dude I play halo and and I can tell you this.... Killzone 3 8.5> Halo ODST 9.

Why doesn't ODST deserve a 9.0? The campaign was excellent & different, firefight was superb (much better than Reach), & it came with the Halo 3 multiplayer, which is my favourite multiplayer shooter on any platform, plus all the map packs. Was a pretty easy 9.0 to me.

For all i know KZ3 could have deserved an 8.5, but ODST DEFINITELY didn't deserve a 9

Your comparing Killzone 3 to ODST? The Worst Halo game? Why not compare it Reach....Huh...Scared?!?

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

I think most people agree that ODST's 9.0 is an atrocity. Killzone 3's 8.5 seems justified to me

NeonNinja

Wrong. People freaking out over ODST's 9.0 are the multiplayer-centric crowd. ODST has a quality campaign with some beautiful atmospheric touches that just hasn't been seen in Halo before. And Firefight presented an awesome new way to play cooperatively in Halo.

Trust me, it deserved a 9. Any fan of singleplayer shooters will tell you that. The fact that it is an expansion to Halo 3 and uses the same graphics engine is basically what ticked people off. But it's a gem and it goes unappreciated because kids these days only want to run forward in a straight line shooting angry looking targets instead of trying to sidestep around enemies, avoid danger and scavenge the limited supplies available to them as they find the clues to their teammates and see the story of the city unfold through the various audio logs. It was an expansion, didn't have multiplayer of its own and people over-reacted, but ODST is a case of quality over quantity.

And while an 8.5 isn't much different than a 9.0,Killzone 3's 8.5 probably stems from the fact it more than likely involves running in a straight line shooting angry targets and that's what the kids love these days. Oh and it has a new multiplayer component. The kids love that too.

I think games are judged based on how well they use the modes they have, not the quantity of modes, and ODST used each of its modesreally well.

I'm definitely not a multiplayer centric person, in fact I didn't even touch the firefight mode in ODST because I already had Reach and knew it's FF mode was much better so I didn't bother with ODSTs.

All I played was the SP and it was incredibly boring. The gunplay was definitely not up to par. And the gameplay was pretty lacking. It was either wandering around quiet boring streets at night fighting a few dudes or moving around the beach killing enemies. Didn't play the entire game though, I made it about 4 levels in before I couldn't take it anymore.

dude i know maths and I can tell you this... 9 > 8.5.

I don't think that was his point.

[QUOTE="dabigsiebowski"] whoa dude.... I'm gonna say this but Halo's story is B-movie quality compared to a lot of games out there. Hl2 and Deus Ex did a better job years ago and even before halo was dropped to the masses.... You walk around a nearly deserted city that's dark and you have flash backs of mediocre action scenes filled with done before halo gameplay.waltefmoney

I thought you were comparing ODST with Flopzone 3? Now you're hiding behind Deus Ex and HL2. So predictable..

Flopzone 3? Some people are still actually calling it that?

LOL at people who agree with OTHER people's opinions without even touching the game :D

Long live PS3 and Shapshooter Killzone 3

right on. halo fanboys that hide behind other people's reviews are pretty pathetic. especially considering the fact that most of them havent even played KZ3.

[QUOTE="headninjadog"][QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

Yeah, go read the guidelines. :roll:

NeonNinja

You can't spread wisdom if you don't know what you're talking about. The guidelines state that standards change and so what was a 9.0 before won't be a 9.0 later if it doesn't improve on itself. PDZ got a 9.0 in 2005, however standards have changed for the genre since 2005. So pointing out PDZ getting a 9.0 in comparison to KZ3's 8.5 just shows that you don't know how GS does things.

Which means you're not spreading wisdom....... Sorry. Somebody had to tell you. :P

alot of people get the impression that I hate halo when I say that Killzone destroys it. I dont. I would give them the halo games of this gen the following ratings.

halo 3 8.5/10

halo ODST 7/10 (ok. I do hate this one. but thats besides the point)

halo reach 9/10

---------------------

of course with killzone its

killzone 2 10/10

killzone 3 10/10

so yeah. I dont hate halo. it just isnt nearly as good as Killzone

dude i know maths and I can tell you this... 9 > 8.5.

I thought even most 360 owners agreed that ODST wasn't deserving of a 9. Personally, I'd compare KZ3 against Reach. DethSkematik

The problem is that Reach halowns Killzone 3, and that's not convenient for Sony fans.

johny300

the scores are fact for this site. complaining with a llittle *****ing and moaning won't change the fact that gamespot scored ODST better than KZ3.

To answer the TC KIllzone 3 is much better than ODST, I also prefer it over Halo Reach, I I'd give ODST about a 7, Killzone 3 about an 8.5 and Reach an 8.0.FIipMode

you say all this after admitting you never finished ODST, played firefight on it, or played the multiplayer?? doesnt that kind of make you invalid to the conversation. you seem to have some bitterness towards the Halo series anyway.
