Crytek themselves said it was going to look better than Killzone 2. They started the comparison


i dont know if they actually specified killzone, but again the single player should look better imo, would have to look a bit better though.

They've been pretty arrogant when it comes to other shooters, especially Killzone 2. From what I've seen in this thread and from what I've been reading on Gaf, Killzone 2 is still better looking despite being two years old. I honestly think the environments in Halo: Reach even look better than what was shown in the screen shots shown earlier in the thread. 

The first link wasn't actually anyone at Crytek who made the comparison. It was the sci-fi author they hired to do the single-player storyline. He has nothing to do with computer graphics and little to do with Crysis 2 other than the story. It was his own personal opinion often quoted as "Crytek's arrogance".

The second link and quotes were based on what people had said to him and not his first-hand experience (he even states he is unable to make a proper comparison as he wasn't allowed to see Killzone 3 in 3D).

It seems to me the gaming media are just putting a lot of quotes out of context and giving the impression that Crytek are this arrogant company when they're just trying to sell their engine. Any company can come off as arrogant with this treatment.
