For the first time, Sony displayed a 16 player online version of Killzone at last week's
GC-Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. It looks to feature pretty standard multiplayer modes: Deathmatch, Team
Deathmatch, Assault (one defends, one attacks), Defend & Destroy, Supply Drop (capture the flag) & Domination
(capture & defend key positions). There's also an option to add AI bots (up to 15) to fill the void in
lightly populated games. Two maps were on-hand, a close quarters-style 'modern fortress' (multi-tiered with lots
of walkways and windows) and a massive 'tropical canyon' level with dunes and palm trees, plus a number of buildings to
fight in. Though there was no headset support at the event, the control scheme and framerate held up providing an
overall enjoyable experience. Head over to IGN to read Peer Schneider's impressions.
