Seb Downie, a producer at Guerrilla Games, has announced a new Killzone patch: version 1.24. This update, which goes live on April 22 at 8:00 AM GMT, adds compatibility support for the Japanese version of the game (out on April 23), as well as support for the upcoming "Steel and Titanium" map pack. In terms of new features, expect to see three additional ranks at the top-end of the rankings known as ‘Hardcore ranks,' as well as some minor improvements to finding and joining friends and other minor fixes.
The 57MB patch contains the following:
AI - Bots now skipping disabled/destroyed MGs in warzone when requesting mounted guns.
AI - Do not claim waypoints for the previous character when it's dead.
AI - Fixes bots getting stuck trying to arm/disarm S&D object when mission is already over.
Campaign - Fix for potential progression bug in Salamun Bridge.
Clan - User name, not users clan displayed in rankings
Clan - Winning 10 Clan Challenges causes the user to become stuck on the medal awards screen.
Controls - Lean & Peak - Zoom hold on and out of ammo it switches between regular/scope view rapidly.

Sound - Turret placing sound continues when killed.
Stability - Crash when synching gamestate after a full mapcycle

@ 1 well we can see that we're not stupid,
and i hope the hardcore ranks have something realy hard to get to like maybe 5000 for the first then like 10,000 then 20,000 to get to the fullest rank and does this mean that they will be new badges? i could imagine top rank being a heavy and someguy just walks around in a massive suit cleaning house and maybe next patch could include vehicles online

@ 17 You have got to be kidding me right???? The online painless??? Dude there are several issues with the online. I am going to give you the top 2....
1) Network errors up the yang!!!!!!!!
2) The lag is almost as bad as SOCOM...
I can't even join a larger server. Meaning anything above 20 max player and I get da boot.....And even now with that last patch the issued to help with the Network Stability it is hit or miss with those as well...
I haven't played in 2 weeks cause I am so annoyed by it. You only take so much when you are doing really good and racking up the points just to get a error code and get booted and lose all those points... I would have been a general a long time ago but I keep getting booted and it SUCK!!!!!!!!
So hows about GG just work on the stability issues for the next patch....

@22 I have little to no problems with lag and only minor problems with network errors. You must live far away from a server or something. I've never had to quit a game or have been kicked because of latency. The game that is almost unplayable because of lag (that I own) is COD4.
