New Killzone 2 patch 1.27 details

Guerrilla Games has been excellent at supporting Killzone with both free and paid content after the game's February launch. That much appreciated tradition will continue tomorrow with the release of the title's next online patch. In an interview with Videogamer.com, Killzone 2 Lead Multiplayer Designer Eric Boltjes revealed new information on the game's v.1.27 patch, which is due out tomorrow.

New features include:

- Friend Finder (added functionality to make the process of finding and playing with friends much easier)
- Skirmish mode tweaks (to help users with low bandwidth connections)
- High Precision controller configuration
- Balance improvements
- Spawn Point changes
- Badge Changes

There will be a few other improvements in the patch, but they won't be unveiled until the official change log is released when the patch goes live tomorrow.

    Two Things ive really wanted:

    Better controller options (sensitivity and such)

    Home support.

     

    If they just sort out the home support, I'll be completely satisfied with this game

    High Precision controller configuration? I am curious about what this is.

    dude, what they need is a game mode simmilar to search and destroy that is NOT respawn.  Some sort of NON-REspawn mode .  Please i beg of you, it would make this game's online mode epic.

    All I want is them to fix those damned turrets, they litterally have headshotted me from across the map in under a second before, most of the time they headshot you before you even have time to get a few good shots in, even when you know they're there and can react quickly.

    no more invulnerability in spawn grenades, air support is improved, precision controls, i think thats a fancy way of saying FASTER LIKE COD4 which i would love, (the first 2 i said are included, not what i think they should put in in btw)

    hrmm its good to see that the game is being looked after, but after the first month this game died

    @3 spawn means they rnt invinsible when they spawn out of their base on a marker

    balance means assalt only has 150hitpoints instead of 200 and that air support turrets have slightly more health more acurate and dont get targeted by turrets as much

     @18

    What are you on about? This game is still going strong. Tons of people still play it if not more than ever and these updates jsut keep bringing people back into it.

    I would love it if they put some limitations on the spawn point grenades. because too many times both sides will throw there spawn grenades into the same area which results in a small caotic fire fight of death andif you spawn into the fire fight you die seconds later.  All the while the rest of the map is empty.

    I would love to see what they mean by this precision controller configuration

    Not sure what 18 is talking about.  I see about 15 full servers right now.

    • 6:34pm BST - May 28th, 2009

    Does this mean they are fixing the controller lag? If so I might actuallt play it again.

    @ 21, you must not be putting them in good places.  You should be able to get some kills.
