Well, especially, I don't own the game (because I don't own - yet - a PS3), but it's already available in some countries and afaik, the game is kickass. However i heard about the solo part is short (you can finish it in 7 hours), so I think a speedrun would be great to watch (and the game is so *µ£$%ù! beautiful so it would be a double pleasure for the eyes).

And also the topic wasn't created, so here it is.

OMG, 130 views and not a single post. On a game that was hyped so much. Shocked

By the way I played it a little bit in a store, and the game is great but the controls are weird, Sev is quite slow and aiming precisely is hard. It's very different from the first Killzone. And many parts of the game are scripted, so unless a way to skip them is found, some parts would be long.

When I first commpleted the game the Time was stopt at 5:20 so I hope you can got under 4hours.
One Question to the Individual Level The Game splits the Level in littel parts with autosave and shows for each step the fastest time so you doing a run from this small levels or the full level?

btw: Some time woud be great to show your progress

You can change the controls to Call of Duty controls, by the way.

Mass Effect 2 can go suck balls.

I don't own this game but I have played it rather extensively at a friends house and I can say that if you can manage to get through fast not dieing will be a huge concern.

Yea I never tried that but I'm gonna go over there tomorrow and check it out so maybe it'll work out a bit better cause it did have a very confusing control scheme I always felt like I was fighting it.

Is 1:45 the lowest possible time on the first segment of mission one? I got it in my first try and had no luck getting even a second off on other attempts. I'm now working on the second segment.

deffinitly not I got it in my second tray after I see this topic and just wanted to give the runner some times to compare with so I think 3 sec or more coude be taken of.
btw good luck

I think it is timed..Like you have to wait for 2 conversations to end so it will always end up being 1:45 unless you purposely take too long. Unless I can find a way to make the conversations end quick I think 1:45 is the max..smoother running doesn't matter because you have to wait for the doors to open anyway.

Mabey but I think it matters how fast your comrad is going.
Mabey theres a way to manupulate him or somthing like that when I got may Killzone 2 CD back I will traying a few things
The cool thing about IL runs is that you can do the Levels in the order you like it so you can alredy start with level 2 :-)

Yeah like you can do any segment you like and just record and mix it all together. BTW with the heavy in the second level..is it worth killing him?? Or can you risk not killing him and going straight for the valve. I can kill him in seconds on easy mode..I just throw a nade and when he turns around I unload on his tank. But maybe just stunning him and going for the valve is better. With the final part of that mission..the one with the arc tower..that part is really hard..I think only 2 guys need to be killed. What is the fastest way to take out the generators?
Edit: I got under 40 seconds onthe heavy segment with some sloppy motion control work..going to see how low I can push it.

I just got Killzone 2 and I want to make a run. Would anyone like to share tips/tricks/routes?

Run past everything and abuse the IL system. I got sub 2 hours counting all my level times and will try to put together a youtube run since I don't think my methods would be accepted by SDA.

You can ask the admins if your method is acceptable.
Remeber that you can always put your run in its own category.

I will put up a video of the second level ""Blood Meridan" in sub 3 minutes or close to it with editing etc. The timer works like this..there are like invisible lines where the game loads the next part, when you run past a icon flashes on the screen. The game splits the levels into sections starting at these lines...and each section has its own timer. The level "Blood Meridan" has 8 sections I think.. I use restart section and keep running the sections in no order to get the lowest time per section. Then the game adds it up in the level select screen and that is the time I play for. My time is a bit under 1:50 now overall..and I still have improvements to make. It would be hard to verify what the time of a run actually is..because you can only see the time at the level select screen. So it may have to be manually timed or something.

I decided to play some KZ2 tonight and got 1:42 on the second part of the first level/chapter, where you're at the beach (Easy difficulty). Not sure how good it is since I've got nothing to compare it to except for a pretty slow run of the demo. I guess sub 1:40 would be really good with my strategy.

has there been a Killzone 2 run submitted to SDA yet? this game caught my eye for a while but I never did anything. I'm thinking of exploiting the knife weapon which kills regular helghast in 1 - 2 slices instead of putting how many bullets it take to take them down. I'm sure its been done but just to make sure and maybe revive the thread as well. I'll probably give it a try.

doing some routing this week, found some risky strats with the knife. the knife or melee more OP than shooting Helghast for most parts :P. knife attacks are faster than melee with weapons.
edit: you can skip most of the fighting just by reaching checkpoints and survive loads of shots you take from behind. other times you have too many Helghast that block you way and you can't run by without getting killed so the solution is to throw a grenade and make them disperse to safety .
*edit: these are the times I got, not a great run but shows how fast you might get on a good one

rough run on Corinth River. you can skip about the Helghast you encounter. except those missions you need to clear the area. the last objective I stay close to the 1st helghan tank that appears and shoot with the RPG then get on the ISA tank to take care of the rest.

just FYI I made page on speedrun, here is the link:

some room for improvement but still routing for safe strats.
