G3's Matt Joseph raves about the new DLC for Killzone 2, "Steel and Titanium".
Excerpt: "All in all, if you're a fan of KillZone 2 the map pack is well worth the $5.99 price tag. These maps are some of the best maps you can play on, and offer more to play on. Guerrilla Games has brought a fantastic game to the PS3, and in just a couple short months have brought even more maps to play on. Not only would you be doing yourself a favor by getting these maps because they are absolutely gorgeous and offer great battles, but it would show respect to the hard working companies that produce stellar games and DLC like this."
PSychic Gamers' review for the hit 2009 first person shooter, Killzone 2.
So many things were removed from kz2 that were patched into it from kz3. It's a head scratcher.
Great game, it is a shame Black Ops has sold 4 times better than it on its exclusive platform in 4 times less the time, shocking, but true.
Lets blame it on the noobs right? Yeah, this game is noob-unfriendly. Thats the reason
KZ2 online > KZ3 online
KZ3 graphics > KZ2 graphics
KZ3 controls > KZ2 controls
KZ2 difficulty > KZ3
Anything else?

With Graphics to-die-for and rock-solid game play mechanics, the game ultimately lived up to the infamous E3 2005 trailer, and further solidified that the PS3, is in fact, the graphical BEAST that it initially proclaimed itself to be.
Although this game is one that I thoroughly cherish , I couldn't help but to feel that even though Guerrilla took a giant leap from the earliest chapter, that they still did not (and please don't hate me for this :/ ) push the game as far as they can go.
Now, its been almost a year since the release of Killzone 2, and with the recent rumors buzzing around on web about Killzone 3 being released sometime between 2010 – 2011, I felt that it is only fitting to create our own Killzone 3 Wishlist."
My wishlist:
1) Co-op play
Whether it's incorporating singe player, having a whole different side story via Resistance 2, or giving us objective scenarios, Killzone NEEDS a co-op mode. K2 teased us with it, and now it's time to deliver it. They can make great use of the classes from competitive mode or reinvent it all together. Whatever the case, it seems that the competitive multiplayer modes always need a dance partner, and co-op play is just the answer
2) A more fleshed out, serious story
The atmosphere of Killzone 2 was often off-set by the annoying characters. What am I, playing Haze? Kill off Rico.
Better than that, give us a whole new squad to play with. Perhaps a team who aren't a bunch of high-school jock meatheads?
I don't mind comic relief, but Killzone 2's supporting characters were a joke. The bad guys were at least bad, but who the hell makes a mom joke when Radec is about to execute you?
I'm not asking for Team Ico to help us with the story, but can the juvenile characters. Hated them with a passion.
And am I the only one who thinks it would be great to play as/see the side from the Helghast?
THEY are the good guys who lost everything because their fellow species screwed them over. Sure their leader is a maniac, but I hate the ISA.
-Improve on Multiplayer
This is a given, but give us more modes. Killzone 2's multiplayer was unique and great, but pretty standard. 5 common modes, but at least they were intense and fun. Tinker with some new concepts, keep the same great map layouts, etc.
And for the love of God add a party room and tell us how long modes are in a game. I hate joining games where every mode is chosen to last 30 minutes. I mean come on, I dont want to play Capture and Hold for 30 freaking minutes and then go through the rest of the modes. Some people like that, hell I wouldn't mind if I planned ahead, but let me see more match specifications when someone hosts a game.
Match specifications must also be patched to K2 whenever GG gets back from their "break".
Anyways, K2 was pretty good, but now that they got the most important and time consuming parts down, they can work on spending more time and resources on giving us an even better game
It make me cry two times(maybe because I play kz1 and read the history on killzone.com)
I was more into it
but many of you jst for hating miss the great
experience, Rico is just bad as that's his job
you guys talk about history on games like you
know something stfu
what I agree is to make single player more deep
mode cutscenes longer cutscenes
-Jungle level
-Helgahst Campaign
-Rico as a boss
-Different bases to spawn from besides your home base but still keep spawn grenades
-bullet penetration
-more options against bots
Vehicales in MP would be a big undertaking though. It would imo change alot of the online gameplay feel as KZ2 MP is more intimate and more grounded in reality imo. It could be done and the way the author explains it sounds really exciting but it will end up being more like Warhawk than KZ. Offcouse there is no harm in including this plus the same MP as is right now. Having the option is never a bad thing.
For me personally i wan't
1. Offline split screen co-op.
2. I want class based segments similar to KZ1.
3. I want more varied gameplay segements. The mech and turret segement in KZ2 didn't really wow me that much. Perhaps because they were too short.
4. Following from #3 KZ3 will need more OMG! action set pices like Uncahrted 2.
5. Better story that fully leverage the amazing KZ universe story with different takes from different perspective.
6. Get rid of Rico and the god awful mucho crap.

I personally feel the awards are a bit biased, and I see that as a big problem this year as well. Yes, the winners are picked by us, the gamers, but even then can you really take the awards seriously? I for one am only watching for the debuts, and here is why..."
I'm not watching this crap. I'll just catch all the trailers literally 5 minute after they air on TV right here on this website.
I watched the VGAs last year and OMG, it's SO terrible.
I watch it for the exclusive unannounced games they show and videos of upcoming game like halo reach and that's what I care about I dont really care who wins any awards. But the announcements are pretty awesome you gotta admit.
yeah i dont care about who wins.. i know itll be the crappy games that are more popular that win. not the BEST game. Ill watch for the new trailers and stuff
