Killzone 2 DLC Coming This Month

Two maps added in upcoming "Steel & Titanium" pack.

"Maybe after I get this helmet off, we could go find someplace quiet, maybe grab a taco? Hey, where are you going?"
Last night's edition of GameTrailers TV contained a quick segment on the topic of Killzone 2 downloadable content, with Guerrilla on-hand to talk a bit about it.

The upcoming "Steel & Titanium" pack will add two new maps to the game. One map, Wasteland Bullet, will feature fast-moving trains that players can hop on, and the other, Vetka Cruiser, is set on one of the ISA's big battle cruisers, the New Sun.

A bit of info about a second pack was also mentioned, and it sounds like this pack will have a retro theme, perhaps offering some upgraded versions of maps from the previous Killzone.

The first pack is due sometime this April. For more, check out the archive of GT's TV show.

When he takes that helmet off, I am just going to shoot him in his stupid bald head.

what if its only like $5, its supposed to include some new features too. Compared to COD4's 4 maps that cost $10, with no new features, i'd say that would be a reasonable price.

I can't believe people can even stand to play Killzone 2...Sure it has nice graphics, but the gameplay is horrible!

This is probably going to end up being overpriced, like most current DLC.

Not interested unless they're free. DLC is shady business.

new features? Like what? I only heard that from the guy (who obviously didn't have much skill with english) on GTTV and I think that was just a bit of a translation thing. Although, if you heard it elsewhere confirmed, lemme know.


And still, you know their going to charge for this. Its one of the few games on the PS3 that are going to get anythign for DLC. And pretty much the only exclusive with any potential for DLC.

I'm in the minority it seems when it comes to thinking Killzone 2 was an average experience (SP wise) at best.

The MP is addicting and hella fun and yes the graphics are amazing but  the gameplay is typical and the storyline is meh

KZ2 multiplayer is the best around right now. I'll definitely pick this up and I'll probably just be getting tired of the new maps by the time Modern Warfare 2 hits shelves ;)

What an age we live in where people automatically expect to pay for two extra multiplayer maps.

Free would be nice. I don't like it when they split the players. Those who have and those who don't have the map pack.

I agree some of my friends don't have the COD map packs and it kind of annoying when we play together but at the same time 10 bucks for four maps was totally extortionate .

well guys, considering this is PSN, and you can share stuff like this, it isn't a big deal at all, and almost none of you would have to actually pay for it if you are in a clan, which you most certainly should be in Killzone 2. 

One of my friends (or myself) always forks up the cash for the map packs, and we all have eachothers names on our own PS3's so we just go to their download history and download it. and if we want we just split the price up and pay back the person who bought it, or just be cool about it and pay for something else next time. 

 I have 14 games on my PS3, I paid for less than half of them. One day me and my brother in law bought $20 PSN cards, and we each bought different content with them, then traded it all. if you get a few buddies to do that, you will have a big collection in no time. Oh, and always take advantage of sales, like when the COD4 pack was half priced.

Also ( i know i sound like KZ2 fanboy, i guess i am i love the MP), its worth noting the exceptional quality of Kz2's maps. They are some of the best multiplayer maps ever made. And these 2 new ones look impressive as well:

Sounds fine, but I have yet to get heavily invested in the Killzone 2 multiplayer anyway. I might and buy it later.
