Apart from having exellent multiplayer, I wouldent call Halo 3 the console FPS 'king' at all.....

The singleplayer campaign is awesome. Some of the best difficulty settings I've seen in any FPS, and the Skulls just add onto the replay experience. Add-in 4 player online co-op, and theatre, the game is a beast.

Skulls were a neat addition, however the 4 player coop felt like a mess, as the singleplayer clearly was not designed for more than two people running about... in that respect it was far less engaging with more people as it should have been (same with for instance HL2 coop mod - with 4 people it feels like a rabble, knowhere near as engaging as on your own).

It was not bad.. it just was not great either. I thought it was ok, a bit of a relic if anything, and plenty of design flaws that a game of such high calibre and hype should not have had. Sure it was better than Halo 2s.... but for its time, up against the games i had listed.... not so great.

The multiplayer however is sublime, and absolutely perfect for console gameplay. I really enjoyed it, and in all honest it felt as if multiplayer had become the core of the game.

Which is why id say since Halo 2 and now to 3, Halo has become a primarily multiplayer franchise. Never the less its the multiplayer that has gained the game so much widespread popularity - and of course its mp is great.

Honestly there is no 'console fps king'.

As there is no 'PC fps king'

There are just too many FPS games on either platform to simply say one is the 'best' overall.

Wow, game looks awesome!

But the guy that was playing made this game look BORING.

It has good graphics sure but I don't know if it's FPS console king compared to things like:

Metroid Prime

Halo

Resistance

and Call of Duty

But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good game

The environment, the surrounding, the character models, the detail of characters, the sound, impressive online, and the graphics. Everything is perfect about this game. It just needs a memorable soundtrack, and better character animations and we have our FPS Console King. The only people down playing this is the lems who won't get of Halo's ****. This game has been in development for, four years(going on five). Its being heavily funded, and lots of people are working on it.SnakePS360Gamer

Look at GTA IV, massive massive massive budget, huge hype and marketing, massive prodcution values. Yet Rockstar somehow managed to completely miss design fundementals that had made the GTA games so fun and memorable in the first place.

Not to say that KZ2 wont be good...

Seriously? I find myself playing Halo's SP more than the OB games, and COD4.

err. GTA4 scored a 10 and praised greatly by reviewers. So what rockstar did payed off, no matter how u look at it. GTAIV was an awesome game, IMO. Yes it was more serious, but thats the way i like it.

IMO that is. So far the FPS genre is a dying one IMO, just to much of the same, but K2 will change that, not just visually for console, its the weight, depth and overall experience that IMO, hasn't been seen in a console FPS before,Eyezonmii

Lol, FPS are dying as much as action movies are dying. It`s a genre within a well established media, on consoles the most poplular i might add, at least online where FPS is destroying everything else. We have just seen the beginning...

What do you mean by depth and overall experience? I am exited too but the first reports have been mixed, sluggish controls... levels with little variety... as of right now i don`t see it beating COD4, MP wise.

Non-spoiler version, I can't talk to anybody in a certain town so I can't advance the story= game over.

Spoiler version

(j/k very very minor spoiler)

I was in Bloodstone talking to the 3rd hero, and I went to go get a quest to get more renoun, but none of the people would talk to me. I was expirementing and I can't pull any weapons out or use magic either. It's just this save file and just this town too, but I can't talk to the guy to advance the story is the point, so game over.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know who started the sprint in the FPS genre?Delsage

[QUOTE="Delsage"]Just out of curiosity, does anyone know who started the sprint in the FPS genre?Spartan070

Nope, Killzone 1..which launched a month before that game.

I see my self just running around and shooting people to death, even after they are dead, just to see the reaction and insane blood work.

i think what i love the most is the movements/animations, it look real and handles real, GG wasn't joking when they said they want it to feel like a movie.

Eyezonmii

The FPS genre is dying? Wow.

:lol: Blurzone 2

The FPS console king is halo 3 cow's get over yourself and stop hyping this sequel to a flop ""king" of anything.

*cough* *cough* Ummm.............What are in the world are you talking about? Just because Half Life 2 has sprinting it means it ripped off Killzone? How in the world do you think they could've implanted sprinting in just ONE month???

Plus Battlefield 1942 had sprinting which,btw, was released 2 years before Half Life 2 AND Killzone. Not only that but Half Life 2 was in development for 5 to 6 years or something like that.

So please you blind sheep go to the slaughter like the rest of your kind :/

I say this in all honesty, killzone 2 has more chance of becoming the console RPG king than it does the FPS. I'm not saying it'll be bad but it wont live up to the likes of Halo 3 and Halo had less dev time, released way earlier and from the looks of it, KZ2 doesn't offer half of what it did.

You need much more these days than shiney graphics to be considered the best, even on a console.

is this the sequel to the game that got a 6.5? oh yeah it is

and i think 360 is definitely better fps no question

well the real one that started it all was golden eye followed by perfect dark on n64 and original xbox continued that and now ps3 is getting fps too

It looked pretty clear to me. :? And the motion blur looks really nice in this game.

"but K2 will change that, not just visually for console, its the weight, depth and overall experience that IMO"

Visually i understand.

But what do you mean by weight and depth?

Halo 3 will destroy this game when it comes to weight and depth.

All i see are nice graphics and some gameplay of an over powered sniper. what else does this game have?

They do overuse it a little too much, while it does look good, i hope the turn it down a little.

Killzone 2 looks promising ,hope it dosent dissapoint like Halo 3.waleedarshad

Take a poll in the 7th Column and ask Bungie fans whether or not Halo 3 was a dissappointment.

When the game actually comes out than you can tell that it is a king of this and that or that it is a flop.

Not before realise!

Neither Goldeneye nor Perfect Dark had a dash or sprint feature. If you are refering to the FPS genre as a whole you would have to go back to the days of Marathon and Doom.

lol I still dont get the hype for this game's graphics. Also the gameplay looks nothing ahead of say COD4. I'm not saying it looks a bad game in any way, just not awesome. Put it this way, it doesnt get me excited like it does some of you guys.

I can't help but think some of you cows like this game because it's on PS3?

You implied that the Halo series is the most eneric of all FPS series, thus also being more generic than the KZ series. Just because you didn't mention KZ by name doesn't mean your word-games are going to work here.

Eyezonmii

Yeah,real,just like when guy shot someone with gun and throw him few feets behind :roll:

Really realistic

LMAO at anyone who says that this game has bad textures. Now that is out of the way, one of the things that really stand out to me that nobody is really talking about are the sounds. The roar of the ships and missiles flying over head, explosions with even the sound of rubble and dirt flying everywhere, the gun fire, ect. All of it together sounds like Armageddon just broke loose. In other words, simply awesome.

Anyway, based on what all I have seen of KZ2, it looks like the most immersive war environment I can recall seeing in a game. The sounds, the incredible detail put into the effects, the physics, the dark and oppressive war torn, blasted rubble, scorched sky environments, and of course the truly magnificent graphics. All of this added together is making this game look to be one bad ass FPS indeed. All that I need confirmation on now is the gameplay and this game will do no wrong as far as what I am hoping for out of it.

[QUOTE="MojondeVACA"]FPS console King :lol: ? this most be a joke thread..sethman410

Hahaha your a joke.

a sequel to a flop being called "the FPS king"is the most ridiculous thing Iv heard all day.
