General w/ Scout Badge

I did it! Wednesday night. I've gotten all the badges now I need the secondary badges! This is my favorite badge, but it's fun to use too!

This game is incredible. Tonight can download two new maps for online play!

Killzone DLC

My favorite game is still Killzone 2.  This is an extra special week because new downloadable content is coming to the Playstation Network this Thursday for $5.99. 

After two months I still love this game.  The multiplayer is such an exciting and immersive experience that I forget that I've been playing for two hours straight.  You should see me, I have mic and I'm working with other team members (when they have mics) to achieve our objectives.

The Multiplayer experience is based on a point scale.  The higher the points the higher your rank.  Certain ranks unlock certain abilities (badges).  

• Master Sergeant /Medic Badge - 350 pts.
  
• Lieutenant /Engineer Badge - 800 pts.
  
• Major /Tactician Badge - 1450 pts.
  
• Lieutenant Colonel /Assault Badge - 1850 pts.
  
• Colonel /Saboteur Badge - 2300 pts.

• General /Scout Badge - 2800 pts. (I need 232 pts.)
  

The game isn't over once you get to General.  There are lots of secondary abilities that add soooo much more to the game.  For example, the Engineer can set up turrents throughout the maps and when you get a certain amount of kills per set you can unlock the ability to repair ammo boxes and other turrents throught the game.  

Teamwork is the exciting part for me.  Communicating with your teammates that there's a sniper nearby or that the enemies are coming for the Assassination target and to find cover is just brilliant.  It's the kind of gameplay that blows my mind.  I would never have thought of that when I was 9 and playing my Atari 2600.  I was recruited to be a member of The Outkast Clan.  I haven't played yet, but looking forward to some team matches.

So Thursday is like Christmas for me and only for $5.99.  When you factor in how much I've enjoyed this game and the time I've spent and saved on restaurants, I've actually saved money in the long run.  Below is a video of the two maps that are coming to Killzone 2.
