chiar asa, nici eu nu am vazut nici un filmuletz cu iarba sau copaci.

Pana acum nu am intalnit peisaje de genul carora la care va ganditi voi. Dar credeti-ma ca nu e nevoie de poienite cu floricele si albinute!:evil: Universul Killzone e perfect!

Deci vreau si eu sa achizitionez Killzone 2 si m-am gandit sa va intreb care ar fi de preferat? zona 1 sau zona 2? intreb pt ca sunt sigur ca acest joc va avea DLC si din cate am inteles pe nu stiu care zona nu se poate cumpara DLC cu cardurile din Romania. Daca are cineva rabdare (pls) sa imi trimita un PM in care sa imi explice si mie cum e cu chestiile astea. Mentionez ca am cont de PSN pe UK si card de la ING. Multumesc

Zona 1 FTW! Iti trebuie si cont pe US si te-ai scos.

Deci sa inteleg ca daca am cont pe UK si killzone 2 zona 2 nu o sa pot cumpara cu card de Romania viitoarele DLC-uri de pe PSN Store, nu?

Nu merge de pe UK. Poti sa incerci eventual cu niste pre-paid cards, dar si ele trebuie sa fie zona 2!

M-am uitat pe net dar am gasit doar prepaid-uri pt US:(, dar daca imi fac un cont de US si downloadez DLC pt killzone zona 1 dupa aia le pot juca pe contul de UK?

Inca nu l-am terminat deoarece joc cam in genul unei babute de 80 de ani care merge sa isi faca cumparaturile la piata :). Am aproximativ 7 ore de gameplay si la "singleplayer statistics" imi confirma 45% progres in campanie.

PlayStation Only | Videos | Killzone 2 | Interview with subtitles - new interview

Infantry Class

Your very basic class, there is seemingly nothing very special about this class. After all what's the point in having it? You have no primary or secondary abilities, it's just a worthless soldier. You would be oh so wrong in thinking that. When you first start in the game it will be the only class available to you until you unlock others. While it may not have the same advantages as some other classes, what it does have however is a much larger weapons library. Most of the other classes are restricted to use with one weapon, the Infantry class has nearly every weapon available to them (when fully unlocked). Your first match you will be able to use the ISA assault rifle or the HGH Assault Rifle, both are extremely good but do have their differences. As you may have noticed in the videos the ISA Assault Rifle has red dot (or green dot depending on how you look at it) sight. This allows you to be fairly accurate from medium to long ranges. Shooting from the hip you'll find it's really only good up close and somewhat good at a medium distance if your shooting (this should also apply for the single player campaign). As you continue to play you�ll be unlocking more weapons such as the shotgun and the SMG. However there are a few weapons that are exclusive to specific classes, like the sniper rifle.

As the soldier your pretty much the grunt of the battle. Your best serving your team as support and racking up kills. While you will eventually find what your favourite weapons are, these are not the most important thing to win. Like any tactical game your going to need great team communication. This is where the squad system of multiplayer comes in. Your able to within the team break into little five four man squads and each have the one leader, with a total of 6 squads per team. If you end up joining a squad you need to learn how to play together well. Cover each others backs and let them know when your in trouble or where they need to go. Back to the Infantry class though, when is it best to use this class? For most people when they start ranking up you�ll find a class that fits your play style best. As others also rank up, use of the Infantry class will most likely become increasingly rare. But you still have certain advantages over other classes. For one, you have a much larger weapon arsenal to your disposal. This can be really useful for when you need to quickly choose a weapon best suited for the job at hand. Another advantage you will have is that you won�t be as focused on specific tasks. For instance, the tactition should be focused on getting the team into good locations through spawn placements and that�s their main objective. As a grunt you will be in the main action for a large part of any round. While all the other classes are focused on their duties you�ll be carrying out the mission objectives (not to say that other classes won�t be doing the same).

Medic Class

The Medic class was easily one of the most hated and loved class during the beta. You may have seen a few examples in a few videos why people would get frustrated. I suppose it wasn�t the class itself but the players *ahem* n00bs *ahem* who used it.

The Medic class starts out with a primary ability. This lets you revive injured teammates. To indicate where downed friends are, there are little markers indicating the direction of each player. However, the best way for a player to get revived and the most helpful for a medic is to communicate that you need a revival. Once you get to a downed player you need to make active your �Defibrillator�. Firing the Defibrillator will revive your fallen comrade but it will also finish off a down enemy (on occasion you may get a kill). With each revival the medic also earns a point but far what is more important you have helped a teammate get back into the battle. The medic class also has a secondary ability where you can pass out health packs. These are useful in the middle of defending an objective and you may heal yourself.

So now you know the basics of what exactly a Medic can do. Now how can you as Medic best serve your team? The biggest problem we had during the beta was that people just were not smart when using the Medic class. Getting one point for each revival can rack up to a good amount of points and this is where the abuse comes in. I�ve said it before, the class system in Killzone 2 is really more about how you can best serve your team and not just yourself. So thinking from that aspect you need to be careful and smart about who you revive. When you see a downed player there are a few things you should consider before coming to their rescue. Have they said they don�t want help? Obviously if they are saying; �Medic! Don�t revive me!� don�t revive them. Now you need to assess the situation. Are you in the middle of a hot zone where upon revival your teammate may not last very long after coming back? If so don�t revive him as your only adding to his death count and helping the other team out. Now if it doesn�t seem like their are enemies around or once your teammate is revived he can find cover, go for it. Another thing to watch for is to make sure that there is not an enemy camping around the corner waiting for your buddy to be revived. That always pissed me off when a Medic did this as I watched the enemy watching me while I was getting up. A medic is most useful in the Assassination game mode. If a player on your team is the target you must have at least one medic nearby so that they can easily provide health or revive the VIP target. It�s only common sense really. Medics are also good in keeping a good defence. If your team is trying to take a particular objective you will help tremendously if you can keep each defender in the fight for as long as possible.

Health packs are extremely useful to your team but they will not give you extra points. Your best to throw them out to someone who is asking for it, or if you are travelling with your squad just make sure your keeping their health in check. A good thing about the squad system is that you can find out exactly how much health each of your teammates have so you can better assist them. Snipers are also people you should give health packs to, if you see a sniper just drop a health pack near him or her so that if need be it will automatically get picked up. That about wraps it up for this week�s update. As for next week I�ll be introducing the Engineer with all its turret glory. Killzone is only a few weeks away!

Engineer Class

The Engineer, probably the second most powerful class in Killzone 2 (Assault being the most). As an Engineer you have the ability to set up automated turrets nearly anywhere you want and you can later unlock the ability to repair/destroy. Coming off of the heals of Medic, your going to play a drastically different game as the Engineer. Your starting weapon and the only weapon available to you is the shotgun. The shotgun has a maximum of 8 rounds per clip and a decent starting amount of ammo. It�s perfect for getting in people�s faces. Up close the shotgun is essentially a one hit kill and the farther from the target the less accurate and damaging you will be. This being because the shot gun fires out tiny pellets that as the farther away you are the more they spread. So you really want a narrow spread to be most effective.

An Engineers primary ability is to set up an automated turret. These turrets basically fire at any foe within the line of sight and a certain proximity (it won�t shoot an enemy from across the map). Each team is allowed a maximum of four turrets each. So say you spawn and there are only two Engineers including yourself. If the other Engineer builds one turret that then only leaves your team with three turrets until that one is destroyed or self destructs. Turrets don�t really do much damage to a player and are not exactly the quickest to notice an enemy. If a player is paying attention they can easily escape death by turret.

This is where effective placement comes in. Your turret will do no good if it�s sitting in an open area with the enemy behind and in front of it. Best placement of the turret would be in a higher up above the height of a player. This makes it much more likely that your turret will land a headshot. Good places to look for are areas of high traffic. If the enemy if constantly coming down a certain hallway then it�s best to find a hidden and spot to place your turret. So say the enemy is running through the door, place it right in the corner so they don�t notice as they run past. You may not get many kills but they really repel the enemy when trying to defend.

Your secondary ability is the repair tool. As an Engineer your map shows you the locations of things you can repair (a little wrench sign). When you approach an ammo pile, gun emplacement, or an automated turret, you just whip out your Repair tool and go to work. Essentially all you do is just press R1 and a progress bar will show up. For each repair you get a point and it also goes towards some ribbons. The Repair tool is fairly hard to get due to how hard it is to get the required kills with turrets. Although if you do get the repair tool, your team will love the ammo stashes. Not only can you create ammo piles but you can create gun emplacements which are great for defending, and you can repair auto turrets. Most people during the beta didn�t make use of this unfortunately, so if you have good turret placement just go around and repair your teams turrets. Along with repairing you can destroy enemy piles , etc. Quick word of advice though, the auto turrets blow up and kill you. I was victim to this several times, so just damage it until it�s nearly dead then then run away and shoot it.

Tactician Class

The Tactician. The images portray the Tactician as a leader and communicator. Very true in both respects, but it�s up to the player really. The Tactician as far as weapons is exactly the same as the Medic. You have the ability to spawn with either the ISA or Helghast Assault rifles. Now as far as abilities go, there is your primary and secondary (typical to nearly all the classes). When you first play as the Tactician you primary ability is to throw out spawn grenades. This works much like the turrets do for the Engineer as you have a limited supply per team. A single team can have only two spawn grenades thrown out at a time. When you throw a spawn grenade it bellows out some green smoke and then that�s when the team can spawn on them. On your radar you can see that their is a spawn placement near you by there being a circle on the map. A foe�s spawn grenade is red. Your secondary ability once unlocked is to call in air support. This comes in the form of throwing out a beacon (like the spawn grenade) which within the minute a Sentry Bot will fly in. These behave much like the Engineer�s turret only they move around and don�t fire quite as fast. They will not leave the immediate area of the beacon so you need to be strategic about the placement.

During the beta there was a problem where whenever there was an enemy spawn, people would camp the players as they spawn. It was frustrating yes, but was it cheap? Not in my views. I blame the Tacticians of the opposing team for this. Your not going to help your team any if you just randomly throw a spawn wherever you feel like it. If you feel like just throwing it out in the open, your fault if an enemy sniper decides to camp it. Throwing spawn grenades involves lots of strategy and understanding where the need is. As a Tactician your job is to get a constant flow of players for the objective. Say your defending in Search and Destroy. Your job as the Tactician is to place the spawn grenade close by but not where teammates will be killed on spawn. So what is smart spawn placement. When placing a spawn, make sure that there is plenty of quick cover near by. Also, placing it behind a wall is a good idea sometimes so that it blocks the view of snipers and campers. Really the best thing is to assess and ask: �How accessible is this to the enemy?�, �Is there good defensive positions?�, �Will this get my friends to where they want to be?�. If you concentrate on those questions your good to go.

Sentry Bot�s are super hard to rack up kills with. Hardly any beta testers were able to get the badge for it because they were so hard. However I can give a few tips of my own. Personally I never used the sentry bots as a way to rack up kills. They are better for repelling I�ve found. They do some damage and enemies typically will go find a different route if their is a sentry in the area. Also the bots tend to work better if they are in a confined space. For instance if there is an area where there is a small open area but hard to get out of in a hurry that might be a good spot to call one in. Finally, this is kind of obvious but they can be very effective if you use them to defend in Search and Destroy, Capture and Hold, and sometimes Assassination. If you end up getting the badge, the sentry might make a good combo with the Sniper class to protect oneself. It all depends on the map really for how effective a sentry will be. Finally I�d like to say that if your Tactician, you need to lead the charge for your team and really coordinating where your team should be and whatnot.

Assault Class

During the beta the Assault class caused a lot of controversy as you may have heard from other testers. Basically the problem was that players would be completely unfair in how they play with it and basically abused the entire thing. Now this was during the beta so it was expected to have some balancing issues and I think they will have been fixed for the most part. Now to be more specific the main problem was that people would pick the class, spawn with a rocket launcher, run into the enemy base and kill a good amount of people. It�s considered a cheap tactic and there were a few notorious players that did this. Eventually people got so frustrated that they too started doing the same thing. Games just got out of control and were not very fun. My first piece of advice is to play fair. Don�t pick the Assault class for the sake of earning points but rather being a strategic slayer.

The Assault class has three weapons to choose from. The first being the grenade launcher, it shoots out some lower powered grenades at a fairly fast rate (it�s much like the one in Killzone 1). Not very effective for racking up kills but it�s very effective for pushing the enemy back. Say you want them to funnel into a certain area or push them out of an area your team needs control of. The other weapons are two variations of the rocket launcher. The first one is lighter but less accurate at long distances. This is the weapon of choice for the rocket **bleep**s. However you can use it without being cheap, just don�t make it your primary way to get kills and you should be fine. The second rocket launcher is noticeably heavier on your character. This rocket launcher also features a �digital� scope that lets you lock a rocket onto turrets. The �primary� ability is that you have 50% more damage (subject to change in final release). So you can soak up quite a bit of damage.

Now the main point of interest in for the Assault class is the boost pill. This basically give you a temporary boost in speed along with health regeneration. It�s quite effective for getting through the enemy lines without them being able to stop you first. While it is somewhat useful for the Assault class, the real magic is when you unlock the ability to use it with other classes. The boost pill is probably one of the most useful secondary abilities and goes great with any of the classes. Personally I used this in nearly all the objective gametypes. With Search and Retrieve you can use it to pick up the speaker and boost your way past the enemies to score a capture. In Capture and Hold you can quickly get to territories being taken over and finally Search and Destroy lets you rush them with a fast planting of the bomb. As my final wrap up for the Assault class I�ll only say that you should play with integrity. Don�t be cheap with it no matter what as you will only damage your reputation (like T-e-X). Be strategic with using it and use the pill as much as you want.

Saboteur Class

Mmmm.. the Saboteur! This I can see as being a problem for new players who are just beginning the game and have no outside knowledge of it. During the beta when people had unlocked the class you could here the newbies screaming over the mics �OMG he�s hacking!!!� whenever they got killed by a Saboteur. I will admit that when you first start playing and others have it unlocked you will feel that it�s incredibly unfair and will get very frustrated. Essentially the Saboteur focuses more on it�s primary ability rather than weapons and the other abilities. The primary ability when activated lets you disguise yourself as the enemy, your secondary gives you 3 packs of proximity activated C4 to toss onto things, and your primary weapon set is either the SMG or the Sta-14.

So I�ll start off with the primary ability since it�s the most important part of the class. So basically it works a bit like the Pill for the Assault class. Once you activate it the disguise goes into effect. Your disguise makes you look like any player on the other team. You look exactly the same and you even have the same name as one of the player. To clarify, your teammates will not see you as disguised, you look the same as any other Saboteur. Your disguise does not have a time limit so you could potentially run through an entire game with the disguise. Now the only way to lose your disguise is to fire your weapon or be shot. Your secondary ability gives you 3 packs of C4 your can throw onto anything. They are proximity activated and generally two (again this is the Beta) placed together will kill an enemy (except for the armoured Assault). The C4 after it explodes automatically becomes available again for you to use. There is no limit, unlike the Tactician and Engineer. Then there are your weapons, you have the choice between two very different weapons, the StA-14 or the SMG. The SMG is really good for up close encounters. The StA-14 is quite simply... BEAST. The thing is incredibly accurate, powerful and has a relatively fast fire rate. You could compare it to being a hybrid of an assault rifle, sniper and a shot gun.

How is one to recognize a disguised Saboteur? The first thing to do is check your radar, if the �friendly� in front of you does not show up as a green dot then they are not your friend. Sometimes when a Saboteur runs past your line of view they sort of �flicker� and you can see past the disguise. When your up close to a Saboteur your crosshairs turn red and you don�t see the disguise. By then though, chances are your dead. Another effective way is if your suspicious of someone, watch their actions. Are they travelling with enemies and yet not firing at them? Are you protecting your Assassination target and all of a sudden you see a �teammate� running towards your target (true story)? These tips can also be applied in the opposite way. Don�t travel with your team when disguised, try to act like your a friendly and then flank them. The majority of Saboteur strategy is just to get through enemy lines unnoticed and then nailing them from behind (http://boardsus.playstation.com/i/sm...ndifferent.gif your gross, get your mind out of the gutter).

That�s really all there is to the Saboteur, just use the disguise to sneak in behind the enemy. Your best weapon will be the StA-14 with it�s high power, accuracy and fire rate. The Saboteur is especially effective in the Assassination and Search and Destroy objectives.To end this post I�ll give you a tip if you want a good laugh with the Saboteur. During the beta my favourite past time was to essentially get behind groups of 2-3 enemies and without them noticing throw C4 onto their backs. Yes, you can throw C4 onto players and it will stick (Beta). Run away, count to 3 and BOOM! You have more points and grin on your face.

Scout Class

2800 points and this is class is yours to use. During the beta it�s what I aimed to achieve during every phase. I�m sure this will be the same with all of you. Just so you all know that once you reach Scout you may or may not be very impressed. Getting to General is not the best thing about the ranking though. So just keep that in mind. Now, to start I�ll give a brief explanation of everything this class entails. Your primary ability is as many of you know the ability to cloak yourself. The secondary is called �Spot and Mark� (more later). Your only primary weapon available to you is the VC32 Sniper rifle.

The Cloaking ability is probably the most used out of all the classes. As a sniper you will have it on the majority of the time. So cloaking works a lot like the disguise does for the Saboteur. Once activated your screen will have a blue tinge to it, indicating that your now invisible. So your cloaking lasts potentially forever, but if it�s lasting forever your a crap sniper. Your cloaking only lasts until you shoot a body. It does not have to be a kill, if you accidentally shoot a dead body you will lose your cloaking. Not to worry though, cloaking comes back relatively fast (about 30 seconds). Another thing to note are some other effects on your cloaking. When you move (even the slightest), your cloak will slowly disappear. Once you move back though your invisible again. Also shooting the weapon, whether it hits a body or not, will make you momentarily visible. So be wise about when you take your shots. The secondary ability is �Spot and Mark� (SM), it�s relatively simple. When you activate it, you will see a line scan down your screen. Any enemy in your field of view (including a disguised Saboteur but not a cloaked Scout EDIT: Apparently even cloaked scouts are marked). This will place an icon on them and will follow them wherever they go until you die or they die. Your team will see those enemies show up on their radar (no icon on them though).

Your primary weapon of course is the sniper rifle. When you start out as the sniper your scope will only do 5x magnification. You can unlock the next step up by obtaining the badge. You can obtain this badge by getting the ribbons, and you get the ribbons by getting 10 headshots with the sniper per round. The sniper itself is very powerful, a single shot will down every enemy except the armoured assault class (2 shots). An interesting concept that GG has introduced has to do with keeping the sniper steady. Your scope does not stay steady, you have to keep it steady. Using the SIXAXIS motion you need to keep your hands still. You cannot disable this as it would create an unfair advantage. However you do not need to worry about the controller needing to be in a specific position. The game resets the default position every time you scope in.

What about some strategies? Typically you don�t want to be running around. Find a spot, get a few kills and move on. With the maps you will want to find a position that will give you a good view and not so much cover, cloaking takes care of that. Some good spots are camping objectives and a tactician spawn grenade. Spawn grenades go into a gamers ethics but my view is that if a Tactician can�t be bothered to think before they throw a spawn the entire team will suffer. Camping objectives will really help your team. On Saluman Market there are windows over looking the Search and Destroy areas. It�s an ideal spot to either defend or help out with offence. Basically you want to look for places where you can hold the enemy off. The Scout isn�t really an offence type of class but more for support. That�s about it really, some of you regular snipers in other games may not find you like it, but others who are not normally snipers might find they like this class.
