We've had a very good request to post an "Ask the Dev Team" thread here to give you a place to ask questions about the game.  We'll do our best to answer as much as we can, although some things we may not be able to talk about until the game is released 

• Killzone will be release in North America on November 2nd, 2004
• There is a single player game with 11 levels - each of which has 3-5 sublevels.  This is a mission based, story driven FPS.
• There are 4 playable characters that you unlock in the single player campaign.  They each have their strengths and weaknesses, and provide a variety to the gameplay experience.
• Yes, Luger is Female !
• The online component is referred to as "Battlefields".  We support 16 players online, broadband only (no dialup).  This is Internet play - no LAN mode support.
• There are 8 online maps and 6 different game modes.  Gameplay ranges from traditional deathmatch to more strategic team based styles.
• We do support buddy / friends lists for online, but no clans
• We do support USB keyboard, but no mouse
• There is an offline multiplayer that can support 2 player split-screen and can be populated with up to 15 AI bots.
• www.killzoneps2.com is the official European website.  The North American website will be going live shortly - and we'll update you when it's active.
• The Helghast is indeed the enemy.  There are multiple types of soldiers in the Helghan army that you will encounter.
• Yes we have a ranking system, with 15 different ranks available that are earned through online play.
• No, there is no official tournament support for the North American version.  The killzoneps2 website is referring to the Europen release - which is part of the NGS system in Europe (and that doesn't exist here).

We're looking forward to being up here to answer your questions....
