WARZONE | Online Multiplayer
Up to 32 PlayersWarzone is not only the overall name for Killzone 2's online multiplayer mode, it's a feature that embed a variety of game types. It's all about
getting you into tailor built games and then keeping you there. Unlike other shooters, you don't exit a map in this title to change the gametype.
Warzone smoothly shifts between different goals of play within the very same fight. It may start out with bodycount but after a while you get
orders shouted at you to plant propaganda speakers in the oppositions area. If you succeed at this you might suddenly find yourself as the
assassination target of the opposing force. For each different gametype and objective thrown at you there's a point to obtain, the faction with the
most points in the end is declared victorious in the Warzone. Winners enjoy the sweet reward of a 50% XP bonus not to mention the glory. Matches
are therefor epic in size and dangerously addictive, you will wish for this to be the standard in all competitive games.
The competitive mode revolves around a deep class based system. As you earn XP and various ribbons, more and more classes and abilities as
well as weapons gets unlocked for you to use. Each class has both a primary ability as well as a secondary ability (refered to as badges
within the game). When you have two or more classes at your disposal you may choose to combine them into a hybrid class. For example, an
Engineers primary badge ability is to deploy automated Turret stations that pepper the enemy with lead. At the same time you wish to directly aid
your team mates. A good choice then would be the Medics secondary badge ability which is throwing health packs (bags of blood). By
combining these skillsets you now create yourself a new hybrid class which is the Engineer Medic. Within a team you may also set up Squads
consisiting of four players. HUD indicators will pop up showing the status of those team members and you may converse with them freely for better
on-foot planning.
In Killzone 2's online multiplayer you can quickly choose to join the battles your friends are fighting, there's no down time. Speaking of friends, Killzone 2
delivers the most hefty and in-depth clan and tournament geared competitive mode in any console game. Clans support up to 64 members (that means
up to four full teams under one roof). The game comes with a fully built in tournament system, there's no need to artificially arrange this outside of the
game as it's hard coded straight into the experience. You may also arrange matches via Killzone.com. Any tournament ladder may support as many as
128 clans at anytime. Each new clan starts out with 100 Valor points. Before each clan match you may bet Valor points on your team. The winner takes
all robbing the competition of theirs. If you think multiplayer wins and losses in other shooters have been an emotional affair you haven't seen anything
yet. Online drama in Killzone 2 will reach new heights, ultra sweet victories and truly bitter tear defeats. Your honor is at stake. This is all on top of the
downright brilliant gameplay and audiovisual feast that Killzone 2 delivers, the game will leave a hefty footprint in the competitive landscape.
SKIRMISHFor players who aren't interested in competing with other players or for folks without an online connection. Same feature set as Warzone
(minus community aspect). Supports 1 player and up to 15 A.I controlled Bots that uses the same abilities a human player enjoys. Bots
can be set to four different difficulty settings. Just like Warzone mode you will grow in rank over time earning new classes, weapons
and abilities. If your Warzone (online) rank is higher the Skirmish (offline) rank will be updated to that level of progress (but not visa versa).
