Halo Wars is killing it in sales in the US.
And for me the game is only ok. I'm more honest and yes if you pay attention the game has some terrible low grade textures in some places. It's all lighting and mtion blur to hide this at first glance.
Anyway the game gets boring after a bit. And becomes just another ok FPS game. Still does not hold a candle to Halo 3 and especialy COD4
Killzone 2 is a FLOP!!!
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Any game with the name HALO will sell more then Killzone, and if you zoom in close enough to any game the textures are bad, even crysis, go crawl back up master chief's ass.
I actually enjoyed Killzone 2, and it`s sad it will never get the sales it deserves when any game with Halo in it will blow it away.
And people pick out any little thing they can to bash the game, Muddy textures, this game is the most beautiful console game I have ever played, even my girlfriend thought it looked amazing and she doesn`t like video games (besides animal crossing : P)
I felt the story had a neo nazi atmosphere, I thought it was pretty good maybe not great but I liked it.
The back story is actually really good, sadly you have to go to the killzone website an read the story timeline, they could have put it in the game. Also anything with the Halo in it will sell even more so in America where its pretty much Xbox territoy. I would like to see the figures for Europe where the playstation is more popular.
Halo Wars is a game with the Halo name on it. Killzone 2 is a game with the Killzone name on it. Remember Killzone? Of course not.
Halo Wars is selling because it's Halo. If it had another name on it, it wouldn't be nearly as successful.
Must we always compare!!?!?!!

I mean I haven't played Halo Wars yet, but since it comes from a reputable developer I'm sure they did something right. I mean Killzone 2 definitely deserves sales, they both do.
I really liked the game. And if you are trying to imply that halo is better than killzone 2 you are horribly wrong. The games multiplayer blows most other games out of the water, including your precious halo. The thing I did not like about Killzone two was the friendly AI and the characters in general. Rico just seemed abnoxious when all he says is "WOO, YEAH LETS FUCK HIGS UP" every 20 seconds.

He's a troll, though.
Stories in FPS's are usually bad or poorly told. This game is selling well with 750k in it's first week. It's not going to sell as well as Halo or COD because it doesn't have nearly the name recognition. In the long run it could easily outsell Halo Wars once people realize you're not Master Chief and you're not shooting anything. It doesn't mention anything on it about being a strategy game. The mainstream audience doesn't realize that Microsoft isn't selling them the traditional Halo shooter. It doesn't even need to be anything like Halo, it's not Halo.
Well honestly NO Halo 3 online Blows Killzone away. Why you say Halo 3 has so many different modes to play. You will get bored of just shooting in Killzone 2. Why Halo 3 online just keeps on ticking like the Enigizer bunny.
By the way they are incorperating Halo OSDT into Halo 3 online so it will only continue to be the besat online game that and of course COD 4 and COD 6

"People who think of video games in terms of flops and hits should gtfo."
People who think like the TC should gtfo; people who think in terms of flops and hits are welcome to stay, they are valid terms. It's only important that they are used in the correct context.
Well it's not surprising since it's a PS3 product..what do you expect? Basically I'm surprised they're still in producing them. I expect the PS4 to be a major competitor..for the Wii.
I like this guy. He's really consistent. His posts consist of nothing but three factors:
- PS3 games have worse graphics/are worse in general than 360 games no matter what.
- Xbox 360 games are god's descendants and have brilliant graphics no matter what.
- His follow-up posts are generally more retarded than his initial posts.
I consider myself a Halo fan, and the first game was amazing. I loved every minute of it (ok maybe not all the Flood parts) and thoroughly enjoyed the story. Then the next two came along and I was quite disappointed. The cliffhanger in Halo 2 and the horrible story in Halo 3 made me pretty angry. Sure the multiplayer was great, but the Halo story was missing in action. Now I just bought a PS3, and it hasn't arrived yet, but I did already buy Killzone 2 and am waiting to play it. I have to say, if you are looking for something new in an FPS you won't find it in any of the current gen's FPS games. It isn't about if Killzone 2 brings something new to the table (it might with it's multiplayer), it's about it doing what already is being done well. And from what I've seen of it, and played of it at my friend's house, I'd say it does. It's kind of annoying how many people keep trying to compare FPS games to Halo as if it is the crowning achievement of the gaming world. It got a lot of hype which it didn't deserve, people need to be more realistic about how good a game is. Halo 3 IS NOT GREAT, it's good.

Also halo 1 is the highest rated FPS of all time, halo 3 is the 3rd (after orange box and bioshock)
I don't really consider the word "flop" with sales at all. I've played KZ2, and I definitely don't think its an absolutely amazing game or anything,I think its a well made shooter though, and thats more than enough for me to enjoy it far more than I do Halo Wars. Its just too simplified of a game for me, and I know Ensemble could of gone out far better.
If a flop just means not selling quite as high to you though, then I guess you can feel correct. Also, praising Halo and insulting Half Life is like insulting a retarded kid for being so...its just stupid, and you make yourself look like a moron.
What the hell is wrong with you and Killzone 2?? Are you so insecure that you need to constantly attempt to prove to us that Killzone 2 is crap and we should all burn our PS3s and buy a 360 for every tv in our home?? You don't have to keep beating us over the head with your opinion of KZ2, when most of us are obviously not taking you seriously. If you want to make a topic on how well Halo Wars is doing, fine, but compairing it to Killzone 2 sales really doesn't mean anything except Halo Wars sold more copies.
