Figure 1 (Read on to know what its about).Heyy,
Just for everyones information this weekend (25 July 2009) for Killzone 2 is double experience! You get 2.5X points if you win and 1.5X if you lose :). This can be used to get you up those leaderboards or rank up a lot quicker.
Also scince I'm on the subject of Killzone I think I'll talk about it. To start off if you have a PS3, get this game. To me it looks like one of the best graphical games out and the gameplay is superb. The voice acting is also amazing. The images are clear and crisp and soon you'll feel like you really are taking part in the invasion of Helghan.
The missions in Killzone 2 don't get too repetitive (although I'm onloy halfway through the game at the moment). You take part in driving vehicles and getting in big mechanical things that totally own the Helghast! You feel like your doing damage in the actual fighting when you mow down another tank with your own tank :).
Anyway the real great part in the game is the multiplayer. Although there is only 8-10 levels (to General) and you unlock things a long the way it dosen't end there. At each few levels you unlock a new class (Tactician, Sabetour, Medic, etc.) and with that class comes new abilities. The tacticians primary ability is to put a spawn grenade (maximum of 2) on the map where the rest of the team can spawn from. The medic can revive people if they havent been headshotted and are waiting to respawn.
Each class also has a secondary ability which you unlock by doing the same thing 8 times in different games. I'll take medic for an example. You gain a "ribbon" if you revive 5 people in one game. If you do this 8 times in different games you get a medal which unlocks the medics secondary ability! The medics seconadary ability is to throw a health pack which your team can pick up to recharge your health. The picture at the top of the page (figure 1) shows the class unlockables. There are lots of other ribbons giving you various abilities aswell.
The clan and group support in Killzone 2 is fantastic and it has a great lobby system where you can pick your region and it shows you all the games in your region so you do not get lag. Anyway even when I choose an American or European server (I'm in Aus) I never experience any lag (wish the same cvould be said for Call of Duty).
Thats all I have time for today, hope you enjoyed the Killzone 2 info!
Ben.
