MP Info said:
Killzone 2 Badge System:

Rather than adhere to a rigid character class system, Killzone 2’s online mode allows the player to mix abilities from different roles to better suit his / her preferred style of play. Abilities are represented by badges: the primary badge defines the main role of the player character, as well as its outward appearance, while the secondary badge serves as a complementary ability that enhances the main role.

Although their player characters look different, both Helghast and ISA factions have the same set of roles and badges to choose from. Here they are, from left to right:

Rifleman:
The default multiplayer character is assigned when no primary badge is selected. A secondary badge may still be added. Riflemen can start with most weapons, except for the specialized ones.

Engineer:
Primary badge ability: Sets up an automated turret which targets the enemy.
Secondary badge ability: Repairs ammunition dispensers, mounted guns, and automated turrets.

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:
Primary badge ability: Assumes the disguise of a randomly selected enemy player.
Secondary badge ability: Throws a sticky, proximity-activated C-4 charge.

doesn´t the classes sound like the TF2 ones?

Mind you that i´m not a TF2 player so i´m probably mistaken and this is not a troll post, i´m really intrigued.

Downloading video....go faster!!

Damn I hoped all those rumors about persistent battlefields and big-scale shit would be here. :( Well the bright side is still that not much has been revealed yet.

The good thing (or rather, the bad thing) is that the TF2 on orange box is unsupported, and lacking. This won't be cartoony, and have the cover system so it won't play the same at all. I'm sure GG will support the heck out of it. This will have a nice spot on PS3.

looking good... looking good...

I like the idea of cross-pollinating abilities from different classes. should make things more varied.

I said it in the other thread, The multi player looks better than pretty much every other games single player graphics.

Pretty amazing.

The class abilities look excellent. If its well balanced this will be the MP of 2009 for me.

I'm sure I'll be done with Gears and Resistance by then.
 
Great googly moogly, that's what multplayer looks like? That's look incredible!

And Sony didn't even show it off at the press conference?

Who the heck was in charge of that thing anyway?!

I was gonna suggest that someone created a thread but no one can stop you Wollan. :lol

Sony is delivering after all!

This is on the American PSN store (at least).

Major ball droppage not showing this and the new Motorstorm 2 trailer at the conf.

Because they really fucked-up and dropped the ball today.

Now, onto more important business: +1 Time Machine set to K2's release date please.

This is going to ruffle some feathers, but this game looks more polished and just overall better than Resistance 2.

I think Sony delayed the wrong game...

Why the hell isn't this shit all over G4? Sony freaking sucks at marketing and getting people hyped about shit. CliffyB is right, you want a successful game, make the game a fucking event.. why is shit being released on Sony's press site, but not mentioned in KZ2's live demo on national TV and international live feeds (G4)... idiots.

You said it. Instead of that shit dev talk... I can't even figure out to whom that part of the conference was directed.

The way I see it, Sony _owes_ Insomniac a lot, and that explains why they delayed KZ2.

Don't worry though, R2 is going to be great, no doubt about it.

Nah too much stuff going on this holiday season (across all consoles). Let Killzone 2 stand and shine alone in February.
