"Killer" started from "Killer app"
Some random site admin used the term "Halo killer" as he was excitingly hyping KZ1.
Some fans (I dont know how many, I didnt frequent forums back then) picked up on it.
With KZ2, Halo fans seem to use it as a "not better then mine" statement knowing very well that it's impossible to "kill" a game.
To have a game killer you would need to first discribe what that is.
Well lets see....

I'd say no... not by any means.

jk halo is the reason there is lemmings in the first place, nothing will cause infidelity in this relationship :]
very few fps games have a cover system and it has best graphics
PrinceofSarcasm
That doesn't make it better. Say a 2009 games has better graphics than a 2007 game is like saying the Xbox is more powerful than a Nintendo 64....
Yea right, a game series that comes out every year now with the same stuff (some of them are really cool, don't get me wrong).Nope, but Call of Duty did. :P

Call Of Duty 4 Killed Halo 3 in 2007...but halo was never alive for me, so I dunnoAgentA-Mi6And yet Halo scored better and more people play it despite the fact COD4 is on 3 platforms :lol:
I don't understand the whole 'Halo Killer' thing. I mean, Killzone 2 is exclusive to PS3, Halo 3 is exlusive to Xbox 360. They both have they're own fanbases. Halo will forever have a huge fanbase because its an established franchise. Even if Killzone 2 scored and sold better than Halo, it will still have hundreds and thousands of people playing it every day.
Call Of Duty 4 Killed Halo 3 in 2007...but halo was never alive for me, so I dunnoAgentA-Mi6Is that why Halo 3 was the most played Xbox 360 game of 2007 and 2008?
Well, let's see:
Sales: the winner is Halo 3, easily. We don't know how much Killzone 2 has sold thus far, but it certainly won't sell millions within days like Halo 3, and it won't outsell it either.
Scores: Halo 3 scored higher on significant sites and is more critically acclaimed than Killzone 2.
Online: Halo 3 topped in 2007, 2008 and has hit 1B matches. It has more players than Killzone 2, certainly, even one and a half year after release.
Answer: no, it did not kill Halo 3.

'360 game,' not 'game.'
All that means is that 360 fans fell in love with Halo 3 more than CoD4.
9.5 > 9.0.
Halo sold more. Halo is played online more. And Halo 3 scored higher on Gamespot. Therefore, Killzone once again didn't measure up to Halo. 3rd times a charm, eh Guerrilla? We'll see...

Halo 3 is above even the "released a year and 2 months after" world at war now. And seriously, halo 3 from a gameplay perspective goesmiles deeper than cod49.5 > 9.0.

Just after a month after its release Killzone 2 has less people playing it online than halo 3... Do i need to add anything else? :)
Love killzone 2, finished it and it definitely is graphically superior than halo 3 and it's by far the best fps shooter on ps3 but the halo 3 community is just too big, and for a good reason, it's just fun to play online... riding jeeps, flying running and fragging...tons of different online modes... you just may not like it but millons do :)
can someone explain to me why games have to "kill" eachother?
why cant you just let halo be halo, and let killzone be killzone?
its just people trying to justify to themselves that they bought the right console.can someone explain to me why games have to "kill" eachother?
