[x3sphere]

Sony has sent over in-depth details on Killzone 2's online component, revealing that the game features a badge system which allows players to mix abilities from different roles to suit their distinctive play style. According to the provided fact sheet, you'll be able to equip up to two badges at any time, with one defining your main ability, while the other lends complementary enhancements to that ability.

The full list of badges and roles to choose from, which apply to both the Helghast and ISA factions, can be found after the jump, along with a handful of new screenshots.

Developed by Guerrilla, Killzone 2 is slated for a 2009 release exclusively on PlayStation 3.
