Looked through the boards and haven't seen info on this anywhere, just saw this onKotaku:

A 57MB Killzone Patch is coming on wednesday:

  • adds three additional ranks to the top-level "hardcore" ranks.
  • exploits on the Radec Academy, Helghan Industries, Salamun Market and Tharsis Depot maps are being fixed- these dealt with players getting out of the map or normal gameplay areas

Guerilla

The full list of updates can be seen on Kotaku.

Can't wait for the DLC pack, the train level looks amazing.

They take some getting used to, but trust me you get used to them, and you start to love them, and you can thoroughly enjoy the game, atleast thats what happened to me. =\

I agree. The controls do take some getting used to, but once you do get used to them (and you will, I promise) you'll really enjoy them. At first I was totally frantic and couldn't aim for sh!t, but then I suddenly became every Helghan's nightmare!!! YEAH!!!!! Oh, and one thing I got that totally rocks are these trigger extensions for the L2 and R2 buttons. They just snap on. They are more like triggers and your fingers wont slip off of them in the heat of battle. I snapped them on and changed my controller scheme to standard 2 so that the R2 was my fire button, and it made a HUGE difference for me. In case you're curious, search 'sixaxis trigger' in eBay. They're ten bucks with free shipping and they snap on and off so you can put them up when you dont want to use them. They're awesome!!!

Oh btw ... change the controls to Alternate 2 ... I assume your a COD4-WAW fan (who isn't ... :lol: ) But the alternate 2 scheme should make the controls easier (ie similar to COD4-5), that and enabling hold to aim (so that you hold down L1 to aim) assuming you haven't done so already. Hope you enjoy them, and if you don't you can't go wrong with R2 either.

Both are great game's, I have my personal preference's but at the end of the day both are a lot of fun.

And yeah the mechanics take a while to get used to. But you DO get USED to them.

I didn't have any problems with the controls, and I hardly ever play FPS games. Or maybe I didn't have any problems with the controls because I'm not accustomed to playing FPS games a certain way, like how some people are with Socom, Call of Duty, etc. [QUOTE="navstar29"]DLC comes out on the last thursday of April .. so 10 days from now (the day my exams end.

Next Thursday? That's awesome. Those maps look incredible. And thanks! I've been saying I'd buy one for quite some time, so it's nice to finally have it.

Alot of people are adjusted to Cod style of play because its very easy to pick up and play and very very smooth.

Yeah, the mechanics are what I was referring to... I figured everyone would know what I meant. The mechanics aren't waaaaay off, either. They're actually just waaaaay on and take some getting used to. I'm telling you, this game has one of the best shooting mechanics there is once you get it under control. I only brought up the trigger extensions so everyone would know about them. They really are great. Anyway, sorry about the confusion.

Its extremely aggravating when DLC are released and you cannot buy them! We dont have psn cards here and i dont have a credit card. The patch sounds kool but reading that its to ' prepare for the new dlc' just threw me off. I'll just sell the game when i'm done ranking up, cuz i wont be able to buy any dlc EVER.

Guerella sucks. SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!!

only criterion made me happy with free dlc they use to release.

How come it doesn't say that it'll fix the exploit on Blood Gracht? I thought that was the most common one...

I was the same as you (with the fps thing). I never played FPS games that often except for CoD4, so when i picked up KZ2 the controls were pretty easy to get used to once i pushed all my tendencies from COD4 aside...and that demo is pretty awesome. I love to go through just knifing people xD

i doubt that its quite hard, i remember when microsoft was going to catch all glitches and mods and put i'm a cheater on the motto it never happened same with halo 3, it had a saying on matchmaking cheating or modding will be banned. i knew a guy who basically modded the whole game up and nothing happened. this goes with other games aswell

The mechanics are fine. The are simply DIFFERENT from the COD franchise which everyone is use to. It's actually quite smooth once you become familiar with it

Or COD4 was just the only game they played for months after they found out the online was better than sex, drugs or religion. Well, religion anyway. Definitely a huge step forward for video games.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to make my point. What's with the new ranks? Is this going to have any affect on me or is it just the psychological effect of watching a status bar fill up at the end of the match? I mean, new ranks don't really do anything... let's get some new classes up in here. Or at least a Prestige mode or something.

Or more weapons and abilities or some sort of weapons/armor customization. I know the latter is asking a lot, but it'd be sweet.
