"Warzone", the title of the multiplayer component of Killzone 2 has been developed by Guerrilla Games in conjunction with the game's single-player campaign.[8] The multiplayer gameplay is class-based, meaning the player can choose a class of character which is specialized for a specific role to better suit the player's needs in battle. There will be 16 classes in total, in which the player can mix and match two according to their playing style, and can switch abilities upon death. Game director Mathjis de Jonge has confirmed there are currently no plans to have co-op in Killzone 2. [9]
Warzone plays out through dynamic matches whereby multiple game types are played in a single round. The game ships with five different game types including Assassination, Search & Retrieve, Search & Destroy, Bodycount and Capture & Hold.[10] Up to 32 players can connect online, and group into squads of up to four players. Furthermore, two squads can group together as a faction of eight players. Killzone 2 also offers a clan system, which allows clans of up to 64 players to compete for "Valor Points", an in-game currency that clans can use to bet on tournaments.[citation needed]
Vehicles have been confirmed to be part of the multiplayer experience and are to be patched after the game releases.[11]
