Killzone 2 beats Halo 3 in every respect, including graphics, AI, multiplayer, and gameplay. It is a much better shooter overall, and unless you're a die hard Xbox fan, you will agree with me.

Best thing about Halo is it keeps all the annoying kids away from better online shooters out there.

I played the first Halo on the PC for about 3 months online. Could not bear to finish the single player, and have not played any other Halo games for as long as did the first. It was a good game though, I just did not like it.

Halo are great games, not my favourite but it does have aawesome split screen. Bit in NO way does it have better A.I. than killzone 2, no way.

Hey I love Halo. Books, comics, games, it's such a deep univers with incredible opportunity for story telling. But give it to Guerilla, they made a great game with KZ2. I love it.

Halo's fun because its gameplay is amazing. Its story is great and its multiplayer is addictive and the best on consoles. Plus I havent played any game on any console with a level as epic as "the ark" in halo 3 this generation.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="Episode_Eve"] The vehicles are hilarious and fun. The only game to match it in design I think is UT 2004.rofflecopter_
I disagree, there are plenty of others in terms of design that exeed either. Non the less Halo's vehicle physics always made the handling entertaining... bar Halo 2. I do miss invulnerable vehicles though.... it was a very interesting dynamic in the first Halo...

in the first halo it was time restraints and hardware limitations that lead to invulnerable vehicles

Hardware limitations? That is surprising, though I could see time being the issue.

I love HALO.... but I actually like the SP Campaign in Halo3 more than the MP..... except for ROCKET RACE.... OMG! FUN TO DA MAX!

I loved Halo2's MP..... and although I know Halo3's is superior, its just not as much fun for me, for some reason. Maybe because I'm not as good at 3 as I was with 2, I dunno....

But Halo3's gameplay is superb, its just plain fun.... can't wait til the inevitable Halo4. Which will be a launch title for the Next XBOX.... count on it.

I personally never understood what made the AI so great. The little whiny dudes just ran around crying all the time waiting for you to shoot them and the big grunts just ran at you guns ablaze. I guess I probably should have played it on Legendary like everyone says... but I got bored of the game long before considering playing it on a harder difficulty.

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl has good AI. I think it also has a lot to do with the openness of the world allowing them to more freely choose modes of attack over the corridors in Halo.

pft halo 3 and halo wars, ,

well they fall below the quality of goldeneye, timesplitters halo 1 , and perfect dark so um no, nothing makes halo 2 -and up the best there fore like many otther series games such as per\fect dark zero and most of the 007 games ea made,

halo is just an avaerage series that got the xbox started nothing more,

and thats pretty sad because as i pointed out in my wii ps3 09 thread thats all microsoft is offering

well guess what microsoft, i got 3 words for you because once sony passes your sales overall total ,, which will happen

get to packing!

What are cows ranting about Killzones AI? We all know that is it's weakest link...you think timed sequence events are a good testament of smart AI? In Halo, nothing ever happens quite the same, every time you play the enemies will behave in a different manner...while Killzone 2, most of the time, it runs on scripted events. Don't believe me? Read the reviews... Halo >>> Killzone 2 in the AI department.

Cybiotik

You beat the killzone 2 on elite?

You beat Halo on Legendary? haha...

AI is ridiculous in KZ2. Hell, on normal they sit back when hurt behind boxes poking the gun around cover with pretty damn accurate shooting...

matchmaking is horrible, and there's no point to "ranking up"... you get nothing out of being better than others at the game... or even simply playing more games. And if by 'party system' you mean... playing games with others... wat? That's like the biggest part of CoD. They have to have a tdm where they DON'T allow parties.

This game was originally pc game, they should just make halo pc exclusive keep all kids away from the game :lol:

but bungie's too money hungry to do that, they rather water down experience by making it console kid game.

yeah, I read it. And from what ive seen, and a fact in which everyone widely accepts... KZ2's Ai uses halo 3's as a toilet...

Everything in your post is wrong. Do a bit more reaserch next time and not try to oppose the obvious.

The AI???

The enemy AI os ok. Though the ally AI was terrible...

Remember the driving sections? You never really got to use the turrets becuase that would mean a bot driving, and they smashed into just about everything rolling over...

Ai wise, Killzone 2 beats it.

Though yes overall the halo series is great.

Ok the enemies are pretty good. Though if someone were to say better than KZ2 enemy AI I'd disagree. Halo is a good series because its got a great online mode, good enemies and great level design. None of the plevels were boring and the setting changed every so often making it feel fresh, and not all the same.

Hmm, I think it's a close call though. You can see that the enemies work together in Halo with Brutes as the leaders, grunts tag along but work together if they're in high numbers. Kamikaze attempts as a last resort. Great use of bubble shields, shield power-ups etc.

I wrote this in another ''Killzone 2 vs Halo'' thread reguarding the A.I and I stand by it! :)

I agree too....EXCEPT for one little thing....the AI. Ive had a chance to play Killzone 2 a decent amount, the Bots in the MP a good, just short of great IMO they do their job (''turtle up'' if they are an assassination target and hunt and defend when the game calls for it). In the campaign though (and Mp to a degree) they rely on ''AI cheats''. On the harder settings they simply do more damage and gain more hit points.

However in Halo 3 on higher difficulties enemies will actually get ''smarter'' and tougher. Drones will swarm closer together and coordinate their fire on targets, Brutes will deploy equipment when the siduation calls for it more often (Eg. if a cheiftan is in danger, his bodyguard will deploy a regenerator), if the player hides from a squad of covenant, their CO will order one troop to lure them out, If you kill a Grunts brute commander they will flee in fear or prime two grenades and attempt a suicide run..I could go on

Plus you can alter their A.I to offer a greater challage with the skull system and not to mention that there is a much larger enemy sandbox in Halo 3. All in all what Im trying to say is Ive found whislt the AI in Killzone is solid (the flanking and diving for cover in particular) its just no where near as versitle and adaptive as Halo 3s. At least thats my two cents of it all.

damn straight.
Also killzone 2 is simply better in every regard unless you like watching rainbows or reading sci-fi novels

if killzone 2 and halo 3 were released at the same time kz2 would make halo get scored A-AA

i don't think the AI is that great. FEAR had better AI, so does crysis. i do know what u mean with the party system. i think every multiplayer should have that in their games and even the split screen online. iam2green
Crysis has better AI? You got to be joking. The AI in crysis is the dumbest I have ever seen. Crysis on the highest difficulty isn't difficult at all but Halo is.

KZ2 got a 9.0, face it.

rofflecopter_
no halo 1,2,3 got 9.7-9.4-9.5 face it.

halo 1 would not even be close to a 9 if it was released now. The more games that come out the harder it is to get a good score. Anyway the halo single player goes downhill in every version. It's only good for mp now.

[QUOTE="iam2green"]i don't think the AI is that great. FEAR had better AI, so does crysis. i do know what u mean with the party system. i think every multiplayer should have that in their games and even the split screen online. Deihmos

Crysis has better AI? You got to be joking. The AI in crysis is the dumbest I have ever seen. Crysis on the highest difficulty isn't difficult at all but Halo is.

in many games if you are shooting them from a hill above they will just stand there and let you kill them, in crysis the are very good at running into the bushes where you can't see them and then come up behind you. Few other games have ai that will do that. Also crysis has open level halo has linear level which is very easy to make good ai in.
