Killzone 2 Cheaters Could Lose Their PSN ID

Cheating, lag switches and ?glitching? have become commonplace in online gaming. A good developer who supports their games online community, will do their best to prevent these forms of cheating.

Guerrilla Games has just announced on their twitter, that cheaters could lose their PSN ID, and online gaming privileges. That alone should be enough to deter anyone who looks to use underhanded techniques to win online.

So if you cheat, be prepared for the ban hammer?

@TheXFrame Glitchers risk losing their PSN ID altogether. We've been quite lenient so far but that's going to change.

It's nothing like pc's where you can use codes and aim bots, cheating on consoles requires you to find a glitch and then exploit it. Either with the actual design of the game like finding a way under a map, or using hardware to put other players at the disadvantage (standby-ing) with their connection.

Hardware cheating is the easy one to solve if you know the signs to detect it. Glitches are solved by patches and they could be under lying for months/years before they are discovered or solved.

GUERRILLA RESPONDS TO LACK OF PARTY SYSTEM

Guerrilla Games Senior Online Games Designer, Erik Boltjes responds to the massive petition for a party system in Killzone 2.

Earlier this week, we reported of a petition going around the Killzone.com forums which was asking for a party system to be implemented. This morning, we received a response from Guerrilla Games Senior Online Games Designer, Erik Boltjes.

In response to why KZ2 is lacking a party system/ playing with friends:

"Hey guys,I totally agree with you; we should have a friends-party

system. Unfortunately due to reasons I cannot go into here, it isn’t

as easy as ’just implement it!’. We are however investigating what we

can do to resolve this obviously missing functionality.Keep on

fragging!"

Several members of the forums asked if they could go to Insomniac for help, seeing as how Resistance has one of the best party systems around.

In response to asking insomniac for help with a party system:

"It has nothing to do with sharing resources or the PS3 not being able

to handle party systems. It has to do with us supporting spectators

and the way we have implemented how that works. Basically we shot

ourselves in the foot. But I cannot go into technical detail but again,

rest assured, your concerns have been noted and we are trying to find

a fix!"

Thanks for the update Mark, much appreciated.

Want to discuss this further? Would you prefer to have spectating, or the ability to have a pre-game party system, like Call of Duty 4? Post your comments below, or if you prefer, you can post in the forums here.
