Why focus on a single game rather than an entire series?

Unless... Are we getting a Killzone 2 (arguably the best in the series) remaster / remake next year?

We've teamed up with the good folk at PS Rewired for the KILLZONE20YEARS community event! Fancy playing multiplayer in Killzone 2 again? We've got you! The official multiplayer servers for every Killzone game might have been shut down years ago, taking a core part of our childhood with them, but that's not going to stop us. We're hosting a community event in Killzone 2's fan-favourite multiplayer thanks to the magic of PS Rewired's private server. How can you join? I'm glad you asked... When: Sunday, November 3 @ 6pm ET / 3pm PT / 10 pm GMT

How to set up your PS3: https://psrewired.com/guides/ps3

What you'll need: A PS3, a copy of Killzone 2, and an internet connection. Once you're online, all you'll need to do is head into Killzone 2's multiplayer and find the KILLZONE20YEARS lobby. We'll be waiting to continue to eternal war between the ISA and Helghast with you..

Especially Killzone 2. Not sure why. I feel like I need to do something. 3d print a figurine or buy a big fucking poster. I have this hunger for Killzone and nothing fixes it. Guerrilla went full vegan with generic open world game and it feels so sad. Might get a custom t shirt printed or something

Hey everyone!

This post will be a bit lengthy so be prepared.

I decided to cosplay as a ISA marine from Killzone 2 with some tweaks. I chose to cosplay a ISA marine since I really enjoy the Killzone universe and I firmly believe it should make a comeback. Not with an HD remaster, but a full remake. Killzone has a lot to offer and it's sad to see it being pushed aside. By cosplaying as a ISA marine, I wanted to show people that this franchise isn't forgotten by the loyal playerbase and from the players that had a lot of fond memories playing the games.

Now, onto the details of the outfit and what I changed!

I couldn't recreate the ISA marine look as a 1 to 1 copy, that would've been too complex, especially when you notice the amount of details on the player models. So I decided to go for a more conventional look with the overall appearance remaining the same.

Changes:

• I added unit, rank and divisional patches (lacking in game, all they have is the Guerilla logo)
• I did not put the comms system on the body armour (if you look carefully, you will notice a wire cord for comms on the body armour attaching itself to the helmet on the player model. See picture 3)
• I did not make calf, thigh, forearm padding (that would've been too costly and bulky, I was already dying of heat)
• I did not make a full neck protector (on the player model, the orange neck piece is attached to a full neck protector, again, too bulky and too warm. I opted for a simple orange neck warmer that was light)

For the patches, I took inspiration from the WW2 Canadian P37 battledress. If you look at picture 4, you will notice that it goes as follows: Regiment, division, rank on both arms. I modified my uniform so on my right arm I would have: regiment (23rd M.A.T) and division (6 Division) respectively. On my left arm, I had branch (Vektan ISA) and rank. Now, Killzone wiki states that the 23rd M.A.T is a division, however, I haven't found a source that confirms if they were indeed a division or regiment so I took creative liberties to make it more conventional. So 23rd M.A.T as the regiment from the 6th Division (6th Division was confirmed by friendly AI in mission 2 of Killzone 2 when you see the Arc tower up close).

I went for a blue beret since I wasn't able to make the helmet and in Killzone Mercenaries you can see some of them with berets, but the colouring of the badge is inverted. Personally, I prefer the way I made it.

If you made it this far, thank you for your time you legend! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask!

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I own a copy of Killzone 2 and a friend of mine might lend me his Killzone 3 copy, would be enough to enjoy the story mode? Or is Killzone 1 mandatory to fully appreciate these games?

Does anyone even talk about lost planet two ?

because I’m shocked that no one has acknowledged that it took a lot of detail from possibly Warhammer or Dune

Can we just take a minute and appreciate Killzones big brain technique for spawn points?! The defense turrets to keep spawn campers away, and the player immunity for the brief time on spawn beacons/ grenades was amazing.

God damn I miss tearing shit up with killionaire

I know it’s probably been said, but… no way the ISA would have won without plot armour. Holy hell, this campaign… god, I remember how brutal this was on easy for me when I first played it. And beating it on Elite… I should have made a fresh save to keep track of how many times I flipping died, because I’m positive it’s a three digit number, and at LEAST a quarter of that is fighting Radec. Thank god for checkpoints, because it was brutal just getting to a point a save happened and I didn’t have to restart the whole thing over again. It was a real rush, the second stage before the Intruder crashes indoors, I was riding a high sniping people after using up every grenade from the launcher. When the Intruder crashed and checkpoint saved, the biggest sigh of relief you can image left me.

As for fighting Radec, his final defeat after 50 tries (Rico is so useless)… I managed to set him alight with a flamethrower and once that was drained, kept shooting him with whatever guns I could pick up. He finally spawned in front of Visari’s door for the final stage of me shooting him a little bit more (he’d killed me like, ten more times at that part and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat), but was still aflame, and died before I could shoot him. Hilariously, his knife was still in the same hand he uses his pistol to commit suicide. So by a goddamn miracle I won, using the dirtiest Vektan tactics I could.

Obligatory fuck Rico, though he did manage to draw some fire so he has some use. But really, if you don’t hate him for contributing almost nothing, the spitting on Radec and killing Visari cements the deal. Props to Guerrilla for going the route of making the protagonists more unlikable than the antagonists, an interesting experiment.

Anyways, just wanted to share. Off to get the rest of the single player trophies now!

...but it was on me, I had wrong expectations.

A while ago I asked here if Killzone 1 was necessary to appreciate this saga. Most of you guys told me that it was skippable, but others told me otherwise. In the end, I decided to play it. It wasn't super fun, but devs clearly tried to give it some gameplay depth: you can carry three weapons at time, most weapons have a secondary fire mode, also 4 playable characters. I enjoyed the game overall, even though I found the level design boring.

Time to play Killzone 2. Whenever I looked for it online there was always a lot of appreciation about it, even though mostly for the cool atmosphere. When I started playing, it instantly felt a lot better than Killzone 1: controls are waaay smoother, more guns around, also maps are way more enjoyable, the whole atmosphere felt a lot better and, elephant in the room, it's visually stunning for an early PS3 game. However, after a while... I started missing those features that made me enjoy Killzone 1: only one weapon at time, no secondary fire mode, no different playable characters. It was cool to shoot and to move around, but overall it felt kinda... dry?

Now, I totally understand that Killzone 2 came out in 2009 and back then Sony had different priorities: devs had to show what the new console was capable of, so a lot of effort in graphics, game physics, cool effects, enjoyable multiplayer modes and such. But I was definitely expecting those Killzone 1 features in Killzone 2, so here I am, kinda disappointed.

That's it. I guess it's one of those game where "I had to be there", and since I missed those times I will never really appreciate Killzone 2 as much as people did in 2009.

I just beat the game for the first time. Why does Rico have to ruin everything so often?
