Killzone 2 will have bots. Pretty exciting stuff, eh? They'll be available in both offline and online matches, with an adjustable difficulty level to boot. What won't in be present in multiplayer (initially) are vehicles. They're already in the single-player campaign, and are set to be patched into multiplayer after the game's launch.
