It's a good game? Pretty much the only reason.

Apart from when Lems need to use it as "ownage", which gets old, fast.

It's one of the most epic, brilliant and simply godlike game ever to open the door to the video game world this generation. Also, about 30 % have purchased this godlike gift.

lol you put only in the same sentence as 10 million (copies sold). People still talk about games older than Halo 3, maybe people like the game go figure.

That's just how I would describe Halo 3, sorry. It's not my fault Killzone 2 will be forgotten quickly and people still talk about the most played Xbox 360 game of 2007 and 2008.

There are still people who like it and play it. Lots. In fact, more than a lot of new games that are out right now. That right there makes it enough to be a topic of conversation. As for your second sentence, I'm going to assume your trying to troll out lems.

Because it's basically the 'Mario' for the XBOX.

Master Chief is pretty much the poster child for microsoft now, like Mario and Link are for Nintendo. Sony doesn't really have one, but they have gobs of third party characters.

There's a series called Metal Gear Solid. Google it and read about it. It's fascinating.

considering what it offered at the time it came out compared to other FPS and how refined it is , offering a Stage building mode and Theatre mode where you can record videos , transfer them and etc (COD4, R2 and Killzone 2 dont offer either) I think its maybe the only FPS this gen worthy of a 10 , Crysis probably is too but I havent played it.

Xbox 360 will go down in history as the console with the most beloved and critically acclaimed games this generation, for sure. So if it has few games, the other consoles have nothing, sorry.

Killzone 2 is nothing, OK? Its sales show that not too many are interested in it. Within a short time, it will be forgotten. Modern Warfare on PlayStation 3 will bury it.

I own it, it's a pretty generic fps. Nothing that special about it. I did however like the first halo a lot when it came out.

While I rarely play it anymore H3 still has insane legs....What was the number released on how many matches have been played? The total sales for the game is crazy...and they just continue to grow...That impressive however you want to try to spin it

I think Halo comes up more in cow's threads then they do lems.....That tells yea something about how strong the game STILL is...

it's a fantastic game, with a huge install base and its less than 2 years old? you're surprised people still talk about it?

halo 3 doesn't have to be bad for killzone 2 to be good children just play your games and take a nap

To completely dismiss the game as "nothing" shows that you either didn't:

-Have a valid comeback for him

-Never played Killzone 2

I'm guessing both. Simply put the consensus that while KZ2 is a graphically stunning game, more people prefer Halo 3 in terms of popularity. People need to get off of this BS about pitting these two games against each other.

yes ps3 owners just deperately needed a killer FPS and they will do anything to rationalize (JUST LIKE CHRISTIANS!) anyway besides incredible audiovisuals killzone 2 is just so so textbook i have no idea why some can't see past it, if it had call of duty 4 graphics we wouldn't be talking about this game.

Because people are tired of talking about Killzone 2. lol!! A game that hasn't sold over 10 million copies and has an even smaller attach rate. Halo 3 sales have actually increased since KZ2 launched.

well i guess different people have different tastes. I think Halo 3 is great because of the FUN i have, not because it innovated anything, Same goes with Killzone 2, it didnt bring anything new, but it was fun. When i think of generic FPS, i think of Soldiers of Fortune, Blacksite Area 51, Conflict Denied Ops, Frontlines, FPSs like that.

well, maybe it has something to do with the Ad campaign they had to go with that game... it was really memorable.

as for the game itself? ummm close to 10 mill... on 1 platform... you do know that that is very very good, right? I can think of only Nintendo games that has surpassed that. apart from the PC games: Sims, and wow.

that aside... I did like the 1st one, but both 2 and 3, were not really in my taste...

If selling 10 million is "only selling 10 million" then the only game out there that has sold well in the last ten years is Wii Fit.

It's mostly because of the vast online community, I guess. It's a lot of fun to play. I personally don't see it as the best game ever, but it is very enjoyable. It's easy to lose track of time with it.

halo is fun as hell but i think its most loved because its UNIQUE

every other shooter tries for the same thing and plays the same way, rumble cover to cover, 2 shot kills, take cover allies vs. axis lol

there is no other shooter like halo

it's just good old fashioned sci-fi fun

near-flawless gameplay a very well made game

can you people actually call yourselves intelligent human beings and not be able to fathom a way as to why some people might like this game?


what is it? the fact the it has vehicles? color? more than 1 enemy? a story?


what is it that is so bad about halo that leaves people awed by how people could possibly like it?
