*** Killzone 2 Review Thread ***

This isn't review news or anything, but I thought I had to post it

That Helghast head on the Killzone 2 boxart? Yeah, it's pretty menacing. So menacing, in fact, that the advertisements containing said terrifying head have been pulled from Toronto bus stops everywhere.

According to the Toronto Star (via Kotaku), the ads were pulled after teacher Davis Mirza emailed Sony Canada to complain about the Killzone 2 ads in the bus shelter near his school. Mirza said that his kids "come from a lot of different countries, who have to experience violence" and that the ads are "stuff they don't need to see."

Mirza described the central image of the Helghast as "a menacing head with glowing eyes," and the background as a warzone "like Iraq."

"I don't think that when you're in Scarborough, where we're having to deal on a constant basis with violence, that does anything to help promote any kind of community renewal or even responsibility," he said.

Sony Canada responded by pulling the ads from the bus shelter, and more were pulled after similar complaints were received in a different area. Now it looks like Sony is just doing away with the bus shelter campaign altogether.

"They were coming down at the end of the week; we just asked them to speed up the process," said Sony Canada public relations specialist Kyle Moffatt.

Good plan. Can't have those Helghast holding back community renewal for too long.
 
I feel they made it way too easy to rank up. Getting up to general doesnt take many hours to play

Yeah, but unlocking all the abilities takes foreverz. Specially since the turrets are so weak and the pistol sucks ballz.

I feel your pain dude,:( I got the turret ones, I got the pistol ones, and I need two more ribbons for my flying minions of death and destruction!!!:twisted::twisted::twisted::oldrazz::D:up:
 
Just got this game and gotta say it's freaking great.
 
I'll never understand how Havok beat Radec on Elite. It took me 35 attempts on Hard Mode the first time round. Right now I'm on the 2nd part of it. I decided to go for that first as its the hardest part of the game.

Like I said it took me 5 days. That was definetly one of the hardest boss fights Ive ever tackled. I also went for this first bc I figured if I could beat it, then the rest of the game should be a piece of cake. The first part of the battle was tough but the second part is near impossible. Here's some tips that I found useful:

1. After the doors open, kill the 2 guys that come out. Then 2 guys will drop from the front. Kill them 2. Its easier to use the knife as thats a 1 hit kill. After that a group of guys will come from the front. Try and throw a grenade to get a few of them dead and then run upstairs.

2. Kill the flamethrowers with your knife.

3. Take cover in the center of the balcony and pick off the guys at the bottom. There's a grenade launcher up there to help you out, but you can also use your grenades, main gun and/or pistol. Grenade Launcher is easiest, but Id try to conserve that ammo.

4. After you kill a few of them, a 2nd wave will come, this time, some will come upstairs. Use your knife to kill them and keep moving. Go back and forth between the 2 sides and tis will allow you to heal a bit. (This is probably the hardest part of it all)

5. If Rico dies, try to revive him if you safely can as he acts as a decoy for the enemies to attack rather than you.

6. At some point, rocket launchers will come. Use your grenade launcher to kill them. Be fast and try not to spend too much time aiming as they can easily kill you with one hit. I thik there will be 2 waves of these guys and after the 2nd, you will reach the next checkpoint. Use your grenades if you run out of ammo and then sniper if you have to.

7. Be aware of your surroundings as guys from downstairs can still shoot you if they get a clear shot or they could come upstairs. Just be fast and keep it moving.

Thats pretty much how the fight should progress. It took days to do this but once you get past this, its not so bad. The 3rd part is similar to the 2nd, but much shorter and nowhere near as intense. It only took me about an hour or 2 to beat.
 
Well a tactic that gets me to the rocket launcher men quite a lot is to knife the first 2 guys, pick up the flame thrower, and launch up the stairs. Dispatching of the flame thrower guys, I user the grenade laucnher on the first few waves, but when the shock troopers come to charge up the stairs, I grab the flame thrower again, and leg it to the left, where you get cover from the chairs etc.

Then you toast the shock troopers coming up the stairs, and you're lucky it Rico doesn't die. It works pretty well, I keep getting killed off by the odd grenade etc.
 
How many chapters/missions are there?
 
Awesome. I'm working on, I think, the 3rd one and I've played for about 2 1/2 hours...so it looks like it's a lengthy enough campaign.
 
Radec is hard as hell.

How far into the game is that, anyways?
 
Thread revival!

Best. Game. Ever.
 
Anyone download the new map packs i was hoping they would add co op to the game
 
Which ones? The most recent aren't available yet, I don't think, but they don't add co-op. They do add two new online weapons though -- flamethrower and boltgun.
 
i still need to buy this game, i borrowed it from my friend and am waiting for him to decide if hes gonna keep it or not so i could buy it off of him, i had to return it to him when i was tryin to kill radec on elite, that was GoW on god mode type hard right there, i was at it for days and couldnt finish the job before i had to return the game
 
I tried playing it on Elite but i was like screw it it was to freaking hard i didn't even get passed the first level.
 
Elite difficulty is insane. Enemies just don't die.
 
I agree, Elite mode was hard as hell, but extremely rewarding when you complete it. I think it took me one hour and ten minutes to beat the last level on Elite...don't know if that is counting how many times I died. lol

I can't wait for GG next project. This game exceeded the hype in my opinion.
 
1 hour 10 is a pretty good time for the last level on elite dude. I've been trying to complete the last section alone for like 3 months now.

And there is total fan service with GG. They're always reading forums finding out what changes players would like to see for the multiplayer. And most of the time, they give us a patch to improve the game.
