Killzone 2 was probably one of the most highly-anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusive titles that appeared at the beginning of this year. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the return of this very popular franchise with its adrenaline-filled fire fights and stunning environments and levels.

Although it hasn't really shattered sales records, a lot of fans were very happy with the game and enjoyed it, despite the fact that a few problems have arisen ever since the first demo of the game appeared on the PlayStation Network. The biggest one was a small lag between the controls and movements of the character on screen, but a lot of issues were also reported in the multiplayer mode of the game.

However, the developers at Guerrilla Games weren't oblivious to the problems and have been hard at work creating a patch, which is now complete and will be automatically downloaded when you first start up the game. A lot of changes have been made, especially to the multiplayer mode, and some users have already stated that the controls are much faster after this patch.

Here's the complete changelog of problems that were fixed:

Stability issue regarding randomly named games has been resolved. Stability issue where rapidly tapping (X) causes a crash on spawn-select has been resolved. Stability issue regarding the Saboteur's disguise ability has been resolved. Stability issue regarding game creation with a blank name has been resolved. Stability issue with repeatedly entering/exiting game has been resolved. Ignore list functionality has been corrected. Unlocking of the "Front Runner" Medal has been fixed. Incorrectly awarding victory to clans who don't show has been fixed. Battle Replay for Corinth Crossing not appearing correctly on Killzone.com has been fixed. Issue with not being able to defuse the Search and Destroy objective has been resolved. HUD issue when playing as a Medic during Assassination mode has been corrected. Controller input has been slightly tweaked and modified. Exploit of shotgun auto-lock on has been fixed. Issue with D-charges in Campaign mode has been fixed.

In conclusion, Killzone 2 fans will certainly have a more enjoyable experience playing the game now. Hopefully, the promised DLC won't be far away either and we will all be able to spend some more time with the game in the near future.
