What's the point of this comparison? If it's visually best exclusive FPS showdown then why isn't it KZ2 vs Halo: Reach? I'm assuming Halo: Reach is the visually best exclusive FPS on 360, maybe I'm wrong.

Besides I always thought Halo was about the gameplay and Bungie never tried to max out the visuals.

Seems like a comparison with no real point to it.


It's just for fun. It's interesting to see games pitted against each other randomly and just like the Uncharted 1 vs Enslaved comparison, it's a pretty interesting topic. 

Also, Halo: Reach isn't the best looking FPS on the 360, it's performance suffers at some points and it's visuals are far more about art style than it is tech. 

They also specifically mentioned in the article that Killzone 2 would be a pointless comparison, because everyone's already analysed the game and it hasn't got much competition. They felt that Resistance deserves a go and so they pitted it against a comparable game.

Resistance 2 was never touted as a visual powerhouse, neither was Halo: Reach, it's just for fun and it's just as much about performance, than it is visuals. This isn't a competition about which is the better game, just which is the better running and looking game.

Bungie have always put gameplay first, but with Reach they wanted a new engine and with that new engine they introduced new tech.
