PSU Feature: The Guns of Killzone 2

(continued from previous page) ...weapon of choice for a variety of gamers and we look forward to firing off a few rounds for ourselves come February.

 


We’ve obviously saved the best weapon for last. The Shotgun -- now we understand we said the dual-rifle/shotgun was our favorite weapon of all, unfortunately, when it comes to just a standard equipped gun, nothing beats the shotgun on its own. Moving through corridors and weaving through close-quarter combat, it’s always great fun to watch the enemy take a shell to the chest and go flying in reverse. Mowing down one Helghast at a time, the trusty sidekick of the Assault Rifle should leave any ISA Soldier proud to be at war.



These are the only known weapons of Killzone 2 thus far and we're sure there will be more slowly revealed as February 2009 rolls around. With a lot of trailers and gameplay to look forward to, it will be no surprise to finally see a lot more weapons in destructive action. We've speculated how each of these weapons lines up, now it's your turn to do the same below. Which are you looking forward to most?

[Editor's Note: Please understand this entire feature is based around speculation. I'm aware that we are not using the technical in-game weapon names for the weapons above.]

    Im sticking with the helghast rifle shotgun combo. I hope this game does not have the same Ammo contraints the first did.

    I agree with you adrienb3: Where is the demo? Couldnt they at least release the demo they showed at E3-07? or maybe even the PS Day Demo...?

    Come on GG! Im dying to see some high-res Helgast on my TV!

    that shotgun looks badass. Hopefully they have the Helgast rocket laucher that can shoot 3 at a time. I also want to the the Helgast pistol that can shoot burst nd the sniper rifle.

    NOTE:Editor has revised the article reflecting my response......Severly dissapointing "feature" maybe if the writer could've done some quick research it wouldn't be so bad...

    For starters, the "helghast assault rifle" (since we are not calling them by in game names which can be easliy seen on killzone.com) resembles the FAMAS assault rifle.

    The SMG seen resembles the PP19 Bizon SMG.

    The revolver was seen in Killzone Liberation.

    There is also a single shot assault rifle seen in gameplay of the E3 '07 which this "feature" doesn't even take the time to mention.

    Again take some care, research and time before writing.

    They need to give us an online demo like COD4 had on the 360(not like Halo 3, where you had to BUY Crackdown to play!). But still, I did enjoy seeing some of the weapons.

    (PSN - Maxkiller0 ) i don't care about the guns lol god this game looks good im no a fanboy or anything and i have played alot of FPS but this game has the most top Graphics i have ever seen watch the video and see for yourself man and if you say that this game has bad graphics i think you need a eye test or something anyhow what i do hope is the gameplay better be as good as the graphics if not then it just a other sh.it fps with good graphics.

    That looks NOTHING like the FAMAS Assault Rifle...Give it another look man. Also, the SMG hardly resembles the PP 19 Bizon...Go ahead and place them side-by-side with one another via any google search picture you'd like. There are obvious differences between both of those comparisons you made.

    Also, the Revolver was in Liberations, not the original Killzone title, which is what I was specifically talking about. As I pointed out several times.

    Furthermore, that "Single-shot" Assault Rifle that you're referring to is the EXACT same Rifle as the FIRST mentioned in my feature...Take a still screen and compare the sides of the guns. They're identical.

    Thanks for reading though.

    Infact here... http://www.psu.com/media/killzone2_feature/assaultrifle_02.jpg There is the same gun used throughout the ENTIRE E3 '07 trailer which also happens to be the SAME gun at the top of this feature.

    1. NOTE: Editor has revised the article to reflect my response...Single shot rifle is NOT the same here is an official weapon pic from GG

    1. The Helghast Assault rifle (stA-52 LAR) is based off the FAMAS take a actual look at both rifles, the only diffrence is in Killzone it has a cylindrical magazine.

    1. Here is another official weapon picture from GG of the SMG, tell me it does not bear resemblence to the PP-19 down to the forward cylindrical magazine:

    wow, this guy has never been on the army.  The 249 SAW can be extremely accurate if the bipods are used, especially if the weapon is using anything more powerful than a 5.56.  I understand im getting too technical and reading too much into it.  But the first rifle looks like a M-4 configuration, with a bullpup design, which it would work in RL, but the problem is the cyclic rate of fire would be reduced.  Anyway, this guy needs some weapon education.

    • 10:01pm BST - May 13th, 2008

    Dubbed... I can give you the Bison from that angle -- I stand corrected.  But I stand by my opinion on the FAMAS, I still don't feel those two guns remotely look like one another, I truly stand by my perspective on that one. I'd also like to know what this has to even do with what I wrote?  The entire piece is speculation. I have no clue how you figure what these weapons resemble in real life (in your opinion) has to do with this feature at all.

     

    I also still can't find in the E3 07 trailer where you're seeing that one-shot rifle. I've now watched it 8-10 times and still fail to see it. Can you screenshot that for me?

    At about 1:10 the gun shown but not shot here: http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/748475/killzone-next-gen/videos/killzone2_gp_e3_sony_071107.html Fired here at about 1:07 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24078.html

    • 10:35pm BST - May 13th, 2008

    Ok that explains why I couldn't find it. Neither of those are the E3 '07 trailer. One is the demo being played by an IGN staff member and the other is from a GC.

    I'll add in the One-Shotter at the end just for you buddy.

    There you go Dubbed, thrown in just for you. I also added some parenthesis with your analysis of the weapon comparisons, lol

    My biggest question is will there be co-op on this one? I mean some two player offline co-op and two player online co-op.

    The ISA rifle was the best in the first game, but there was so little ammo for it.  Had to use the Helghast rifle and the machine gun for most of the game.

    haha dubbedinenglish UR AN IDIOT, YOU didnt do YOUR research not the individual who wrote this article! look above, they mention the single shot rifle. sheesh, man, talk about hypocrisy and being a turd

  25. Dubbedinenglish

    • 8:24am BST - May 14th, 2008

    @Dreadnaught it was edited after my response... Secondly the single shot rifle appears at 2:27-2:28 during the E3 trailer when the robed Helghast (shock trooper) is killed and he throws it tward the player....Another bit are the weapon names in order of appearance, M-82 (E3 with grenade launcher), M1 LMG Tyrant Chaingun, M3 revolver, stA-52 LAR, (SMG is unnamed as of yet), M404 MAW (medium anti-tank weapon), (single shot has been named by Seb "motherh" Downie but is buried in the ask the dev thread at PSU), M13 Semi-Auto shotgun....All of which can be found on Killzone.com under the intel section.

    ok we are all happy that you noticed the massive error that he left out a guin, even tho this was speculation adn not an official list of guns.  All I can say is CHILL OUT, lol we are all here talking about how we are excited, we dont need you surfing the net to find out exactly what gun thes guns were modeled after, lol we get it you know alot bout guns hah

    Solidus I think you didn't get the point of my resposes. My point isn't to say "ohh I haz firearmz knowledgez." It's rather if your writing an article on a subject try to do some research before posting, rather than going off of "what I thinkz."  Also like I've said many times that all this information is readily and easly available to anyone who takes five minutes to look it up. Anywho  the artice is  now a bit more accurate so my work is done.

    I read on the Playstation blog earlier today that you can only carry two weapons at a time and one slot is always reserved by the revolver.
