Killzone 2 DLC "Flash and Thunder" Priced and Dated: June 11th
Posted May 20, 2009 by Jereme Puik

Killzone 2 will see itself getting some downloadable content for those still playing the game since its February release.The DLC pack entitled "Flash and Thunder" will be going retro by going back into the original Killzone and bringing back some old favorites. Gotta love nostalgia. The two levels are Beach Head and Southern Hills maps. The maps have been re-envisioned on the Killzone 2 engine and ready for multiplayer action. Both levels apparently will over a unique twist, so be on the look out.

In the Beach Head map, the ISA must defend their stronghold after the Helghast land on the sandy Vektan beaches. As torrential rain and gale-force winds batter the landscape, the relatively small size of the level creates a frantic hand-to-hand battleground, with the water filled craters supplying only limited cover. Picking your way across the harsh terrain, you will find many opportunities to sneak up on the enemy and take them down at close range. And if you’re able to get to them in one piece, there are also lots of higher ground sniper spots to explore… 

In the Southern Hills map, the battle takes place around a central Helghast base on top of a hill. The compound is surrounded by smaller structures, creating a level that facilitates close-quarter fights within the built-up areas, as well as long-range shoot-outs in-between them. Ideal for 24 to 32 player games, the base camps in this version have been beefed up considerably, so expect to find more hiding places than in the original Killzone counterpart.

The two maps are priced at $5.99 and will be made available June 11th.
