Killzone 2's 'Flash and Thunder' map pack, previously referred to as the 'Retro' downloadable content, has been revealed by Sony.
The pack will contain two re-made maps from the original Killzone: Beach Head and The Southern Hills. In Beach Head, the ISA must resist a Helghast landing force on a coastal outpost (notice the Beach in Beach Head). The Southern Hills turns the tables, with the ISA rampaging up a hill to demolish a Helghast fortress. Beach Head is said to be a small to medium-sized map, while The Southern Hills is much larger, appropriate for massive battles.
We've included one screen from each map below, but check out all 14 'Flash and Thunder' screenshots here. Killzone 2's 'Flash and Thunder' map pack will be available on June 11, with a price point yet to be determined (though it'll likely be $5.99, the same as the 'Steel and Titanium' pack).
----------
UPDATE: Sony has released the map pack's trailer to the masses. Watch it below.

Lol isn't it a bit too early for this? Well whatever. I'm kinda strapped for cash so I don't see this happening.

Yeah the maps look cool but that $5.99 price point for just two maps suck. I hope GG starts churning out more content for the money they're asking for.

I think I will wait this time. The other map pack had interesting maps but no one plays them much.

COD map packs are $10 a pop, atleast KZ2 are cheaper and they add more Trophies!!

Did anyone notice how these maps look nothing like the originals? They just used killzone 2 models for everthing so beach head looks the cornorith and southern hills looks like the barrens (why are there ISA crusers in the background!?).
I am sure they are fun but just dont call them remakes when they share little resembelence with the ones I remember in Killzone 1.

Great, another Pyrrhus Rise, and along with it, a map named beech, but is hardly a beach... plus it looks like CC at night..
PR would be great at night..

Just wait a while and you can bet your bottom dollar that they will merge both packs together for a knock down price, same goes for the new COD WaW map packs.
If there is one thing i have learnt with PSN its not to buy day one, unless you really really really want it of course.

both those maps don't look any different. Not being funny but they look like Helghan Industries and Saluman Market.
Wont be buying this if its the same price as last time. You know I hardly ever play the new maps because no rooms are open.
