Halo 3 only becouse it has co-op and playing it with all skulls on can be fun as ****. KZ2 is the most boring FPS game i played this year and CoD4 has great single player but way too short

[QUOTE="Killfox"][QUOTE="siddhu33"]

The Warthog Run at the End of Halo 3 gave me so many memories of Halo:CE, So Halo 3 Wins.

I thought it was unoriginal and tasteless. Here lets do the copy and paste routine because we cant think of anything newer and more exciting. Oh and I vote for none. Since all of them had very forgetable SP.

It was part of the whole "full circle" thing that was being implemented at the end, dude. But I didn't expect you to understand that.

Why would I not understand??? I own the game chief. My gamertag is on my profile.

You dont play the games for the... story. tbh, rather you play the games for how the narrative unfolds (the scripted sequence, cutscenes ect.) Out of those? Can't really judge Killzone 2, have not finished it. But out of Halo 3 and COD4? Hrrmm. COD4 I guess. Can I choose Bioshock?

KZ2 had the best story of all three. It was deep, moving and eye-opening. I especially liked the characterization of and dynamic between Rico and his other squad mates. His passionate spite for the Helghast and his determination to see the job through almost left me in tears.For instance, in one scene, I could only sit transfixed as Rico, in a moment of fury shouted out "Mother****errrrrrs!!" in a desperate attempt to rescue his comrades from Radec. In the character's expressions you could see the kind of emotion that is only brought out by war itself. The script only further added to the pure splendor that was already there. When one soldier shouted "Yeah! You finally got that big mother****er!" after I dramatically beat the first Helghast Heavy, it was like battlefield narrative magic in the making. KZ2's story is more than simply a story. It's an experience that will sweep nup the player and have him screaming out F-words and S-words all the time along with the characters and feel that, along with them, he/she is fighting for their lives to see a dream realized.

I must say Halo 3, the conclusion to the story and everything was great. Haven't finished KZ2 yet but anything with story and KZ2 as an option I will not vote for.

To be kidding would be an insult. This brilliant piece of storytelling about the ordeals of Sev and his fellow squadmates makes it so that you'll never look at war the same way again.

Halo 3, as with Halo 2, has an incredibly boring and mundane singleplayer that I gave up on a few levels in. KZ2 I have played the first level at a friends house and thought it seemed ok, but the main good thing was the animations when you shoot people, and the graphics, not so much the actual gameplay, of course I can't properly judge it, I think I'd enjoy it quite a lot, but not sure it'd beat CoD. CoD4 has an amazing campaign, which is really fun to replay, and has some shocking and awe inspiring moments and set pieces, as well as simple yet satisfying gunplay, which makes it my favourite.

Well you should play the other 2 fully. If you think the KZ2 campaign was good (and most people think its pretty horrid) then you would love the CoD4 and Halo 3 campaigns.

If you have played Killzone 2 and honestly didn't like it, then by all means, bash it. If you have not played it at all though, and are just talking from 0% experience, instead of bashing, do us all a favor and please don't.

Magic? More like a cheap parlor trick.

But honestly, Killzone 2's story was pretty thin. What it did get right was the frantic warzone pacing. Halo 3's seemed just teeny bit artificial. But Halo 3 makes up for it with a more interesting storyline and the availability of online co-op.

I would even say that the first Killzone's story was more interesting that the second one.

Most people think it's nowhere near as good as CoD4 and Halo 3. Go away fanboy.

As a stand alone story I would have to say Call of Duty 4. The plot was in constant climax and you were never sure who was going to make it out alive. Always thrilling, always fun. Halo 3 relied on the other two games (thankfully it didn't fall apart like the ending of Halo 2), but still had a solid story. Killzone 2's was pretty bland and the characters fell flat for me.

Halo 3, since it's the only that offered CO-OP which is just essential in mission-based FPS'es IMO. Killzone 2's story isn't anything special which makes everything that happens so forgettable, while COD 4 had an action-packed campaign, no CO-OP makes Halo 3 the winner.

COD4 and KZ2 story/characters were meh. I keep hearing how COD4 had a great story/characters and I wonder what those people were smoking. I cant really judge halo 3 story since part 1 bord me so I didint bother with 2 so it felt pointless to play 3 sp even though I tried. In the endI did have more fun with KZ2.

All three were just excellent. Halo 3's however and the whole Halo series beats the other two for me because I love Halo so much.

One thing that confuses me is why all the hate on KZ SP? Pacing was fine,AI was fine,levels were fine. Only thing meh was story/characters. I heard its all been done before from some users then how can they praise COD4 when its been done before to.

Yes, Call of Duty did have a familiar story line. However, the level of immersion and the elevation in which each critical moment of the plot unfolded was unprecedented. Killzone 2 (graphics and setting aside) was quite generic and since the characters were not fleshed out, nobody cared

The AI while just as stupid as the AI in COD 4, just doesn't have some of the more thrilling sequences to make up for it. Killzone 2s formula is very COD like, but it lacks the sheer intensity that COD has always had(for me atleast). On elite it's there, but I find Elite to do what Veteran Does in COD 4. Instead of being a rewarding hard difficulty, it's just way more cheap.

The narrative sucks, plain and simple. COD 4 may be telling the same plot all over again from other war shooters, but its done in a convincing way and rarely takes you out of the experience. The initial run through is just memorable, that nuke sequence is worthy of all the praise it got in my opinion.

It suffers some of the same flaws as COD 4. Which is that its incredibly scripted. This kills some replay value for some people(me for one). Some it won't be a problem, others it will be. Me personally COD 4 on its first run is fantastic but short, but on other runs its just really good. Killzone 2 just peaked at average to me, and on other runs it was entering mediocre territory.

The campaign for all 3 really isn't special though to be honest. All 3 are AAA status more for there strong multiplayer than there campaigns. Although imo COD 4s campaign was actually good compared to the other 2 but thats another arguement entirely.

WHAT!? It was a triumph in storytelling that you apparently have yet to appreciate! One that easily stands up to storylines like Mass Effect and MGS! How do you not see that?!

Ok. Just wanted to make sure it was your opinion and you werent trying to clam some fact. I personally decided to beat COD4 SP because I heard from people that the SP was OMGZORZ. I already had the game for the MP. So I said why not. I went it and left with a ok felling. All the characters were forgettable execpt soap,but thats because his name is dumb. Same reason I cant forget sev cause of the dumb name and dumb haircut. So its not really a good memorable. THe nuke thing was ok till I remembered that everyone who died in it including you had no personality so it didint leave an impact. Also the lastpart with the gun was soooooooooooo cheesy thats why it stuck out to me. IMO COD4 doesint beat KZ2 sp hand over fist. I just had a more fun time with KZ2.

One thing that confuses me is why all the hate on KZ SP? Pacing was fine,AI was fine,levels were fine. Only thing meh was story/characters. I heard its all been done before from some users then how can they praise COD4 when its been done before to.

Yes, Call of Duty did have a familiar story line. However, the level of immersion and the elevation in which each critical moment of the plot unfolded was unprecedented. Killzone 2 (graphics and setting aside) was quite generic and since the characters were not fleshed out, nobody cared

Sounds also like COD4 to me.

The AI while just as stupid as the AI in COD 4, just doesn't have some of the more thrilling sequences to make up for it. Killzone 2s formula is very COD like, but it lacks the sheer intensity that COD has always had(for me atleast). On elite it's there, but I find Elite to do what Veteran Does in COD 4. Instead of being a rewarding hard difficulty, it's just way more cheap.

The narrative sucks, plain and simple. COD 4 may be telling the same plot all over again from other war shooters, but its done in a convincing way and rarely takes you out of the experience. The initial run through is just memorable, that nuke sequence is worthy of all the praise it got in my opinion.

It suffers some of the same flaws as COD 4. Which is that its incredibly scripted. This kills some replay value for some people(me for one). Some it won't be a problem, others it will be. Me personally COD 4 on its first run is fantastic but short, but on other runs its just really good. Killzone 2 just peaked at average to me, and on other runs it was entering mediocre territory.

The campaign for all 3 really isn't special though to be honest. All 3 are AAA status more for there strong multiplayer than there campaigns. Although imo COD 4s campaign was actually good compared to the other 2 but thats another arguement entirely.

Ok. Just wanted to make sure it was your opinion and you werent trying to clam some fact. I personally decided to beat COD4 SP because I heard from people that the SP was OMGZORZ. I already had the game for the MP. So I said why not. I went it and left with a ok felling. All the characters were forgettable execpt soap,but thats because his name is dumb. Same reason I cant forget sev cause of the dumb name and dumb haircut. So its not really a good memorable. THe nuke thing was ok till I remembered that everyone who died in it including you had no personality so it didint leave an impact. Also the lastpart with the gun was soooooooooooo cheesy thats why it stuck out to me. IMO COD4 doesint beat KZ2 sp hand over fist. I just had a more fun time with KZ2.

No all my personal reasons for not liking Killzone 2s campaign, and enjoying COD 4s campaign more.

In terms of single player, I feel Killzone 2 completely destroys Call of Duty 4.

Halo 3 > Killzone 2 > Nothing > COD4

So what you are saying is that Halo 3 and Killzone 2 are greater than nothing and that Nothing is greater than COD 4.

Halo 3= sucked as usual and lacks story all the time

Killzone 2= was ok and picked up from the previous KZ, just more of a you had war on or turf now we will have war on yours

COD4= was pretty good how you had to hunt down terroists and and save people. I think my favorite part was the sniper mission

Halo 3; it has 4 player online co-op, 2 player splitscreen, skulls and a scoring system, great vehicle sections, epic music, loads of replay value and a great story if I may say so myself. :) And yeah, I have completed all three at least once.
