Killzone 2, the Sony PS3′s key rival to Microsoft’s Halo series, had several common complaints made against it: it was too conservative in level design and the controls were sluggish. The latter issue has now been fixed.
The Killzone 2 offcial website just got a major makeover. The site at Killzone.com has had the builders in putting the finishing touches to new features in the run up to the first Killzone 2 DLC release Steel & Titanium.
Killzone 2 might not be getting a co-op mode, but Guerrilla is definitely still rolling out updates for the PS3’s flagship shooter. A new patch is out tomorrow adding a number of gameplay tweaks, fixes and a new ‘Hardcore’ multiplayer rank. The patch is also paving the way for the upcoming Steel & Titanium map pack, due on April 30th. Killzone 2 v1.24 patch should be hitting PSN tomorrow.
Killzone 2 creator, Guerrilla Games, has ruled out the possibility of two-player co-operative modes coming to the game. Shooters like Killzone 2 are often tipped for co-op gameplay – where two or more players can play through the main campaign together – and in the past a number of developers have thrown around the idea of adding it later as downloadable content, or DLC. Sadly, when it comes to Killzone 2, it’s just not going to happen.
“Killzone 2 could totally be done” on the Microsoft Xbox 360, says Christian Allen, a games designer who previously worked at Bungie, the company behind the Halo series on the Xbox 360. Killzone 2 is Sony’s best attempt yet to directly rival Halo’s epic first-person shooter success, on the PS3.
