Killzone 2 'Steel and Titanium' DLC priced
If your metal death penis is in need of some more metal deathing, then you're likely anticipating Killzone 2's DLC pack, "Steel and Titanium." We all know it's coming on April 30, but we haven't heard of a price. Well, thanks to the PlayStation Blog, we now know it'll set gamers back a cool $5.99.
The blog was also kind enough to put up a trailer showing off the two new multiplayer maps (Vekta Cruiser and Wasteland Bullet). You can watch it after the break.

Little bit pricey for 2 maps isnt it?
Jampirow @ Apr 21st 2009 3:01PM
Well it COULD have been 10 bucks as usual, so for that i'm grateful.
Dave @ Apr 21st 2009 3:15PM
3 bux a map huh? they can keep em
DeepFriedSushi @ Apr 21st 2009 3:20PM
maps are voted on, even if you buy them good luck actually playing them unless you host your own game.
Jampirow @ Apr 21st 2009 3:54PM
Well to be honest, even map voting is kind of useless. I mean, from what I've played, people just don't care and go for the next map on the list.
Moris @ Apr 21st 2009 4:22PM
Price is satisfactory for me :P As for the whole map voting problem, i'm sure people will have rooms open that cycle through the 2 maps for people who want to play on them.
That, or you can just select the level you want to play on in the search function =]

Sorry, guys, I already sold my copy of KZ2.
Hace @ Apr 21st 2009 3:02PM
Right now I'm in a battle between realizing $6 for 2 maps is dumb, and my great impulse for this.
The impulse is winning.
ps360owner @ Apr 21st 2009 3:04PM
im feeling the train map looks mega good $5.99 is about 3 english pound so not to bad i guess.
Lambrick @ Apr 21st 2009 4:05PM
unluckily for you, $6 often ends up being around 3.99 in English currency, which usually translates to about $8, meaning you're getting boned for more money.
AshStampede @ Apr 21st 2009 4:55PM
@lambrick except to us it is 3.99, which in retrospect is less than a mcdonalds chicken legend meal. so it is all relative.
tired of cheap sob's @ Apr 21st 2009 3:06PM
If it is to much for you, dont buy it. They dont force it on you.
maxpontiac @ Apr 21st 2009 3:07PM
I was hoping for free, but 3 bucks per map isn't to bad.

"Metal death penis"
What the hell joystiq? Your writing and adolescence jokes already make you look bad enough why do you keep insisting on making yourselves look like complete morons? I guess that is why I come to joystiq for the news and not good writing.
joystiq fanboys start forest fire in 3...2...1...
Hyams @ Apr 21st 2009 3:31PM
Did ... did someone called "lol" just complain about jokes? 0_0
Lambrick @ Apr 21st 2009 4:06PM
@Hyams
HA! zing!
Moris @ Apr 21st 2009 4:23PM
@Hyams: LOL, i think they just did XD
brickwalker0 @ Apr 21st 2009 4:48PM
as ironic as his name is to his comment, i happen to agree with this article in particular.
i cant say ive seen Joystiq write like this before, but that first sentence in the blog was not a bit funny and came out of left field it seems.
DBuck_Eye @ Apr 21st 2009 3:08PM
As great as this game is, that is definitely the worst name for DLC I've ever heard.
H Choi @ Apr 21st 2009 3:14PM
Agreed. Sounds like a subtitle for a Pokemon game.
Orex @ Apr 21st 2009 3:09PM
I dont mind paying although, abit pricey for only 2 maps, and also
Am i the only one that thinks adding 3 only is abit...u know.
I think alot more ranks are in need. chances are im max rank already.
Jtenma @ Apr 21st 2009 3:14PM
New "Hardcore Ranks" are in a patch.
April 22nd.
Orex @ Apr 21st 2009 3:15PM
But only 3 new ranks.
Jtenma @ Apr 21st 2009 3:21PM
Oh, that's what you were referring to...I didn't see that before.
Orex @ Apr 21st 2009 3:28PM
np, but i think im already max if its only 3 ranks :(, mt score is pretty high, i hope im not max.
Manly Mcbeefigan (Mr. ESC) @ Apr 21st 2009 3:43PM
I got the General rank with a Black label for being one of the 6% best...of course I haven't played it in 2 weeks.Too busy playing L.O.G lost challenges.
Sssserioussssly Klungo'sss Arcade Roxxxxx.
I hope they add some balance,the sniper rifle feels a bit cheap and I love playing as a sniper then again is not as cheap as the effing shotgun.The sentries also need a boost,they get destroyed in a second.
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 21st 2009 6:55PM
the air support needs an upgrade. and more than 3 ranks would be great too.
Coriff @ Apr 21st 2009 3:10PM
$3 per map is a little ridiculous. It should have been $3.99. 2 per is a lot more reasonable, imo.
TinyTim121 @ Apr 22nd 2009 9:44AM
Do what i'm doing and wait for some youtube clips of users with the maps. Then decide for yourself if the purchase is worth it
jasper @ Apr 21st 2009 3:10PM
not bad priced at all will so be getting this cant wait
ProgHead @ Apr 21st 2009 3:10PM
well at six euros its cheap enough for me. Plus, the two maps look great, and I wouldnt mind pwning some 3 stars generals a bit more in other places.
Beware losers, I'm coming!!!! Sense that shadow behind you? It's actually in front of you. It's me! (killz some loser with a shot in the throat leaving the soldier with some excruciating last seconds of pain.)
samik @ Apr 21st 2009 3:10PM
Waiting for the first "killzone sucks, it sold only x million" comment
The train map alone should be worth the price though, would be interesting to relive the awesome Train levels from Timesplitters FP and Everything or Nothing, in a multiplayer experience and with HD
Sir Buzz Killington( The Artist formerly known as Jakka) @ Apr 21st 2009 3:13PM
Yeah, everyone's too obsessed with sales now. If a game doesn't sell 10M in the first 48 hours, call the WAAAAAAGHMBULANCE and declare it an economical failure!!!!!1
el serpiente @ Apr 21st 2009 3:22PM
Just like how you were obsessed about Little Big Planet sales for a few months there, right Jakka?
Sir Buzz Killington( The Artist formerly known as Jakka) @ Apr 21st 2009 3:30PM
Talk 'bout beating the dead horse...
el serpiente @ Apr 21st 2009 10:09PM
Seriously, you beat the hell out of that horse!
dgknight500 @ Apr 21st 2009 3:11PM
KZ2 is like crack to me so that will be a day one purchase...
j.howlett @ Apr 21st 2009 3:11PM
it's a dollar over what i would have liked but i'll get it. i just love that squeek of a kill.
Robobagins @ Apr 21st 2009 3:18PM
I live and die for that sound. It's so addictive when you're on a spree and all you hear. is gunfire-squeek-explonsion-squeek-gunfire-squeek-melee-squeek.
stormtrooper190 @ Apr 21st 2009 5:21PM
some times i hear a grenade being thrown and think its a squeek and miss count on the rewards
Jawmuncher @ Apr 21st 2009 3:17PM
5.99!
How will I be able to buy this and feed my kids!!!!
I'm joking of course
rohan @ Apr 21st 2009 3:20PM
that u have kids or that u feed them on a regular basis?
Orex @ Apr 21st 2009 3:19PM
I hope they also fixed the Rocket Noobs
(you all know who u are...)
Manly Mcbeefigan (Mr. ESC) @ Apr 21st 2009 3:48PM
They are not nearly as bad as the shotgun wh*res.I mean they are annoying to the snipers because any explosion makes the camera shake even if the explosion happened at the other side of the map but other than that I hate more people that just runs with the shotgun.
This ain't Gears of War PPL!
MarkHawk @ Apr 21st 2009 3:30PM
This may be my first piece of DLC for PS3 but 2 maps for 5 bucks... IDK will see. I really need to get back into this game but there is so much on my plate. Feels like it's the Holiday season.
traceur_ryuk_shinigami @ Apr 21st 2009 3:41PM
I love how everyone is complaining about these for $5.99, but no one was complaining about the $9.99 map pack for COD4 (which sucked)
Manly Mcbeefigan (Mr. ESC) @ Apr 21st 2009 3:50PM
They are complains is just that people learned to live with it,same with the awful Halo 3 Map packs.
I can't believe I paid for the Heroic maps back in the day,what was I thinking :(
sk8monroe81 @ Apr 21st 2009 4:54PM
especially when it is know that bungie is nice enough to give away their maps for free after so long....
j.howlett @ Apr 21st 2009 5:57PM
they're not the only ones with map packs that have gone free after awhile
iBirch @ Apr 21st 2009 3:43PM
Hmmm not bad could be worse. I'll be getting this me thinks.
