Head to Head

[Michael-5]

I voted Left 4 Dead 2, but it barely won. Both games are great, but they both have strong weaknesses which make me want to never play these games again after I beat them and spend 10 hours online.

Left 4 Dead 2 didn't improve Left 4 Dead that much. It's really short, and when you play with random people, the experience can be fun as hell, or a waste of time. Multiplayer is unbalanced, one team is often far better then the other, and to be honest the game just lacks content.

As for Killzone 3, the campaign is fun as hell, but there are serious flaws to the game design. First of all, I can't continue a co-op campaign in single player or vice versa, this is a huge b***h for me, so much I wouldn't even consider this a co-op game. It's the most annoying thing not being able to finish a game because of this and having to start all over. On top of this, multiplayer is even more unbalanced, however this time it's because of the maps. Every map has a spot where you can just go on kill streaks without contest, and too many people camp.

So really L4D2 wins because there are less flaws. Killzone 3 overall is a better game. The campaign is the best in the series, and it's one of the best looking FPS's I've ever seen. Environments are believable and beautiful, voice acting is great, and you actually care for the story. Take away annoying Rico, and make the game more co-op friendly, and it would rank among the better FPS's this gen. As for L4D2, fun as hell game, especially when you have 4 people you know to play with, but when you're on your own, after your friends have moved on, it's a drag.
