  • ” Age Restrictions: Must be 13 years or older to enter ”

    Err…The game is rated 18…

    Shouldn’t that be “Must be 18 years or older to enter or even play the game in the first place”

    I don’t think young kids playing games makes them violent or anything but when people go around claiming the ratings are meaningless, let’s not make it too easy for them to find evidence…..¬_¬

  • Can this be televised?

  • Competition is invalidated due to it being online, not in person.

  • *bangs head* why didnt they use this video for a comercial on tv *bangs head/*

  • I also was briefly excited until I read US only – I’d still like to participate even if I can’t win anything (could the clan perhaps accept a foreign members prize and say…forward it to them…wink, wink, nudge, nudge)…

  • anyone who wants to join my team send me a message on the ps3 my psn is gdogg666

  • “Helghast suits are wearable. They’re created by a Hollywood special effects studio.” So, should I expect a Killzone movie in the near future? Woooooohooooo!

  • Cool, but why is it only 4 player teams?

  • @45 I will add you when I go online later kk

  • um, i guess i’ll just skip school, fail my finals and hopeless try and compete with my fellow drop outs……..great plan huh?

  • @59 not a problem!

  • Meh it’s to hard to schedule match-ups with all team-mates involved plus I could care less about life-size helghast suits but I would like to know more about the Tshirts and DLC.

  • Wish I had a team! lol

  • GAFE > GAFA
    (Specially when i dont play) ;)

  • I can never win these tournaments.

  • Can I please have my PS3 fixed for free? :( It has yellow light. And LBP is stuck inside.

  • Question:
    Everyone keeps saying: WHAT? 13+
    The game is rated M
    Is it illegal for a kid to play a Mature game?
    I’m pretty sure the only thing they cant do is buy it…
    Correct me if I’m wrong

  • wow US only….that makes no sense…WHY NOT CANADA TOO!!??

  • The game is rated M. Why are 13 – 16 able to “compete”?

  • NICE, COUNT ME IN!! :D

  • not in the US so im out :(

  • Canada gets screwed again. Why am I not surprised?

  • I need to buy this game now!!!!!!!!! own people and get the dlc shirt and all those other goodies anyway nice competition any chance on you guys making a competition where you can win a copy of the game so i can be in this anyway you guys are awesome!!!!!!

  • Good luck to all who participate!

  • Anyone need a teammate feel free to add me xCeReBrAtEx

  • You guys DO know that Sony ALLOWS people 17 and under to play the game, right? It’s up to PARENTS whether kids are allowed playing the games.

    And in the EULA it says that you agree that you are 17 or older, OR ARE ACCEPTING IT FOR YOUR MINOR WHO IS UNDER 17.

    The only thing I find wrong with that, is that some real immature kids go on and play and just act like a total… Immature Kid!

    Only those kids shouldn’t be allowed to play online…

    PS. Only in US… Wow… Guess I should expect it from now on… :|

  • i need ppl to play this game with so if anybody needs someone for their team just send my a friend request and message

  • i need a team anyone?

  • send me a message if you want me on your team!

  • Will the games be hosted on a private server so their is no chance of lag? If their is a good connection and a team just like it, I could definitely prove as an asset.

  • Can some1 plzzzzz invite me to their clan. I’m areallly good player. plzzz invite me

  • I’m in.

    Send me a message on PSN.

  • Such a shame that Sony still hasn’t got their act together to include Canadians in these type of tournaments. Our contest laws really aren’t all that complex (especially when it comes to skill contests).

    … maybe they want to spend a few bucks and buy a better legal department – honestly, you overpay the people you have if they can’t figure something this simple out.

    (though another cheaper alternative is to offer a concurrent tournament for Canadians only).

    Oh wait… we don’t exist. That’s right. Everytime y’all post a blog about video updates to the PSN store I laugh because it’s not in “my” PSN store. Apparently Sony is too cheap to spring for the words “U.S.” before Playstation store when doing the weekly movie/TV show updates. I totally forgot that Sony only recognizes “United States” as the entirely of the Americas.

  • Yooo.

    Team Helghan. Mind if I join your crew?

  • awesome, i’ll try to get a team together tomorrow. hey, anybody want to join a clan? add me on GameBattles: Razrsharp or on PSN>

  • SCEE 0 – 1 SCEA

    :/
    What woulf be the DLC price for Europe? … Portugal…

  • Does this comment shows up?

  • This is awesome but.

    SONY GIVE US INFO ON CROSS-GAME CHAT! IT MAKES THE PSN LACK A LOT!

  • So when you say US only, does that mean US territories also? (Examples: Guam and Puerto Rico)

  • @54 Because it’s Sony…

    Special Olympics of New York

  • I like that the tournament rules state:

    “Age Restrictions: Must be 13 years or older to enter”

    Despite the game being M-rated. Gotta love the world we live in, folks…

  • Hahah You got them TuxBobble. This tournament thing for real prizes is what I’ve been waitin for ever since this whole online phenomenon happened. I remember back in the day, lots of companies brought up online tournaments as one of the many features that they would be providin in their games. This is it. This is the [DELETED]. Thank you so much. How bout money prizes huh? That new videogame gambling website made it legal, or found the loop hole. Yah could do that. Keep up the good work. Also, have yah read most of the comments bout your pricing for the dlc? Yah should really reconsider it. Its too much.

  • can i join the group pSN:andslasher123

  • Sure wish there were a way for us “NORMAL” folks to nab such cool items. Having a 3-year-old doesn’t lend itself well to practicing and committing to a team, let alone being good on my own accord.

    *sigh*

  • Lol can anyone tell me how come the contest is open to 13 years old, but the game is rated Mature…..hum wha?

  • winner will not only win the torunament but also every single Halloween costume competition for the next 1 to 4 years!!

  • from End Date of this Tourney, It looks like the next Map Pack will be released around the 4th of July.

  • I just got this game. I need to learn not to suck before i got hoping in a tournament.

  • Can’t Wait for the two new maps!!! :P
