Killzone 2 multiplayer will ship with eight maps, the developer said, and players will be invited to rank up as they play in a similar fashion to current FPS heavyweight Call of Duty 4. Support is for between two and 32 players, although there are no hard player limits, with a lot of scope for customisation.

There will also be six player classes to choose from - assault, scout, medic, engineer, tactician and saboteur - and each will come with various specialist skills. For example, the tactician can deploy mobile spawn points and call in air-strikes from a chopper, while the medic can revive players with a medi-gun and toss health packs to comrades.

This sort of team-play behaviour will contribute to ranking up, as will kills and completing objectives, and there are also a range of "ribbons" to earn by doing a certain number of headshots and so on.

What's more, players will be able to customise their approach further by combining two classes (known as "badges" in the game's lingo) to combine certain abilities.

For game-types you've got team deathmatch, capture-and-hold, search-and-destroy, assassination and "body count", and it will be possible to customise party playlists so that you work through a sequence of different game-types during one session - without leaving the level.

There's masses more to report - including the community aspects and the minute details behind all of the above - but we'll save it for our extended preview either later in the week or once we get home from E3.

Medic:

Primary badge ability: Revives downed team mates.

Secondary badge ability: Throws a health pack, which can be picked up by other players.

Scout:

Primary badge ability: Uses a cloaking suit to become near-invisible.

Secondary badge ability: Tags all on-screen enemy players with a hidden marker, which broadcasts their coordinates to team mates.

Assault:

Primary badge ability: Dons heavy armour twice as strong as normal.

Secondary badge ability: Temporarily boosts running speed.

Tactician:

Primary badge ability: Throws a coloured smoke grenade, which serves as a spawn point.

Secondary badge ability: Requests air support from a sentry bot which targets the enemy.

Saboteur:

Release isn't set for 09 so I'd expect a few tweaks and improvements to what is shown.

It's like cod4 gameplay with the best of bf2 classes and then improved gfx on top of that. All of which is a good thing.

This is the biggest killer-app game for the PS3, it looks like it.

GIVE ME THIS FUCKING GAME - NOW. DO IT.

The class names are like a mix of BF2 and TF2 though. Tactician sounds cool though.

Looks like these guys have been playing TF2.

Anyway I thought the trailer looked incredibly boring. Corridor based multiplayer first person shooter.

How can it get you excited? I'm not trolling i'm genuinely curious. I enjoyed the first game. It pushed the system a lot (too far IMO, it made the game suffer), and felt nice and realistic. However I played it again recently and it sucked. Quite simply.

I'm not in the least bit excited for the sequel from what i've seen.
