Killzone 2: Redux

Scolar Visari, 2359:

“My people… Sons and daughters of Helghan. This much I vow. The history of these days will be written in blood. By crushing the armies of our enemy, by seizing the weapons they thought to turn against us, we were fighting for our very existence. But if there are those who would deny us peace; refuse us our rightful place in the universe, then we will unleash such terrible vengeance that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish![...]The enemy may shatter our bodies, but they cannot break our spirit. Even now they advance on our home world, to seize by force what they cannot claim by right. They cannot imagine what awaits them. WE WILL SMITE THE INVADERS FROM OUR SKIES! Though they sweep over our lands like the sands of winter; never again will we bow before them; never again endure their oppression; never again endure their tyranny. We will strike without warning and without mercy; fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares, drenching our ancestors’ graves with their blood. And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as we rise again from the ruins of our cities… they will know, Helghan belongs to the Helghast.“

Scolar Visari may be inspirational but he has nothing on the team members of TheSixthAxis world famous Killzone 2 clan. As Community Manager for TSA I’m really keen for the momentum with the clan to continue, and if I’m honest even improve a little, and by this I mean making it even more accessible to visitors of TSA, which could lead to some fresh blood in the clan etc…

The fine details as to how we manage this will become clear over the coming days but in the mean time it is critical that we don’t lose momentum of all the good work done in the past surrounding the TSA Clan; right from the clans inception by Alex and Michael, the setting up of the clan by Davs and myself, and obviously the enormity of Liam’s fantastic achievements which he couldn’t have done without the help, support and contributions from every single person who’s has ever taken part in any events, and of course especially the regulars which make up the clan.

Whilst it’s not ideal to lose a team member, the important thing to remember is that the team is bigger than any individual and as always the show will go on.

The first part of ‘the show’ going on is a TSA Boot Camp at 19:00 UK time (GMT +1), I will be using the Boot Camps as a yard stick for the communities level of interest in the title, if the interest is still there I can promise you a wealth of competitions of as high a standard as our ‘King Of Killzone’ one’s and all manner of other activity around this truly exceptional title. The frame work we lay down in the near future with this title will be replicated with other behemoths like Modern Warfare 2, Operation Flashpoint 2 and many other games of this type, I’m not stopping the action with FPS though as I’m determined that the community will go from strength to strength across all genres so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the wealth of action coming to TSA shortly.

For details of tonight’s Boot Camp check out the thread in our forum, and in the mean time if you have any ideas or features (and I do mean any) you want to be considered for TSA style community action then let us know in the Sunday Thoughts post, this really is a blank canvas and is your opportunity to get out of the TSA Community whatever it is you want.
