The end of the video also sports the official announcement of the release date if you don't believe me!

Then, hit the break for more Killzone 2 with another video interview on the game's robust multiplayer component including details about the games innovative "Warzone" gametype!

The "Warzone" gametype, which can be seen in the video, rotates through all the available gametypes as the match plays out. It could start as a team deathmatch game that transitions to a capture & hold game as one team gains a foothold. Score too many points and you could find yourself the target of a VIP assassination game.
