Two New Maps, Two New Weapons For Killzone 2

36
Sure, the game's not dominating the PS3 scene like it was probably hoped it would, but Guerilla are still banging away on updates for Killzone 2, the latest of which appears to take the form of some new DLC.

Reader Corey sends us this list of trophies for the game, which were updated today to include mention of stuff not previously spoken of by Sony or Guerilla. It appears there'll be two new maps - "Suljeva Cliffside" and "Arctower Landing" - along with two new weapons, a Boltgun and a Flamethrower.

No idea on when these will actually appear, or how much they'll cost, but if they're turning up on official trophy lists, they can't be too far away.

1 - Who the hell starts an article like that?
A journalist isn't supposed to be a Fanbot! geez. And my reasons to never use kotaku grow by the day!

Yes, don't click on the link to give those kids credit. With the 360 fading a bit more every day, Kotaku is one of the last Xbox 360 fanboys websites, along with Edge and Eurogamer.

Waste of time. All you'll find there is their jealousy and their frustration.

2 - my ps3 just broke yesterday after 3 years of hot dam "astray" gaming...!!
i believe the power switch is broken because it turns off after turning on... my 42inch tv had the same type of problem. i will be getting this DLC after sony fixs my ps3... i am glad i have my third in four years "long green mile" running 360 in the living room to tie me over.. i just hope my 360 stays alive until then...lol

WTF the host paused the game in gears2 in horde mode for 5 minutes then quits... forget this shiat.. i am going back to true gaming. i am dusting off my ps2 and going to play shadow/colossus.

I have a feeling the bolt gun is going to be either ridiculous overpowered or ridiculous weak. In the game, it was basically one hit kill/attached to a wall.

The flamethrower will, probably, turn into a close quarters death trap at a spawn point, but be useless for any long range fighting, maybe it will combat the shotgun a bit.

3.3 - Flamethrower would be overkill for spawn points
Considering there is NO spawn protection anymore..(which I don't like). I wonder how they'd balance out the ammo and such with the new weapons.

I love the spawn points now. I hated it when people would spawn and be invincible for that one second. You could do a damn thing if they got you in their sights. Now that crap doesn't fly and you have to be more on point.

3.5 - They should have taken it from like 1 second to .5 seconds
It would give the person spawning a fighting chance. Since it spawns you in random directions, the spawned will have to FIND the enemy, while the enemy always knows that smoke is in front of them..camping for someone to pop up.

Direction is usually based on where people throw the thing though.

People always spawn facing the direction the point was thrown, which is why I always do a 180 before deploying the point, so people are, at least, facing the objective. It annoys me when people throw it in such a way that, when you spawn, your back is at the enemy/objective.

These have got to be free or atleast the weapons. I can't imagine how they would seperate people by giving those who pay more an advantage in weapon selection.

If they cost money i'll buy them anyways. I love this game, play it more than CoD4 now.

I think they will give the engineer the bolt gun since he lacks another main weapon and the bolt gun is a workers weapon. They will probably have a new class for the flamethrower. Pyro time anyone? HUDAHUDAHUDA

They'll probably do it like Warhwawk handled new weapons. The weapons were handled by free firmware updates(Like the wrench and biofield generator), but the maps were by DLC.

Hmm...you know.. I'm thinking this might be a side campaign DLC? I mean, there might be more trophies for the different weapons. I don't see these weapons in single player... ALTHOUGH, either way, the game will be EPIC.

EDIT:
Oops, I'm afraid I didn't look at it close enough... Okay, yeah these are going to be implemented into multiplayer. Sorry all!

"Kill 50 enemies..." ?!?!? I'm guessing they're probably adding a new multiplayer mode, which would be absolutely amazing!

I just picked up this game a couple days ago and I love the multiplayer. At first it seemed hard but now i got the gun control down and its awesome. I might get some of the DLC once I actually have money =/

First, welcome to a great experience! Second, I recommend the second DLC maps, for two reasons 1) because it's the most new dlc today and is less likely to be part of a special deal anytime soon; and 2) because the two maps featured in that dlc are not only beautiful but also fun.

9 - nice :)
the last map pack was hands down the best DLC i have ever bought but i've always wanted more stuff than just new maps. Looks like there's going to be new weapons and match modes coming up soon and i really can't wait :D

@killinet247
yeah i can't explain it,but KZ2 multiplayer tends to get better as you play. I guess you can say it grows on you.

Yeah that's what I've noticed so far. I'm sure it will occupy me until MW2. I'm just hoping it doesn't mess with my classes in the fall since I'm taking early classes what a drag.

I can't see how the Boltgun will be implemented in the game ? it will really unbalanced things.

The Flamethrower will be useless I'm sure.

12 - I don;t know about everybody else but
when i first saw this when i was checking trophies today my first thought was coop?? Why bc 50 kills in around tends to be quite a lot for a game. So i was thinking new coop mode. However this could also be one of those things where u just have to make a game with all game modes that last 30 min.

This sounds good. I'm not sure how the new weapons will work out, but I guess we will just have to wait and see. I'm sure I will love the new maps though. The last map pack was awesome.

Killzone 2 is my favorite online shooter this gen and I am happy that Guerrilla are giving the game so much support.

I still love this game. I thought that after the 'newness' would wear off that I would not play it anymore, but I still do. It's a crazy, often chaotic game.

Right, only games that sell.... 5 million or more should be supported with DLC on a regular basis..

Either way, they should make those two guns free and I'll happily pay for the maps.

Kllzone 2 is one of those games that just gets better and better the more I play it, I enjoy lots of games although after a few months find I play them less and less, but with Killzone the more I play the more I want to play it. All of the DLC so far has been of a high quality and added to the game so I am looking forward to this.
