Right, the names are in for our King of Killzone event and tournament Tuesday (the last Tuesday of the month) is approaching. We’ve had a better response than the a previous competition, but then this is open to any TSA member and not restricted to those in the UK only. I’m excited to announce that all 18 applicants are in the first tournament, and there are a few new names going up against some legendary veterans from our very own clan. Helghan, more specifically Pyrrhus Rise, shall be playing host to a manic 10 minute bodycount match where the top score will be crowned June’s King of Killzone. As stated before, friendly fire is on – so random grenades and going all trigger happy is not advised. Whilst all classes are available, I would not encourage use of a rocket launcher, as one stray rocket could take away those precious points.

I have chosen points, not kills, because I feel this is about all round skill and god-given natural talent in whatever class suits your style. You may be a crack shot with the sniper rifle, a soldier with burst fire during assault, or maybe run in with a little spray and pray. All tactics are welcome, and it will be very interesting to see who wins using what tactic. So on Tuesday the 30th of June at 8pm BST (British summer time), the following are competing to prove they are the best:

TheDeathAvenger / Person678 / Commando101st / yogh_wayne / Colinbarr66 / Gastos84 / brendancalls / pOOpInFlames / Vandix / Firewarrior706 / Snebz_The_Hunter / Matty1209 / maneoriX / LFC_Fanatic / Zuler / xzero1299-PR / amethystvenom / XDeadlyWhispersX

You are all competing for the position of TSA King of Killzone and a potential 250 TSA points, with second place netting 200 points and third place netting 150 points. You will then have the option to forfeit 100 points to secure a place in the next tournament, escaping the risk of not being selected should there be more applications next time around. All runners up will get 20 TSA points for being good sports.

There will be a password to enter the match and this will be sent to you all via email. Please be in the lobby no later than 7.55pm (BST), as not showing up forfeits any potential points. Unfortunately I shall not be participating as I will be watching and taking notes. But if I was to participate – I would use the following tactics:

Select a class I am comfortable with, but not a class that is at a disadvantage over the terrain. Pyrrhus Rise will see mid to long range fire fights, with snipers and the assault class equipped with the right tools for the job. Perhaps gaining the lead through assault and then falling back as a sniper with my sights trained on the score board as much as the distant enemies. I would certainly not be forming a squad, as I would not want anyone spawning on me and taking potential kills away, likewise with dropping spawn grenades. As a one off at the beginning I’d be tempted to spawn as an assault trooper with a grenade launcher, sprint towards the enemy launching grenades and hoping to net a good few points early on. The sabby with the single shot rifle may also make an appearance, as he can drop anyone at distance with a couple of shots. Naturally I would be aiming at the head or lower neck to secure the extra points for a headshot, meaning 4 points per kill.

No matter what tactics you choose to go with on the day, I would certainly be getting my backside to boot camps and even polishing up my aim against bots.

Get practicing people, and see you on Helghan.

  1. “I would not encourage use of a rocket launcher” nooooo
    Dont the points get multiplied if your faction wind so the results will be changed. Unless you divide them all by 1.5


    • I’m a bit surprised I got in, thanks for letting me in


    • Yes fruit care to ellaborate? Since its essentially a deathmatch and as you state every man for himself. My take would be to take the highest scorer before win count, that way it will be the best on the day who takes the win!

      Even though BC might not be my strongest mode, BRING IT!


      • The winning team will have their scores divided by 1.5, and I will also take a screenshot at the very last second for accuracy.


  2. Good luck to all of you.


  3. I haven’t played Killzone in AAAAAAAAAAGES, since I completed the campain
    maybe I should go on it again…


  4. Woopwoop, my first TSA…thing, I’ll be sure to get practicing. Thanks for the opportunity and see you all in Helghan.


  5. Oh yeah!!! Bring it on!! Vandix is my bet.

    Can not wait for this!


    • I’m going for pOOp or Vandix, one of they guys will win


  6. Forgot about this! Hopefully it will fun and I’ll be at back my best for this!


  7. Woot!! This is going to be EPIC!! Time to polish my skills. Prepare to see me in boot everyday ;)


  8. This is anyones game,happy to be a part of it for sure :)
    I look forward to seeing you all out there…seeking my bullets :P


  9. cool im in anyways back to revising


  10. Bodycount only for this week :P


  11. Woo-hoo! See you on Helghan (through the cross-hair) :D


  12. Let the fun begin.


  13. As per, I’m being a bit ffick! I’m a KZ mentalist and I was wondering about the criteria for getting involved in a TSA KZ event. It sounds awesome and I wouldn’t mind giving it a lash one time! Good luck to the selected elite on the 30th by the way….!


  14. Woo!! Can’t believe i got in … havn’t played in ages guess i better get some practice in :D

    Made my day that has!

    If i win will it be changed to Queen of Killzone instead ? ;) :P heh heh heh


    • Now that’s just tormenting! :-P


    • Queen doesn’t have the same ring to it, would you settle for “Kingess”?

      Failing that, we can go with Miss Killzone – June 2009?.


      • hahaha Miss Killzone – June 2009 … i love it :D


  15. Glad to see there’s the ‘elite’ of the clan and then some non-clanners in there as well.
    Should be interesting, espeically on Pyrrhus as you effectively negated the Engineer which is the favourite class of a lot of us.


    • “elite” lol. Should be good this


    • i will definitly prove you wrong on the engeneer thing,mark my words…it is not negated at all in my mind :)


      • That’s what I was thinking, but I thought I’d play it safe and go with something more conventional, and so I don’t have to camp one spot.
