^^This. It wasn't a Halo killer, because the mythical Halo killer I don't think exists, because it has it's niche and following and the only thing that could kill Halo would be a bad Halo game. When something is pumped up like that and doesn't deliver, it is going to get trashed by a lot of gamers.

I don't care about his #1 reason, but I agree wholeheartedly with #2. The Killzone 2 engine is fantastic, but was absolutely wasted on the art-style of this game. You don't have  to have a color saturated game like Halo to look good, but a few different environments and some more colors would have made this the best looking game ever. That (and the subtle animations) is what makes Uncharted 2 so damn good looking.

The biggest problem I have with Killzone 2 is the fans. They get the whole PC gamer complex, where if you don't get it or like it you're a noob and don't understand gaming. I've personally been gaming for 27 years, probably since before a lot of KZ2 fans were born, but if it makes you feel better to think that you are a better gamer because you like Killzone, good for you.

The 2 main problems with KZ2 were

1. Rico
2. The got rid of secondary fire, WTF!

The Helghast were driven of the planet Vekta like the Palestinians from Palestine.

Sure, call them terrorists. But it's the "good" people that made them who they are.

Besides that the Helghast are just bad ass.

I'm not starting anything about colors :p

There actually not bad. They're more like rebells. They're laws and how they enforce them may seem evil though. Like the death sentence for a uniform violation.

There's really not that much wrong with KZ2 . You have to understand that COD is a more popular game and games like Halo and GeOW are on the X360 which is known mainly for "shooting games".

KZ2 sold 2 million on the ps3 which is a console not known mainly for shooters and that is a tremendous success.

On the other hand ,I'ld tell you what I didnt like about it (no game is perfect).
The characters feel oversized and move like tanks, some maps are too small to fir 32 players on,
search and destroy/ protect got 16 vs 16 fighting all in one spot. But apart from these things I mentioned, It is an awesome game.

No the enemy side are the cooler people and their not neccacerily all that bad...if you read the whle storyline hting thie ISA arnt exactly heroes either....but nayway whpo cares if their the bad guys,if you can show me a cooler picture of osme race/enemy i wll bow down...i mean just look at them! yeah in my profile pic they do look orange...

1. Bad Story
2. Horrible colors
3. More complicated controls then were needed(People like to keep it simple)
4. No splitscreen co-op
5. No splitscreen multiplayer
6. Too much profanity
7. PSN
8. Pistol and punching are to overpowered

^^^ The pistol's really weak. The Revolver on the other hand

What colors? D= You mean gray, orange, black and blue with some green thrown in? I like those colors! D=

Beyond the incredible atmosphere, it just wasn't really a good game, more average at best. There are other much better games in every aspect except atmosphere and just really wasn't anything special.

The only thing new it tried to do was the cover which the best you can say is it worked most of the time.

Oh, and it's funny how they tried to make you feel for the characters in the huge overly dramatic moments but you really couldn't care less about them.
