Everyone has been saying that Killzone might be the "Halo Killer". Now Im a Halo fan for life. But I have seen quite a bit of footage of Killzone. And I must say that it looks really impressive. It has lots of impressive weapons, and beautiful graphics. And it has been getting alot of hype. I have Halo for Xbox. and I love it. Halo is the 2nd BEST FPS GAME EVER well thats my opinion. The only FPS I love more than Halo is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3. That game is the BEST FPS GAME EVER. That game is amazing. It has unique effects, such as, the recoil of the gun (which I personally love that effect). It has LOTS more weapons than Halo. And it is the number 1 XBOX LIVE GAME PLAYED. But enought about that. I want to know what you guys and girls have to say about Killzone.

Rainbow Six 3 is good, don't get me wrong, I've played literally hundreds of hours on Live, however it is not even in the same stratosphere as Halo or Halo's sequel will be. It may have more weapons, but the controls, the maps and the general "twitch-based action" feeling of Halo beats it out. RS3 is more of the patient FPS, involving stealth and calm. Halo is a frag-fest with strategy and teamwork intermingled. They're two different games, and within the first week of Halo 2 the most played game on Live will be that game.

As far as Killzone, it looks interesting but it's a little late for a "Halo Killer." Just like Xbox and Gamecube were late when it came to this generation's consoles, Killzone is late when it comes to sci-fi, space shooters like Halo. Let Sony fan's eat their scraps, I'll take the real deal.

Graphics wise it looks as good, if not better, than Halo. However, I won't play it because I think it's just a Halo rip-off. They're trying to cash in like Halo did (4 Million copies of Halo, and it still sells pretty good.).

As for Killzone Vs. Halo 2: The screens we've seen of Halo 2 so far kick Killzone's ass. Halo 2 makes Killzone look like a -blam!-ing puppet show.

Rainbow Six is a good game but I'd rather spend the time to get an LAN party together than play Rainbow online. Its a good game but no Halo and -blam!- Killzone Halo 2 will rule

I still can't believe that gamers are impressed by those Killzone videos.

dude first of all, ur favorite XBOX game is one that riddled with more bugs then ur moms basement! and second of all, remember this while cheating on Halo with those Killzone screens and movies, they are taken on super hi-def tv's so u wont see the jaggies till u buy the crap and dont ever think that it multiplayer abilities will ever counter those of halo 1 and will only cower at the feet at the of the all-knowing, all-owning oter shooters, HALO 2!!!

he's got a point the only reason someone would possibly say that another game was better would be because halo came out before live but otherwise

I just watched the Killzone trailer. How the hell did they get that good of graphics on a ps2? somehow i doubt thats the in-game engine. EVEN IF Killzone graphics give Halo 2's a run for its money, there is no way it will match single or multi-player gameplay. H2's graphics are gonna get better anyways from early builds, so Killzone wont match graphics either. (nothing on ps2 can match bungie's works of art on xbox)

Dude, PS2 isn't as bad as some people make it sound. It has the power to draw graphics as good as the XBOX. It's just how much time the developers are willing to take to refine and edit character models. Obviously, most PS2 developers don't spend much time on graphics, but that doesn't mean that the PS2 can't run a game with graphics as good as Halo.

Anyway, Killzone could match Halo gameplay. The PS2 does have an online service just like Live, but you have to buy a HDD and plug it into the back.

By the way, I'm not defending Killzone. I'm just saying that the PS2 isn't really that bad. I still think Halo 2 will rule more than any game that will come out on PS2.

PS2 is ok... I will never own one, but my friend does.

PS2 is starting to remind me of a MAC! (HDD optional - FDD Optional / Internet Optional)

Killzone will not kill Halo, HALO 2 might, but even if Killzone does kill halo... we are on H2 now!

Killzone is Killzone... Xbox is Xbox... PS2 is PS2... we all play games! Just have fun!
I like sushi, but you may not, should we worry about sushi killing Pizza?

(PS. I own 2 PCs and 2 Macs, so lay off me mac lovers! I use both and respect the mac for working with media.)

LOL, ok first of all, PS2 literally cant pull the same graphics as the box because Xbox is literally 3 times more powerful then the PS2, read the specs noob. second, if u think that the PS2 online service is anywhere close to being as smooth, streamlined and simple as Xbox Live then you either dont have a Live account or your blind and play video games as a side show at your local circus!

keep your PS2 loving thought out of this sacred ground

Yes it can. The XBOX is three times more powerful than the PS2, but the PS2 can still calculate 75 million polygons per second. That's enough to run a fully bump-mapped Halo 2 version of Master Chief, who probably has 1 million polygons, if that. However, it probably wouldn't be able to render a full Halo 2 level, although it might be able to with a few tweaks.

I have read the specs...

I have a question for you. Ever played both PSOnline and Live? Be honest now...

ok wow, so it can render one spartan, oooo, i cant wait to play that game! or would it just be a wallpaper, not actually an interactive electronic game.

and yes, i have played, and let me tell u, it is so awesome to be in a game where someone with a 56k connection can totally ruin my expierience and gameplay, super cool idea sony!

oh and no friends lists and different screen names to memorize rules too!!!

The PS2 could probably run a game with the graphic quality of Halo, but Halo 2 is out of its league. I doubt it would be able to support that many polygons on the screen at any point in the game.

A person with a slow modem can ruin your day on Live too.

I think the XBOX is better, I'm just saying the PS2 isn't that bad.

I can't believe there is even the thought of comparison between killzone and Halo, Halo came out over 2 years ago, if Killzone can't at least match its graphics now, 2 years on then god help PS2.
Now look at Halo 2, honestly people, PS2 has no hope of ever running anything that looks that good... EVER!!! Only XBox can thats why XBox is the only console getting Doom 3.

Just saw the Killzone video...the AI is just stupid! They stand there and do nothing
how can they say this is Halo-killer? PS2 fans are just jealous because they know XBOX is getting the best games this year (Halo 2, Doom 3, Half Life 2, Painkiller, Riddick,etc)

Of course Halo 2 will own all of those games!!!
