Downie: Exciting features coming in Killzone 2 patch 1.27

Guerrilla Games Producer Seb Downie has made a post on the official PlayStation forums stating that Killzone 2's 1.27 patch is well underway and that there will be some new exciting features included when it comes out in late May.

"Patch 1.27 is well under way and will be released a little later this month," wrote Downie. "It is a pretty sizable patch with some exc[it]ing features.... There is also a lot of server related maintenance coming with that and a lot of other things still in the works. (DLC 2 anyone?) But more on that later."

Downie ended the post by noting that when a release date has been agreed upon for all regions, a press release will go out with all the patch 1.27 details.

What "exciting features" would you like to see in the new patch? Let us know in the comment section below.

    Im just gonna tell myself that the next patch includes some type of co-op component, regardless of whether its likely or not....

    saying 1st in the comment box isn't gonna get you laid. So I don't see what's the big deal of being first?

     

    Anyways good for Kz2 and GG, they really love to support the game unlike IG with R2.

    I wish it would be the addition of online co-op but I know they've already said that that won't be happening.  Too bad.

    You must be 'really' ugly kingpin. Everytime I get first on comment box I get laid.

     I just read some kids idea on the kz.com forums. He said he wanted to be able to use the valor to buy clan uniforms/ customizable clan weapons. I thought that would be pretty sweet.

    Maybe more weapons online though? I hate being stuck with the shotgun as an engineer, but I know it keeps the balance.

    You guys, they won't put in co-op... EVER. They already announced that  awhile ago... I personally don't understand what the big deal about it is. It's already a great game.

  14. bravo9zero

    • 8:31pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    Why not just tells us whats in the patch GG?

    • 8:31pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    Lmao, they make it sound like they're gonna add something that has never been in  game before. Cut the PR bull and give us our ability to create a party xD

  16. b-nickel9

    • 8:32pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    stomp feature

  17. higgos22

    • 8:32pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    i want to not get the 'game host unavailable' and not disconnect and all those nuicances, also maybe like new guns like flame thrower and maybe make a new class like those hig with flamethrowers, or maybe the abilitie to have 1 level with heavy for hig and like a tank or that stalker for isa

     Yeah its good to see GG support K2 the way they are doing it...  about insomniac though, I think they are spread to thin and work on multiple projects at a time.  Not to mention they do not spend 3-4 yrs on one product.  With that said I dont think they would be updating the crap out of any product because they are too busy creating other games.  

  19. dnice2532

    • 8:41pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    hope they include no respawns as an option

  20. coltsven

    • 8:59pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    The way it reads it sounds like the patch might be related to the retro map/expansion pack they first announced right before the Steel and Titanium release.

  21. Guttermouth

    • 9:01pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    A party system is the only thing I want. Anything else is just a bonus.

  22. SamuraiZero

    • 9:06pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    I say a free for all type game, and an "All against one" game where the one person has the tesla gun, only he gets points, when killed he drops the gun and another person picks it up(FFA type game). Also adding a secondary weapon function to some weapons would be nice (say a grenade launcher to the ISA rifle, and the shotgun to the Helgan rifle) just saying. 

  23. terminator12259

    • 9:19pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    yeah when is co-op coming, GG said it was coming so where is it?

    How 'bout customizable controls???

  25. Sryche22

    • 9:39pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

     server maintenance sounds awesome...getting a little sick of the disconnections

  26. masonmcglasson

    • 10:21pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

     I would like to see the sabotuer class to be able to use the shotgun!  The ability to create a character would also be nice.  Also a option to save your loadouts instead of having the pick the handgun everytime you switch a class and the secondary skill.  A party mode as well!

  27. Arnekun

    • 10:22pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    flamethrower, electric arc gun, bolt gun in multiplayer

    regular soldier should have access to all weapons including sniper rifle after unlocking sniper badge

    multiplayer map of the courtyard outside Visari's palace (the place with the oil spills and fires and statue) and a multiplayer map on planet Vekta

  28. Ocelot1987

    • 10:41pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    The new patch should include cross game chatting. That is all PS3 really needs.

  29. el kevo

    • 11:20pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    Hopefully some nuetered shotguns' or a limit on the amount of people that can choose the enigineer class

  30. ShawnBear

    • 11:32pm EDT - May 11th, 2009

    yeah i wouldnt mind some 4 player split screen/ lan with those offline bots. i mean they put bots in for a reason right?

  31. Super_Dante

    • 12:06am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    A mute all players option ! that would be nice :D

  32. hurleyboy

    • 12:24am EDT - May 12th, 2009

     if patch 1.27 deletes all modifications and takes it back to the original release ill be happy otherwise this is a nothing to me the game was so much better before they turned it into codzone

  33. BuzzLightyear

    • 1:00am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    Fix the darn controls!!  There are 'standards' that all other games use for move/look reaction to stick inputs.  KZ2 is so far away from these that it's just awful trying to go back and forward between it and any other game.  At the very least give us the option of 'KZ2 messed up control mode or Normal FPS mode'

     @1 maybe cause IG doesnt have enough time to waste on patches when they have to finsih a whole game in a year.

  35. Caemgen

    • Invite friend into game
    • Display full game-info before joining one
    • Keep squadmates in the same faction when a new round starts
    • Join friend through start/select-menu when in a game (so you don't have to go back to the menu's to do so)
    • Accept game-invite through start/select-menu when in a game (so you don't have to go back to the menu's to do so)

    Make it happen GG!

    even though they dismissed it - coop. anything else, i wouldnt care.

    @7 Brokentusk81 Yeh, with your hand

  38. DragonWraith

    • 3:17am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    @Everyone:

     

    STOP wanting co-op, it AIN'T f****** happening, EVER!

    • 5:03am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    He already mentioned some of the features in the question thread last month:

    They're making it easier to play with friends online, didn't specifically mention a party mode but he said we'll be happy.

    Also they're changing the controls/weightyness of you character so that "everyone will be happy", to me that sounds like they'll add in an option to turn the weightnyness on/off.

  40. Tonic99

    • 5:31am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    How about Co-op? :)

  41. bilbo_bobbins

    • 5:56am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    no party system, no play. Getting a little bored now. Plus they desperately need info on the room before you join. It's frustrating going in and some noob has no assaults/scouts/sabos.

     

     

  42. Tomthegreat

    • 8:54am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    it would be nice if they made split screen competetive , that way when my friends come we could play K 2

  43. TheStatic

    • 10:12am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    it would be awesome if they could do so you can costumise you player, maybe hard because its two diffrent teams but it had been awesome

  44. psychotoe

    • 11:05am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    just allow us to bind the controls to our liking. L2=Iron sight I hate using the bumpers for FPS games!!

  45. NYFAN75

    • 11:46am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    I just hope they finally fix the damn stability..... I am sick of seeing error codes every damn minute....

  46. supamariobrotha

    • 11:56am EDT - May 12th, 2009

    wow these guys know how to satisfy customers

  47. byaafacehead

    • 9:09pm EDT - May 12th, 2009

    Make games that aren't faction-balanced UNRANKED!!! That is the most annoying thing- getting into a game and being one of two or three vs. a team with over ten and getting competely beat to s**t. And then it f**ks my KDR into pieces (not that my KDR is any good anyway...)

  48. blingblaine

    • 9:24pm EDT - May 12th, 2009

    1. Make unbalance games UNRANKED.   

    2. Party System.

    3.Tournament screen page down option. 

    4. No extra armor for the most powerfull badge.  (assault) Makes no sence

    5. Take the rockets out of the game or dont call it a dare I say a Tactical SHOOTER.

    6. Turn the Elite difficulty down a hair.  Platinum is too difficult.  Unachievable. 

    Thats about it

    nice...

  50. dgc4rter

    Unlock all Weapons & Classes for Skirmish mode with Split-Screen. Add Bolt Gun and Arc Gun. Multiplayer Map which allows Exo Skeleton to be used.
