MAWLR Artillery Walker | Killzone

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

MAWLR is a play on the word "Mauler". It is never stayed in-game what the acronym stands for. However, the novel Killzone: Ascendancy explained that MAWLR stands for Mounted Artillery Walker/Long Range.

Implying there are a ‘Short Range’ variant.

[@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149]

@@Demicleas Not nearly as cool as the idea of melee chainsaw sword MAWLR though.

[@georgesears934]

@@555sarin That's reasonable. The guns could be smaller smoothbores to reduce price at the cost of range, meaning you'd need to designate the other one as "long range" to differentiate it from the less powerful/accurate ones. Or the "short ranged" version could be a dedicated tank destroyer, so it has an artillery caliber gun but it's designed to be fired at close range to directly engage other armored vehicles.

[@richyhu2042]

From what I heard/seen, Killzone's biggest weakness was its lore and storytelling, some that Halo was able to make quite efficiently. Hopefully they'll be able to sort out the lore with the next installment.

[@ComradeMeow]

@@richyhu2042 The Killzone lore is great. It doesn't have the space opera/action flick theme of Halo, being more of a gritty world-war-in-space type of setting, but its pretty richly detailed and captivating.

PlayStation has finally retired the killzone website, sorry to say it’s over.

[@decimation9780]

I played Shadowfall, it was not what is was cracked up to be. The guns were weak, it pushed you heavily to take a much more stealthy approach because look! You have a bow! It was lacking overall compared to it's predecessors, only being good in the second half of the game, and that’s something you don’t want to happen in an FPS title like Killzone.

Its equipment and technology like this that kinda makes you feel that the ISA is kinda incompetent on the Arms R&D, and they pull out wins because their soldiers are badass enough to pull through by the skin of their teeth.

[@DarthMcDoomington]

Eh... Sort of. A lot of the stuff they make is very cool but isn't that practical. The MAWLR could probably be replaced with orbital strikes from a spaceship, something both a hell of a lot easier to move around and which probably serves as a troop transport in addition.

[@altechelghanforever9906]

The MAWLR is ment as an orbital defense/long range mobile artillary platform and can take a considerable beating even at critical condition. The Helghast navy were busy driving off the ISA's navy to reorder ships to engage ground targets. And even then, by the time you encounter the MAWLR ingame all of the ISA's navy and most of their ground assets has retreated back to Vekta. And we need to keep in mind, only one was brought down and it took Master Chief levels of look for it to happen. It's purely coincidental Sev happened to find a WASP launcher the moment him and Narville's squad ran into that MAWLR. ISA aren't badass, they're just heavily favored by the plot to the point of B movie shooter guy stupidity

It is a shame that the games always protray the ISA as the the good guys and with you playing as them, when really the Helgast were given the rawest of raw deals by the ISA and at least in the first game are the actual good guys trying to liberate their own planet from you. The helgast were perfectly happy on their nice Gaia world and mining helgan as a sovereign state when the ISA attacked and annexed the planet and forcibly relocated the entire population to Helgan which was a toxic world so it was basically a death sentence for many millions of people.

I wish they remake the whole Killzone story(reboot). And if it is possible, please allow the player to customized their own weapons(gun accessories: suppressors, scopes, grip, extended mag, laser, grenade launcher, etc.)/gears(body armored, perks, vanguard like in mercenary), characters/classes(face, gender, skin, logo). Add some vehicles to drive(like the one from Killzone Liberation). Tank, Hovercraft, Buggy, Mech/Exo, Dropship/VTOL, Gunship, APC/IFV, Star/Jet-Fighter both for ISA and Helghast. Also, talking about guns. I expect they redesigned everything. Make it looks more cool(modern) and practical design(that make sense) both for the ISA and Helghast. For example, like last round bolt hold open and slap the bolt release. Have one round in the chambered. Tactical reload. I don't care if the game developing team and art designer go to the shooting range just to record the sound and details of every guns. PS: If I have to choose between ISA or Helghast gun. I still prefer ISA. Why? Because most of ISA small arms(if not everything) are more practical(I prefer conventional design over bullpup) use than helical magazine design from the Helghast. My favorite gun for the ISA: M82 Assault Rifle, LS57 SMG, LS13 Shotgun, LS18 Shredder Automatic Shotgun, M42 Anti Material Rifle, M66 Machine Pistol, M327 Grenade Launcher. The only Helghast weapons that I like the most would be STA3(MG42), STA14(M14/FAL), STA-2(HK69/79) Grenade Pistol, VC32 Sniper Rifle, VC39 Accelerator Rifle, WASP Launcher, StA62 Minigun, VC8 Shotgun Pistol.
