people playing HALO 3 online every week, are more from KILLZONE 2 buyers...

So wait you guys are saying Killzone 2 had no hype around it? Just how bright is that PS3 shining? Cause It's certainly turning a lot of people into blind fanboys. PS3 was commercialized HEAVILY and should have sold a lot more. Atleast when I was watching my sports programing every commericial had friggin' Killzone 2 in it, and it was all over the magazines. No they didn't have Killzone soda, or Peter Jackson vying for rights to the series but it was pretty damn heavily publicized. In Europe it got It's own bundle for gods sake!

Believe me Killzone 2 did well with critics, but it's a flop sales wise. Wii Fit is really killing the game industry isn't it?

Killzone 2 is by far my favorite online game. I just don't like halo anymore.

damit u stupid fanboy.. only other fanboys called it that... like seriously,... i guess u dont realize that HALO is bundled now? hm shame on u

Love it or hate it halo has better sales, better reviews and is one of the most well supported games in the world that maintains its huge fanbase despite the fact that its several years old now.

But more then anything halo is the xbox's mario I'd be very surprised if any ps3 shooter could match it in sales, if cod 4 on the 360 couldn't do that then no ps3 shooter really has a chance.

Personal preferences are only important to the individual and really aren't that relevant when talking about the impact of any particular game on the world and espescially when talking about sales which are numbers which cannot be spinned. The game either sells more or it sells less. It sold less.

It is not fanboyism, I used the relative time spent to show that it has nothing to do with what game came out first but rather what game I find more addicting and thus better. I bought cod4 at launch like kz2. I officially stopped playing it when kz2 came out and temporarily when soul calibur iv and reistance 2 came out. I have accumulated 14 days online in all my cod4 playtime before I finally quit in feb 2009. I use 12 monthes instead of probably 15 because of the time I switched to sc4 as my primary online game.

I was primarily a free-for-all player in cod4 so my score isn't as high as it should be because you don't get that high of a score in FFAs as opposed to S&D and Headquarters otherwise but if you go by kill rank only (which is a better ranking for FFA players), the highest rank I reached was 12000. Last time I checked, I'm down to the 50,000s. I almost always came first in FFA games I took part in before I quit.

KZ2 on the other hand has been out for only 3 months and I'm eclipsing my total cod4 online playtime already. My kz2 profile is in my sig, follow the link if you don't believe me. If that doesn't show that I'm much more into this game, what does? What has this got to do with fanboyism? You think I'd torture myself playing hours and hours of kz2 if I found it boring, just because its a ps3 exclusive?

The drawbacks depend on what kind of player you are. i tend to like becoming familiar with the people I play with and technically speaking, all you need is 32 people online at a given time since you can play with people from any region. Even in soul calibur iv where I'm also known by a couple people, the few times I go back to play it, I still find games with ease. I may be playing the same people over and over but thats actually what I like about the small community....familiarity. Almost half of my friend's list is made up of sc4 players.

You haven't played kz2 anywhere as much as me so I think I have way more leverage to comment on the online system than you. There are always tons of rooms to choose from. If you choose a room with only 10 ppl, its your choice and even those tend to fill up quick depending on the rules of the game (at my level, people seem to prefer rooms with rpgs disabled). I don't know what level you are but I'm guessing you're probably a n00b so we're finding different games when we search. Since the game sold so "poorly", perhaps thats why you have trouble finding fellow low level player to battle with.

I didn't think a gold cross justified the pain of losing my favorite weapons...the rpd and m60 but I do have a golden m60 and would have a gold cross if I did prestige but I stayed at lvl 55 especially because of the m60. Who said anything about the campaign? I'm talking about the online components here.

It's all about whats fun. In my case, when my team obviously sucks, I just salvage as many kills as I can and try to maximize my pointage before the game ends

Halowned...

was up g im so KZ2 fuck the rest
