Guerrilla has revealed the second downloadable map pack for Killzone 3, Steel Rain. The pack contains two new multiplayer maps, Junkyard and Stahl Arms.
Junkyard is designed for 16-player Guerrilla Warfare, while Stahl Arms is a large map dedicated to 24-player Warzone matches. Both levels were featured heavily in the single-player, so expect the maps to be repurposed versions of those, as is Guerrilla's MO.
No date and price just yet. I'll be buying them just as soon as DualShock and Move users get separate servers. Until then, no dice.

And hey! That's $3 a map!
Yeah it will probably be 5.99. However the first map pack is 4.99. Here's to wishful thinking they will shave off a dollar. Im planning on picking up this map pack and the first one too. Im lovin KZ3 right now its just awesome.
Also, hopefully some of you can answer this for me. If you pre-orderd KZ3 were you suppose to get those retro maps as a pre-order bonus. I got mine from EB games in Canada. I thought that was the deal? Anyone know?
Done that a few times for some Canadian friends.

Your probably right and I agree it doesn't make much sense. But whats weird is I got the pre order bonus for Ghost of Sparta. Whats also weird about that is they are both published/ developed by Sony.
"Didn't the game come out Tuesday? Doesn't that suggest that these could have been on the final game, but removed?"
That's a shock...
The same thing will be true when the Defiant Map Pack comes out. Why should I be forced to pay for maps I have no intention of using?
Otherwise how the hell do you even know?
Haven't touched MP yet.
Why do you want separate servers? Who has an advantage?
What did we miss out on? I bought the Helghast edition!
I tried the Move and died 3 times in a row without a single kill. Switched back to dualshock and hit a 5 kill streak.
It depends on where you preordered it from. I had a limited pre-ordered at EB Games, but I ended up buying it from best buy, as they were giving $10 coupons with every pre-order. I actually still went in and picked up a copy from EB, and got my voucer. I'm going to return the copy to EB, and have both the $10 coupon, and the map pack voucher.
It's a lot of runnin around, but for a free map pack, and $10 off whatever else I buy next, twas worth it. I'm in Vancouver, BC by the way.
So, you probably shoulda gotten the map pack voucher from your EB too, if you pre-ordered.
Separate servers? Who has the advantage playing , dual or move ?
Yeah man do tell whats the deal with move?
How can you tell their a move user?
GG please put a third map on this bundle, a map for Operations mode, and please don't announce a new map pack 3 days after you release this one (whenever it is)
Wat?
As for a second map pack? Why not, it's a sensible move and frankly shows them supporting the game into the foreseeable future. They haven't given us a date yet so why assume it is ready now? If it was they'd already have released it. More likely is that they know what they're doing for the next set of DLC and that it's coming in the future so we have something to look forward to.
At $3 a map we're not getting any short sticks. That's a reasonably good deal compared to what other people pay for maps. And while you may prefer one game type over another they're supporting two of the major game types and frankly, I would imagine are doing work/will be doing work on more operations maps in the future.
Guerilla is a studio that puts out solid games with an awesome story, who have listened extensively to their fanbases and done what they could to make the best game they can. I think they have absolutely succeeded and will stand by them from now until they stop doing what they're doing. Guerilla is hands down my favorite dev for what they've done.
also, heard theyre gonna go back to customizable multiplayer rooms, that was my fav part of killzone 2
And with PS move, it's sooooo easy to check if someone is deguised or not ! ( you just have to point him to see ).
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE gun game with PS Move, i always prefer Mouse and keyboard over DS3 and gamepad.
And PS move is reallllly close to Mouse control !!! They oooooooooonly need to find a ways to turn more easier.
But aim and shot is SO GOOOOOD with the PS Move !!! It has Rumble and it so, it's remind me Time Crisis at the arcade ( the rumble is pretty strong )
And online, i think PS Move clearly have a edge.
Because of :
1- faster aim and shoot reaction
2- easy spotting inflitrate enemy ( due to fast aiming and a bigger aim reticule
bad thing for PS move only :
1- Hard to turn QUICKLY ( it's easy to turn normally )
2- Hard to melee ( due to having to stab imaginary people xD its mess up your aim )
So that's my analist of PS move
Killzone requires a bit of skill to play well, so i can understand why u would want to play socom, which is mostly scrubs with no skill that kick ppl with MORE skill lol. Killzone doesnt need u in it to be an amazing online experience.
try to make a "bot" game and just test your calibration a lot.
Maybe hight sensitivity make your aim move ? Or you camera move alone to a side xD ( due to heavy cord of the webcam xD )
Omg, im now in a level where you are in the big mechwarriorish machine AND DAMN IT'S GOOD WITH THE MOVE !!! xD
damn a mechwarrior game for ps move would rock SO HARDDDDDDD. Because big robot dont turn fast anyways! lol
I will buy the DLC maps with this robot for SURE
What is official word from guerrilla?
"That it snaps your aim onto people in mp through walls and objects, right up until they come into your line of view, anyone else starting to feel a little guilty?"
http://tinyurl.com/4uncgpm
Yeah, it's more unfair with that. But i dont know if it's really in MP ( because i didnt try it lol )
Welcome to the video-game industry. Maybe you should stop buying games altogether.
On topic: Killzone 2 sucked(it was my first PS3 game, I should know) so KZ3 must as well, more/better/shinier pile of shit, is still a pile of shit! :3
SOCOM players have no skill!!!! Seriously?
I just started playing KZ with KZ3. It is a fun game, but it is not much different than the COD tards that run around racking up 30-40 deaths a game. No one cares if you got 50 kills if there are 30 deaths along with it.
SOCOM takes skill b/c at the end of a round in SOCOM, you have a 1 or a 0 in the death column. That is why so many people can't or won't play it. You have to actually think and work as a team.
In KZ3 there are only a few people in each game that even use mics let alone the thought of strategic team play.
