The second Killzone 2 map pack, the Flash and Thunder map pack, is out today, adding re-designed versions of two fan favourites from Killzone 1.
The pack features Beach Head and Southern Hills maps, which are apparently "two of the best" arenas from the original Killzone - now completely remade for PS3.
PSychic Gamers' review for the hit 2009 first person shooter, Killzone 2.
So many things were removed from kz2 that were patched into it from kz3. It's a head scratcher.
Great game, it is a shame Black Ops has sold 4 times better than it on its exclusive platform in 4 times less the time, shocking, but true.
Lets blame it on the noobs right? Yeah, this game is noob-unfriendly. Thats the reason
KZ2 online > KZ3 online
KZ3 graphics > KZ2 graphics
KZ3 controls > KZ2 controls
KZ2 difficulty > KZ3
Anything else?
RespawnAction: " The Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package Downloadable Content (DLC) comes out in a few weeks, and many gamers are crying foul. With only three new maps, and two rehashed at a $15 price point, and the original game still plagued with glitches, it isn't hard to see why. Plus the fact that other shooters have graced their games with free DLC as of late. So with that, I think we should all see what first person shooters actually did DLC right. Whether it is free, additions that were caused by community demand, or added a lot to the gameplay, these are the games from this generation (so far) that I feel did DLC right."
No mention at all of TF2's 25 additional maps, 300 achievements, 30 or so weapons, dozens of hats, and bunch of new game modes Valve has relased for the glorious price of $0?
Tsk tsk.
What in the world ever happened to patching a game, throwing some new maps in, and repeating the process every couple of months FOR FREE. somewhere, an indian cries
Check out how many games on the list, are on a system that starts with a W and ends with an i.
A big 0!
What about GTA IV's? They were not bad, the storyline of The Lost & Damned alone was 5-8 hours more, which is as long as a Call of Duty campaign. And it has an intersting storyline convergence with the other "episodes".

With Graphics to-die-for and rock-solid game play mechanics, the game ultimately lived up to the infamous E3 2005 trailer, and further solidified that the PS3, is in fact, the graphical BEAST that it initially proclaimed itself to be.
Although this game is one that I thoroughly cherish , I couldn't help but to feel that even though Guerrilla took a giant leap from the earliest chapter, that they still did not (and please don't hate me for this :/ ) push the game as far as they can go.
Now, its been almost a year since the release of Killzone 2, and with the recent rumors buzzing around on web about Killzone 3 being released sometime between 2010 – 2011, I felt that it is only fitting to create our own Killzone 3 Wishlist."
My wishlist:
1) Co-op play
Whether it's incorporating singe player, having a whole different side story via Resistance 2, or giving us objective scenarios, Killzone NEEDS a co-op mode. K2 teased us with it, and now it's time to deliver it. They can make great use of the classes from competitive mode or reinvent it all together. Whatever the case, it seems that the competitive multiplayer modes always need a dance partner, and co-op play is just the answer
2) A more fleshed out, serious story
The atmosphere of Killzone 2 was often off-set by the annoying characters. What am I, playing Haze? Kill off Rico.
Better than that, give us a whole new squad to play with. Perhaps a team who aren't a bunch of high-school jock meatheads?
I don't mind comic relief, but Killzone 2's supporting characters were a joke. The bad guys were at least bad, but who the hell makes a mom joke when Radec is about to execute you?
I'm not asking for Team Ico to help us with the story, but can the juvenile characters. Hated them with a passion.
And am I the only one who thinks it would be great to play as/see the side from the Helghast?
THEY are the good guys who lost everything because their fellow species screwed them over. Sure their leader is a maniac, but I hate the ISA.
-Improve on Multiplayer
This is a given, but give us more modes. Killzone 2's multiplayer was unique and great, but pretty standard. 5 common modes, but at least they were intense and fun. Tinker with some new concepts, keep the same great map layouts, etc.
And for the love of God add a party room and tell us how long modes are in a game. I hate joining games where every mode is chosen to last 30 minutes. I mean come on, I dont want to play Capture and Hold for 30 freaking minutes and then go through the rest of the modes. Some people like that, hell I wouldn't mind if I planned ahead, but let me see more match specifications when someone hosts a game.
Match specifications must also be patched to K2 whenever GG gets back from their "break".
Anyways, K2 was pretty good, but now that they got the most important and time consuming parts down, they can work on spending more time and resources on giving us an even better game
It make me cry two times(maybe because I play kz1 and read the history on killzone.com)
I was more into it
but many of you jst for hating miss the great
experience, Rico is just bad as that's his job
you guys talk about history on games like you
know something stfu
what I agree is to make single player more deep
mode cutscenes longer cutscenes
-Jungle level
-Helgahst Campaign
-Rico as a boss
-Different bases to spawn from besides your home base but still keep spawn grenades
-bullet penetration
-more options against bots
Vehicales in MP would be a big undertaking though. It would imo change alot of the online gameplay feel as KZ2 MP is more intimate and more grounded in reality imo. It could be done and the way the author explains it sounds really exciting but it will end up being more like Warhawk than KZ. Offcouse there is no harm in including this plus the same MP as is right now. Having the option is never a bad thing.
For me personally i wan't
1. Offline split screen co-op.
2. I want class based segments similar to KZ1.
3. I want more varied gameplay segements. The mech and turret segement in KZ2 didn't really wow me that much. Perhaps because they were too short.
4. Following from #3 KZ3 will need more OMG! action set pices like Uncahrted 2.
5. Better story that fully leverage the amazing KZ universe story with different takes from different perspective.
6. Get rid of Rico and the god awful mucho crap.
Checking PS store every 5 minutes..... Not Yet released............. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
Problem was I stopped playing soon after last map-pack. I'll get back into it! First Gotta platinum deadspace!
I will grabbing these along with the CoD 5 maps, and the Burnout Paradise Island. WOOT! CAN'T WAIT!
maps of kz1 ftw.
I think im going to pass. i barely play kz2 mp anymore it just got kinda cheezy after a while. it was fun the first few weeks when everyone was balanced. but the rocket whores and sniper scanners are just so lame! and $6 for two maps... get bent!
