Killzone 2 is a boring fps. Halo 3 is far better.

What exactly isn't repetitive about halo 3? It's the same thing.. shoot guys.

XileLord

Isn't that how most shooters are? People who like halo generally follow the story closely, love the weapons, physics, graphics and most of all how the multiplayer functions. Cows will hate on halo like it's the worst thing in the world yet most of them haven't even touched the game and truly if it was a BAD game it wouldn't have sold and it wouldn't be one of the top xbox live games played.

I've never touched killzone 2 so i wont comment on it generally because I'm not a fanboy but i guess we are all subjected to our opinions.

I know, I was merely pointing out to the TC the flaw in his logic. I have both games and both of them are good.

I'd argue Halo is good but not very good either, I don't really like either of them. They're perfectly competent shooters.

Thats your opinion TC. Honstly when it comes down to MP halo and KZ2 are very different games. So I say room for both,but I personally like KZ2 more.

Im going to go by peoples logic of crysis. If crysis is an average shooter, then halo3/killzone 2 are average/below average shooters as well.

It has alot more variety in environment, weapons & enemies, there's vehicle sections to change things up and the levels are alot less linear for the most part.

We are very similar. We both love halo both have that snake picture as wallpaper on our ps3's ( guesswork ) Same trophy level alsmost the same gamerscore and your last 2 played games are the same as mine and your last played ps3 game :D

I can agree to it but aside from the vehicle segments .. something KZ 2 has as well .. (ok like 2) nothing really changes up the gameplay much. I only made that statement to show the TC how silly he was being anyway.. nothing against halo.

I have halo 1 & 2 and never could finish them they just don't hold my interest. Killzone 2 I like better but I would say it's not the best.

[QUOTE="BlackTragedy"]

Kz2 is a boring repetitive fps that jumped out of the generic save the world shooter category. Why do ppl keep saying this game is sooooo amazing. All it really has going for it is graphics. The awkward controls and character movement make the game feel frustrating if you pick it up after playing resistance 1,2 cod 4, waw , battlefield ect, ect or any other fps. Why do ps3 fanboys keep saying this game is the best fps on the market. Resistance 2, 1, cod 4 are far better with far better stories. Heck Halo3s opening cg cut has better story then all of kz2

I have no doubt in my mind that halo 3 is the better game between these too (and ive only seen my friend play online for 10 mins and the first 2 cut-scenes, and the gs vid review). Also please note i only have a ps3 and dont own a 360

I kinda agree with you. I couldn't really get into Killzone that much. While Killzones' graphics blow Halos' away, Halo just is more fun imo. Gameplay > Graphics.

I find the online structure of Killzone 2 is much more rewarding then that of Halo 3. The badge system allows for changes in play style, while the clan system allows for a great competitive aspect. IMO Halo 3 can't compete

Both are great games, are they not allowed to co-exist?

lundy86_4

One is PS3 exclusive. One is 360 exclusive. There is no co-existing in such a situation.

Whhhhhhy God whhhhhy? :cry:

They're both great games.

i agree 100%. Damn fanboys and the fact they havent played KZ2/H3, or neither. Well, I say 'Whatever'.

Eh, both games left something to be desired. The story of Killzone 2 just wasn't cohesive enough and over far too quickly, while the level design of Halo 3 became grating; especially after the Cortana level. Maybe I'm just jaded when it comes to shooters, but there hasn't been a truly breathtaking one in quite some time.

why do you think it got a GOTY? why do you think that it is an award wining game? other than the best graphics award and idk the name of the others. your the Xobx fanboys that saw your freind playing it. just play the game on a FullHD TV and set the Gamma nearly full and see why it is better than all the FPS games out there

I concluded last night that Killzone 2 is one of my favourite FPS's of all time. I've been gaming since I was like five and grew up on Doom. I believe that the first person shooter's true spiritual home is on the PC, which has presented in my mind a general bias against console shooters. It makes no difference and that's saying a lot.

Killzone 2 is an awesome game - not for its single player (which is very decent itself) but for its multiplayer. It just kicks ass. It gets intensely chaotic with all the stuff going on, it's bloody fun and you won't find a multiplayer like it anywhere else. Should be said again that the graphics are freaking amazing (for consoles). People keep trying to label this game "generic" when its entirely its own beast. Sure it has influences of modern day shooters, but it is still very distinctive, which is probably one of the reasons why the mainstream hasn't flocked to it in droves. I love the game.

I can see why people are so quick to dismiss it since it really doesn't play like the Halos or the Modern Warfares. If you take your time with the game and see what it's all about, you just might see how awesome it is. Come to think about it, it's my favourite game this gen, hell maybe even one of my favourites of all time.

Exactly. I wonder if when some people post these opinions, they think we've all been sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to hear which is the better game.

I enjoyed both games but to say KZ2 was repetitive when the ending of halo 3 was a similar driving sequence to the first one where we had to drive to the ship to escape with our lives as the planet fell apart, talk about repetitive.

I've never fully played Halo 3 (only parts of it) and I like Killzone 2 better, and not just for the graphics. And I also like the heavy controls, they feel awkward at first but once you get used to them they work and feel great. Plus I love the cover system, every FPS should have it.

Mostly true but real world numbers in scoring, sales & amount of gamers still playing the game does indeed speak volumes in this comparison.:P

Killzone 2 is actually a game which I think would be worse if used with K+M. I don't think K+M could accurately reflect the weight in its controls and it would lose that whole aesthetic. It's definitely not a twitch shooter like practically everything else out there.

When I finished KZ2's campaign I felt the same way I did after playing the original Gears of War:

Wow, the technical accomplishments here are astounding. Too bad there's no substance.

The lack of a story really dragged those games down for me. Now Halo 3 had a story, but it wasn't as technically advanced as it should have been, starting with the graphics. They looked like they were half a step up from the original Xbox. Both games would have been panned by players if it wasn't for their online.

Singleplayer wise, they're both pretty ****ing forgettable and boring. They had their moments of awesomeness, though i have a feeling they were awesome only because the rest of the game was so damn average in comparison. At least KZ2 had some cool gunplay though.

What I really liked about Killzone 2 was the graphics, animation and the structure of the multiplayer.

But what won me over to Halo3 was the online co-op through the campaign, the skulls/scoring metagame through the campaign, the almost ridiculous amount of game type customization, Forge, Theater (which works in all online and offline modes) and the easy way with which you can share recorded Theater video, snapshots, and custom game types with the rest of the community.

i like the way KZ2 feels, its very rewarding when you shoot someone up. it feels like you are really aiming your gun. other shooters auto aim and such. and lets face kz2 is one intense game.

No, killzone 2 actually takes aiming skill, Halo 3 is a sprintless, recoilless slow moving noob fest with boring game modes.

Both singleplayers were real boring imo and I could finish neither one.. Halo 3's multiplayer was more enjoyable, KZ2's multiplayer wasn't bad though.

noob fest? guess you never played any Ranked games
