X-Play Pro Tips: Killzone 2 Multiplayer

In this edition of Pro Tips, Tom "Tsquared" Taylor gives you tips to help you conquer multiplayer in Killzone 2.

Imallvol76232d ago

So essentially it was a tip . . . not tips, lol. He just said SQUAD UP which I have yet to see anyone use efficiently. I get along just fine without it, but it would be nice to use it correctly. The multilayer in this game has so much depth its ridiculous.

RememberThe3576232d ago

If there was a party system in place way more people would be squadding up.

SmokingMonkey6232d ago

good luck getting Air Support ribbons.

Best....Game....Ever.

and "Get off my Train!"

RememberThe3576232d ago

I hate that. I still have not gotten one of those damn ribbons! I think the most kills I've gotten was 4. So close yet so far away.

Greek996232d ago

I finally achieved that Ribbion. IMHO..I think its the hardest Ribbon to unlock.
Heres my tip:
Join a PISTOLS ONLY game. Pistols don't have much effect against your bots compared to the assault rifles. Your bots will last longer.
And protect them. Camp if you have to. Its important not to ditch them, going solo.

Megaton6232d ago (Edited 6232d ago )

Seriously, this is the guy that was giving "pro CoD4 tips" on using an M16 w/Stopping Power.

phosphor1126232d ago

The best though? No. I actually like using double tap with p90....yumm...can u say "raped"?

Megaton6232d ago (Edited 6232d ago )

M16/Stopping Power is the classic '1 hit kill' noob combo. He was tubing with the thing too.

crematory6232d ago

1- be in a clan if u can , the fun factor would be double if u discuss tactics between clan members

2- don't run and gun(cod style) fire then run take cover return fire

3- i found flank the enemy is the best way to raise u k/d

4- try to aim for a head , its getting difficult at beginning then its will be very easy and its very usefull for assault kill

5- if u mastered c4, i guarantee 10 kill per match from it

6- if u play in public room and no tactician or u saw bad spawn point don't try to win its a sure loose

RememberThe3576232d ago

If you don't know where to set spawn points please don't set them, let someone else do it.

And same thing goes for the turrets. You need to set them up tactically, not right in front of the enemy so they can just blow it up.

Dark General6232d ago

I have to admit i'm terrible at setting up turrets unless it's for search and retrieve. But the biggest tip i can give you guys is:

Play tactician if no one else is a tact on your team. Switching to tact and placing a (good) spawn point really can turn the tides of any game mode. Also a great lesser known tip is that wherever you throw a spawn grenade the people who spawn from it will spawn in the OPPOSITE direction of where you throw it. So when you throw one ideally your back should be towards where you want people to be facing when you throw down a spawn point.

phosphor1126232d ago

I want to kill those who don't know how to throw spawns. They throw them far away from objectives, or throw none at all. It makes me nerd rage so much. In fact, I haven't played KZ2 MP for 2 weeks now cuz I want to wait for the noobs to get better. I'm always stuck on the sh*t team when I'm gettin 100+ points and the guy below me has 50. Wtf!? L2Play, seriously kids.

Downtown boogey6232d ago (Edited 6232d ago )

1. Squad up!.. sure... :)

2. Use the time between missions to get to a vantage point and possibly to predict the next mode (ex. get to the enemy S&D location)

3. Set your sensitivity settings high (one level less Y recommended anyway)

4. ROUTE MEANS EVERYTHING: Flanking is how you get kills and WIN

5. Run a lot... A LOT! (The Boost ability isn't necessary though)

6. Tacticians are mandatory in order to win a game.

7. Try to shoot ONLY if you're sure to get a kill.

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

OtterX569d ago (Edited 569d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne569d ago (Edited 569d 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-ro569d ago

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

just_looken569d 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

MDTunkown569d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72569d 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_looken569d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya569d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast569d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood569d 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.

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-ro798d ago

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

darthv72798d 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_798d ago

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

Cacabunga798d ago

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

Profchaos798d ago (Edited 798d 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

seanpitt23798d 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!

Iceball2000799d ago

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

Father__Merrin799d ago

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

InUrFoxHole798d ago

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

Marcus Fenix799d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989798d ago

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

1Victor798d ago (Edited 798d 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 😱

798d ago
Michiel1989798d 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.

1Victor1103d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1103d ago

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

jznrpg1102d ago

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

badz1491102d 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!

Vengeance11381103d 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 Kim1103d ago

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

VersusDMC1103d 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?

Vengeance11381102d ago

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

solideagle1102d 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.

Phoenix761102d 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

REDGUM1102d ago

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

thesoftware7301103d ago (Edited 1103d 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.

blacktiger1102d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1103d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1102d ago

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

Imalwaysright1102d ago

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