Seb Downie, the Producer over at Guerilla Games made an official update on some of Killzone 2's issues.
He talks about the removal of bots from online multiplayer rooms, statistics, the official site and issues in general.

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.
1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland
I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.
Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III
Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.
I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
Im glad to have such an active dev reporting this news about K2.
Its good to hear directly from the source what is being made to solve the issues that allows cheaters to boost their stats.
I saw alot of servers of "Bots Easy XP" "Bots Level up" etc. I always joined Warzone servers. I prefer variety then just body count. Best thing about Killzone 2 Online is the action flow when changing modes and long match, not just a Team Death Match against bots.
Stat padders can keep their stats, like I care. Start Weapons (ISA Assault Rifles and Helghast one) are the most used, or the shotgun which is unlocked early on (Engineer Badge). Medic is the 1st badge you unlock and rarely anyone revives -_-''
Also, its very easy to level up in this game. I got Max Rank easy (Well I been playing only KZ2 online since 25th, Did offline for like an hour only) with my hard earned efforts (Well, After you learn the maps i'm finding it normal, just like Battlefield 2 was, I find this game very similar). Playing with friends online in squad is so fun, though there is no Party invite to be on same team. In fact Today one of my friends was always on the opposing team and he was insulting me for killing him over and over lol. (From what I read people against Bots just go one side and camp spawn area?)
Whats the use of stat padding? To go against real people and get owned? (Thinking of it, I did meet Max Rank people that they spray instead of bursting, don't know how to spot disgues from sabotage, and are total noobs). To get badage that you won't even know how to use? What about sadifaction? I been working my arse off to get Sniper Badage (My fav class in all FPS) and Sabotage (Spec-Ops, I love Sniper and Spec-Ops, BF2 style). I was so happy when I got them unlocked. I worked hard to get Revolver unlocked. I ran around with Disgues as Sabotage picking off unaware people with pistol for it. I clocked 21 hours online at the moment. I had it since 24th :D
My best sadifaction is when I got my 27 kill steak. I accidently fell off a bridge and ending up behind some clan members all together after each other in a tight area, I tossed 2 nades and sprayed like made with machine gun lol.
PS. Making an empty server, with only you gets full fast. Me and my mates made a Maltese server (Local), after 10 min it was full with germans, though we domniated chat with Maltese language :P
Now to go back get badges. I just got the Spot and Mark ability and Sniper zoom. Time to work to unlock C4.
@Below: Edit, I removed 1st comment coz I said something answered here. I thought it was 1.1, but after I saw its 16 MB I figured it was 1.11 not 1.1
tbh the only thing that bothers me, is that i would like to install the game so that perhaps all the ingame loadings would be gone. that would be awesome
Why would you stat boost when the online is so much fun?
Is it purely for those trophies? If it is, I worry about some people.
Man yeah that kinda makes me mad all the people who have been cheating with their stats to rank up faster etc to get the weapons and perks
