With the release of the second Killzone 2 downloadable content pack “Flash & Thunder” on PlayStationStore today, we have been able to uncover Helghast documentation on their movements in the newest maps: Southern Hills and Beachhead. These two maps might be familiar to veterans of the first Killzone on PS2, but they have been completely reworked and re-imagined to suit the PlayStation 3 experience. With that in mind, here’s a report from the frontlines on how to survive the Southern Hills and nuclear attack!

Helghast Field Manual 15: Surviving the Southern Hills
The treacherous ISA forces have resorted to using nuclear devices in their futile efforts to invade our beloved home-planet of Helghan. This cowardly act will not go unpunished and the Helghast High Command training corps has prepared a field manual to ensure its loyal soldiers do not die in vain. Read the below carefully as it could be the difference between your survival of a nuclear attack and turning into a burning corpse.
- When you hear the siren, drop whatever you are doing. Just run like heck. A live soldier is a lot more useful to the Helghan Empire than a scorched, smoking one. You’ll only have a couple of seconds to get to cover, so don’t waste any time.
- Science be damned! Just Duck & Cover! If you see the nuke going off the in the distance, simply ensure that you have a roof above your head. You don’t even have to close the windows or anything. Anyone caught outside will be turned into a something resembling jerky.
- If you spawn in your base and hear the sirens going off, just stay where you are and the let the folks outside deal with the problems. You’ll be much quicker off the mark once the dust settles.
- Sentry Bots and Sentry Turrets are not immune to the devastating power of the nuke. Don’t leave them sitting outside, or they will turn into burning chunks like anything else. Place Sentry turrets inside to ensure their safety and they will cut off the enemies path to shelter.
- If you are inside, watch the doorways for enemies ducking inside to safety. Or even better, mow them down with an emplaced machine gun before they get anywhere near. That’ll teach ’em to run like dogs!
- Out in the open? Any base can be a safe spot from the impending nuclear annihilation. If you find yourself far from home, just go duck into the enemies’ base. Your chances of survival will be higher than out in the open.
- The Bots in Killzone 2 do have a sense of self-preservation and when that siren sounds, they will try to save themselves as much as any living player. Follow them for the closest safe-spot, but make sure no sneaky ISA scum are hiding in there in the first place.
- Repaired ammo boxes and Emplaced MG’s will not be destroyed by the blast, so you won’t have to repair them again.
- Assassination targets! If the siren goes off, get to cover. I repeat, run like hell. Nothing worse than successfully defending the target and having it turned into smithereens before your very eyes and not being able to do anything about it.
- If all else fails, climb up the ladder to the roof of the central base to get a good view of the explosion in the east. It might cause you a fiery death, but damn it the explosion is too sexy not to look at in all of its splendor.
Keep these tips in mind when the ISA Cruisers launch their gutless assault on our beloved planet and you might just survive another day.
All hail Visari!

“Like a Trailer park girl on Prom night….”
ROFLMAO!!!!
Like the vid guys, tip top!
@E-Role/Sony
I be buying…you be buying?
I be buying *nod nod*
Lol, hilarious video.
That video was win ;)
@the sketch
I be bought…
eh…I think that means I bought it already.
Will hopefully get chance to have a blast (ho, ho, ho) tonight.
*wipes tears* lol. Wow, thanks. Already downloaded. Hopefully I’ll have some free time to play later.
GREAT video, at first I was thinking that someone made a mistake and embed a cut-scene from the game ;) Will this be on PSN?
And I really don’t play multiplayer so I’ll patiently wait for some singleplayer DLC or Killzone 3, no doubt you guys at Guerrilla are working on another sequel right now ;]
Hahaha…!!! Loved the video. Great work!
LOL at the tip of the manual!
“Southern Hills and Beach head” – YAY! Beach head was my all time favorite map in KZ1 and Southern Hills was my worst …. Keep up the good work!
P.S – Thank you
at the last tip*
Just awesome video ROTFL!
Bring this in 1080p :D
Nice vid! love it. Surprised me alot. Great work GG! and as other people writing: release this on PSN in 1080p glory! :D
That was GREAT!:)
Just great had to bring out when i haven’t been paid yet. lol
WOW!! LOL!!
This has got to be THE MOST HILARIOUS game video i’ve ever seen! It’s really really clever and very well-made. Guerilla shows us once again, that they have truly mastered the art of game making and that they will stop at nothing to show us their incredible talent and gut-wrenching humor. Truly a masterpiece! I would definitely love to see more Killzone “survival advice” in this form. Haha… I didn’t expect to see that kind of “pre-launch trailer” for the 2nd DLC. Totally unexpected.
Way to go, Guerilla! You are still the best at what you do!
I will sadly not be purchasing this pack although i truly am tempted. The price is just ridiculously high. I will be awaiting the introduction of a combination of both map packs, which hopefully will be offered at an attractive price.
Excellent video :D
Haha i love that video, but lets get to the nitty gritty of this post, ill be getitng this DLC next week when i have some money in the bank. You guys have cleaned me out already!
Fun video for another great map pack. I have played some matches and both maps are awesome. I just wish we could see the new maps in map cycles, like the original ones, so that they dont die out. Good job on keeping the game fresh!
So currently 4 maps cost 1/4 to 1/5 of the game’s original price? I don’t know guys, I’m sure many will buy this, but not me and many others at this unreasonable price tag.
The maps do look great, though.
already bought that map pack:D but this video was a blast:D love it:D
Instant buy, pure win, epic video, see you all online tonight!
Funny video :D
I want to back-up my KillZone 2 save but it is Copy Protected? Can you change that with a update maybe?
Great video and the Field Manual will come in handy, though I wonder what it would be like to get caught by the nuke if you had no idea what was going on?
Great Video! Still not sure if I should buy the Map Pack though.
In the next update, can you show how long each round is for each match on the map selection screen. The number of times I’ve joined a game and THEN found it that each round is 30 minutes is getting really annoying.
Soooooo funny, you’ve gotta send us more!
Sweet I’m getting this!!!
Too much good downloads on the store at one time :P Not sure what to do. But only want too spend £10 in one week :\
Great Video! Thumbs UP!
Any plans on releasing… combo packs?
Wow! Beach Head map is one of the best if not THE BEST K2 multiplayer maps! Absolutely lovin it! Keep up the good work Guerilla! Big YEAH!!!
I was considering buying it, then I remembered how many servers there are for the first map pack(zilch). I’d buy it if the WARZONE servers supported the map packs.
Yeah, i’m going to pass this one. Last pack I bought gave me no more than 1 hour of entertainment because there are barely any servers who have the maps in rotation. Splitting the user base so soon in a mp game with relatively few players is a bad idea and I hope GG will take this into consideration in their future games.
@ cartblanche
Didn’t know london was in America? lol
Why is your main account your American one?
Another rip off
:-))))) must buy!
Great video…
That was a funny movie!
@cart/e-role
played a few games on southern hills last night and I’ve got to say, it’s one of my favourite maps already.
quite funny when you see the enemy legging it towards your base when the siren goes off.
Also makes it quite tactical; do you stay outside and defuse the bomb, hopefully winning the round and dying valiantly, or do you run like a coward to avoid the blast.
top stuff GG.
that was hilariously good haha
I already bought the maps, still have to look at the video ;-)
Damn that video was awesome! They should add that humor 2 KZ3… that way I will enjoy it like titles from IC and ND… R&C and Uncharted :D!
Got the New Maps today.
What a Blast!!!
Really enjoyed them, Beach Head is down and Dirty Chaotic fun.
And the other one – man the list of deaths that scrolls through for anyone caught in the Blast is unbelievable.
Thoroughly recommend, and Good Jod to GG.
That was one of the best game promo videos I’ve seen in ages! Hats of to GG for creating it, it was very funny – and no we don’t want it looking like one of those god awful kids games!!!
Although given that I didn’t get the first map pack I’m waiting for the inevitable bundle pack of all 4 maps for £7.99 or less before I buy – come on GG/SCEE you know it makes sense ;)
haha :D Funny vid.
Nice one Gurilla. :D
Thats how you should present a new map pack, the other game producers could learn something form you guys. Thumbs up. :)
