New killzone medals discovered?

Playing with the browser path of the Killzone.com website, an ItaliaMac user (lamorgue) discovered three hidden medals. Maybe the announced three new hardcore classes?

so adding characters is like winning the lottery the just before a bus full of supermodels broke down in front of your house.

pixelsword6228d ago (Edited 6228d ago )

...Killzone 2 is dead on every competitive multiplayer website because you can set up your own Tournament within Killzone 2 itself; so why should anyone go to a website when all they have to do is go to the multiplayer and look at the Tourney list?

To dust-off an old pic...

Phantom_T6228d ago

It worked perfectly the last time I played it,and seeing that was ten minutes ago I doubt much has changed.
Great classes,
balanced,
NO LAG.
And working multiplayer from the beginning? Tell that to Epic Games.

Phantom_T6228d ago

Is why its buggy as hell,right?

crazy250006228d ago

im excited about a higher ranking system and more badges!! :)

WhittO6228d ago

ye, i think the only prob with K2 online was that it was far to easy to reach max rank, when you play you feel it is pointless because you aren't working for something.
Glad to see they have included extra ranks.

Ghoul6228d ago

whitto

i would love a cod4 like prestige mode for killzone2. make it possible to replay the level process, with a small but worth gimmik on endrank.

i agree it was a wee bit fast to get to general BUT its the medals that are the challenge not the rank. and those need to be extended continuasly with small or minor benefits.

i would love to get a higher engeneer medal even without a ingame benefit.

crazy250006228d ago

so hopefully they add a ton more, because it shouldnt be a big update just for badges and rank...right?

Im assuming it wouldnt need a lot of time...but im not a software developer, so we'll see!

joydestroy6228d ago (Edited 6228d ago )

wow, out of all the comments on here thus far, these are the only ones regarding the article haha.

yeah, i second that. can't wait for some more medals etc!

EDIT: you know what else i'd like...to be able to use classes in the single player campaign. that would be sick!

WhittO6228d ago

ye i think they wanted to be diff from cod4 and Resistance 2 etc and instead of working for a rank your working to unlock medals and abilities, which is in many ways better as it actually makes your gameplay improve, although now we have extra ranks and medals lol.

Also, people complain about RPG's and i do agree they are annoying, thats why its great GG gave us the option for custom games so you can just ban that class from being used in your game !

The only other prob i have is not knowing many settings of a game before joining, im sure they will fix that soon also. A system like Warhawk would be great, so you can see all the game details before you join.

Ghoul6228d ago

"The only other prob i have is not knowing many settings of a game before joining, im sure they will fix that soon also."

agree

my only gripe about this great custom server rules system, is that you cant see them all when looking for servers :). but that will be fixed later on.

crazy250006228d ago

I was just thinking about the game details idea also.....it annoys me to join certain games when I didnt intend to.....so that would definitely be a great patch.

Kleptic6228d ago (Edited 6228d ago )

the problem with killzone 2's rank system is that people inadvertently compare it to something like cod 4 or 5...they see 12 in killzone 2, and assume its 'easy' to reach max rank...

the reality is a little different though...as becoming a general in killzone 2 is easy, and takes about 10-15 hours 'the real way'...however being a general is only half of the classes...you get every primary ability for doing that, but you have to unlock the secondary abilities by using said primary abilities...and then unlock the 'shareable' aspect of the secondary abilities...not to mention the 30 odd medals you need to achieve to effectively 'beat' the multiplayer of killzone 2...

i'm nearly 90 hours in and still haven't gotten all the medals...I could pad a few of them (everyone plays pistol only matches to get that medal; would be a nightmare not to as the standard pistol is a complete joke)...but have stuck to as standard as possible servers since day 1, and still have stuff to unlock...

what GG more or less confirmed that they are doing is giving more ranks associated with the rest of the class system...as in a rank for having all the class abilities completely unlocked...a rank for getting all the objective based medals...and a rank for having every medal unlocked, and therefor illustrates you as having done everything...a lot of that is speculation on what these 3 extra ranks are exactly...but it makes the most sense...there are rumors also of ranks coming associated like a prestige system in cod...where there are ranks after reaching certain thresholds like 25k points or something...which do not unlock anything, but let others know that you pretty much play non stop...that is what most of us where requesting...other than honor ranks...seeing that someone is a general is nearly completely pointless, because you don't even know if they can use all the abilities yet...

the new ranks will make squads with random people much easier...as you will clearly be able to tell who is further along in the multiplayer at a glance...

the RL thing...I love killzone 2...and still do...but the rocket launchers in the game are a complete joke...sift through forums of any modern shooter's site...or play them...and you will see how much of an amateur mistake GG made when designing the assault class...and the weapons...there are all kinds of things that GG could do to fix the class, but NOTHING has been done...and NOTHING has been said about it...Seb comes on twice a week and tells us that most users don't like rocket launchers because 'you get killed by them'...which is complete crap...I knew in the beta that if little was done to the assault class that it would ultimately hurt the overall community more than any other aspect...and it seriously does...nearly 50% of servers now have either the class entirely locked out, or leave it with just a pistol...and they don't even put that in the title anymore, because if GG won't fix it...the community is simply phasing it out on its own...and even an assault with an m4 is a nightmare...its a class with ZERO drawbacks..extra health, extra speed, and over powered weapons are its only option...its by far one of the worst classes I have come across in competitive gaming...

to put it into perspective for anyone that hasn't played killzone 2...the assault class with an RL is effectively something in cod 4 where you could use a 2x juggernaut (twice the standard health, not just 50% or whatever cod gives you), some perk that lets you run twice as fast as anyone else for 15 seconds...and gives you 3 rpg's that are straight line accurate, and can be used point blank...to top that off, GG then creates a point system that results in you STILL getting positive points for getting 1 kill and a suicide...so just rush one poor dude and blow yourself up...its not hard with twice the health, a boost ability, and a rocket launcher that will blow up even if you point its straight at the ground and fire (cod even makes the weapon have to 'arm' over distance)...any player of cod 4 will know just how retarded that is on every single conceivable level...

so we pretty much just have to deal with it...enough players use the RL's to voice a whiny opinion everytime someone says how ridiculous they are...so there still is a section of the community using them...hopefully these fecks find themselves at a point where they can't find a game to use their beloved death sticks...

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX563d ago (Edited 563d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne563d ago (Edited 563d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro563d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken563d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown563d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72563d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken563d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya562d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast563d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood563d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX792d ago (Edited 792d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro792d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72792d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_792d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga792d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos792d ago (Edited 792d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23792d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000792d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin792d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole792d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix792d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989792d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor792d ago (Edited 792d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

792d ago
Michiel1989792d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1096d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1096d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1096d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491096d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381096d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1096d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1096d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381096d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1096d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761096d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1096d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301096d ago (Edited 1096d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1096d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1096d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1096d ago (Edited 1096d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1096d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1096d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
