The latest patch for Killzone 2 has been delayed, according to the official Killzone 2 Twitter account. This is a bummer for gamers who were looking forward to the new "high precision" controls Guerrilla Games is implementing into their shooter.
One of the most common complaints leveled against Killzone 2 was a somewhat intangible feeling of not-so-snappy controls. Essentially, Killzone 2's controls weren't designed to allow twitch-based combat like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Most people just became accustomed to the new setup, but Guerrilla Games is introducing a new "high precision" control tweak with the latest patch.
"It makes the analog sticks more responsive to small movements," explained the PlayStation Blog earlier this week. "Turned off, the controls behave exactly as they did before the patch. It’s not a radical overhaul of the control system, so the layout and the ‘weight’ of the controls remain the same. … Existing Killzone 2 players will have the option turned off by default after patching – we wouldn’t want to force a sudden change to the controls on you!"
There's no new release date for the Killzone 2 patch, but it's definitely not coming this week. Guerrilla Games "wasn't given an exact date, but it shouldn't be much longer."
Having not played Killzone 2's multiplayer after finishing the single-player campaign and grinding my teeth about the controls the whole way through, maybe this will prompt me to pop it in. Or not.

@l33t360 (and people like you)
just stop posting on ps3 articles. your names just give it away. you hate ps3 and just want to start flame crap. seriously kid, get a flucking life. whenever I read a post by you, no matter if it's serious or not, you completely lose credibility because of how obviously biased you are.
l33t360...what a smug name. go shoot yourself.

everyone buying the game expecting it to control like COD4 are morons. only true gamers can suck it up and play the game long enough to get used to it...and even end up loving the controls.
noobs crying about the controls probably because they played one level....and most likely just the demo...and gave up. people like you are retards and dont deserve to game.
@Patrick
why the heck do we have to read a KZ2 article from a person that hasn't even played the multiplayer? You call yourself a gamer, and more importantly, a gaming journalist? You haven't played the by-far greatest part of the game yet I have to hear you whine about it.
Patrick sucks. go post Xbox news.

KZ2 has been gathering dust because I hated the controls so much, hopefully this will make me want to play it but I doubt it

well the Campaign controls were NOT edited when people went nutz over the Button Delay for Multiplayer. KZ2's MP control wise has always played better then the Campaign controls.
KZ2 is already filled with a bunch of Run'n'Gun players. Zooming in to fire leads to death really quickly unless your far away.
If you can't Snipe in KZ2 your not that good then...
because KZ2 is as basic of an FPS there is.

The controls aren't a problem, i still used the L1 to aim because i'm used to it. but if i see alot of run&gun noobs after this patch i'll be disappointed, they should slow down the sprint a bit though, it's a bit annoying to snipe.

No offense, but I suggest you give KZ2 another shot, Bleahy evidently seems to be doing just fine with the controls. Hell If I remember correctly, based on the screenshot he posted in his thread, it looked like he took top spot. If he didnt, oh well, my mistake, I dont think he would complain of me giving him a compliment lol... or would he?
