Pretty soon, you'll be fighting Helgast players on one of their transports, or ISA players on one of theirs. Sony Computer Entertainment America has released details and the availability date for the first "Steel and Titanium" multiplayer maps for Killzone 2. The two new multiplayer levels, or heavy transports, will be released on April 30, 2009 via the PlayStation Network. The cost of the maps haven't been announced yet.

Here are the details from SCEA on the new Killzone 2 maps:
"Wasteland Bullet, which pulls inspiration from the train level "Tharsis Refinery" in the single player campaign, takes the action right onto a high-speed bullet train that is used to transports goods and troops between Pyrrhus and the Wasteland. On the train, players must navigate through a narrow and treacherous tight layout, dodging oncoming obstacles, while facing off with the enemy on top of two high-speed moving trains. The action is frenzied and dangerous as players will be able to jump back and forth between the trains throughout the level, while maintaining focus and remaining aware because hitting a concrete pillar or other obstacles at the train’s high speeds could mean instant death!"

"In the second map, Vekta Cruiser, which is based on the “Cruiser” level from the single player campaign, players as the ISA troops find themselves in close quarters, boarding a vast ship. Their goal is to repel a force of assaulting Helghast troops while simultaneously protecting the cruiser from enemy fire. The action takes place entirely indoors in a frantic and claustrophobic environment where the battle against Helghast continues. Attackers are lurking around every so attention and focus is key."

GameTrailers TV previously released some footage from the maps. See the maps in action below. Wasteland Bullet looks fun for it's dangerous environment and calls for some careful maneuvers while under fire. The Vekta Cruiser makes for a slick multi-layered battleground.
