Bought this game via Heavyarms forumer. Waiting for delivery by next week i hope.

Some questions:

1) If on 3G connection, is the online play smooth?
2) Any hiccups in singleplayer/multiplayer mode? The graphics looks impressive for a handheld. Might bog down the performance a little bit?

Just got it! For USD9 its a steal.   Still don't hava a Vita though

Hi,

We're pleased to announce the release of our latest update for KZM, delivering 2 new maps for multi-player games:- "Tharsis Depot" and "Blood Gracht"

A brief word on each..

Tharsis Depot

After incurring damage during the ISA invasion of Helghan, this subterranean mining platform has been converted to process nuclear Petrusite. Now that it’s back in full-scale production, the ISA will again battle Helghast and mercenary forces between the structures of Tharsis Depot. This time they intend to finish the job they started. Under the cavern’s artificial light this is a great map to play Guerrilla Warfare or Warzone on. A Mercenary version of the Killzone 2 classic.

Blood Gracht

Months after the nuclear blast that ruined most of the city, Pyrrhus is slowly recovering. But now with ISA, Helghast and mercenary troops clashing in the suburb's buildings and winding alleyways, the canals once again run red with blood. This fan-favourite multiplayer map from Killzone 2 is ideal for all game modes.

Both maps may be familiar to some of you; but each has been given a fresh lick of paint for its Vita debut.

The update will be available for download from Weds 19th February at 12pm (midday) GMT.

(Please note: the update will be mandatory for anyone wishing to play multiplayer. You'll need 167MB free on your memory card to download it - 526MB if you've not downloaded our previous updates.)

We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we have making it.

Happy fragging!

We’re very pleased to announce the release of our latest update for Killzone Mercenary, delivering an offline multiplayer experience to our eight maps.

With the purchase of the “Botzone Soldier Training Pack,” all of our multiplayer maps can now be played off-line in Mercenary or Guerrilla Warfare modes, against up to seven other AI soldiers.

As the game host, you’ll have control over the number of team mates and enemies joining you in battle.

In team modes, you have the luxury of picking your compatriots and foes. Play with three against one for a quick kill, or go brave and take on an entire team of bots alone. Your choice, soldier!

Killzone Mercenary Botzone brings new skills to the series’ traditionally strong AI bot experience. Vanguard usage, zip line navigation, interrogations, rescues, capsule hacking and valour card collection are all behaviours unique to the game and our AI is going to challenge you with all of them. Not only that but our cunning bots will also be using many of the game’s diverse load-outs to stop you in your tracks.

And it doesn’t stop there, you’ll have the chance to collect some of those harder-to-obtain multiplayer trophies in an offline arena – provided your skills are up to the challenge, of course!

Finally, we’ve also taken opportunity with this update to fix up some longer standing collision issues reported in the multi-player maps. As such, the update will be mandatory for anyone wishing to play online multi-player, with 23MB required on the memory card to download it (549MB if you’ve not downloaded our previous updates.)

The title update will be available for download from tomorrow. The “Botzone Soldier Training Pack” will be available for purchase from PlayStation Store on the same day (priced €2.49), and will be required in order to unlock the in-game Botzone menu.
