*Official* New www.killzone.com is up

www.killzone.com

Some of the new functionality:


Battle Replays: You will be able to watch games as they unfolded, watch the troop movements and see who killed who and how. We'll expand on this as time goes by. Right now you should be able to view a couple of Battle Replays created by internal testing of the site. Battle Replays are saved and displayed if at least 2 people played and completed a round and will for now remain on the site for two weeks.


Clans: You will be able to create and administer your clans from the page so you don't have to be on your PS3 to see who wants to be in your clan or what the latest is on any upcoming games.


Tournaments: You will be able to set up clans from the site, just like in-game, but will be able to see the results and how they played out on the tournament wheel too.


Challenges: This offers the same functionality as the in-game, but of course lets you set up your battles remotely.


STATS!: We all love stats! And if the stats recorded in-game are not enough for you, we show even more here! Including match performance, a weapons cloud to show what weapons are used most and preferred faction.

Leaderboards: Same as in-game! See where you are from work!


And much much more.


NOTE-1: Clan creation will not work for you until you have ranked up to Sergeant in-game! So you will have to wait till the game servers are live and you've ranked up twice before you can use that functionality!


NOTE-2: The stats on the site are not realistic and stem from internal testing. These stats are not from real players and are simply there to show you the functionality at present.


NOTE-3: Please be aware that we are still working on ironing out some of the niggles and problems and will try and make sure the site remains live till the game servers are up and beyond.


NOTE-4: Not all content is live yet and we will be adding that throughout the next few days. (Trailers, Killzone 2 Characters, Vehicles etc)

Clan Tournaments
10-Sep-2008 - by Victor Zuylen

So you’ve recruited a few players, set up a clan, created your own clan page, and maybe even fought a practice match or two. Now what? If you want your clan’s name and reputation to become synonymous with total online domination, you’ll have to prove yourself in the clan tournaments!
The path to glory

As the leader or officer of your new clan, there are two ways to enlist in the clan tournaments: you can either create your own clan tournament, or sign up for a clan tournament someone else has created. In either case, you’ll have to pay an “entry fee”, using your Clan Valor points as currency.

To create your own clan tournament, go to the Tournaments screen and set the desired parameters, such as map settings, mission settings, and badge settings. Pay careful attention to the scheduling options; larger clan tournaments can take several days to complete, so make sure your clan members are able to attend during their designated matches. As a precaution, participating clan members are sent a reminder 15 minutes in advance of the start of a match.

To sign up for an existing clan tournament, go to the Tournaments screen and browse through the list of available clan tournaments until you find one that suits your preferences. Finished clan tournaments, as well as tournaments which are currently in progress, are not available for joining. Please bear in mind that you can only sign up for a clan tournament once, and that all sign-ups are final! Withdrawing from a clan tournament is not allowed, and not showing up counts as a forfeit.
The spoils of victory

Clan tournaments follow a play-off system: the clan that loses a round is eliminated from the tournament, while the winning clan proceeds to the next round. Winners are determined by most Mission Victories first, most Individual Points second, and most Individual Kills last. For each new round, surviving clans from the previous round are randomly pitched against each other. This process continues until the finals, where first and second place are determined. A separate match between the losing semi-finalists determines third place.

Once the outcome of a clan tournament is known, the Clan Valor points waged by the contestants are split up into the following prizes:

* 1st Place: 60% of all Valor
* 2nd Place: 30% of all Valor
* 3rd Place: 10% of all Valor


Official Sony or Guerrilla-sponsored clan tournaments can have additional benefits, such as a weeklong “Featured Clan” spotlight on Killzone.com or other goodies. Rest assured, once you start winning clan tournaments and having your clan page featured on the official website, you won’t be short of challengers for very long...

I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship

Here's something to get you in the Killzone 2 mood:
