Is Killzone 2 Stopping Stat Tracking?

Killzone 3 is just around the corner, waiting to jump out and empty a shotgun shell into our unsuspecting chests. Obviously we’re all getting quite excited for it and for most of us the anticipation of a new instalment in the FPS series is the most important event looming over our gaming horizons.

With the release of the third game so imminent, there will be some people trying to tidy up their achievements with Killzone 2 and perhaps gather those last few trophies they needed for the platinum.Unfortunately, we’re hearing reports that this is proving to be more difficult than expected.

It would appear that Guerilla Games have issues with the live leader boards and ranking systems. We’re hearing that, as of Monday evening, player’s stats are not updating, ranks are frozen and the dynamic online boards have stopped updating. This will make those last few multiplayer trophies impossible to achieve.

It’s important to stress that, while there are numerous reports of this around the internet, we haven’t heard anything as yet from Guerilla Games or Sony on the matter. So, this might just be a temporary glitch that will be rectified in due course. If it is the end of Killzone 2’s online stat tracking we would be very surprised because there hasn’t been an announcement as would be normal in these kind of circumstances.

As with any major game’s release, we’re sure that everyone at Guerilla Games is currently working hard to have everything ready for the launch and we would hope that the apparent lack of response to the forum threads raising this issue is merely an indication of how busy they all are at this time.

We’re keen to hear in the comments if anyone has suffered from these issues and what effect it will have on your plans to finish up Killzone 2 before the sequel arrives. We’re also keen to hear from anyone involved with the franchise who can shed some light on this potentially distressing issue.
