Warzone is such a good multiplayer mode that we’re surprised that it hasn’t been copied by more developers. For those unfamiliar with the Killzone competitive staple, it’s a team-based affair that includes dynamic objectives. So, one minute you might be playing Team Deathmatch, and the next minute Search and Destroy. The nature of the mode means that you’re forced to adapt tactics swiftly.
And fortunately it’s making a comeback in the upcoming PlayStation Vita title Killzone: Mercenary. As confirmed by developer Guerrilla Games, the mode will be accompanied by two other options: Mercenary Warfare and Guerrilla Warfare. The former is a free-for-all playlist in which you must attempt to earn as much cash as possible in a strict time limit. Meanwhile, the latter is essentially just Team Deathmatch.
The developer’s announced six maps thus far, including the seedy Marketplace and the rundown fishing village Shoreline. You can learn a little more about the game and its multiplayer component over on the Killzone website. Remember, you can get early access to the title’s beta by completing several E3 specific quests in PlayStation Home.

Warzone is all I ever play when I fire up Killzone. Like you said, Its suprising that it hasnt appeared in other games. I dont play much FPS lately as I find 30 minutes of TDM to be a chore. Conquest on Battlefield is another good game mode that other games have failed to emulate. Warzone is great in that it keeps you on ya toes and interested for the entire match.
@MadchesterManc Yeah, I thought for sure this would have popped up in Call of Duty or Battlefield by now — I'm really surprised that it hasn't. Totally agree that Conquest is great, too. These are definitely my two favourite multiplayer modes, although I did always enjoy Slayer in Halo 2. (Whisper it.)
@get2sammyb HAHA. Slayer is legendary> ive got how the announcer says slayer permantly sampled in my brain lol Hell I still love Halo Reach online. Yep. I said that on a Playstation website! I think CoD started to wane on me when the game mode War was dropped. Ive been playing World at War (My fave CoD) again recently and its such a great game mode. I cant understand why it was dropped
I've been looking forward to this game for so long. But only three multiplayer modes seems lacking. They should have something like COD's Kill Confirmed where a confirmed kill gets you cash.
@ObviouslyAdachi I believe it has something similar, I've seen videos where players run around after a kill to get a poker card, and you can get (I think?) money or rewards depending on the poker hands you get during a match.
@get2sammyb Can you aim down the sights in this game? Other than the sniper rifle every trailer shows them hip firing only.
