Wow, February. This is perfect timing by MS, this will really play down Killzone 2 as it now has competition in February. Looks like KZ2 wont be as successful.

 

Sarcasm? LOL.

 

No actually its not. The Halo name alone will make ppl say "kill wha??" And not to mention the big bucks that Microsoft will probably spend on marketing this game.

Maybe. Depends on the marketing assault. RTS game on a console is a hard sell to the halo crowd.

That is true but its still competition to KZ2 cuz I was under the impression that nothing was launching in February so it would sell good just because theres nothing else to buy.



Ensemble Studios FTW! (i'm sorry but this is true!)

SnakeEyez is right.

The simple fact that a Halo game will release in February poses a challenge to Killzone 2.

I hate RTS games, but I'll give the demo a try. I'm open to buying it if I like it.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
