Vanaf morgen kunnen de PlayStation 3 bezitters GRATIS!! de multiplayer mode van Killzone 3 met alle maps en DLC downloaden. Het enige addertje onder het gras is dat je enkel kan levelen tot de rang van Sergeant I. Als je dan de nodige Trophies wilt hoeren of verder stijgen zal je eenmalig het bedrag van €14.99 moeten betalen. Hou hier bij in je achterhoofd dat je Killzone 3 in de winkels kan vinden tussen de 25 en 30 Euro, dus voor een tien Euro meer kan je er ook de singleplayer mode bij hebben en geen gezeik over ranking. Oja om dit alles vieren heeft de game dit weekeinde dubbel XP.

To celebrate Killzone 3's first anniversary, we're releasing a standalone version of the game's online component on PlayStation Store tomorrow. Dubbed Killzone 3 Multiplayer, it includes the Guerrilla Warfare, Warzone and Operations game modes, as well as the original Killzone 3 maps AND all Killzone 3 DLC maps. Best of all, it's free to try - you can play any of the maps and modes until you reach the rank of Sergeant I.

If you want to keep playing, attain higher ranks, and earn any of Killzone 3 Multiplayer's four exclusive new trophies, you can unlock the full version for only €14.99/£11.99. Doing so will net you a 24-hour double XP bonus, 3 free unlock points, the ability to set up clans and custom games and access to the Botzone mode to help hone your combat skills.

For those who already own Killzone 3 (or decide to purchase the full version of Killzone 3 Multiplayer), we have another anniversary treat: this weekend will be Double XP Weekend! Starting on Friday, March 2 at 17:00 PM UK time, and lasting until Monday, March 5 at 10:00 AM UK time, all XP earned in online Killzone 3 matches will be doubled. The trial version of Killzone 3 Multiplayer is excluded from the Double XP Weekend, of course - we wouldn't want you to hit that Sergeant I rank too quickly...
