Killzone 2
Not too long ago we heard about Killzone 2′s first set of downloadable content which is two new maps. The only thing we did not hear is how much it would cost. The MP map pack “Steel and Titanium” has a confirmed price now and it seems fair. The Steel and Titanium map pack if you do not know includes two new maps Wasteland Bullet and Vekta Cruiser, and will be available for download April 30, 2009 via the PSN for $5.99.
Now on to the patch 1.24 details. Patch 1.24 adds 3 new ranks to the MP in KZ2. The new ranks will be achieved at 5,000- 10,000- and 100,000 points. The new ranks will not give rewards but give every player something to further strive for. Other features that will be added is a 17-24 player search game filter, an enlarged HUD and radar distance. Probably the most important feature and biggest step towards a party system, is the “join clan member tab” in the join game screen. The point of this is to join clan members more easily when playing in non-clan related games. Oh yeah, the patch also enables for Japan to join in on the fight. Japan will receive their copies and join the community on April 23, 2009. Last but not least the patch enables the DLC support.
Overall the price seems fair for the DLC, and the patches they put out seem to hit home with the community suggestions. So by this time next Thursday we should all be enjoying our new maps, and the game a little more. Be sure to check out the Steel and Titanium map pack trailer for KZ2 above as well.
