Download Killzone 2 Steel and Titanium April 30th

You may have seen the official announcement of the first DLC map pack for Killzone 2 on Spike TV and currently on Gametrailers.com, but we wanted to reiterate some of the key details of what will be available as well as let you know the official date it will be on the PSN for download: April 30th. The price for this map pack is still TBA.

The first DLC pack, called “Steel and Titanium”, will contain two brand new multiplayer maps with new gameplay elements and strategic twists, sure to test even the most skilled players.

Wasteland Bullet Vekta Cruiser

The first map in the pack is Wasteland Bullet, and the action will take place on the bullet train that and transports goods and troops between Pyrrhus and the Wasteland. The game is a frenzied firefight to wrestle control of the train from the enemy and into the hands of your faction. With the train moving at full speed, players will need to remain aware of the immediate environment as well as enemies – hitting an overhead obstacle at this speed will mean instant death.

The second map, Vekta Cruiser, will find ISA troops boarding a vast ship with the goal to repel a force of assaulting Helghast troops while also protecting the cruiser itself from heavy Helghan fire. The action takes place entirely indoors in a frantic and claustrophobic battle where attackers lurk around every corner.



.....

Well, I'm not so happy with us having to pay for it - and not looking forward to the "frenzied firefight" as I prefer sneaky strategic games with 8 or so players - but I am still dribbling from my penis in anticipation.

:slow:

i haven't completed sp yet!

do these maps sound like they came from the sp experience?

[codayop]

Its worded as though they are new but I reckon they are 2nd hand, so to speak.

[InfiniteStates]

Yep, they're just the fucking train and cruiser levels I bet you.

But on the other hand, I would rather they use assets (i.e. textures and prop models) that are already on the disk rather than fill my hard drive up with more pointless shit.

Train is in SP but on the new map there are 2 trains next to each other plus some shit passing in the middle. Looked very different from SP train, which was ummm bollox, dunno why they are so proud of it. So probably more shit on to HDD, but you can always upgrade Infinite

Yeah I'm gonna have to. It's a pain in the ass these days juggling disk contents.
