Wow these people need to STFU. The gaming media are the worst than the actual devoted fanboys. They are to blame for exaggerating the simplest things and blowing them out of proportion. Yes killzone2 is gonna be exceptional but please keep the hype down.

"Halo Killer?" As far as i'm concerned killzone2 is a killzone1 killer simple as that.

I just hope it's a killer game like it's shaping up to be....

I bet someone from N4G will come in and say, "Well Sony said the original Killzone was the Halo Killer". Sure buddy, whstever you believe.

Anyway, a bit off topic (or on topic depending on perspective). I have a Sony Bravia KDL-46W4100. The tv has 120 Hz refresh rate. My question is simple. Is the 120 Hz always on or do I have to turn it on. The reason why I ask is because I was at Best Buy and saw a Samsung showing a video, wherein said video was split showing 120Hz on one side and 60 Hz on the other side. It had me thinking. Is it on by default or always on. If not, how do I turn it on? I'm reading the manual and nothing is mentioned about it, but I want to make sure. Anyway help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT: I appreciate your help Kleptic.

i wonder how its going to kill halo considering that there not on the same console.

will killzone franchise sell more than 28 millions units? not very soon
Will killzone 2 outsold halo 3? not
Will killzone 2 have the same amount of online players like Halo 3 right now? don't count with it.

It's not a halo killer but definitely one of the best FPS of this generation, looking forward for it.

Just another game that will be crossed out.

KZ2 doesn't offer enough diverse gameplay to even hope to compete.

There are so many games coming out in the next few months Sony will be lucky to sell this game to non hardcore Sony fanboys.

2.5 million at the most.

It's not called "Halo-Killer"

It's called Killzone 2. The more people try and call a game a "_____ Killer" the more you are doing disservice to the game itself.

Thats like calling Picasso the "Da Vinci Killer," he's his own artist doing his own art, with its own meaning. Stop comparing things. Crappy sites.

another game that will try to take halo throne?, fanboys will never learn. Leave Killzone 2 alone please.

KIIILLZZZOOOOWNED!

Well don't care if it sells more than Halo or not but for Sony it would be nice if it did. but that won't have an effect on the games quality. This is going to be THE shooter online no matter what. It doesn't have to live up to anything else. Halo is the past. They bought the game because it was the only good game at that time on that console. Fair enough, but that is the only thing that sales record show. On Sonys console the sales are just widely spread on exclusives because there are so many good ones. MGS, Resistance, KillZone are just a few of them.

Come on... Halo is so amazing I find it hard to believe anything is going to reach its greatness any time soon... Judging by Killzone 1 the only thing Killzone 2 is going to kill is itself...

KZ2 is not a Halo killer for gods sake! it's now up to MS to make a KZ2 killer... the shoe is now on the other foot. stop giving props to a game that doesn't come close to KZ2

the Xbots ;)

I hope it's a good game,,,,that's all that matters

PAW!

In March, when we'll see that Killzone 2's sale will be good but not huge, i bet there will be some "PS3 is doomed" articles, "KZ2 did not kill Halo after all" or "Another flop for Sony" with sweet "Where is your Halo-killer now, Sony fanboys?" comments, whereas everyone, PS3 or 360 owners, agree to say that Killzone 2 is NOT a Halo-killer but just another AAA game for PS3.

And now i drink some virtual water for the longest sentence i've ever written.

Well, they were almost right. It will be killer, but I hate the term "Halo Killer." It is derogotory to the game being labelled as one because, quite simply, it doesn't take much to surpass Halo. Well maybe not in terms of sales, but gameplay is what matters to me (and most other gamers).

Plus, a game shouldn't have to be an "Anything Killer." All I expect from a game is that it does well as an independent entity, not against baseless comparisons from a game that it may not even share many similarities with.

LOL! Because the game can't be any good unless it's a "Halo Killer".

I m afraid it can't kill halo in sales department.

but it will be one hell of a game with half of halo3's sales

dumb

Well, I'm done with this, if you kiddies want to believe Halo is the pinnacle of FPS gaming, go ahead.

It doesn't make you right, nor does x number of games people prefer make you wrong.

I just don't get why you're so millitant about the game when something could finally surpass it and make Bungie pick up the slack to offer a better experience in Halo 4.

Frankly, I hope Killzone doesn't kill Halo, because Half-Life is a much superior series and that's what FPS games should be aiming for.

If this game outsells halo, i as a ps3 hater, will call this game the halo killer.

Besides that, i do have the decency to admit that this game will be good, obviously because i am dutch, and i want dutch developers to shine.

Halo's already dead as a symbol of high quality gaming and has been since Halo II was released so stop with this crap already. Don't you people realize these "console wars" that you all love to complain about is created by sh*t like this? Idiots.

Ok, if KZ2 sells 8 million copies, have its own Mt Dew Soda, Action figures, 7 eleven slurpies, have an online community 1/2 that of Halo, sell 2 million copies on launch day, then we might have a case. But sorry, that probably won't happen. EDIT: There is no chance that will happen.

Even though it will not be a Halo Killer, it will definately be one of my most play game this year. Thr Graphic and atmosphere is out of this world. Online should be a blast. I can't wait.

See, no need to be a fanboy to claim which one is superior, just buy both systems and enjoy the best of both world. Both This is N4G, Sony Haven, WTF am I kidding.

Q1 gaming purchase:
X360: SF4, RE5, Halo Wars, Star Ocean 4, GTA4 DLC, FEAR 2
PS3: Killzone 2

Boring all the fanboy baiting headlines now. I was not overly interested in this but was going to try the demo to see how the SP side was as I dont online at the moment. From a couple of previews I have read about the SP side, it's looking more like an essential purchase for me as time goes on.

I have a 360 but do not like the Halo series just a preference on my part. Nothing wrong with Halo and it's done it's job of keeping millions entertained and made MSoft/Bungie shedloads to boot isn't that what it's all about at the end of the day?

Killzone 2 seems like it is going to be an incredible game and i plan on playing that hell out of it. But I dont understand why a lot of people keep making the statement "Halo-Killer". I sure the multiplayer aspect will be amazing, but the unfortunate thing is that it is going to be played on PSN. One of the things that have so many people playing Halo is Xbox Live and how easy it is to set up matches with friends change gametypes and check leaderboards on Bungie.net. I hope playstation can support Killzone half as much as Microsoft supports the Halo franchise, then we will surely have a monster of a game on our hands.

Hate the media.

Killzone = Shooter for real gamers.

Failo = powerrangers cartoon for 12 year old noobs Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.. .

Killzone 1 sold millions world wide, its clear KZ2 will be the best selling exclusive game in 2009 and also GOTY and unlike Failo this sales will be from real gamers, unlike Shamesfot who bought half the number of the Failo 2.5 games that were sold Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!

This game will eliminate Halo franchises for ever.

KILLZONE 2 KILLZONE 2

:)

lets get one thing straight, this isn't a halo killer, its the XBOX 360 KILLER!

No shooter its better than halo aleluyah, so far and all of you jeal;ous cunt suck on my avatar.

Read what this article actually states as the third reason why Halo will die off. It makes sense.

This is most apparent with the soon to be released Real Time Strategy game ’Halo Wars’ set to release March 3rd just four days after Killzone 2. It is natural for a game publisher to cling onto a successful franchise, but Halo Wars attempts to mix two things that just don’t mix. RTS games and Console’s. To its credit developer Ensemble developed the controls six months before approaching Microsoft with the game pitch. It remains to be seen if all the time spent on controls was worth it. So far reactions have been mixed. Also this year 360 owners will be treated to yet another Halo spin off Halo 3: ODST which will ship with Halo 3 map-packs. Sadly there is even more Halo coming in the next few years, Halo Chronicles is said to be released within the next year to year and a half and Microsoft is even creating a team to just work on Halo games. This in the end will only lead to over saturation of the Halo brand. Which in turn could lead to the demise of Halo.

Killzone 2 is said to be a great achievement in gaming and soon gamers all over the world will have their say. Killzone 2 could be very similar to the first Halo in a sense that, the first Halo was made popular mainly by word of mouth and stellar reviews. There could be a new king in the FPS genera come Feb. 27th. If any game has ever been poised to steal Halo’s crown, Killzone 2 is that game.

There are about 5 Halo killers now (there may have been more but I don't know). How many times does it take to kill Halo? I mean Halo must have many lives cause it's already been killed by Haze, Resistance, Resistance 2, COD4, Killzone, Killzone 2, and the list probably keeps going yet Halo still lives (and will continue to live with Halo: ODST coming out). Instead of calling it a "Halo Killer" you should just see the game for what it is. A good FPS game and if you were that much of a fanboy then it would be more logical to spin it and say something like "Will (insert every FPS title here) be a Killzone killer?".

Calling something a "Halo Killer" every time just shows how desperate the fanboys are to try and show people that they have a good exclusive FPS game. It doesn't really matter what game is a "Halo Killer" because people will still continue to play Halo and there will still be games based around it because it sells well and it's a good game (because if it really wasn't a good game then you wouldn't be calling anything a "Halo Killer" to begin with).

This is just another PS3 great,fantastic amazing exclusive.

nothing of which to worry :)

It's a bit late to kill Halo as its already made its money duh.I have both consoles and will most likely not get Killzone due to the lack of co-op, i'm not a hardcore gamer or fanboy but how much hard drive space will KZ2 take and how long to install it on th PS3.

Update : My bad, looked it up no install required. looks like my 250gig drive will stay intact lol

First, let me start off by saying, OMG the word Delusional is soo over used. Please dont use it before i BMB!
Anyway, this game has to be A HALO KILLER because if not than all the 360 fanboys will say "oh but that game didnt sell 20 million" and oh "that game doesnt have as many online players as halo does"
IMO Halo is already killed! COD killed it. Gears Killed it. Resistance killed it(campaign wise). Killzone 2 will kill it.
In QUALITY Killzone 2 is an every FPS game killer out. In terms of sales, maybe not.

Halo cant be killed in sales because of how it was marketed. I mean i saw HALO EVERYWHERE!! and Halo is over rated. If Halo 4 came out February 27 of course halo 4 would sell because people hear the word halo and they are like "OMG i have to buy that"

and why the ps3 hate? This is to xbox fanboys. Like seriously, the ps3 is an awesome system, but you guys have the best online. Dam man that pisses me off. Xbox is great, you dont like ps3, alright thats your OPINION. people have different flavors.

MOM, killzones trying to kill halo again!

numbers and cross game chat is all you 360 owners have left. let that sink in ok

Blu-ray isn't a plus
Free online isn't a plus
bigger, better, bolder games aren't a plus
true 1080p isn't a plus...

do you see a pattern here? open your eyes and see the truth. the 360 is a great machine, but the Ps3 is better... that's all. Calling KZ2 a Halo killer is like asking if Uncharted is a Pong killer. times and graphics have moved on and PS3 owners are lucky enough to be able to follow.

but that's nice. Good job KZ2. Good job gamingfront.net

this is killzone baby.. the game will be freaking awesome in its own right.. Cant wait.. only a couple more weeks fella's and our lives will be sucked away.. lol

Halo killer lol. When you can throw a plasma grenade on a warthog charging at you and watch it explode and flip through the air and hit 2 other opponents killing them. Or fire your sniper rifle at an opponent miss and have the bullet ricochet off a wall...and another wall and strike someone in the head across the map killing them in multiplayer.

Then yeagh it or any other fps that can pull that off may start to climb the ladder for halo killer. Meanwhile it will be just another shooter (key words->) for me and my fellow halo friends. I don't speak for you.

all the bitter sony fanboys come out to play. KZ2 will be extremely lucky to break 2 million let alone even get a whiff of Halo-like success. However, I love when sony fanboys get all hyped about a "halo-killer" title (killzone, haze, resistance 2, socom, etc) it's funny to watch them cry like little babies when it fails..."bu...bu...but 789,000 sales is good..." they're like that little clique of wanna-be's in high-school everyone felt sorry for. they all just kind of huddle around each other and no one in the real world cares because they own a 360 and are already playing Halo, Gears, or COD4 and can't be bothered to give a piss about some upstart wanna-be title on an over-priced console that most people buy to watch high-def movies.

lol

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has the top crown right now. Guess that's why more and more articles are comparing Killzone 2 to that particular title rather than Halo 3, which was pretty mediocre compared to its predecessors.

@ why dis
u must of been abused and neglected as a child. so now you must take your anger out on a game?

Why the heck must this kill Halo? Who freakin cares if one is better than the other. I have both systems just because I didn't like Halo doesn't mean that as far as quilty goes Halo is any less than Killzone 2. Both are really great games that desearve the praise they have gotten. Leave this freakin Halo killer crap to the fanboys/fangirls that think they need to justify what they have bought. Get a life and move on. Why dis is a prime example of why gaming communities suck so bad. Grow up and move on.

Is the ratio of PS3 fanboys over 360 fanboys really that bad here?
It is like the movie 300. There are like 30 new articles about KZ2 everyday here. What the heck is going on?

COD4 already killed Halo. Why are we still on this?

Does it bother anyone else that the fool who wrote this article misspelled 'genre" both times he used it?... instead he spelled it 'genera' which is a totally different word that has no use in the sentence "fps genre" (he wrote 'fps genera')

Why are these so called "articles" being approved on this site? More fanboy blog for the fireplace.

God damn media. Games don't kill games.

I don't see why Halo and KZ2 are being compared. Different styles of gameplay, different focus, different consoles. Halo is fun to pick up and play, but I hardly consider it the end all be all of FPS. I certainly respect what it did for console FPS, and I LOVE the recording feature in Halo 3, but overall the series doesn't do it for me. I despise the muzzle drift when you shoot, especially in such an "arcadey" styled shooter. My personal all time faves are still GE007, Perfect Dark 64, UT2004, CoD4, and Q3TA.

Also, what I find interesting in this thread is, for a site purported to be run by "Ps3 fanboys," I see plenty of people acknowledging Halo as a solid title. I also see them calling out the absurdity of the GAMING MEDIA to label a title a "______ Killer." I guess there are more gamers here than the fanboys would like to think. It's perfectly okay for Halo and KZ2 to be successful and fun titles, as its entirely okay to enjoy more than one title per genre people. Stop drinking the coolaid that the media tosses at you and thinking it has to be one or the other, okay?

Killzone 2 doesn't need to kill Halo, because to be honest it looks like it will be a lot better than Halo and can stand on its own.

I agree that KillZone 2 looks beautiful but unless they can do Wii numbers its a flop.The true game to beat is WiiResort.

but to surpass it wich mean KZ2 KICK ASS!!!!!!!

It's not next gen issue.

here we go.....mahahahahhahahahah

Halo killed itself.

1 was excellent.
2 was ok.
3 was poor by other FPS standards.

COD4 is the current console FPS champion (although i personally think Resistance 2's multi-player is better than COD4s), but i have to say, after being in the Killzone 2 beta, i think it beats COD4 on the multi-player front.

not only does it have leveling up, but you can mix classes primary and secondary badges, a great improvement over class based games like Team Fortress and Resistance 2.

if the campaign mode is as good as it looks like it is, then KZ2 could easily be the next big FPS that all other FPS titles are judged by.

COD4 came out when? 2 years ago? its about time a worthy challenger stepped into the ring.

haters will hate, and i can't stand all this "Halo Killer" or "XXX game killer" that gets bandied about by the increasingly irritating game media.

i remember when Dark Cloud 1 was supposed to be the "Zelda Killer" according to the press, and what was actually a genuinely good first time RPG from the then unknown Level 5 got reamed by the media that THEMSELVES set it up to fail by calling it the next Zelda.

outside of outlandish statements by folks like Ken Kutaragi and Kaz Hirai, and other Sony PR people, most of the games on the PS3 got hyped by the PRESS.

Lair? that was hyped to be the first mega-hit of the PS3 by the media, so Playstation 3 fans rallied behind it. afterall, the press gets to play these games early, and they all said great things about Lair. come review time? it's apparently the worst game ever made. i played Lair. i beat it. it was mediocre, but i enjoyed it. the graphics were amazing, the soundtrack was equally so, and the story was rather good, considering that it revolved around dragons and warring countries. it got torn to shreds by media and non-PS3 owning haters alike because they hyped it up so much.

Heavenly Sword was next to receive the "Savior of the PS3" moniker, and all the expectations that that entail. Heavenly Sword is a truly badass game. it doesn't redefine the genre, but it most certainly sets the bar for audio/visual presentation in a game in it's genre. well, it COULD have, if people gave it a shot, instead of listening to the media tear it down for "issues" that are present in EVERY OTHER action game, but somehow get overlooked. but oh no, a PS3 Action Game has to be flawless, with never before seen game design, and innovative in every way.

like Lair, instead of going the "XXX Killer" route, they had a much more effective method of slander: "This game is going to justify the Playstation 3's existence." that phrase alone caused more damage to the Playstation 3's reputation than ANY "XXX Killer" moniker ever could. go back and read the reviews of the first year of PS3 exclusives. from launch titles to Unreal Tournament 3. just about EVERY.SINGLE.ONE has the phrase "this title DOESN'T justify the cost of the PS3." or some such take on it.

it's a low, and pathetic tactic. ONE game NEVER justifies the cost of ANY console. a strong LIBRARY of titles is what keeps people interested, and coming back.

sure, quite a few people bought a 360 for Halo 3. but they also picked one up for
Gears of War
Crackdown (the Halo 3 beta bonus game that didn't get the love it deserved)
Dead Rising
Bioshock
Eternal Sonata
Fable 2
Mass Effect

and so on. those games (and many more), justify the cost of the 360, and upcoming games like Ninja Blade, Alan Wake, Huxley, Star Ocean IV, etc continue to drive interest.

Playstation 3 fans didn't buy the PS3 for just ONE game either.

sure, they may have wanted a PS3 for Final Fantasy XIII, or Metal Gear Solid 4, but they also got those great year one titles like Resistance, Motorstorm, VF5, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Ratchet and Clank Future, Uncharted, and Unreal Tournament 3.

how people could say with a straight face that the PS3's year one lineup was terrible is beyond me, and they clearly don't remember the lame year one lineups of the PS1 and PS2.

PS3 owners got new IPs to champion (Resistance, Uncharted; sadly, Folklore and Heavenly Sword were killed off; they could have been excellent), BUT we also still have legacy franchises like Gran Turismo, God of War, Twisted Metal, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Team Ico games, etc, to look forward to.

but everytime a new PS3 title is announced, it's like the haters are nervous when they can't find a new 360 title to match it, that they result to "well, it's not going to be a 'XXX killer'," and nod knowingly at one another with crossed arms and furrowed brows.

did God of War "kill" Devil May Cry? NO. but they are both action/adventure games, and they co-exist in the same genre peacefully. Ninja Gaiden is right next to them as well.

does Splinter Cell "kill" Metal Gear Solid? NO. but they both co-exist in the Stealth/Action genre together.

i like VARIETY. i like CHOICES. i like having more options available to me.

i liked that there are multiple titles per genre, so if i don't like what one is offering, i can try the other.

i love Resident Evil, but i'm certainly glad that there were franchises like Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, and Siren to give me choice.

i love God of War, but i'm glad Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry exist to keep the series on its toes.

Halo was a great series that i personally think has run it's course, or needs a little bit of a break, then relaunch (like Capcom did with Resident Evil. after Code Veronica, the series was practically dead to most fans, as it was the same old thing all over again. they revamped the franchise, released RE4, and the series is back on track. although they are dangerously close to starting the cycle all over again with RE5).

there ARE better FPS titles than Halo out there. COD4, Resistance 2, and Killzone 2 are just three that have already surpassed the franchise in it's gameplay offerings.

just because a particular game or series has been surpassed, however, doesn't mean that it is suddenly a sh*tty game.

Just out of curiosity, what did Halo kill?

its not hard to beat halo graphically and gameplay wise but sales wise its a struggle i think killzone 2 will get near but i cant see it surpassing it halo was king of last gen sales hopefully killzone 2 will be this gen king of sales

How is it not better than Halo 3. I'm for a more realistic shooter like Killzone 2 where the guns have a realistic feel and look, rather than Halo where you play a dude in a green suit and fighting purple aliens from the horse head nebula.

when people say halo killer, or any other game at that, it doesnt mean what most of you make it to be. A Halo killer is basically just a game that will replace the "best" game and be crowned the new jewel, the new king to be compared to. it doesnt mean hao will die, it doesnt mean halo will suck, it just means kz2 will be the new king of FPS...thats all there is to it.

The multiplayer alone has me hooked, I can't wait to see how the campaign plays out.

i forget the blog/article, but they had it right.

there will be no halo killer.

same way there will be no god of war killer.

no gran turismo killer

no gears of war killer..

etc etc etc..

as some games continue for the better and some new ip's become dear to us they become staples.

games that kill other games, are done because the first game failed to be a staple. a game with potential or that lost its luster get killed.

for instance. yes uncharted is the tomb raider killer.

call of duty is the medal of honor killer.

cant we just enjoy gaming?

killzone 2 may kill halo 3, but not halo 1, i ll pick halo 1 over kullzone 2 any day

Well just from you article summary, you def. make your website look like a tool. Only if you didn't come of as a Halo hater your article would be a lot more appreciated. All three points you made in your summary are not valid for a few reason obviously. YOu haven't even played the game.

Note: I will not read your article, because I'm not into reading crap.

lol

PS3 fanboys, just enjoy your Killzone 2 when it comes out and stop having orgasm about it. First it was Haze, the MGS4, the LBP, then Resistance 2, now it is Killzone 2. Guess what, if you think these games are so great then buy 2 copies to show your support and stop posting 800,000,000 Killzone this, Killzone is the Best, and other Killzone BS all day long on Sonydefenseforce.com2, hmmm, I mean N4G. This is getting old. LBP and resistance 2 didn't set the world on fire this holiday after all the hype at this site like they were second comings.

And Figboy and Traveler, I think you two are the same person. After a long post about Halo Killed itself, Traveler came in and said "Fantastic post and great points". LMFAO....

So Halo 3 sold over 9 millions copies and have an unprecedented online community, still supported by Bungie with many more Mappacks and an expansion coming out, is universally acclaimed by the Media and it has Killed itself? You must work for Sony and Kaz.

Man is it going to be a long, long fall for the fanboyz if this game fails.... lol @ the Hype. Sure hope it's as good as this fanboy & N4G trolls say it is. "Halo Killer" is a BIG statement... last game that made that statement waz lil' ole Haze...

After pages and pages of PS3 Fanboys holding hands and spewing venom at a 2 year old game I realized that this article will forever be known as 'THE #1 REASON WHY GOD CREATED X-BOTS'

Open Zone should be ashamed of themselves! Cleary outdone by the absolute purest form of droidism that will never be topped in the next 5 or 6 similiar articles that will come in the next few months.

So this is the Halo Killer (K2) after the Original Halo killer (K1)famously failed to kill Halo..

And what reasons pretell does this clearly objective upstanding non-biased journalist give?

1. 'Single player has a epic sci-fi story' that is clearly more of an epic sci-fi story than a couple of months ago when we played those last two games with epic sci-fi storylines or the 6 or 7 before that which had epic sci-fi storylines all released since Killzone 2 was announced.

2. 'Multi-player better than Halo' Mainly because of the all new mulit-player mode 'WAR ZONE'! Not to be confused with the 3 year-old Gears of War multi-player mode 'War Zone' And although Infinity Ward and Valve will have Guerilla Games in litigation for years and years over completely ripping off their games' muti-player modes. no one will even notice.

3. 'Microsoft will suck the life out the Halo franchise' Strangely similiar to articles like this one sucking the life out of non PS3 owners anticipation for Killzone 2. Easily the worst knock on Halo in years. Microsoft has released 3 Halo games from 2001 -2008. And This will be the 3rd Killzone game since 2004. Not to mention Grand Theft Auto who has released 7 GTA series' titles since 2001. Or maybe even the Call of Duty series which has released 6 games in 5 years!

Top 5 ways we will know Killzone 2 will be a Halo killer

1. Gross over $300 million in it's first week ($170 Million on day one)

2. Over one million people playing your game over your system's internet service in the first 24 hours

3. Sell 8.1 million copies in less than 5 months

4. Average at least a 93% Metacritic after 89 reviews (wait till the guy who sold the press kit eats K2 alive)

5. Have Killzone try 2 times and spend 6 years trying to Kill your game.

Bottomline..we all may end up playing K2 one day..but it doesn't come close to the console grandaddy of FPS gaming.

K2's one player game does not come close to Halo 3 Four player on-line co-op campaign

K2's multi-player will not even come close to innovating like Halo 3 did with Forge, Theater, the best online matchmaking system in console gaming period.
(in fact let's see if K2 even wins multi-player game of the year in 09')

K2's graphics are superior. And yes for a non co-op game it looks even better than that E3 video 4 whole years ago. Conicidently, my 65-inch HDTV looks better than the TV I was bragging about 4 whole years ago too. Strange how that works out.

My favorite part of the year is going to be when a lil' ol' Halo:OSDT and God forbid Infinity Ward delays Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 another year..ouch!

Oh my bad! This is where I yell! Killzone 2 wins and Halo failed right?

wasnt killzone 1 the halo killer...aahhahahahahaha

if K2 makes it into MLG...i might possibly just maybe think of it being a halo killer

anything thats ever beat halo was gears and cod

p.s. halo still sells like fuc*ing hot cakes

HALO or GAY-LO has been.............KILLZOWNED! HA HA HA!!! Up YOURS YOU BOTS!!

I'm no fanboy but I say thank you, we will enjoy our time in the sun with a game that has so far defied everything that everyone has thrown at it.

From graphics to gameplay.
Feels good, real good.

Halo's already dead.

The only thing that can kill a Halo game is another Halo game. NOTHING will ever change that.

All you gotta do is mention the word 'Halo' to get all the trolls from under the bridge.

Halo Killer? hahahaa...thats funny. A game series that has been immensely popular for years? I dont think so. MP better than Halo? Thats definitely subjective, but judging by the huge Halo community, I doubt that.

I know it kills so many of you inside that the Halo series is one of the best in gaming, and its on the Xbox, but just live with it already. Let K2 carve out its own niche. But dont call this Halo Killer when its first game was mediocre at best.

...yeah tell that to the million people who play it every weekend and oooo tell that to MLG...halo is dead......lol

Only Time Will Tell.

Agree with you 99%.

Correction: Halo is one of the most overhyped series in gaming.
Decent but not great.

Anyway he's right, just let Halo lie and move on.

That's not hard to achieve. Play any call of duty game. Play counter strike. Play resistance. These all have better multiplayer than Halo 3

I say this because halo is an established franchise it's like saying god of war is going to get killed by another upcoming action/hack&slash game. regardless how well killzone will sell it's not going to prevent mircosoft to look and say OMG! halo has been destroyed lets make something new, what it will do is make mircosoft take notice and improve on halo games wether it be expansions halo 4 etc etc. thats why i love competition look at madden probably best example you could use once EA got rights to the nfl madden has been the same game since 2006, only improvements include graphics, a few new options but the same old glitch's are included! tells you right there without competition theres really no need to improve on something becuase fans will buy it regardless look at the madden fans sure they complain but, its those same fans that will go out and buy the next game. before any sony fans start bashing me about how killzone 2 will kill halo etc etc. i am a proud ps3 owner who plans on getting killzone 2 on day 1, personally i'm not a fan of mircrosoft never liked the xbox (to each his/her own) but thats not saying i will refuse to play games on it, all thats saying is i'll never purchase one and luckily i don't have to becuase my bro. bought one, what most of you fanboy's fail to see is that mircosoft keeps sony on it's heels to put out AAA games & vice versa am i one of the select few that act. notices this? maybe this long rant will help you fanboy's see that competition is a good thing when it comes to games ...

If Halo is over hyped then why do so many people keep playing it?
I just hope K2 is a lot better than R2, if not it's the last preorder I going to do for the PS3, tired of being disappointed.

is a better game than Halo: CE (not gonna happen though) it's still not as new and inventing... It can't be! I mean the first Halo game was just this huge FPS game with great graphics, great gameplay and sound (Halo theme anyone??) and everything was beautifully realized which is something that made it the top FPS back then.

All of you people are seriously doing my head in(except for a few i gave good rep).
I hope to god that Killzone 2 lives up to its hype. Its been in the works for f***ing ever, what it would be about 4 years now nearly 5. Finally you sony gamers will know what its like to have a game so over-hyped like Halo.

Im a Xbox person myself got halo 1,2,3 liked the first one and got more disappointed with each sequel that followed. But i still love Halos multiplayer. To me the halo 2 and 3 hype killed the game for me, the media make it sound so good and say how you can do this, do that, the graphics are like something you have never seen before. but when you get the game, put it in play the game and finish it, and realize its just not the same game you were expecting that was promised to you.

reason i say that is because at the moment the media are giving Killzone 2 the same hype they gave halo, and thats a bad thing. Believe me thats the worst possible thing to have ever happened to the game.

Im sorry but if anything killzone 2 will equal par with Halo.

PS on September 25th to about the 30th (maybe even later) 2007 halo 3 matchmaking counted 1,500,000+ (and i think at 1 point nearly peaked at 2,000,000)online users in Halo 3 so imagine the amount offline and those who hadn't got the game yet. Even you Sony fanboys gotta admit thats pretty f***en good, and hard to trump.

This is silly, any game dont need to be killed. Games will always be replaced with something looking better and refined. Halo already made its mark on gamers and you cant take that away from the game, the question remaining is will Killzone 2 do the same or better? Enough with the comparisons its like comparing my beloved vintage watch to amy new g-shock which by the way i both love.

1. Halo 3 grossed US$300 million in its first week

2 One Million+ played Halo 3 on Live in the First 24 hours

3. Halo 3 sold 8.1 million copies in 6 months

4. First-day sales of Halo 3 reached $170 million in the U.S

5. Halo 3 has beaten other records as well; at least four million
copies of Halo 3 were pre-ordered globally, making it the fastest
pre-selling game to date.

More after the break.........

People use the term "Halo Killer" because Microsoft enthusiasts often tout Halo as the veritable king of FPS. I think people are waiting for a game that will blow Halo out of the water in a major way, and I think people are downplaying the notion of a Halo killer in fear of KZ2. It's weird, people don't get nearly as worked up when the term "WoW killer" is thrown around.

im happy to her that halo gots some compotition.

I believe that KZ2 is a great game but if it sells ?? Sony needs to do something about there marketing because that is the only thing that sucks about Sony.

to me there is no such thing as a xxx-Kiler, each game has its own sh!t..halo has its own structuce, killzone2 has its own, COD has its own, resistance2 has its own..i mean its just the way the games are made..so get a life and stop saying this game will kill it because if it did, the game who got killed wouldnt continue to make new games

Oh ah, man my stomach hurts from laughing so hard. That was a good one.

Fanboys hang on to this term like its gosepel. Sony coined it for back with the first Killzone because they felt threatened by Halo's success. There was no need to make a "Halo Killer" just a need to make a game that moves consoles. This is all Sony needs Killzone 2 to do.

Will it sell consoles? I think it will. How much, hard to say with this economy right now.

Will it kill Halo? Not a chance. When ever MS launches Halo 4 in whatever form it appears...you can bet your bottom dollar that fans will line up in droves for the game.

Who is Halo? LoL!

It is the Crysis Killer!

Offcourse this game is gonna be way better ( looking ) than Halo you could compare Halo to Quake 3 or something , Killzone 2 is just amazing .. and we ve got here our own analysts ... the game is not even out and some are saying it will sell bad, not as halo..

If you compare K2( graphics) to Halo or Gears of War 2 , it's like comparing the Special effects of the terminator movies..

HALO and Gears of War (2) are = The Terminator ( little fake special effects )

Killzone 2 = Terminator 2 ( Good special effects compared to 1 st part...

Halo "killers" are the invention of a media safe in the knowledge that its virtually impossible to unseat such a tried and tested formula franchise-if, by most admissions a lacklustre(at best for a stellar seres like Halo)part three of the trilogy couldn't kill Halo how exactly does a game from a company whose previous console effort died through too high ambition expect to with about 1% of the marketing budget of the last Halo juggernaut "kill" it?

It can't. To all intents and purposes this is a new IP for Sony after the venom and "fail" spat at the PS2 installment and while Lib on PSP was a fabulous game it was , at days end, just a hand held title.

There are lots of better games this gen than Halo3(and Wii Sports has more copies slopping about so drop that yardstick of quality-or do we sat Nntendogs is better than either Gears or MGS?), many of them FPS(COD4, R2 for my money, along with Farcry2 all offer more than Halo3 on its own)too and I fully(know the MP is better)expect KZ2 to join them as better games but not Halo "killers".to do that either the next Halo stinks so bady you lose sight of 1 & 2 and what made the games great OR Killzone or the IW CODs continue to grow their brand(likewise resistance)to the point where they are pre emibnant not onmly as games but, sadly, also as cuiltaural events.

there never has been and never will be a "halo killer"

just like there will never be a mario killer, or a Final Fantasy killer, or a metal gear killer.

GET OVER IT.

k2 will totaly pwn hal0!!11! teh 1st 1 wuz SOOOO much beter th3n halo!!!!11

You assholes crack me up. The only way Killzone 2 will kill anything is if its existence is responsible for the shutting down of Microsoft. You wanna know why K2 multiplayer will not be as fun as Halo 3's? None of you have headsets! Wanna know another? XBL is better than PSN! Here's another, the first Killzone sucked! Let me think, PS3 fanboys come up with a new "... killer" every year (Haze)

K2 will probably be about the same as Resistance 2. And even if K2 does suck (in a magical world, the same you guys live in), most of you will just shut your eyes, plug your ears and pretend that it doesn't.

Look at Microsoft's lineup of fantastic online games (where 98% of people have headsets): GoW2, Halo 3 and L4D! This article should never have been allowed to be put up. Same goes for the articles saying that "The PS3 is done". N4G is a beehive for you rambling fanboys. And no, I'm not a fanboy. Everything I've just said is true.

Until the game comes out and we can see that it's good, until then STFU!

/rant

Like somebody mentioned earlier, it's just a matter of time.
Put the fan boy comments aside.

Wow, I'm sick of this sht. I've got a 360. I like it alot. KZ2 looks really cool, and I'm glad the PS3 guys will get to play it. And that's pretty much it.

a little big WHATAVER!

you don't make any sence. CoD4 killed halo. by how? the most played? they lost that title already to halo. what more sells? CoD4 is multi-plat. what features as Shepherd 214 described? ah no you failed again.
then how did CoD4 kill halo3? oh thats right the graphics card. thats all you got. i guess CoD4 beats KZ2 in everything except graphics? right.
