[QUOTE="lbjkurono23"][QUOTE="WhySoSerious300"]

Higgs are even better than Brutes. but the ATACs > All.

WhySoSerious300

how about the locust scum? they are also fun to kill :P

lol very fun to kill but extremely stupid especially the Theron Guards :lol:

They make up for their stupidity with their ability to no look you in the skull with a torque bow from a hundred feet away if you pop up for a few seconds.

No, it's a shame that they think helghast are better than grunts :P Grunts are funny

Ross_the_B0SS

Killing them is even funnier, especially with the confetti skull on.

Naw.. throwing a plasma grenade at them is the best!

Halo 3 got Killzowned by SonyPro. Pretty hilarious.

I can see people already up in arms about the graphics comparison in the bonus round because a little time has passed since Halo 3 released ....... but when Halo 3 released (while looking nice) , probably wasn't one of the best looking console games at the time. Killzone 2 is a freaking beast of a game , arguably the top console game right now with not much competition.

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.too_much_eslim

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

The impression I got from the article was that he played KZ2, but only read about Halo 3. Of course, I don't know this for sure, but the author doesn't go into enough detail for there to be any cogent discussion.

[QUOTE="5th_element"]Halo's SP is OK and is certainly better then killzone's!! also the most they can say is they are diff games......but saying MP is better is utter noncense.....halo 3 MP is out of this world!!...something else !!!...Killzone MP is great but ......its only great!jjenkins78x

Was going to say the same thing :lol:

Hey dude you should compare the ratings gamespot gave them........o that's right, gamespot rated Halo3 9.5 and K2 a 9.0 so your not gonna bother with this website anyway ;).moose_knuckler

Standards change dude, theres a reason why we aren't playing N64 FPS's, games keep modernizing, especially FPS's, the market is so saturated with this genre, FPS's are constantly doing more. You can't just look at scores when deciding what to play NOW. Maybe for deciding which was best for it's time. Which FPS do you think Gamespot would say is better, KZ2 or PD0? They both got a 9. And plus Cod4 beat out Halo for best FPS and it scores .5 less.Eddie-Vedder

This might scare you, but Jeff Gertsmann gave Halo 3 a 9.5 out of 10.

Can you guess what HE gave Killzone 2 over at Giantbomb? A perfect 5 out of 5.

If we're going by what the same person thought of both games, then Killzone 2 wins.

Agreed. I guess the fanboys are still P'oed on what KZ2 on the reviews. HATERS BE DAMNED!

[QUOTE="VoodooHak"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"] 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.Eddie-Vedder

Not that I really care about GamePro's opinion, I just found that the author was missing a couple key points that should have been considered in his judgment. Sparse paragraphs don't qualify as a decent comparison.

If anything, this comparison has shown me that these two FPS are more or less equal and game journalism is laughable.

Seriously, he gave extras and replayability to the game with no extra...

That depends on the flow of games, look at PD0 and the FPS's that came out after, Halo's Cod's etc. Some genre's take longer to evolve, FPS's tho are forced to push the envelope otherwise they just drown in the sea of other FPS's. And almost every gaming site gave "best graphics" to a console game, MGS4 won here, IGN, Giantbomb, Spike and a bunch of other places, Gametrailer's gave it to gears, I'm pretty sure they looked at what was achieved in graphics rather then how powersull your graphics card could strech textures and how much ram you had to process it all. In other words, they took platform into consideration.Eddie-Vedder

Gamespot, I believe, is the only site which had a "Best TECHNICAL Graphics Award"; which is based on objectivity, rather than subjectivity when it comes to just "best graphics" in general. When you look objectively at MGS4 and Crysis Warhead, you'd have to be a complete utter fool, or utterly blind, to say MGS4 is technically superior to Crysis.Stevo_the_gamer

Couth_

The comparison itself is breaking the game into components to get an overall picture - the inclusion of an "Overall" category seems unneeded. The winner of the "overall cateogry" should logically be the winner of the comparison itself. And as for replayability, the same could be said of Halo with metagame scoring, 4 person co-op, and Skull esster eggs, among other things.

I not knocking KZ2, I plan on buying it soon enough. But the comparison seems weak at best, from analytical standpoint.

I'm also slightly angry that he didn't give any reasons why KZ2 multiplayer is superior to Halo 3 multiplayer, merely stating that he *thinks* gamers will be drawn into the CoD4 like gameplay. Ignoring other factors of mutliplayer entirely, he doesn't even compare KZ2 clan support and web-portion to Bungie.net and Halo 3 theatre mode, party system or the customization among game types of either game. The advantages of dedicated servers vs H3's P2P (Although Bungie's netcode is beastly).This is a laughable comparison.

Well people act like Gamespot is full of staff who have the same exact opinions. Kevin VanOrd and Jeff Gertsmann are two very different people. Even then, Kevin VanOrd was all over Killzone 2 saying it set higher standards for the FPS genre, and that this is an absolute MUST buy game.
I think if we're going to compare the ratings, we minus well compare what the same guy who rated Halo 3 here thought of Killzone 2. Because ratings from person to person do indeed vary, and that's why they came out the way they did here at GS.

[QUOTE="killerfist"] About that, don't you think they gave it to MGS4 because it more of a technical achievement because the hardware is limited? Idk...that would make sense I guess.Stevo_the_gamer

Does it matter? He gave Killzone a PERFECT score. If you were to stretch that out into a 1-10 scale, it would stretch out to 10 then since a 10 here is considered a perfect score.
