Forums - Gaming - KZ2 : halo killer ? yes or no

MontanaHatchet on 03 April 2009

Yes, Killzone 2 was totally supposed to kill Halo. That's why it came out a yearand a half after Halo 3.

*Sigh*

I don't even want to dignify people when they bring up unrealistic expectations, so I won't. I'm done here.

Frankly Killzone 2 is not a Halo killer. If Halo didn't set a benchmark in FPSs and online play there probably wouldn't even be a Killzone 2. This is a dumb discussion I don't know why anyone gives a shit.

I don't know my FPS history too well, but I believe that Half Life 2 set the benchmark for FPS and Team Fortress set it for online.  Also games like Quake and Unreal tournament.  Halo did bring these concepts to the consoles, however, so it can be credited for that.

Halo did regenerating health, which is in just about every FPS now. I'd also say Halo is the main reason why vehicle sections are virtually required in FPS games, if it wasn't one of the first to do it, then it was certainly the one to popularize it.

Quake was really the title that set the bar for online games. The Team Fortress style of class based play has seen a bit of a recent resurgence, but it wasn't that prevenlant up until a few years ago. Of all the Half-Life mods, Counter Strike did the most, such as a two weapon limit (something halo helped to popularize as well)

Of course Halos biggest impact is in the footprint its left on console multiplayer, not just online but LAN as well.

just for balance...

Neither gears, kz2 or cod are halo "killers".... its just so huge... almost a cult now, the online stats are insane. I doubt anything will "kill" halo.

call of duty 4 says hello!

CoD will never kill halo >_>

Regenerating health is not necessarily a good thing for a single player FPS.  I liked it better when damage actually meant something vs how you just "shake it off" nowadays.

Half life 2 had vehicles.  Mostly cars with miniguns attached to them

But those are just a couple comments I had.   I agree with your post.

By the term "kill" when refering to this... people mean by either quality or sales.

CoD4 killed Halo on both.

looking nice doesn't equal quality ...
