May I ask what the hell Halo 3 added to the FPS mould? Powerups? Um... I'm out. Halo is another matter, but nobody's saying it's better than Combat Evolved...at least, I'm not.

750k is damned good for a PS3 game. It's higher than World at War. Higher than a Call of Duty game. Higher than the sequel to CoD4. The third highest PS3 debut. Besides, do sales really say anything about quality? Is Wii Play better than Okami? Is Nintendogs better than everything released on an HD console? Is Wii Sports the best game ever made?

Resistance 2? Very well. It's a great game. Innovative, tries to be different, and the co-op is great, but overall a little lacking in polish. Online multiplayer isn't brilliantly implemented, but it's functional. Single player is a joke, like most FPS games (but not Killzone 2 or Halo 3). Solid 8.8/10 for me. That's the way I've felt since I first got the game...

Pre-release hype is no indication of quality, obviously. Post-release hype is another thing. Look at the Sony forum. How many KZ2 threads do you see? It doesn't matter that several of them are negative. All that means is that people care. Think back to November. How many "Resistance 2 has X non-existent problem" threads did you see? Perhaps a tenth of all the KZ2 threads we are seeing?

After perhaps an hour of play, I knew that Resistance 2 wasn't a 9/10 game. After seven hours of play, I know that Killzone 2 is. You'd be hard pressed to find one person on this forum who believes that Resistance 2 is better than Killzone 2. The latter is just so polished, so well designed, so incredible, that occasional frame rate hiccups and "control issues" can be forgiven.

I'll admit, Killzone 2 added very little to the FPS. A first person cover system. Some great new weapons. But for the most part, it refined and improved. It took concepts that already exist, and made them better. Halo 3 did the same thing, just not (in my opinion) as well.

That is why I believe Killzone 2 is better than Halo 3, better than Resistance 2, better than CoD4, the best FPS so far this gen.

Funny on the surface but when you take a look beneath there beats an angry, jealous mind you wouldn't trust with a kitten.

@OP: ROTFLASTC!

Yes, it is all my opinion. And I have actually played all of the games I named.

One billion what? Halo 3 sold nowhere near that much. Very well. Why do I think is Killzone 2 better than Halo 3? (the article is a joke, in case you didn't notice)

-The graphics are better

-First person cover system

-Iron sights

-The AI is WAY better.

-The weapons are more interesting.

-The enemies are iconic, not random generic aliens. Yes, I know, they aren't original. But Helghast are more fun to kill than Grunts.

What Halo 3 has over Killzone 2:

-Forge

-Co-op

-Better protagonist

-etc.

See, I have an opinion, I prefer one of them, I don't say the other one sucks. Halo 3 did nothing whatsoever to advance the genre. There, I said it. It's a shame, because Combat Evolved is one of the most important games of all time, and one of the best shooters. It created the dual analog control scheme which every FPS and its dog uses nowadays.

So would you care to say what you dislike about Killzone 2?

lmfao, this is my favorite part:

"While this is never explicitly mentioned in Halo 3, Bungie has since confirmed that, like Dumbledore in Harry Potter, Master Chief is a pedophile. We don't have a link to where Bungie said this, but Bungie definitely said it, which is the point...

"Master Chief is a pedophile," we think Bungie probably said once. "He is one. We even drew some pictures of him doing it, and that means he is one.

Gaming "journalist" is butt hurt, acts childish and sinks low because his favourite FPS is getting slammed by a newcomer.

Boo hoo.

The article is not suppose to be taken seriously?? <- sarcasm (for those special people out there!)

^^
Asperger rulez, didn't you know?

I don't understand. Is it possible to find this completely unfunny, not care whatsoever about Killzone 2 and still have a sense of humour? Admittedly, I grinned about the blood packs soaking up into someone's boots to heal them, but the rest I thought to be utterly humourless.

This is purely coincidental and completely unrelated to this article, don't put much into it, but my butt really hurts this morning. (See, this is an example of bad humour, you're more than welcome to criticise it).
