How to play
Online play needs your own copy of the game, its free Chapter 5 update and one setting: our DNS. The European (UCES00279) and American (UCUS98646) games both work, and they play together.
Primary DNS
165.227.128.12
Secondary 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. The same DNS as our PS3 games.
Set our DNS

Open your connection

Pick the connection you play on. Its network name and password stay as they are.

Change only the DNS
Leave the address settings as they are. At DNS Setting choose Manual, then:
- DNS Setting
- Manual
- Primary DNS
- 165.227.128.12
- Secondary DNS
- 1.1.1.1
Go through the other screens as they are, save, and test the connection.
Get Chapter 5
Online play needs the game at v1.2, the Chapter 5 update. You don’t download it from here: the game fetches it itself, from its main menu’s Downloads, once our DNS is set.
- 1
Open Downloads
The PSP’s web browser opens the update page. A game that is already on v1.2 shows it at the bottom left of the main menu.
- 2
Part 1: the update
Download part 1, the game update (8.2 MB), and leave the browser. The game installs it and starts again as v1.2.
- 3
Part 2: Chapter 5
Choose Downloads again for part 2, Chapter 5 itself (65 MB). When it’s done, leave the browser: the game starts again with Chapter 5.
The update is tied to the console that installs it, so every PSP downloads its own.
Go online
There are five modes (Death Match, Team Death Match, Assault, Capture the Flag and Death Match Duel) and eight maps, two of them from Chapter 5: Construction Site and Prison.

Into the round
In the pregame lobby everyone picks a side, ISA or Helghast, and the host starts the countdown. Up to eight play in a game, two in Death Match Duel.
