The pack's release will also usher in the ability to use two more of the campaign mode's weapons in multiplayer -- but only on the new maps. The VC1 Flamethrower will appear for use on Suljeva Cliffside, while Arctower Landing will offer the opportunity to say "I love you" to your enemies using the Boltgun 4400.

i saw they were map specific on the psblog. i was looking forward to bolting someone to the tree in radec academy
Longhorn of Myon [PSN: MariusElijah] @ Jul 17th 2009 2:33PM
i never seen a tree on kz2
Sly @ Jul 17th 2009 2:37PM
there are trees off to the side of the map. they're pretty small though...
j.howlett @ Jul 17th 2009 2:40PM
there's a tree in a big hall at radec academy
Sly @ Jul 17th 2009 2:42PM
do you mean those little plants in the planters? or is there a big tree somewhere that i forgot about?
j.howlett @ Jul 17th 2009 2:46PM
it's not a giant tree and yes it's in a planter. maybe i'm thinking of the one in the market. i've only played the new maps for a few weeks

Killzone 2 DLC is starting to become like Pokemon game names.
Maverick Saturn (Igor) @ Jul 17th 2009 2:35PM
Wouldn't they have to start with the basics though first, like Killzone Orange and Killzone Green?
Sly @ Jul 17th 2009 2:36PM
how so? there are 6, and they're all real words...
Sly @ Jul 17th 2009 2:36PM
oh, you meant versions...
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jul 17th 2009 3:01PM
Gotta kill'em all.
tobz1000 @ Jul 17th 2009 2:33PM
A weapon pickup? In Killzone?!
I'd be very interested to see something like the for the lightning gun... with perhaps the provisions of finite ammo and radar visibility to enemies. Would be interesting.
Sly @ Jul 17th 2009 2:35PM
they would also have to take out the chaining if they put the lightning gun in.
tobz1000 @ Jul 17th 2009 2:51PM
Nah... all part of the fun ;) People can either stay the fuck away until you've used your ammo up, or take you out as quickly as possible.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 17th 2009 3:20PM
the lighting gun would REALLY be crazy to put in....and I'm sure they are working on that some how cause as it is now it really is too powerful....
on the KZ site they showed a video of an exploit they had to fix before putting the boltgun in....it seems people fired bolts into the walls and then used them to climb walls....
I would REALLY love to see them do a 2 vs 20 mode with the Mech Suits....that would be my Ultimate online KZ2 experience....
tobz1000 @ Jul 18th 2009 4:52PM
Or mechs-vs-tanks.
Sly @ Jul 17th 2009 2:34PM
wait, what? the boltgun was in suljeva in the campaign! i guess you have more walls in blood meridian though. and suljeva is pretty open, so the flamethrower would work nice. too bad you can't use them on other maps. the boltgun and the flamethrower would both be AMAZING on the helghan industries map.
Sly @ Jul 17th 2009 2:39PM
wait, did the flamethrower in campaign have that long range? i didn't know that...
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jul 17th 2009 2:58PM
Remember the Flamethrower was fun but it actually sucked in the campaign,the range was mediocre and it was more like pissing fire.
The Boltgun by the other hand oh good times too bad there isn't enough ammo for it.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 17th 2009 3:11PM
yea it did if aimed right
Maverick Saturn (Igor) @ Jul 17th 2009 2:36PM
Consider me there!
Longhorn of Myon [PSN: MariusElijah] @ Jul 17th 2009 2:37PM
Why not release them for all maps, not every DLC needs a gimmick
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jul 17th 2009 2:59PM
I agree there.
Also why we can't we take cover like in the campaign?
saito ps3 @ Jul 17th 2009 2:39PM
that boltgun looks like its gonna be alittle cheap XD
Sly @ Jul 17th 2009 2:41PM
you only get like 20 shots, and it fires pretty slowly.it's balanced pretty nicely actually.
roger @ Jul 17th 2009 2:53PM
I love KZ2 but haven't bought any of the maps since I'm not sure how many people play on them. Those that have them I ask if there are plenty of games near the 32 player limit?
Paul @ Jul 17th 2009 3:13PM
man I check worldwide and in my region and there's barely anyone on them, if I'm lucky I find one game in total but.... it is normally near the limit of players.
and I am on the east coast playing after work! so it's not a area/population thing
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 17th 2009 3:16PM
my gripe is the maps are HEAVILY played on for the first 2-3 weeks after they come out, then they dwindle off....so when I get on I tend to start a server with JUST the DLC maps in them.....Ima get my damn moneys worth out of those shits...
Mr_Ahh @ Jul 17th 2009 3:31PM
guy i play nothing but the DLC my logic is i paid for them i damn sure intend on playing them. If i don't find any games i play something else.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 17th 2009 2:55PM
**drools**
too bad they are map restricted tho....
captainprotonx @ Jul 17th 2009 3:09PM
I'd like a gun that would stick people to walls.
Now that would be a hellova gun.
SaMav @ Jul 17th 2009 3:41PM
Are you being sarcastic? Cuz that's exactly what the 'Boltgun 4400' does.
Check out a Trophy achievement that proves this:
Stick Around - Nail 20 Helghast to the wall - Bronze Trophy
Nail 20 Helghast to a wall using the Boltgun VC-21
Chris @ Jul 17th 2009 3:59PM
check out Painkiller... it pretty much has a same gun but fires much quicker and has more ammo.
Will check this out... although I haven't downloaded the previous map pack yet. Was that one worth it? (The one with retro maps)
Noseybonk @ Jul 17th 2009 4:13PM
Oh god, not a flamethrower.
kentuckyfried @ Jul 17th 2009 4:43PM
Guerilla's really kicking ass when it comes down to expansion packs. I haven't played online at all, but since Feb, there's been like what....3-4 packs now?
arkweld @ Jul 17th 2009 6:21PM
ah how quickly people forget ...
an "expansion pack" used to include new game modes, player skins, vehicles, maps, weapons ...
now thanks to the consoles we have reduced the "expansion pack" to two maps that a casual modder could knock out in a couple of weeks.
kentuckyfried @ Jul 17th 2009 6:24PM
It's not that I forgot, it's that I'm setting my expectations really low for the current DLC model. You can either wait it out in hopes that the price comes down or suck it up and just pay the man...
Exemplar @ Jul 17th 2009 5:24PM
I hope there's more than one weapon spawn point per map...
joe @ Jul 17th 2009 5:52PM
until they properly fix the bullet lag i want nothing to do with this game. i played a few weeks ago and nearly all the time i got bullet lag, it may be my connection but i never used to experience the same problem on any other FPS's such as cod4
Levi @ Jul 17th 2009 6:23PM
Call me when they release single player dlc...
youhavemail @ Jul 17th 2009 6:31PM

"Hey Guyz! Rdy for some MOAR lvls that are made of greenish-tinted sheet metal?! We R 2!"
ximena79 @ Jul 17th 2009 8:04PM
i hope it dosen't get noobish like with the flamethrower, like when those 9 year olds who think there bad asses using the flamethrower in cod5
melocholly @ Jul 19th 2009 6:58AM
Im not 9!
butlersp @ Jul 17th 2009 9:01PM
Single player expansion would be really nice at this point but chances are they may pull a Gears and end up putting the last 3 map packs and a single player level on a $20 disc and have us pay for the maps all over again
