Holy moly was that ending ever slapdash. That last fight wasn't even hard or fun, just annoying and buggy.

Yikes, Guerrilla. I know this was a launch title and you've never been great at single player campaigns but this was just awful. Thanks for the eye candy at least!

I like the MP, but most of my friends are on BF4 and KZ's already declining MP hurts. Shadow Fall was ultimately a beautiful but very shallow game.

I know there probably isn't an answer, but maybe I missed it in the Dossiers, Comic Pages and Newspapers I completely skipped over:

What, exactly, was the weapon that made that scientist - Masar I think? - so important? It seemed like a viral weapon/biological warfare thing but I don't think it was ever elaborated on?

Also, thanks, game, for taking killing Revan out of my hands completely. That was the one thing I really wish I could have had the option of doing myself, instead of taking it away entirely. I didn't even care about the Helghan leader.

I think it was less the type of weapon to be used, but the fact that if it was, the Cold War would go hot and that would be even worse.

Plot spoilers.

It was a bio-weapon. It was originally being developed in such a way that it specifically targeted Helghast only, not humans. According to Sinclair it was intended as a deterrent ("Quit being a bunch of assholes or we'll finish up that failed genocide.") However, Massar went a little bit loopy and started changing it to target humans. So the VSA was after Massar to stop her from constructing the "wrong" virus and, if captured alive, get her back to working on the "right" one. The Helghast wanted the opposite.

O C C O Q U A N

Playstation Blog posted:


We are very excited to announce the details of Killzone Shadow Falls first multiplayer expansion: The Insurgent Pack.

The expansion pack is full of exciting new features for multiplayer including a brand new Character Class, 3 new abilities, 3 new weapons and 2 new game modes.

The Helghast government has been secretly funding The Black Hand, the operatives of which have been infiltrating Vekta City. The VSA has also started a programme that sends saboteurs disguised as refugees to the Helghast side of the wall. These insurgents are playable for the first time in the brand new Insurgent Expansion, which includes:

The Insurgent a brand new class with two unique abilities: Hack and Steal. The insurgent starts with just a pistol and his wits about him. As vulnerable as he is, he can slowly build up his arsenal in the game by using [Steal] to steal weapons and abilities from downed enemies, which enables him to use those weapons throughout the game, even if he falls in combat. By Using [Hack] he can change enemy ground automata into friendlies, turning the tide of battle quite swiftly.

3 New Abilities The Scout, Support and Assault also get additional abilities
E-Pulse emitter a deployable beacon that sends out an e-pulse making it difficult for enemy units to install automata in that area
Tactical Echo emitter a deployable beacon that send out a Tactical Echo from a fixed location making the area hard to infiltrate by hidden enemy units
Guard Drone The Assault gets a stationary Buddy drone; deploy it in one place and it guards the location from a ground level.

3 New Weapons Welcome old friends and new with this pack of weapons for the Scout, Assault and Support:
M82 the classic assault rifle of choice from Killzone 2 and 3 is back!
L512 SMG Pistol this amazing machine pistol makes your tactical secondary weapon of choice that much more punch
Sta14 Rifle The sniper rifle of many battles past adds to your long distance sniping arsenal.

New Single Player Elite Mode The nightmarish difficulty of Elite Mode will test the hardest of warriors
3 lives, Hard difficulty, and the Shadowfall campaign to test your mettle.

New Online Collectibles Mode Find the online collectibles crates in game for rewards
A limited set of collectible crates will spawn only for Insurgent Expansion holders, one per match for a limited time. Collect one and earn extra points in game, collect more and stand to win rewards in game.

Insurgent Personalisation Pack
1 OWL Skin
3 Spotlight Moves
1 Voice Over pack containing HGH and VSA battle chatter voices

New Challenges and Trophies
All this content comes with its own set of Challenges and Trophies to unlock. Trophy details will be released soon.

The Insurgent Pack will be available on the Store in April for $9.99. Of course, you get it for free with the Season Pass, which gives you all the essential Killzone Shadow Fall multiplayer DLC at the best value.

My favorite gun is back, the STa14. Yaaay.

I've been burning through this game's hard mode these past few days and I haven't hit a snag until just recently. There's this one segment of one of the later levels where you have to defend the female helghast character while she hacks a computer. During this segment, you the player need to hack two or more doors to stop an endlessly respawning wave of enemies. The first door is no problem at all, but the second is strange. These two attack drones come in and will shoot down your OWL if it begins hacking the door. While my normal solution to this problem would be to shoot them down, they seem to be completely invincible. After two rockets they begin sparking and acting somewhat differently, but after the subsequent 16 rockets that all made contact (along with all the ammo in the charge and shoot gun you are always equipped with, every shot of which made contact), I'm convinced that these drones are invincible. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or is this just another one of the many game-breaking glitches that came with it?

EDIT: Just tried this part again, killed both drones on my first attempt with one and a half mags of the Pulver. Pretty sure the game was just glitching earlier.

So I am guessing that there is no auto team balance? I was playing a Team Deathmatch earlier and pretty much trapped in spawn. I checked the scoreboard and noticed that it was a team of 6 vs either 1 or 2 of us.

What attitude problem?
Has anyone had any trouble completing Chapter 7 of the campaign due to technical difficulties? I'm at the part where you escort Massar's container in zero gravity across a rail and have to use a rocket launcher to shoot down other containers/droids as you go. At the end, orange force fields are supposed to disappear as Massar says "That's it!" and another door opens that allows you to open an airlock, but that never happens for me. The container goes through the solid door and asks me to complete the next objective, which is impossible. I don't think there's anything I need to do to trigger this event based on videos I've watched. It seems like I get less containers that need to be blasted out of the way, but I chalked that up to the difficult setting.

I'm hoping there's some easy trick to this I'm missing. I really just want to finish the campaign and be done with it.

So uhh... Its the player ever supposed to like the ISA ever? Like it seems like the entire game is just going "holy poo poo look at how evil the dudes you are playing as are". I spent the whole time wishing my character could at least be a little aware of all the awful poo poo they had done, while the Helghast just tried really hard to not die.

The taking back their home from the helghast fell flat because it was *their* home in the first place.

I don't think you're supposed to like either side. This is the first installment of the series that I played and went into it without any knowledge of the other games. And the way the plot unfolded to me is that the oh so good ISA with it's sparkling white cities isn't the poor society that only tries to protect itself against the evil Helghast.

So the multiplayer has been kind of a breath of fresh air. The high health game play is something I haven't done in ages, though it feels like it makes lag much more pronounced. I have a pretty decent connection but there are times a player will lag up to me and after I shoot 20 rounds in their face I find my arm twisted and a knife in my back.

One shot melees are also kinda of annoying when it seems like the sickle fires unicorn dreams. Though it does make me wonder, what are considered some of the better guns? The LMG has been okay, and the scout burst smg is a good time too. Does range actually mean accuracy? Does the base sights give better accuracy compared to scopes? It claims to increase it.

O C C O Q U A N

Killzone Blog posted:




Today sees the arrival of The Canyon, the latest freely downloadable multiplayer map for Killzone Shadow Fall. Situated deep within one of the Petrusite fissures scarring planet Helghan, The Canyon is all that remains of the once-stately palatial quarters in the city of Pyrrhus.

Held in place by struts and bridges, this precariously balanced range of rock and crumbling infrastructure now serves a new purpose for the Helghast. Enormous mechanical pumps pierce the cityscape, syphoning the Petrusite that seeps up from the fissure to the surrounding mining spires. The Canyon includes plenty of tight spaces for tense close-quarters combat, as well as more open areas that require quick thinking and sharp shooting. Players preferring a stealthy approach will want to use the narrow routes on the extremes of the map just dont get to close to the edge, because its a long way down Unique amongst all existing maps for Killzone Shadow Fall, The Canyon also introduces a new gameplay element to the multiplayer mix: gravity wells. Consisting of anomalous spaces where the planets gravity field is severely distorted, these wells allow players to fall upwards to quickly reach different areas.

You can find the new map in the Hanger / Cruiser pack. Once you get it - your Playstation system will download only The Canyon from the pack.
