Forums - Gaming - Why does halo 3 have higher ratings than killzone 2?

Halo3 has more features. Forge, split-screen, split-screen online, you can take pictures, the Audio is more clear and the maps are alot smaller so theres more action happening.

Halo 3s score is high, but its consumer reception justifies the high scoires. Halo 3s online gameplay is 2nd to none in quality and more people will buy Halo 3 after Killzone 2's launch than will buy Killzone 2 for this fact. You may prefer other styles of game better, but its difficult to say that the multiplayer gameplay in Halo 3 lacks any in quality.

If you think Halo 3s multiplayer lacks quality, then its because your opinion lacks quality and you cannot see how others may enjoy something you do not. So long after the hype has died down, more people will choose to play Halo 3 than they will Killzone 2.

This isn't to say that theres anything particularly wrong with Killzone 2, its just that Bungie got more things right.



Tease.

the online, there are millions of players online, theres a reason why it sold way more than killzone 2, thats because consumers simply think it's more fun.

Because the internet will implode if HALO is scored lower than 90.

Rather an odd question really: trying to ask people to explain what is a matter of personal taste; and not just that but asking us to explain other people's personal taste preferences.

Firstly to the OP: maybe, just maybe KZ2 is a must have for PS3 owners who are fans of FPS games. I dabble in FPS but it is far from my preferred genre. So I might hire it to do the story mode one day, but that's about it. If I owned a 360 I'd have the same attitude to Halo. And given Halo "only" has ~10 million sales a MAJORITY of 360 owners probably have the same view, even in America Halo 3 is owned by a minority of 360 owners.

I think the respective reviews on this site give you the reason. Halo 3 got a 10 for value, KZ2 got a 9 (though KZ2 gets 9.1 overall and H3 8.8 overall; negligible difference at the end of the day). Many players will eventually give primacy to value over the other elements (as long as gameplay and presentation are of reasonable quality) because being able to play a game over and over with the same level of enjoyment as the first time is a big deal.

Great post dude. respect.



While I think both games are horribly overrated, Halo 3 is clearly a better game in all areas except graphics.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Hmmm......Because Halo 3 is better?



Hype.
