The first downloadable content for the Playstation exclusive hit Killzone 2 si coming out in a couple of weeks.

Guerrilla Games anounced that two new downloadable map packs will be made available on the Playstation Network on April 30. The new maps will be called Steel and Titanium. The first map is located on board the ISA tech cruiser New Sun. Gameplay on this map will focus on vertically oriented fights held on multiple decks and walkways. The second map will be placed on two high speed Helghast freight trains, an added element that gamers will have to manage is navigating the hard routes in between the two speeding trains.

There are still no pricing announced for any of the DLCs. Hopefully, it won’t be the kind of rip-off price we’ve been getting from some companies — yes, I’m referring to you Capcom.

To say Killzone 2 is anticipated by Playstation 3 gamers is a huge understatement. The game has already acquired near mythic status after the cotnroversional E3 2005 trailer. Everyone wants to know if Guerrilla Games can actually deliver on the promise of the pre-rendered video it showed during E3.

Fortunately enough for GG, Killzone 2 has indeed delivered. There’s a near unanimous vote that the game has presented a great gameplay experience with top notch graphics and sound design. Even the multiplayer component of the game is getting rave reviews.

Ever since the game servers for Killzone 2 opened up today, the servers have been flooded with gamers wanting to experience Killzone’s 2 multiplayer component. I still haven’t received my own copy of Killzone 2 but my friends who have tried it are raving about the whole thing. One other thing that impressed gamers is Guerrilla Games’ fast response in addressing glitches in the game. When servers opened there was a glitch in scrolling down when there are too many games going on in the servers. According to my friends, GG immediately fixed the problem and issued a statement that they have identified the glitch and had fixed it. GG knows that any kind of bad comments at this point could tarnish an otherwise stellar debut. Good job GG guys, and I hope you continue with this great service to the gamers.

We’ll finally find out if the video that was shown in E3 2005 will really live up to its initial hype or not.

Killzone 2 is definitely coming this coming February.

According to managing producer for the game Kyle Shubel, the game’s street date will be on February 27. Killzone 2 is probably one of the most anticipated games for the Playstation 3 mainly because of the footage shown in E3 2005. The pre-rendered video is claimed to be actual in-game footage according to the game developers.

Killzone 2 will have a number of game modes that include online multiplayer that support up to 32 players.
