The multiplayer portion of Killzone 3 isn’t just an ordinary online shooter that we’ve all come accustomed to as it has a ranking system, points to use to upgrade your abilities, new modes, and more.
Everyone starts off as a noob in Killzone 3. The weapons and the armor that these noobs will start off with is weak, but as the player continues to level up and gain more points to unlock weapons, these noobs can very well become a grand master of Killzone 3.
To celebrate the release of Killzone 3, we would like to present to you our multiplayer guide. In our guide, players will be able to learn what points unlocks what and the classes that everyone can unlock. If you have any questions or concerns, drop us an email and we’ll try our best to get back to you.
