Is sony aiming to kill halo from the xbox with its game? I find it weird how long they took. Can we expect the halo2 killer in 2012 & the halo3 killer in 2017, maybe a halo wars killer in 2025. I'd also imagine M$ getting MGS4 on the xbox 10265 by then too.

Strangely the real Halo killer is on the same console the 360 and it is Gears of War. Its like a horror movie when theres not just one killer if you know what I mean. :P

The only thing that will "kill" Halo is time. Slowly, the community will come to a halt, and then the game will be no more. Halo 2 is already dead in fact.

Single player? Arguably, though thats probably nostalgia talking more than anything. But legions of fans that sink hours into Halo 3's multiplayer beg to differ.

1. Must be an exclusive (rules out Orange Box and COD4)

2. on a competitors console (a Nintendo or Sony exclusive).

3. Must be a fps

4. Must outsell the highest selling Halo (9 million 4 halo 3 and counting)

5. Must beat Halo on metacritic.com

No other fps in existence meets all 5 requirements.

Which would be an incorrect assumption considering, in my opinion, Halo 2 is the best game of the series in nearly every aspect, except the graphics of course in comparison to Halo 3. And for the record, I'm a "huge" Halo junkie. :P

Halo will be a strong title dont matter what, but many games have dominated its single player and COD4 beats its online. If you want exclusive games for the PS3 which looks like you are targeting, then nothing kills it but Killzone 2 looks promising but not sure if it will measure up on all fronts.

The only thing that can kill halo is itself. some proclaim KZ2 to be the "halo killer" though i cant fathom how a ps3 exclusive can "kill" a 360 exclusive. the 360 will be unharmed by kz2, but may kill halo themselves by abusing the halo name and making more of them, even though they dont follow the main storyline.

many will disagree here, but they are all a VOCAL MINORITY.

In reality, outside the confines of the internet holy battlegorunds that is the forums, your right.

Halo 2 was a great game... Halo 3 just lived off of Halo 2 thrill... Halo 3 really was nothing special to me. Anyway, I think Resistance 2 already beat them both... 60 player online with almost no lag... Zero modders.... Zero Standbyers... Resistance 2 is Win...

Single player is a no contest Multiplayer, H3 has so many more options and game types and Bungie supports the crap out of it , its just overall more fun then that unbalanced frag fest COD4

the only reason halo has done so well is halo 1, it was the first shooter that got multiplayer down, but now there are shooters that are better, they just dont receive the fame bcuz it doesnt have halo in the title, right now r2 should be the king of online fps bcuz its bigger and better, my opinion but u cant really argue with 60 player online and 8 player co op which is insane

The original Killzone was originally hyped as the "Halo Killer" by copious amounts of SW forumites. I can remember seeing every other thread in this forum being Killzone related in '03 when the game was announced. When the game flopped as being a far inferior product, Halo's reinforced it's niche in the market. Probably why we seen nearly the hype for Killzone 2 as I did then. I think it takes balls for anyone to officially hype any game as being a Halo Killer.

play it and u might realize its a great game, but ur opinion is probably biased so anything on the ps3 "sucks" compared to something as "amazing" as a similar if not worse 360 game like halo.

Halo:CE is by far the best in the series in my book, and all though that may be a lot of nostalgia talking, Halo:CE was amazing at release. And it brought me some of the greatest lan games I've ever had.

Well halo 2 committed suicide at launch. That game was like a 7 at best. The online was the only reason it scored well....3 was much better but nothing amazing. Really I dont think halo needs to be killed. Its not the best fps out there

I think cod games have the PERFECT control sensitivity and fluidity for a console fps game.

In the 5+ hours I've spent playing R2 online the most people playing in a match was around 40 due to the lack of people playing this game. And also, more doesn't mean better. Imo, R2 online is messy and unorganized. It's still fun, but I prefer Halo 3's

where did all this bitterness come from. i didn't like the original. which had 40 so I already know I am not going to like 60 players. I don't like games with that many players. The 32 is max I will go and that is pushing it.

quantity doesnt beat quality. Halos scored higher, sold more and won more awards.

Right...despite the fact that Halo 3 has a way better single player and its multiplayer is 10x better then that unbalanced frag fest piece of crap COD4 And people still play Halo 3 while COD players moved on to that 60 dollar mod called World at War Actually scratch that people still do play COD4 its just now more folks are playing WAW Regardless Halo 3 beats both hands down

No game is like Halo, so you can neverhave a halo killer

It is the gameplay that sets it apart of anything else, the vehicles, controls etc, nothing is as fun to play, that is all

halo:ce will never be killed! It's a classic like gta III, half-life, metroid prime, OOT, mario 64, starcraft, metal gear solid ...

Why is halo the game that has to have a 'killer'? It won't dissapear once a game comes out that's considered better!

Halo 2 was a great game... Halo 3 just lived off of Halo 2 thrill... Halo 3 really was nothing special to me. Anyway, I think Resistance 2 already beat them both... 60 player online with almost no lag... Zero modders.... Zero Standbyers... Resistance 2 is Win...W1ckedGo0se
no lag on halo 3 no standbyers no modders Halo 3 is far far far more balanced than Halo 2 and far more robust than any other console game in terms of features and actual community gaming.

yeah i know, but its stupid to fill SW with threads concerning a 'halo-killer' title... i think everyone should understand that the Halo series is a very successful series and thats it... there is no need for other systems to have the so called Halo killer title...

I think there have been many great fps titles out in the past 2 yrs which were as good and fun as Halo 3... COD4, COD:WAW, R1 & R2 and many others... am not saying which is the best cause its a matter of taste but surely all of them were amazing titles in their own way...

So what's the deal? Are people scared?:? Also: what exactly IS a "halo killer"? plz answer champ, I'm confused:cry:



it's a person who hides in the darkness...stalks its prey(Halo videogames)...and stabs it in an attempt to kill it

But this killer doesn't use a knife or anything practical....this killer uses....a very,very,very,very sharp twig :o

i know it scares me as well
