those facts speak more of the companies and the franchises than they do for halo3 or kz2.

and it's kind of hard to have the mp numbers without the sales. personally i found the marketing campaign the microsoft did for halo3 to be quite shameful. it worked of course, the cult of halo drank the kool-aid and waited for the spaceship that never came.

sony did next to nothing to promote killzone, and it still sold 750K in the first day. the bottom line is that killzone's mp will be around for a very long time.

the only consideration the OP needs to make his decision is what kind of shooter he wants.

 

 

Of course its the OP's decision, but Kool-aid is hearsay. Many people have played Halo, enjoyed it and are still playing. KZ2 was a great shooter, but just isn't a cut above the offerings Halo 3 gives.You're speaking based on opinions rather than multiplayer offerings, and track record, and the added fact that Halo 3 is overall more affordable in the long run. He gets a cheaper game that will eventually end up lasting him a longer amount of time than KZ2.

 

it wasn't hearsay...it was humor. 

 

i will agree that halo's mp is more robust than kz.  that is true.  however, some people (raises hand) buy shooters for the campaign too, and in that dept sales mean jack shit.  i'm on my second time through kz on elite, and i am bloody loving every minute of it again.

 

like i said before, if he wants more of the same in a pc shooter, then halo is the clear choice. 

 

as good as kz's mp is, i think it still has some way to go before it approaches the masterpiece that is cod4.  only 5 game types and no party feature are pretty big blemishes.

 

and speaking of opinion, that's exactly what you are doing when you say halo will last him longer.  i'm sure he will be able to play halo next year as well as kz.  it won't be on the same xbox, but you didn't say anything about that lasting long.
