i agree with this, i liked halo 3 but killzone 2 is much much better. if they make a halo 4 i'd expect it to be better then killzone 2 though,

Hmm wasnt expecting that but I found killzone2 to be more enjoyable than halo3. So that seems about right from where I stand.

Agree minus Replayability and Multiplayer. Halo 3 has forge and Saved Films...and multiplayer is a tie.

Everything I've read about KZs single player game slates it yet they rate it as the best thing ever.

However, worse than that, Halo 3's Forge looses to KillZone2's nothing yep that's right they rates the extra nothingness in KZ2 higher than Forge in H3. How much baised bullcrud can you dishout in one serving.

Sorry but that comparison is just awful and I haven't played either game yet.

Well in the extras comparison they didn't mention Halo 3's theatre mode which imo is one of the best things about the game.

Nothing really. But I guessed before I clicked the link, for that reason. 9 times out of 10... you get the point.

the single player of killzone 2 beats halo's theater forge and single player modes all together. just one phase of killzone 2 trumps all of halo's features.

Very surprising.. Didn't expect that, well good for Killzone 2.. One thing is for sure.. Both are great console FPS's.. I will have to say one thing.. Who cares about the forge, when playing with my friends for the few months we were addicted to the game.. We rarely used that PoS forge ability.. IT is entirely too simplistic and weak, the original HL1 had a 10 times better map editor.. I will say that I prefer the matchmaking service of Halo 3 way more than Killzones one.. It felt way more competitive.

You can't really go by just the scores because Halo is an older game and as time goes on expectations for games and their quality goes up. I'm not saying Halo3 isn't deserving of a 9.5 I'm just saying it might not receive the same score now. As far as the article goes I pretty much agree with them on all points, minus the replayability because Halo has Forge and that does add to it. Although I will say I'm having a lot of fun with KZ2 right now and the multiplayer is awesome on KZ2.

I haven't played enough of Killzones 2 multiplayer to make a comparison, but I definitely think Killzone 2 has the better singleplayer.

It' pretty cool that Killzone 2 won. I wasn't expecting it.

Um I don't care about anything they say. They are pro Sony. They made way to many stupid articles that just didin't make sense. It is a poor magazine. I have been saying this for a long time.

Maybe I just missed it, but they didn't seem to mention Theatre or co-op or the near-infinite customizability of multiplayer. Hmmm.

I have been calling them pro Sony for a long time so it has nothing to do with today events. If halo had won I would have been shock because they are Pro Sony.

I like how they left out all of the online features Halo 3 has, and how it has co-op story mode play. And c'mon. Helghast are better than grunts? >.> Shame.

I think I'll go with the game that has more features.

You missed it; but it was ever so vaguely mentioned that it's evident just to how slipshod of a comparison it is. I expected an in-depth comparison, instead, we got a few sentences which contained no specifics.

kz2 wins features....with nothing? kz2 wins multiplayer with "customizable" characters when halo 3 still clock 300k people every day, have tournaments, more game modes, extreme depth, variety in game mods?

Unfortunately it does not work that way. The argument can be made that since it took longer to make, it had more opportunities to raise is score.

Perhaps the argument could be made that with more players, that would dictate shorter times for getting into matches and playing games?

The joke is their comparing a game that came out in 2007 to a game that came out in 2009.

One billion trillion pounds no ones comparing killzone 2 with another shooter in 2011 it just doesn't have the lasting power, the multiplayer, features and options simply aren't deep enough. The fact Halo 2 is still played to this day says it all.

They thought 50 Cent > Halo Wars. Oh and Haze, Conan, Full Auto, Mobile Suit Gundam, Dynasty Warriors > Too Human. Seriously though as much as I love KZ2, something would be amiss if it didn't beat Halo. Halo came out in 2007.
