc for it right now. He's the one who supplied the images, so he'll most likely know. I'll send you a PM once I can get a link for you.

10 - The Helghast rifle/shotgun was the best
Especially when fighting online. When you went up with someone helghast rifle vs Isa rifle, instead of going shot for shot, all you had to do was get in close quarters battle and blast that shotgun bullet from the helghast rifle.

Yes, that saved my online stats that helghast gun lol
