Killzone 3 to introduce cinematic deaths

If the player keeps firing on the jetpack's fuel tank it will eventually rupture and ignite, propelling the screaming trooper skyward in a ball of flame.

Killzone 3 is set to introduce cinematic deaths which will add a dramatic spectacular punch, allowing players new ways to take care of the Helghast. Victor Zuylen, Community Editor at Guerrilla, wrote on the official Killzone website,

For instance, a Helghast drop ships struck by a barrage of W.A.S.P. projectiles doesn't have to simply drop out of the sky; the force of impact can tear off the ship's stabilizers, causing it to bank and spiral wildly out of control before slamming into the ground with a massive explosion. Of course, this also makes it more difficult to predict where the drop ship will come down, as Sev finds out:

Another cool example is the jetpack trooper: if the player keeps firing on the jetpack's fuel tank it will eventually rupture and ignite, propelling the screaming trooper skyward in a ball of flame. As the fuel burns up, the trooper's charred remains fall back to the ground - and, if the player's lucky, onto the heads of other Helghast soldiers or nearby oil drums.

Wonder for the people who's dying see's all that in first person. Cool effects, this game alone will make me want to upgrade to a 3D HDTV and PS Move.
