I don't see why. It scored less, sold less, and is played online less.
Anyways, game killers are lame. If people can co-exist (most of the time), why can't games?

Exactly, why can't fanboys have two games co-exist with each other? Sure we all have our own preference but still that doesn't mean the opposing game has to die. I guess it's a fanboy rule nowadays.
i think halo:ce is still the king of console FPS's! Since then i never had that awsome feeling, knowing you are playing something special, when playing a FPS.
I think if people would stop mentioning Halo 3 that people around here would stop caring about it.
Seriously. There's maybe 3 or 4 people I see per day that mention Halo 3, and if they wouldn't mention it then Halo 3 would not be the topic of conversation around here ever.
[QUOTE="mtradr43"]nope, halo 3 has more options for single and mp, and sales were way better. until that is matched on both parts, it isnt dead.TheGreatOutdoor
Actually sales mean nothing with judging a game. A game selling a lot doesn't mean it is good and a game selling bad doesn't mean it is bad.
actually sales mean quite alot when it comes to the quality of a game, people wont purchase in this day and age a truely crap game just like they will purchase a ""truely"" good game, halo 3 outsold, outscored killzone 2 it has a far larger online community and more options. There are all ways certain circumstances but simply put sales can be quite a great impression of a games quality.

"A game selling a lot doesn't mean it is good and a game selling bad doesn't mean it is bad"......What part of that is hard to understand? :?

"A game selling a lot doesn't mean it is good and a game selling bad doesn't mean it is bad"......What part of that is hard to understand? :? then I guess halo 1 2 and 3 being good games aren't the reasons they sold loads, I guess every game for the most part something like 90% of them that received good scores 8-10 getting good sales has aboslutely no connection. Infact If a game sucks so much that it gets 1.0 at every site, is basically just a stick figure running over a black line for 5000 screens and he does nothing then that means that game at times sells millions right? Sales mean quite alot when it comes to telling the quality of a game, people more so then ever before have access to the information to tell them a game sucks or is good, so a TRUELY bad game is not going to sell much and a TRUELY good game is going to sell alot, people aren't dumb for the most part they want to play quality.
There are all ways certain circumstances its called life, but the MAJORITY of time what i've said is a simple fact.
So the critics like Halo 3 better even going by this website and Metacritic. Halo 3 has sold far more. More people play Halo 3 even after all this time then KZ2 So pretty much KZ2 got nothing. Just enjoy your KZ2 and stop trying to compare it to a game icon like Halo

Just enjoy your KZ2 and stop trying to compare it to a game icon like Halo they cant help it though killzone 2 isn't competing againest halo 3 its competing againest halo 1 hence Killzone 2 war perfected and halo combat evolved...

When Kz has three successful games in a row that scores 9.0 and above , then maybe you have an argument. Halo 3 was a great game , with questionable multiplayer , but over all the game has a great story . I have nothing against Kz2 , I almost bought a PS3 because of it , but nothing has killed anything yet.
KZ2 looks better and plays better, but that's to be expected when comparing a relatively new game with a game that's got a couple of years on it. There's no denying Halo 3's success with online multiplayer though. They'll both remain the top FPS title for PS3 and 360 until something else better come along...LP2 maybe but not crossing my fingers.
I really liked the original Halo, not so much the second.... or the third. And I never liked the multiplayer on Halo. Well actually the 3rd was interesting. Never beat it though.

Actually sales mean nothing with judging a game. A game selling a lot doesn't mean it is good and a game selling bad doesn't mean it is bad. They sure as hell mean a lot when one game is supposed to "kill" another.
A Xbox player with Halo 3 is not going to stop playing Halo, buy a PS3(assuming they don't already have one), and buy Killzone because it was titled "Halo Killer"(TM)
Even though I prefaired K2 over Halo 3, 9.5>>>9.0 so Halo 3 is still the FPS to beat, the only thing K2 has going for it is that it's the game to beat for console graphics right now.

They sure as hell mean a lot when one game is supposed to "kill" another.Again sales mean nothing when it comes to the quality of a game. There are games that are crap that sell well and there are awesome games that don't sell well. When I think of game A killing game B, I think of the game itself, not how many units it has sold. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying Killzone 2 is better than Halo 3, nor am I saying Halo 3 is better than Killzone 2. I have played Halo 3 and it is just a everyday average shooter to me. I have not played Killzone 2. Gameplay people, gameplay. Sales do not determine which game is better.
When we compare fps should we now be saying Kz2 killer instead of halo 3

KZ2 failed to out score Halo 3. So no. Halo 3 is still the FPS to beat. Besides, everything about KZ2 is weak sauce, with the exception of the graphics.
I don't see why. It scored less, sold less, and is played online less.

How can it be a Halo killer? The definition of Halo killer comes from the games sales, not the quality. If we were judging the game based off quality then thats saying that Halo kills games like Half Life and Call of Duty. Which is laughable.
no. Personally i prefer Halo 3 more. I think Team Fortress 2 is a much better MP game as well.
I think Crysis, Bioshock, Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl do a much better job in the single player department.
So no.....and in general i find the Halo 3 MP more fun(sp was crap in both). Halo 3 certainly wins the content department, and a superior community gaming experience(no not the foul mouths, i mean the addition of user generated content, and theatre)
Which gets to my complaint, why the hell are there no mods in Killzone 2? why is it that only Unreal TOurnament 3 does mods on the PS3? :|
Clearly Killzone 2 has set the console FPS benchmark for graphics. Halo however is the biggest franchise of the last two gens. Neither game killed the other especially for people with only one console. The XBOX only play Halo and the PS3 only play Killzone 2.
I don't think anyone ever called Halo 3 the FPS king because of graphics. It has been touted as such do to the huge fanbase and the endurance of the online community. In order for KZ2 to win a crown over Halo 3 in that regard it will have to seell a lot more and keep the online community strong for a couple years. I doubt that will happen. As for graphics, Halo 3 isn't even in the running for top 360 game, let alone overall.
