"Halo, Halo, Halo. Everyone talks about Halo. The original was cool -- flawed, but cool. This one, sporting a slicker graphics engine and an impressive array of multiplayer options looks even cooler. It's so pretty! Halo, Halo, Halo.
The long and short of it is that most first-person shooters rely on sheer technological wonder to sell themselves into the hearts of fans (DOOM III, for instance). How then can any PS2 title compete with Xbox's newer, shinier flagship when working with some comparatively antiquated hardware? Looks aren't everything.
What Killzone lacks in outright technical achievement, it makes up for with style. It's a gritty, believable world of peril. Everything just feels rights. The pacing is on and the action is on. Unfortunately, the gorgeous Halo 2 also boasts the same correct feel, good AI, solid storyline, and even some awesome multiplayer. It's an unfortunate situation brought about by the currently underwhelming power of PS2. I guess looks are everything...If the uber-powerful PS3 were in the mix and we were playing Killzone on it, my vote would have predictably swayed away from Halo. Don't worry, Killzone rocks...for a PS2 FPS. It's just not Halo."

Has this guy even played halo? what flaws is he talking about? with the awesom gameplay, stunning graphics, amazing vehicle usage, how can there be a flaw? and halo 2 is WAY more than graphics. halo 2 IS a better game so this guy should just get over it.


(PS im not dissing killzone, it will rock, but there are better games around)

yep. halo/halo2 are much better games. put simply, ps2 can't compete with them (not since gta3/vice city came out for xbox)

i think halo's uniqueness (is that a word??) made halo so popular. the ability to use vehicles to navigate the large levels faster, and to use them in multiplayer as well.

i totaly agree. it strayes away from all other FPS and sci-fi action/adventure games, and creates a totaly great experience. i dont know what this halo 2 "rep" is talking about.

you are right, he is a ps2 dumbass.

Halo1 had flaws, tho. repeated level design and repeated levels made for the 2nd half of single player much less interesting. multiplayer had a few crappy maps, and i have to BG and SW were part of these, tho they were the only big maps.

but halo1 had so many good features, too. lots of multiplayer mayhem. lots of different gametypes. and the most badass single player since...think of something cool.

and the pistol was lame in Halo1. i just played halo BG in CTF last night, anotehr way to have everyone start with the pistol, and what does everyone use-the pistol. it was 10 times more fun when we added TANKS and made it Iron gametype. that was a badass way to play CTF.

what the author says is completely wrong, tho. he says that HALO2 will have better graphics and so be a better game. last time i checked, halo1 wasnt the game to beat in the past 4 years on every console because it had the best graphics, you know, the graphics without realtime lighting and was coded within 5 months. the whole game that is. no, i believe it was the best gameplay.

are you saying you though BG and SW where the Best/Worst maps?, don't tell me the worst, Big levels kick @$$ man, and they have close quarters too. they're like freedom, sometimes me and a buddy will clear out a level in Co-op and then fight, just to have a cool big level.

it may have had a few glitches but they were minor plus it did not affect the game play much at all

Dude shut up. You, and I, and everyone else, knows how the frickin pistol works. It's got an edge over the other weapons. I'm not going to debate it with you because its common knowledge, and there's already like 50 pages debating it on here.

*oops, typo.

Yeah, but if you dont kill them before they can zero in on you, you're -blam!-. I dont care how good a player you are, you're getting owned.
