Guerrilla Games taking a break from Killzone 2, turning on double XP this weekend
Now that Killzone 2's latest DLC pack, Napalm & Cordite, has released, Guerrilla Games is ready to take a break from it all. Guerrilla Games described the situation on the EU Playstation blog (it has since been removed), stating that working on the retail release, patches, DLC and official site updates has been tiring work, prompting a break to "reflect on what is actually out there." Uh, disappointed fans who crave new content?In less depressing news, the US PlayStation blog countered the EU team with some happier news, revealing that a double XP weekend is in full effect in celebration of the latest DLC pack, Napalm & Cordite. And, hey, if you haven't picked up any of the new maps yet, maybe the DLC bundle package is for you. Nothing goes better with double the XP than new maps and weapons, after all.Source - Yay!

Killzone 2 DLC bundles inbound tomorrow
Killzone 2 fans are likely foaming at the mouth in anticipation of Napalm & Cordite, the latest booster shot of DLC set to release tomorrow. That isn't the only bit of excitement hitting PSN, however, as Sony has announced that all of the DLC will be offered in one convenient bundle. For those of you new to the game, or those of you who were apprehensive about snagging the DLC, $11.99 will grant you access to all of the Killzone 2 DLC packs thus far, which comes down to three for the price of two in the US (pricing wasn't listed for Europe, though we're checking).

Killzone 2 'Napalm & Cordite' expansion dated for July 23
The first rumblings of Killzone 2's next DLC pack, Napalm & Cordite, came over the wire last week. Now we have a date -- and details. Hitting on July 23 (that's next Thursday!) the expansion includes two new maps: "Suljeva Cliffside" and "Arctower Landing." Both are rooted in locations from the single-player campaign; the former taking place near the Suljeva mining village, the latter in the urban hotzone of Blood Meridian.The pack's release will also usher in the ability to use two more of the campaign mode's weapons in multiplayer -- but only on the new maps. The VC1 Flamethrower will appear for use on Suljeva Cliffside, while Arctower Landing will offer the opportunity to say "I love you" to your enemies using the Boltgun 4400.
