One thing that Killzone 3 has over halo and Cod ( besides graphics) is the new brutal melee kills. They are way cooler than the melee kills in halo reach and the beat the heck out of call of duty simple knife slash. It's so much more satisfying in killzone 3 getting behind someone and slit their throat or jamming a knife in someones eye or breaking their necks. Just pure awesomeness!! Anyone else agree/ disagree?

Well I just wanted to say something postive about killzone 3 since trolls on SW like to bash it even though it's not a bad game.

They take way too long, and they happen randomly, sometimes you only do a regular melee attack, which now does pretty much nothing, I preferred the knife from KZ2.

I could see how "cinematic" melee kills could take away from gameplay. I'm glad CoD doesn't have anything like this. It would slow the gameplay down and randomly landing a dramatic melee kill could, in turn, get the player meleeing killed in the process. From my perspective though, I almost never melee in CoD, so it wouldn't bother me either way.

I think KZ is lame, KZ2 was ok but the controlles sucked ahrdcore, but all the sony fans defended them like it was 'supposed' to be that way for realism, lol. Now wehave Kz3 I bought it the campain is ok, but I never bothered to finish it. The mp is a joke I was sniper/invisible and was top 3 everytime in the mp matches. I have never reaaly been a big fps mp guy so I enjoyed it just as much as halo, a few days. Mp fps games, yawn

A simple knife slash is all you need, you don't need to go into a 4 second animation to kill someone.

I always thought that the Helghast were the stupidest s***heads on Earth (or Helghan, whatev) when I got close enough to melee kill them. So no, not really for me.

It's true, I just use infiltrater and unlimited sprint to get in the general area of the enemy (up close to them obviously) and hit melee. Even if i'm not looking at them or a run past a little the auto melee system still kicks on 80% of the time. And the animations are far to long and random. I like the Halo, and CoD (I hate COD too) systems of melee a bit better. KZ3 still rocks though, the online has been a little laggy for me the past few days, anyone else?

They're kinda cool, but I like BFBC2's melee kills a lot more than CoD. CoD's melee are so fast and so efficient in a large area that it's completely implausible. At least there's an actual human movement in BC2 and you actually aim somewhere instead of slashing like crazy.

As far as Killzone 3's melee kills are concerned, I agree they're cool-looking the first few times, but they kinda mess up the flow of the game a bit. I guess I'll get used to it though.

I actually don't like the Brutal Melee system in the multiplayer. It makes my favorite class the Infiltrator (formerly known as the Saboteur), and not to mention the Marksman, pretty overpowered with all the cloaking and disguising going on. I preferred the smooth animation of casually running up to your enemy and jamming the butt of your gun into his face --and then doing it again or repeatedly until dead. That way, it wasn't an instant kill, and killing was more focused on the skill of the gun, which might I remind everyone was obviously unfavorable to many as it was deemed "unplayable" by some :P though I greatly enjoyed it.

I won't doubt that it is better than CoD since that's not so hard to accomplish, but Halo's executions are pretty well done. In Halo, the executions are length-of-holding-the-button-or-whatever sensitive so that one may choose whether or not he wants to assassinate or just melee. In Killzone 3, you will only melee with the butt of the gun if you are about 5 feet away or so, and sometimes because of the distance, the hit will not register. Any other time, no matter how quickly or softly you hit that L1 button (or R3 is you like the alternate control scheme), you will grab your enemy's back to slit his throat, grab his head to gouge out his eyes, or lock him in position to stab him in the chest.

The brutal animations, while interesting in singleplayer, do not in my opinion transfer over very well in KZ3, especially when you can run up to someone who is shooting at you and slit his throat. On the other hand, in Halo Reach you can only execute from behind. On a final note, my favorite brutal melee is where you grab the back of the enemy's head and thrust your knife into his eye! Awesome:!:

You are playing with 12 year olds though. Sony just doesnt pack in a mic with every PS3 like MS does.

i agree but in my eyes killzone3 does alot of things better than every shooter out here. one is the realistic heavy controls, its awesome. its not mindless run and gun, killzone feels so realistic with controls. i should know i use to be a soulja. killzone3 is shooter game of the year in my eyes

It has more than one aspect over those two franchises.

If any one aspect should be singled out, though, it's gunplay. Both Halo and CoD lack any sort of worthwhile gunplay... both too arcadey in their efforts to match the ambition of their games.

I find it more brutal in Halo: Reach when anElite stomps down on a back ofa Spartan and stabs him/herwith an energy sword.

Yeah they do kick ass, nothing better than gouging a Helghasts eyes out, or jamming your knife in their eye socket.

How can anyone say they actually like COD knifing? It's the cheapest and most noob form of FPS knifing ever; it's just a 'swipe' that looks and feels cheap and amature. Not to mention the commando type lunge and the fact that you don't even have to actually touch the enemy to kill them. The hitbox for knifing players has a 360 degree radius or something.
