    yoooo these maps are SICK!!


    Especially the beach map, looks incredible, and is very intense and well designed. 
    The other map is great too, and pretty fucking intense, every few minutes an alarm starts ringing and this massive weapon launches, killing everyone who is not indoors. afterwards the entire map is all loud and super windy/dusty and debris flying everywhere. so when you hear that siren go off, run like hell. its pretty funny dude, everyone would be shootin, that thing goes off, and everyone stops what they're do and its a mad bum rush to the nearest doorway. which adds a lot of strategy because some dudes are waiting for you, and other planted turrets inside. ugh, this game is so cool man.  


    ...


    damn this fucking game looks amazing!

    Semi off topic: I just bought a PS3 today and tried out the K2 demo, and holy shit. No wonder so many people were hooting and hollering last February.

    So I haven't gotten Killzone 2 yet (going to soon). Will I need these maps to experience the multiplayer? Or will the servers be set for people without the maps?

    Not sure I assume that the games that use the DLC map will just not show up on the lobby.

    They released another patch recently which reduces control lag even further.  I never had a problem with the controls personally and I don't feel much of a difference.  Just a note you have to toggle the new controls in the settings menus.

    Anyways I downloaded the newest map pack.  The beach map is really amazing and a lot of fun but the other one I don't find so impressive and I don't like it so much.

    well it doesn't have matchmaking. you just choose what game you want to join. now from what i've seen after the first map pack was released, if you just search for games, you'll get a ton with people just using the original maps, you have to get specific with it

    Im looking at possible getting Killzone 2 when I get a ps3 next month but I was wondering about the maps packs, do they cost money? Do people actually play on them? and does Resistence 2 have map packs? I have to decide between the two for my first shooter (I can get a couple games but id rather have a few diffrent genre's)

    Thanks for any help you can give :)

    yeah they do cost money, but don't worry if you don't feel like putting out about 10 bucks (they will most likely combine them) for four maps, you can play the other original maps, which are still the most popular, by far. 
    Hmmmm.. It really depends on your taste in shooters. Both are great games, and you'll get a lot more out of Resistance 2- with the 8 player co-op and the deep (and very well featured) online.

    Ill probably ignore the Co-op since I dont really like voice communication when im playing games. If im playing with friends ill do it, but I wont be happy about it lol does Resistence 2 have a lot more "normal" multiplayer than Killzone 2?

    uh, it does have 60 player online. kz2 is 32 player max, though i like to keep it around 20 or less. 

    but uh, nah, its pretty equal other than that. 

    Killzone 2's multiplayer is tight, and has excellent maps. 
    And most people are using mics, but its not a game that requires a ton of communication, since its faced paced and non-stop action.

    Sounds awesome going on what I've read here. Might pick it up today! The beach map with the massive weapon reminds me of  map from HL2 multiplayer.

    I think the first map pack was a little better.  The train map is incredibly amazing, and I love the things you have to avoid, the kind of gameplay mechanic you don't see in games anymore.  The cruiser map in that pack is pretty cool too.

    The second map has the awesome beach map, which looks amazing and plays fine, but it feels a little unbalanced (against the ISA), and while the other map has the explosion gimmick, it doesn't look nearly as good to me.

    I'll probably wait until they release some kind of package deal with both the map packs together. If they don't do that, I likely won't get them because I feel they are ovvercharging for them.

    Just bought my copy. Will most likely take a week or two before it arrives in my doorstep and I hope there's not going to be a one minute pwnage the first time I enter a multiplayer game.

    yeah that's what I figure it's going to be so I'm hesitant to get it, no matter how cool it is.  Though I'm not opposed to playing against bots, though I'm still in that uncomfortable stage where I'm slowwwwwlllyyy trying to unlock all the classes.

    oh sickness, they changed bot matches so you could use all classes and all perks and weapons without having to unlock them in online.  Ended up getting the new map pack, and you know they might be my favorite maps in the game now.  There's nothing especially interesting about the layout of the nuclear bomb map though, but the nuclear bomb part is cool.  Beach head is epic.
