Redirect to original
Description Modelled of the existing STA weapons platform, outfitted with a heavier, much longer barrel, and folding bipod.
Fires a .50 APHE rounds that detonate inside the target. 8 rounds per mag.
Scope can be switched between standard and thermal vision, at 4x and 8x zoom levels.
Also has an additional optical reflex sight mounted on the top rail for an added edge in close quaters firefights.
Developed as a ranged support weapon for scouts and patrols in order to eliminate light armoured and infantry, with a lower risk of being detected by the usual method of rocket fire.

Helghast snipers who have a penchant for complete annilalation and a gruesome bloodlust have come to prefer this weapon, and take great pride in recounting to their comrades watching ISA soldiers explode from within as their shots find their mark.

Has also begun to see use by the helghast rifleman in its standard form. Most rifleman use the weapons power to destroy the cover that ISA troops use, and allow the assault troopers to hose them down with StA52s.
A combintation that has caused heavy casualties for ISA ground forces

You know your Helghast when your snipers prefer to use anti-tank rifles on infantry targets Just like how the Helghast knife is described as a small axe compared to the puny ISA bayonet!

heh, That Helghast knife looks like my cheese knife, but on mega steroids lol.
I used to Use Hakha just to slice people with that monster though, one of the many highlights of Killzone xD

Mega cheese knife doesn't have the same Space Nazi appeal as small axe DOOM blade
I remember that: going through one whole mission only with Hakha's knife!

Don't remind me of bloody Radec, I got killed so many times in the Helghast Reichstag just trying to get to him!

Ive always said that Ricos Swearing is often more effective than his bullets haha.
Imagine if in K3 they made a Helghast campaign...that would be glorious

I've always said why does Rico become a typical gangsta in the sequel "yo know we on it!" (fistbump).
Now that would be glorious-fighting to defend your homeworld and throw back the tyrannical ISA invaders.

And even take back Vekta or something.
I'm hoping Rico gets killed off in the next one, Hahkas MIA, Lugers MOA, Templars dead, Natko is an asshole and Garza (the one guy who I actually liked) Died too...Sevs got a pretty knarly beard now though lol

At the very least we should be Helghast and not the bastard ISA oppressors!
Hopefully, captured and tortured by the Helghast for killing the Emperor. Gnarly or not, the Space Nazi gasmask attire is just so much cooler

agreed, its much better lol. Though the ISA soldiers in this pic look cool, and rather adorable haha

Sev takes a helghast helmet in the K3 teaser that I've seen, so who knows whats going to happen in the next one

This fanart doesn't do anything to help the ISA not seem pathetic and weak, but still cute though

I fear that may just mean a new darker element of pretending to be Helghast, infiltrate the Helghast to destroy them from within.

Indeed, there should be a campaign in Killzone 3 where you play as Sev's beard.

Seriously though, there should be a Helghast campaign where you kill Rico. Or maybe you could play as Hakha from the first game (sent to retrieve Sev and the other stranded ISA, both to get them out of there and for information) and find a crazy Rico who is lost after getting separated from the of the stranded ISA trying to kill you as a boss (you're also separated from you're group and meet up after). I know it's assuming Hakha is still alive when it's probably unlikely, but it would be awesome.

Sevs been watching too many Chuck Norris movies aye xD

It'd be great to see Hakha come back, I liked him. He reminded me of Vin Diesel, and he had the best lines in the game lol.
I'm also hoping the game is more squad based, Im a fan of squad shooters, but I'd like it to be a squad of just soldiers that can die throughout the level unless you keep them alive and stuff.

McDoomington In reply to VeXeDZERO [2010-11-15 05:22:06 +0000 UTC]

Makes sense. After all, the ISA are stranded. Hey, maybe Hakha could be captured by the Helghast. And you early on there could be a level where you escape as Hakha and meet up with Sev. Maybe your squad could consist of other escaped prisoners (Helghast deserters, ISA, Helghast ISA sympathizers) in stolen Helghast gear modified so they can identify each other from the Helghast (helmets painted a certain colour, gas masks removed or modified to not have the distinctive red glowing eyes or different colour glowing eyes, etc). It would make sense in terms of story.

Sounds allright...I designed a weapon about an hour ago that was basically a Helghast/ISA hybrid. I'll upload the lines for it and you'll kinda see what I mean. Its like a G36 crossed with a StA52.
I also came up with a small squad of Helghast that are like a mercenary group. They fight for Helghan, but they customized their uniforms and weapons a lot.

As for Hakha, I'd like to see him make a return, but he's be older than Templar was in Killzone2. He might not be a combatant anymore. Who knows though

You mean this? [link]

Tell it's origins (who makes or uses it, ISA or Helghast or some neutral faction that sells weapons to both sides or someone else, etc) and I'll see about coming up with a name for it.

VeXeDZERO In reply to McDoomington [2010-11-16 01:27:35 +0000 UTC]

yeah thats the gun. I think if I remove the magazine and go back the the helghast drum, it'd look a bit more Killzoney, right now it just looks like something you'd see on the battlefield today.

McDoomington In reply to VeXeDZERO [2010-11-17 07:47:32 +0000 UTC]

You should do that, maybe it should share it's magazine with the STA52to fit with the "squad consisting of escaped Helghast prisoners in stolen and modified Helghast gear" idea.

VeXeDZERO In reply to McDoomington [2010-11-17 10:34:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that sounds like a good idea...
I have a basic story thing about a Small group of heghast soldiers that get cut off from their platoon and assaulted by ISA. They end up fighting with fear and using the bodies of dead ISA as strange totems, mounting the severed heads on stakes and stuff.
They Modify Both Helghan and ISA weapons to suit their combat style and stuff, so I should get to work on them lol
