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.

I guess they didnt have enough ideas for the multiplayer

 

[Lucid]

It's not an entirely original concept anyways.

 

[Javert]

It was for Quake I.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Every ability on that list is in BF2, TF2 and Wolf ET

Then again, there are only so many possible abils to think up for a war game.

I think since its a semirealistic war game they should have taked class in a more realistic military way

lets say a tipical soldier whit tipical weaponrylike a rifle and grenades,a supressive fire soldier whit heavy machineguns but whitout things like grenades,antiarmor soldier whit explosives but weak submachinegun,special ops whit silenced weapons and things like that

I think you are nitpicking too much for a game that is not even out yet, wait till February 2009, maybe multiplayer will be fun.

Take a look at this multiplayer video, maybe they are on the right track, maybe...
