no matter how much I love killzone 2, I think people really over state how good the visuals are, granted the game looks great, but it is the most colorless game on the planet, even less colorful than madworld, everything looks so monochromatic and dead (and as we all know less colorful textures compress more easily)
plus some effects look downright bad, like fire, the balcony scene near the end of the game is a prime example, if your not worried about spoilers, or have played the game through, watch the last fight, the fire looks like a cycling bitmap,
coupled with the 30 fps at best with loads of frame rate issues it is a great looking game, but a lot of people are just glazing over its flaws
modern warfare 2 on the other hand, which I can't stand, does look comparable in those screens that are posted with more colorful and alive worlds,
plus it runs at about twice the framerate, which means that it is drawing everything 2 times for killzone 2 drawing once
plus showing just still to prove a point does nothing, there is more to visuals than just still appearance, if that is all that matter the sega master system would have been nearly on par with the genesis and snes, but the games with great still ran at appalling frame rates
regardless I like killzone 2 more and would much rather be playing than mw2

Long story short, you don't like the art direction. We're talking technically.
