Forums - Sales - Halo 3 > Killzone 2 this April in America (NPD)

Honestly I have no issue with there being too many threads about this subject. To be truthful I think it is quite lovely. The truth was that KZ2 was the zealots crutch of choice for ages. They took a deep pleasure from cracking it over other members heads, and even more pleasure in proclaiming the game a Messiah. Now that these claims have been proven false it is only right that the people that put up with the crap get their turn at bat. Those with reason need not feel offended, as in those that made rational points, or at least attempted to use a real logic.

Speaking to which game is of higher quality. People have personal preferences, but I will say this. Halo 3 has the higher average review score according to both Metacritic and Gamerankings. I know a lot of members only accept these numbers when they suit their own purposes. Even so I will say it again. A higher average review score, and if you say you only trust one source. I say your ass better stick to that story, because if you ever use a compiler your dancing with a public flogging.

Also speaking to certain members that shall remain nameless. Your personal opinion about which is best is null and void if you do not actually own all the games mentioned. Do not insult our intelligence. We can check your games library. Oh and do not feed us the lie about playing a friends house. Even if you actually did do this. I am willing to wager it probably wasn't the kind of quality time needed to make a real assessment. Fifteen minutes of learning controls does not make for a very thorough experience.

I think I agree with you in saying that competitive aspect of halo is not really as good as COD (and I assume KZ2)...like I really dont care what my rank is or if I gain much XP. Its more about..."will I team kill this match...will I teabag enough...will I get an overkill (4 kills in 4 seconds)...will I trash talk after the match if we win...will I nail that sticky or jump with the Warthog jeep "...etc.

So if you are in to competitive gamplay and care about ranking up...Halo 3 may not be as good as COD4(or KZ2).

 

well, the clan system in kz2 is certainly very competitive. the valor system makes it that way. Most people who play kz2 also seem to care a lot about xp gained and their stats (cod4 to a much lesser extent) but that may be because everyone who bought the game is extremely hardcore while the rest sent hate mail to Guerilla complaining that the game wasn't Zone of Duty 4.

I'm pretty sure there are competitive aspects to Halo 3 as well. Don't they even have national championships for Halo? Yiou just happen to be a more casual player. With 10 million sold, there are bound to be tons of casuals.

Aslo, there is a misconception that kz2 is similar to cod4. as someone who's extensively played both, I'd be the first to tell you that they are very very different. I don't know why people think the games are similar.

halo 3 is just plain and simple, a better fps than killzone 2

Base on what do you conclude this?

Graphics?  Does Halo 3 have bots? Multiplayer functionality, besides modes?  Halo 3 has aim assist, and KZ2 doesn't?

 

Only case I can see you see is that the number of modes in Halo 3 is off the chart.  Not sure what other measure you can use.

 



Why would PS3 fanboys need to make excuse for Killzone 2, the guy in the article already did that. Just read the article and him giving all kind of reasons why KZ2 sold less than Halo 3.

Halo 3 is my game of this geneneration thus far. And only game this gen that goes in to my top 10 games I've ever played. Its one of the few HD console games that made sure group play and high fun factor are always present...and not really put much emphasis on things like draw distance, polygon counts in models and amazing textrures...sacrificing goodies like split screen and coop.

I have not played killzone 2 much but from what Ive seen and played, it will never have the charisma, universal appeal and sheer fun factor Halo 3 does.

Don't get me wrong, Killzone 2 is one bad ass shooter...but it is more comparable to COD4 than halo 3. There is nothing else like Halo 3 available this gen IMO...other than maybe L4D which is similarly unique in its own way.

Now as far as sales, I dont think higher selling games always represent better quality games...but in this case, I agree with this logic.

you contradict yourself mate.

As far as I'm concerned kz2>>cod4>>>>>>halo 3. This isn't fanboyism. It took me 12 months to play cod4 online for 14 days. I've already played kz2 online for 13 days. KZ2's clan system is just excellent!

As for halo 3, I tried and tried to enjoy both halo 1,2 and 3 (I have an xbox and I live in the US, you can be sure that I have access to multiple 360s) but just never got the appeal of the series.

I went back to play cod4 recently and it just didn't feel as good anymore...hopefully MW2 has an ace up its sleeve.

Frankly, a smaller community has it's benefits. Those of us who played lots of sc4 online had that kind of bond. I'm starting to see recurring PSNs in KZ2, we'll see how it plays out.

 

 

 

Omg how is that not Fanboyism...The fact that COD4 has a way bigger Fan base on the PS3 than Killzone should show how the average PS3 owner feels...I personally Like the Class system in Killzone better than the CoD4 one...But that does not make the CoD4 classes = a dung bag...And Kz2 Clan is system is the way newer one...So anything else but excellent would of been a huge draw back...

I don't understand why it took you 12 months to play Cod4 online...Pls explain?

You say you went back to play Cod4 and it did not feel as good...What lvl Rank Are you?

 

You might find the benefit in a small community..But I find lots of draw backs...One for instance is player availability...IN Cod4 you can play 8 hours straight(On Xbox) and not run out of People to Play...Where as a smaller comunity would not be beneficial for lets say someone who works late or can only play at certain times....The Few times I played Killzone 2 I had no problem getting into action....But There where a lot of Half filled rooms Or was unable to get into the Long winded Lobby becuase everyone would be clustered there(Proly clan vs Clan)...And fighting Bots is stupid....

I'm not sure what your getting at...But KillZone does have AIM assists...No Halo 3 does not need Bots..There is like almost 10million people that own the Game..And constantly play it..Since Halo 3 is always on the XboxLive top ten

And I agree with deathgod33...Halo 3 is plain and simply put better than kz2...lots of Zealots will want to talk about Graphics and Technicals and a bunch of no factor things..But won't admit that not even the Ps3 userbase cares for KZ2...



 



its a no brainer

Halo 3 has 4 player coop, Forge (tons of custom modes), theatre mode, a better story, more weapons/vechicles/air to use.

The sales are just proof the PS3 fanboy army is shrinking, they got the mouths but dont have the numbers.



wow...epic ass whooping.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

well.....

how about story, weapons, vechicles/air, 4 player online coop, more maps, Forge, Theatre mode, enemy variety,

And lets not forget a higher Metacritic/Gamerrankings and sales.

Bots? LOL who needs bots when there is no shortage of online people? Maybe with KZ2 sales and dropoff rates bots are essential?
