acerazer1 | April 28th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
It’s too bad I have no friends that have this game, and that I totally suck at it. Otherwise, count me in!

Somebody want to explain why they’re letting kids 13-17 play in this tournament when it’s a Mature rated game? You expect parents to understand the rating system, yet break it in your own rules…wow, Jacko the Wacko’s going to be all over this!

Aggie_CEO | April 28th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!!!
I’m only ranked around 3,500 all time but I’ll still get up on this…

commedieu | April 28th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
13 year olds?
sony needs to solve their double standard issues. 13 year olds can play kz2.. but they cant see the word poop in home, because of what again?

diare33 | April 28th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
really cool.. do you know if there will be spectating allowed? im not sure how that really works but iv seen that in the game., it would be cool if we could watch some of these matches..
BTW: great u2 interview.. and how do sony expect us to keep our jobs when you guys are just roling out insane stuff all the time?? 2009 ps3 ftw

TormentorOfSouls | April 28th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
why is it that every time a game i play holds a contest i can’t join because i’m not from the US is it just me or does anyone else think this is just bull****.

Pound_lb003 | April 28th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Residents of 13+ on an 18+/mature game?

trustter | April 28th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Why not Canada? Why? Why?

evildude683 | April 28th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Sweet!!!
Take that rest of the world!!!!!!

trustter | April 28th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
@14, true but you can easily find very young kids playing KZ2 on US server.
They are so annoying but they play well though.

Go to hell!

Demadred | April 28th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
I find it funny that the restrictions are 13+ when its an M-rated game:P

astrocrack | April 28th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I hope the US players take this chance and have some fun. It would be cool if some matches were streamed.

sam_i_jam | April 28th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Sounds great.
But, aren’t M-rated titles to be played by 17+ gamers?
I mean, we all know that never happens, but still…curious.
22
evildude683 | April 28th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
why are the Canadians always complaining?
dude just STFU and go watch some hockey and listen to nikelback

Jeigh | April 28th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Apparently I’m not the only one to catch the irony of having the competition open to 13-year-olds. Can’t buy it until you’re 17 and, as I recall, you can’t even have a PSN account until you’re 17 or so…

usjvc | April 28th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Disable the assault class. i just don’t know how he cannot fly.

Midgetguy | April 28th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
NICE! I’m probably not going to win or anything, but it is very nice that there’s a competition like this going on for Killzone 2! Those Helghast suits look incredible! I’d wear one to school! lol
26
Kren420 | April 28th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
I cant wait to compete in this…. wait i cant its for U.S. only……..

Gringo234 | April 28th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I’m in for sure…

DustyBlue | April 28th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Life-size authentic Helghast suits? Can you wear them? Either way, that’s totally awesome!!!! (Especially if you can wear them…)
TJ Consunji replied on April 28, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Helghast suits are wearable. They’re created by a Hollywood special effects studio.
29
xenorevlis | April 28th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Pretty sure you can wear them, though somehow $8000 sounds way off for one costume. That’s like film-studio creature skin prices.
TJ Consunji replied on April 28, 2009 at 3:29 pm
The StA 52 assault rifle replicas are cool too.

aschx | April 28th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Sweet! and I’m registered!!!

Gamester101 | April 28th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
why is it that the US always gets the good stuff?
people in the EU/Canada/Australia (hell the rest of the world) really are losing faith in supporting a company, that just does jack for them..
32
Anubis80 | April 28th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Whats the DLC that you get if you win? I might have to get my friends together for this one!

Wow, uh #22, really, you think Nickelback when you think Canada? Ok, sure. I’ll avoid making any comments on what I associate with the US, for your sake.
Yeah, I was excited reading this blog post until it clarified that it would only include US residents. I suppose it makes sense that it’s organized by SCEA; I just find it surprising that Sony doesn’t show the same enthusiasm for bringing services and events across the world (hm, videostore?). Come on, you’re a multinational corporation, supported by consumers all across the globe. In fact, your sales in the US have been hammered by the competition, yet you’re preferential treatment still holds for the US. Maybe i’m avoiding some other issues associated with distributing rewards overseas, or something… but when I think Killzone, I think Netherlands, Europe. So why this event should not include Europe, seems to me a bit messed up. And why this shouldn’t include all of North America (including Canada, where I am from), is beyond me.
Ah well, i’ll wait my turn. Here’s hoping the videostore will turn up soon…

aschx | April 28th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
@32 I believe it is the map packs coming out in two days… But who knows
36
headwing45 | April 28th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Only U.S huh… too bad, Looks like you wont be getting the number one Killzone player…
37
aschx | April 28th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
@34 … dude, just disregard the comment, and try not to start a flame war. ;)
38
Anubis80 | April 28th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
@ 35 I hope your wrong cuz if thats so then I wont buy the map packs until the tourny is over then. Cuz I was goin to buy them this week. But I will wait and see what the official word is.

jqtaxpayer | April 28th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Nice idea, though I’d certainly never have a chance against those at the top of the leaderboards.
40
Aggie_CEO | April 28th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
@38 you REALLY think you will place in the top 5??
41
Anubis80 | April 28th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
@39 who cares. Just sign up anyways and have 3 teammates with ya. Its not like its costing you anything. I know I am no god at this game either but would rather enjoy trying anyways. So just give it a shot. ;)

lebron_accel | April 28th, 2009 at 3:20 pm

Why not include Canada(its part of north america so acses wont be that hard)I was hoping for this and since it was 13 yrs and older i was ecxited as hell, but when i read Us only, that just brought me down

Insane_Gamer | April 28th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
All i can say to this is BOO! things like this are only ever for US residents, their are people in other country’s who would like to take part to win that helghast outfit but of course you gotta be from the US yet again.
47
MrOlympiaSC | April 28th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Who in the hell would want a Helghast suit/gun? A 3 year old?
