So if those who claim Halo Reach is better than Killzone 2 then....

Why did Halo Reach score the same as Killzone 2 on Metacritic? We all know what it scored on Gamespot, but from a Metacritic point of view it's at the same level. Eh, oh well I prefer the weighty controls to the floating men, and that is what it comes down to is preference... right?

But I do hope Killzone 3 will be more precise than KZ2.

I bet this would be the perfect time to play the standards change over time card right? I wonder who loves that saying. . . .

regardless, its always preference, it has nothing to do with other peoples opinions. Make up your own mind instead of blindly following any random reviewers opinion.

Preference. Was this thread really worth the effort?mo0ksi

The fact that Reach is lower than Halo 2 and 3 on Metacritic is sad, because it kicks both of them to the curb.

its obvious sony payed off the reviewers:P

because if you're going to use scores, you have to use GS, and 9.5>9.0

in reality though, it does come down to preference, i'd say Halo reach has a much better campaign and way more content, but the substance of the competitive aspect is equal to that of killzone 2's imo.

I'm more surprised at the reviews: A 5 for Reach, a 6 for Killzone 2, LOL wut?

It's an opinion on who thinks what game is better.

This will of course change when Killzone 3 comes out, they changed it so much.

The truth of the situation is that, since KZ2 has the same MC of HR, KZ3 will probably score substantially higher than HR. Anyways, KZ3 has much more content and features for MP, and all of the criticisms of KZ2 have been more than fixed, on top of a "much longercampain"

halo does so much more its not even funny'

co-op, online split screen, forge etc. KZ2 was good but a pretty damn thin package compared to reach

and i wouldnt call a 9 a yr and a half ago the same as a 9 today

Well, I was expecting a better argument from the TC

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Yeah, but reviewers are supposed to be objective, and their clear inability to do so is pathetic.DarkLink77

They better work on the weapons.. KZ2 made a mind boggling decision with how low tech the weapons are.. Weapons today surpass the weapons in KZ2.. I mean its like the 24th century. Mankind has mastered space combat and space travel.. Yet the most advanced shotgun they have is a pump action with a flashlight attachment? When we already have highly advanced shotguns such as the AA-12. A fully automatic gas powered shotgun..

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] If they were objective the Halo series should be AA quality.kuraimen

For consoles when it comes to FPS's.. Yes.. Halo's multiplayer is second to none most times.. Things like being able to play 4 accounts online on the same system is groudn breaking.. Yet I have never seen any other console game come closer.

kz takes place 200 years before halo,on a side note halo's shotgun is pumpaction too

Killzone 2's multiplayer is quite mediocre where it seems the majority of players are fighting against the controls more then the actual enemy.. Watching two people medium distance trying to shoot one another is pathtetic.. They just stand and strafe alittel bit due to how clumsy the controls feel.. sSubZerOo

this is so true

Did you know that both of these games don't share roughly 40 of their reviews on Metacritic? That's nearly half of them!

There's a reason we use Gamespot scores on System Wars. Because you can actually compare scores because each game should be judged by the same standards here.

Comparing 40 exclusive Xbox reviews against 40 exclusive Playstation reviews is stupid

and like i saidits a a thin package compared to reach

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] No, not really....

DarkLink77

It doesn't make things much better than other lower scoring games. Shallow characters and story and mostly forgetable SP campaigns. The only thing it excels on is multiplayer and even that has other games matching it already.

True but this was just a example of 99% of ALL the weapons in the game.. Halo at least has some futuristic looking weapons with certain things that don't exist today..
