Seemingly just rumours yesterday, but the juicy bits appear to have been confirmed by Guerrilla overnight, so it’s now worth posting about: basically, Killzone 2 will get its fair share of downloadable content very soon, and whilst not all of it will be free, much of it will be, and will be available via the game’s in-game store.
The DLC will be in the form of maps and extra game modes and most interestingly, Guerrilla are hoping to get the multiplayer maps from Killzone 1 in and playable. It’s certainly possible: when you try to select certain maps in Killzone 2 they flick past and are unselectable but it’s difficult to see what they are – if we’re treated to Beachhead we’ll be happy monkeys indeed.

I thought it was quite good, it only really got a load of flak for not being the “Halo Beater” it was hyped as. Plus, it’s only about a fiver so for about 40 squid you could get yourself a second hand PS2 and Killzone.
Go on, do it!

Killzone 2 assumes you’ve played and completed Killzone 1, to be honest.

Was it any good????, I may need to come to your house and beat you stupid! – The game was bloody awesome – and b4 anyone jumps in and says yeah but it was a bit glitchy – it was the glitchy bits that made it unique as well as a damn good game and brilliant multi player, it was and still is my favourite multiplayer console game to date, obviously KillZone 2 will supersede it it by a million to one – but thats not the point – it was a fab shooter offline and online, oh and if the killzone makers do decide to put ‘Beach head in as a multi p map they better fix it so we dont get trapped in the beach tower ever again! – man that was harsh! – but still fun

mate, nice to see another lover of the original killzone
i really thought the first games online was spot on (no problems with hooking up, voice chat was flawless, and the text input was ace – please use the same style GG) so heres hoping for a true sequel to the originals online! (its what im most looking forward too) not long to go now….and the advent of original maps (especially the jungle inlfuenced one – cant find the names of them any where)

I for one loved Killzone’s multiplayer was the first I played.
It’ll be great to see the maps I lost my online virginity to returning!

Yay! The maps of Killzone 1 held many a good gaming memory. It’ll be worth getting them even if it’s only for nostalgia’s sake.

Could Guerrilla have better DLC support than Criterion, find out next week? (or maybe a few months)

loved Killzone’s multiplayer – even the bots were well worked for offline multiplayer. Domination in the Station was always a favourite, not least because it was fun to say.
