i installed it and the game still works fine, i'm 3.55 multiman newest one and it works just don't be afraid to update your game. oh yea i am the highest rated in kill death ratio that i know or have seen. they should have never made this game i can't find anyone that's my match lol truly i use the move controllers not the gun.

i never even played killzone before this week and no one can kill me lol

[djtom1]

can i install in on 3.41 jb?

[syphonlord]

Glad they sorted out the medics revive range, cause half a metre range was stupid.

[NCSUfan]

lol 1 weekends worth of stats dont mean much against noobs

what's your score? PSN? you can track your scores thru killzone.com, id like to know your PSN to see this awesome KDR and see how long youve been playing... if you've only been at it a week it sounds like your exagerating or not playing decent folks.

winning is more important than sitting back and sniping... you can go 30-0 as a sniper and not help you team all round and result on a loss... so a great KDR and a shotty win to lose ratio points to people that are just stat whores who cant really play the game but sit back and snipe a la cod syle.
