"Second downloadable Killzone2 Map Pack announced

Fight your way down memory lane with the Flash and Thunder Pack: two original Killzone maps remade for PLAYSTATION3 (PS3)

London, 20th May 2009: The next wave of downloadable content for Killzone2 on PLAYSTATION3 (PS3) has now been announced. Prepare for a literal blast-from-the-past in the form of the Flash and Thunder Pack: a download from PlayStationStore featuring the Beach Head and Southern Hills maps. They’re two of the best maps from the original Killzone for PlayStation2 – now completely remade for PS3, overflowing with brutal combat between the ISA and the merciless Helghast and offering gamers even more ways to play the first-person shooter that everyone’s talking about.

The Beach Head map sees the ISA tasked with defending a coastal stronghold against a Helghast landing force. This rain-lashed and windswept battlefield is limited in size – which means more action, more hand-to-hand combat, plenty of sneaking up on the enemy and melee kills galore. The Southern Hills map sees the ISA attempting to storm a Helghast compound on top of a hill. A mixture of built-up terrain and wide open spaces – perfect for headshot sniper kills – this map is full of hiding places and offers the perfect battlefield for a large-scale game with lots of players.The Flash and Thunder Pack is the second awesome instalment of downloadable extra content for Killzone 2 on PS3 and will arrive in PlayStationStore on (11th of June 2009). To find out more, please contact your local PR manager."

I hope that the whole nuke going off is a part of the gameplay to cause it will force people to go inside and fight instead of snipers just staying outside all the time

I think they are cruisers taking off or landing, they can kill you if you are in the danger zone too. Looks fun!

so whos getting it tomorrow?

While I definitely plan on owning them, it might not be tomorrow. I have to buy a PSN card from Target since my PS3 wont take my credit card.
