Killzone 2 will be hitting store shelves in just a few short hours, and to help celebrate the release, Sony has announced a contest to give away a handful of limited edition replica Helghast StA52 Assault Rifles. It's a contest that is really simple to enter, but seemingly much more difficult to win. From March 1st through the 14th, anyone who plays a game of Killzone 2, single or multi-player, will automatically be entered to win. At the end of each day, a winner will be picked based on a certain pre-set criteria.

Here's the full list of what will win you a fake gun:

• Day 1: Max number of Helghast killed by a single grenade
• Day 2: Total Number of helmets popped
• Day 3: Least time taken to kill Radec
• Day 4: Total amount of Boltgun Kills
• Day 5: Most Assassinations
• Day 6: Highest Kill ratio
• Day 7: Most revives performed
• Day 8: Highest All Weapon Accuracy
• Day 9: Most spawn deploys
• Day 10: Best sniper Accuracy
• Day 11: Highest killingspree
• Day 12: Most headshots
• Day 13: Most Games Lost
• Day 14: Most games played as ISA

With only 14 being given away, you'll have to really hone your skills if you want to snag one of these awesome looking StA52s. I for one will definitely be playing during this 14 day window. Whether or not I can put up the kind of numbers that would make me a winner remains to be seen.

Here's a few more shots of the rifle we'll all be fighting for:
