You know a first-person shooter is cranking things up when people start talking about communications uplinks. Get absolutely stuck in.

Meanwhile, let's see what else we had to say about the Killzone 3 campaign. "You'll fight Flood-style alien spiders and lethal Helghan ninja-types who look like they've wandered in from Vanquish. You'll take down not one, but two enormous boss machines by clambering around in their guts or shooting their usefully exposed weak spots. You'll even end up essentially playing After Burner in space." Sounds great!

"In terms of environments, you hop from ruined city streets to icy glaciers, from neon subterranean jungles to vast beige junkyards, from pristine laboratories to low-gravity spaceship corridors. There's even an extremely ill-advised stealth section where you can become completely invisible by crouching in a patch of waist-high grass no bigger than a pizza box." Ah, ill-advised stealth sections. The cornerstone of every nutritious shooter.

Chapter 4: Six Months On

Jungle Valley

You head out to get a communications link up and running, but encounter heavy resistance that needs to be taken down quietly. Use your silenced weapon or brutal close-quarters knife attacks as you work your way towards your objective.

Behind the Vale

Continue to silently murder Helghast troops, sneak past troop transports and finally locate the cruiser wreckage.

Cruiser Wreckage

Kill the remaining troops around the communication uplink to re-establish the link and then take out the incoming ambush. Use cover and heavy weapons to take down the troop carriers, and clear up all the ground troops before escaping and heading back.

Kaznan Deep

More resistance on your way back to camp. Seek cover as they come from a few angles at once, then take them all out as you proceed through the jungle to regroup with your unit.

ISA Camp Siege

After returning to base, you discover it's under attack. Defend it as best you can, using heavy guns or sniper rifles as the relentless Helghast close on your position...
