Killzone 3 multiplayer maps – details, details

January is nearly over which means that blessed February is upon us. The shortest month of the year is also the month that gives us Killzone 3.

For those of us that have been patiently waiting for news on the PS3′s revered shooter we’ve got new information regarding the multiplayer maps. Inside you’ll find every map available including the game types, special features and number of players.

Have a look at the arenas that you can look forward to killing your friends in.

Killzone 3 boasts 8 different maps which can handle 16-24 players in a single round.

By now Killzone fans know of the two biggest multiplayer developments. We speak of course of ever requested team deathmatch mode and a new mode titled ‘operations.’ If you are not yet up to date or need a quick refresher head over to our detailed coverage.

“We follow what our fans are saying on killzone.com pretty closely and one of the big things that they wanted was team deathmatch” explains lead mulitplayer designer Martin Connor. “In addition to that we wanted to add a bit more production value and depth to the multiplayer experience so we’ve given them a game mode called ‘operations.’”
