Guerrilla isn%26rsquo;t focusing entirely on flashy visuals - they%26rsquo;ve also released details about Killzone 2%26rsquo;s story. Not only will heavy weapons expert Rico Velasquez be returning, but special ops lady Lugar and Evelyn from Killzone: Liberation also show their faces. The plot focuses on the ISA taking the battle to the Helghast%26rsquo;s front door after weakening them in the first game. You could also hear Scolar Visari%26rsquo;s rousing speech from the first Killzone%26rsquo;s intro movie blaring through speakers on the streets. He%26rsquo;s the Helghast%26rsquo;s evil dictato⛎r and we%26rsquo;d be very surprised if he doesn%26rsquo;t return to cause us more bother in KZ2.

The beady-eyed Helghast are more inventive than the ISA could%26rsquo;ve anticipated. Somehow, they%26rsquo;ve managed to harness Helghan%26rsquo;s atmosphere and, amazingly, use it as a weapon against invaders. Those Arc Towers we mentioned earlier play a key role. They use them to - we think - pull storm clouds from the sky, absorb their power and use the collected lightning energy like a laser beam. At the end of the demo we watched the developers destroy one of the towe♕rs. First, they fought their way through lines of Helghast to reach it, again showcasing the fluid animation and muzzle flash effects. When they reach the Arc Tower they push a button to open hatches on its side. This exposes a glowing red core, which is fired upon resulting in the tower%26rsquo;s epic, fiery destruc𝓡tion. And then nothing. The demo ends.
