Charlitos, do you have the retro map pack? I think the secondary weapons trophy cames with that, so if you don't have it will still show in your list but you can't unlock it. This is why I couldn't unlock the 5 for 5 trophy.

It has to be a secondary weapon, not a primary weapon in the secondary slot. I did it as engineer with the shotgun pistol on Blood Gracht running proximity grenades so I could get the proxy trophy too.

Yeah, I have all of the DLC. And I got the trophy today, rocking with the Machine Pistol

There was a new update today. I really like what it's changed. Quite a few new trophies. From what I've seen they added a medic icon to medics when you are bleeding out. Also, on the PS3 cross media bar, you can see what gametype and map your friends playing Killzone are doing. It seems like there is faster matchmaking and less lag as well, but maybe that's just me. There is probably more that I am still yet to discover.

Sweet.

Thanks for the update C.

Also, in the new trophies, it says that we have to do X in maps that I have never heared of. Expect new DLC soon!

There's nothing official on killzone.com, which is strange, but Google search finds references to From The Ashes DLC, including 4 maps: Lente Missile Base, Mobile Factory, Radec Academy and Tharsis Depot.

The patch seems to have fixed a few things including the annoying flickering in the player list screen. The notes say that it has fixed the display of the Silent Footsteps icon, but actually seems to have broken it for me. It is just blank now.

The medic icon is a useful change. It was there in Killzone 2, so I don't know why it wasn't in this game before now.

They also seem to have reduced the ammo for Marksman. I found myself running out of ammo a lot when running the class last night.

Good, smart patch by Guerilla Games. I think that it balanced the game out more, and gave many of the little annoying things a ticket home.

I'll definetly be buying the new DLC when it is released. Hopefully a PS Plus discount.

Also, I've been racking up on the multiplayer trophies recently. All that I need to have all of the available MP ones is the triple kill in Stahl Arms, 5 kill streak in Blood Gracht (can't get it for some reason), and the two Junkyard trophies, with the Exo and Jetpack. I got the luckiest Death By Proxies trophy. I was on one side of cover in the skinny street, and there were enemies on the other side. I take the mine, and throw it as far as I can over there. I get two of them almost instantly.

Nice Charlitos. The Triple Kill and 5 kill streak trophies you should get, just keep playing those maps over. For the Junkyard ones, the Exo killing jetpack is easy enough, but the other one get me killed countless times. You need to soften up the exo with StA3 LMG or similar, then jump in the jet pack to finish it off.

I think they've broken quite a few things too though. Thought it was just me having a bad weekend but same problems are reported in the Killzone forums.

1. Game freezes for a few seconds at a time
2. Seems to be lagging a lot now, something that was never a problem before the patch
3. The medic and tactician bots seem to be a lot more powerful than before, and maybe because of this there are a lot more of them
4. A lot more people seem to be using the rocket launcher. If I get killed by that more than twice in a game, I will quit it

The other sort of problem for me is that I used the unlock code so I have all abilities for 24 hours. I put it in on Thursday night all good, but I checked this morning and all abilities are still unlocked. I have 20 unlock points now that I can't use!

My sharpshooter arrived Saturday morning. I played a few rounds on botzone with it, but not ready to use it online yet.

If yaw ever get a chance to play Killzone 3 on a 3D TV, do so the graphics on there look beautiful I am getting one for my brother.

There are alot of ppl that are haveing the problem with the double xp code staying on after the 48 hours, its been a issue since the release...don't know why they haven't fixed it yet,also why the leader boards are fobared :/

Steel Rain DLC is free right now for Plus members(which is everybody, since plus if free for 30 days). Enjoy!

Are you sure? I checked before I paid for it and said was free for Plus members before 21st April only. It's only £3.99 so not really fussed. Hoping GG will release 'From the Ashes' DLC before Plus expires, I'm guessing not though.

It will need some getting used to. Moving around is OK cos that is still left thumb, but aiming now involves moving the whole gun rather than right thumb. I seem to spend a lot of time looking at the ground. The other awkward thing is and are on the side near the trigger so I have to remember which is which when changing weapon or jumping.

Edit: Can someone tell me how the 'multi-quote' button works please? It doesn't seem to do anything for me and I have to roll my own quote code. Thanks.

Getting this on Wednesday!

Yay, another EU person on Killzone 3! Do/did you have Killzone 2 Liam?

Looking at the Killzone forum, seems Steel Rain DLC may be free for 'free' Plus members in US region, but not in EU.

It's explained a bit in the basic Forum Features Thread


Click on as many multi quotes as you like while browsing/reading a thread. They will highlight a shade of red.

Once you click on the "Reply" button to post your comments, it puts in all the multi qoutes you clicked on into your text box.
You can then reply to all the quotes


Hope to get some games Liam!

Steel rain, I think thats on my list for free DLC in the Plus section, think you have to have been a Plus member before the 23rd of April or thereabouts though.
I do have Killzone 2.

Ditto Six.

Ah, thanks Six. I was clicking the Multi-Quote buttons, but then the Quote button. Didn't spot the Post Reply button.

Liam, yes is free until 15th June for pre-existing Plus members, but not for the free Plus members like me, except in US apparently. Let me know when you're ready for online and we'll get some games in!

I'll have it wednesday, but I tend to go through the whole Single Player campaigns first, so should be good to go by the weekend.

Got it way back when it came out, but I haven't been playing much of KZ3, 4.0 k/d kinda makes you think, "I really shouldn't play this game"
