So, in the background materials, there is no FTL?
I've always paid attention to stuff like that and I'm fairly sure they do in story. Killzone 3 has numerous references to a warp drive and FTL communication and in Killzone 1, the earth fleet appears to be jumping in between the space station the player is on and the planet.

I don't think the designers didn't care. I think it's more that unlike in Shakespeare's time, people today are so used to only having a few days to solve crises that even stretching events over a week noticeably lowers the dramatic tension. So the designers were inadvertently forced to write the plot in time frames where only FTL travel would work, possibly without realizing they'd done so.
