I'm at that part on elite now so I may give it a go.

On the left side there is a chair. If you head there with a missile launcher or RPG, you can hide behind the barrier of crap and then quickly jump up on the chair so you are looking over the barrier, fire accurately at the Helghast from close range, then jump back down and hide. I found it was the best way to deal not only with the Helghast firing rockets near the end of the level but also the initial waves of troops (remembering to keep enough RPGs for the former). As long as you keep your back in the corner when hiding of course, so you don't get surprised by a Helghast coming up the stairs or along the balcony.

What do you mean by "the old chair" in your other post? Cort on "Killzone 2" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=76&page=2#post-1542 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:33:29 +0000 Cort 1542@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ BTW, KZ2 trophies: Complete final level = Silver Complete all levels = Silver Complete all levels without dying = Silver Are you f***ing kidding me, GG? Shouldn't that be Bronze, Silver and Gold respectively? Cort on "Killzone 2" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=76&page=2#post-1541 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:32:55 +0000 Cort 1541@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ I'd say there was. Many people haven't worked out that it's easier if you don't give him the opportunity to spawn behind you - you'll be amazed how many people I have told this and how 99% have said "Ah, of course!". But if you've already done it, there's nothing I can't tell you (unless you haven't used the old chair....? - the other trick). I wouldn't even attempt it on Elite myself. Had enough trouble on easy.......

Cort on "Killzone 2" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=76&page=2#post-1539 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:16:33 +0000 Cort 1539@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ ********** SPOILER ********** Psychotext - I presume you mean Radec. If you mean the waves of Helghast, let me know. The trick to beating Radec is to immediately run and find the best weapon you can (for me it's the M82, racked up on that stuff at the back of the room opposite where you come in - but others say the shotgun is useful here, too) and spend 15-20 seconds or so getting in some good, accurate shots (you will already know to keep moving and turning, watching for the blue flash). Don't spend too long doing this; if you have got good shots in he should back off very slightly: rapidly take the stairs and head up to the balcony, run as fast as you can to the corner (above where you came in, near the racks of guns) and put your back to the wall so he cannot spawn behind you and he will start spawning a few feet away at left, right, left, right, etc etc, over and over again. Just keep turning left and right to face him, putting accurate bursts of rounds into him and eventually you'll damage him enough to force him to spawn to the far balcony which you cannot reach (where the waves of Helghast came from). Get to the sniper rifle immediately - if I remember correctly he'll start taking pot-shots at you - and get a direct hit as soon as you can. Fortunately for me, my first sniper rifle shot hit him square in the body. I don't think I've ever picked up a gun, aimed and fired and hit a target so quickly in my entire gaming life! It was about 0400 and I jumped up and down, whooping and waking the Mrs upstairs. Did it in 22m 30s (infuriatingly missing the trophy, given I had spent five of those minutes playing about with tactics) and dare not try again for a few weeks...... ********** SPOILER ********** Plainview on "Killzone 2" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=76&page=2#post-1471 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:31:13 +0000 Plainview 1471@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ I'm really liking the MP..

When I was speed running it on Easy I thought that fight was still tricky.

FUCK ME this is hard. This is like 100 times harder than the rest of the game. In fact, given that I am on the easiest setting (I'm quite new to FPS), this is TOO hard. Just about to start attempt 30-odd...........

But even then, you think thats hard, just wait till you take on Radec himself.

I've died a hundred times trying to get to him. Anyone know how many waves of Helghast turn up? Is it infinite or a set number?

That said, the game is obviously not about the story (what little there is of it).

For me, better than CoD4. Oh, and some of the Helghast dialogue is very tongue in cheek - it's not too serious at all. But visceral in places. And it looks phenon...phinomnon...phinonim...it looks AWESOME. g00nerz on "Killzone 2" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=76#post-1212 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 10:03:19 +0000 g00nerz 1212@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Yeah I didn't really appreciate that whole "we've upgraded you to steel box version" thing shopto did. I had to cancel my order and re-order again, so a bit more painful than it should have been, but on the whole I'm happy I got it a few days early. Although that said they didn't take the £1 discount voucher code I had on my account off so a little peeved at that. The game is great so far. Played a bit of online and didn't experience any lag on my connection (which is a crappy 512kb line). Interesting that instead of having an empty server (due to not many having the game yet), the server places Bots in the game instead to fill it. I'm actually getting some kills for once as the bots are a little dumb. All goes towards my ranking though so I don't mind. Until the hardcore get online and I go back to being annihilated every few steps...

GameStop: Nope Game: The bastards were displaying in glass cases (with Halo Wars admittingly) but no dice. HMV: The closest of the lot. Went in, boy checked the computer, seen it there and he was actually ready to go and get it (even though I was checking) till he seen Friday was the release date on the computer. Still, 24 hours to go :( Hunam on "Killzone 2" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=76#post-1194 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:09:40 +0000 Hunam 1194@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ I didn't get the steelbook either, didn't really see the point tbh.
