Recommended Videos

This morning it was suggested that new Killzone 2 DLC was on the way, bringing new maps and guns to the multiplayer table. Now Guerrilla, by way of the PlayStation Blog, has confirmed it. The third map pack has been christened “Napalm & Cordite” and allows players to wield the flamethrower and boltgun. Sweet.

As well as the DLC, another patch is coming as well. This includes a few tasty new updates, such as higher Bodycount values, double-point events, and a handful of exploit fixes. Looks like a pretty good update, and you can view the full details after the jump. 

Enjoy the screenshots of the brand new maps, about which there will be more information next week.
