We often hear about PlayStation 3's blockbuster Killzone 2. How it looks the best on consoles, how freaking cool and great it is, and how it's much better than the overrated Halo.

But I think that you should at least show some respect for Halo, as it may be your exceedingly hot first-person shooter's biological father.

Because Halo was liberated when shooters were generally merely popular on the PC, and no one wanted to develop them for consoles. But as we all are aware now - everybody develops shooters for consoles, and almost no one cares about the PC.

I think that Halo was the key in the development of Killzone 2, and for that reason, quit bashing it so much! It's getting annoying. :evil:

Thank you.

From what I've seen, CoD4 was a bigger influence.

thats because of piracy not because of quality. PC FPS will always trump console FPS unless that console FPS is truly stellar like Perfect Dark.

This one is about Halo being a very significant key in the development of Killzone 2, the other one is about Halo changing an entire genre. Two different things. What's your problem?

That in essence is the same topic; Halo's influence. So yes, this thread is kinda repetitive.

No PS2 killzone fans should thank halo for the crap they got

And Killzone 2 fans should thank COD4 for the solid shooter we got this time around:)

Dude, you're making the KZ2 fanboys cry because their game can't outdo Halo.

Good for them. Millions of people also like 50 Cent and Lil' Wayne's music. I place them and Halo into the same trash mainstream category.

No just saying if anybody should have had the response "in your opinion, of course" it probably should have been Aljosa because apple soup shares his opinion with the majority of people who have played these games.

I agree, 50 Cents sucks, has he ever made a good song? Lil Wayne is better than him and he's not that good either.

It's become obvious that you're trolling, but I still find these threads funny.

Too bad neither of them are on PC. I can't has em in me xfire sig so I can't try to look like an elitist.

Fixed.

So, justbecause he doesn't like a certain game means he's only trying "to look like an elitist"? :|

Halo was the catalyst to make the console shooters mainstream. There is a possibility games like KZ2 wouldn't exist, and if it did exist, it could be much different.

To be honest, I really don't care what game is inspired by another. As long as it's good, I'll play it.

Console owners shoudl be thankful for Halo. It revolutionzed FPSs on consoles. It was the game that proved that FPSs can be successful on consoles. It modernized and standardized a control scheme. It brought co-op play to the 6th generation. It did so many things that last gen and this gen benifited from.

All gamers should appreciate what Halo did for the industry (except for the elitiest who are still living in the 8 and 16 bit eras)
