I have played both and love them both but I want to know what everyone thinks. Personally I like Killzone better for the AI, easier story, and bad-ass guns.

I really didn't care for Killzone. I think Halo has a better story, better controls and better enemies.
To be fair, I've never played Killzone 1. Though I've heard it's not as good so it probably wouldn't sway me. I like to be able to jump in games.

I have played neither, and rather enjoy Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2.

On a side note, if I wanted to be dishonest I would just say Halo 3 because poking fun at PS3 fans is a lot more satisfying. They have a larger vocabulary than the Xbox 360 fanboys, and have this whole mac-useresque sense of superiority about them. So much fun to enrage!

Hmm Halo 3 vs. "Gears of World War II". I'll go for Halo 3.
Okay...I really hope you know how foolish that statement makes you look. The original Killzone was released in 2004, a full two years before Gears of War?s 2006 release. Unless Guerrilla had planned to make a game about daisies and buttercups until seeing what EPIC threw up in 2008 then you can?t say that they borrowed from Gears of War 2.

On topic both games have their pros and cons though personally I preferred Killzone 2. Much of it comes from the fact that both games were enjoyable to play but Killzone 2 had a proper last level. There really was no challenge to the ending of Halo 3 if you were anyway good at vehicle sections while the final battle of Killzone 2 was intense.

As for the online offerings, thank God Killzone 2 didn?t opt for that annoying matchmaking system used by Halo 3. I can?t remember how many times it found one less opponent than it required so it started the whole damned process again. Killzone 2 is the superior game, though that said Guerilla did have an extra two years over Bungie to perfect their product.

Incomparable. The games are just too different and I love them both. I like Killzone 2 a tiny bit better than Halo 3, but they're just too different to make any kind of accurate comparison. You should add a "I like them both equally" option.

In fanboy realm there is no such thing as "like them both equally".

If you do you are an error and you shall be assimilated resistence is futile!

Despite my fanboy's instincts to vote for Halo 3, I didn't as I haven't played killzone 2 and it looks pretty good.

I'm no fanboy! I'm a Halo 3 and Killzone 2 "enthusiast." Besides, I'm buddies with the Gravemind. You can't "assimilate" me, I'm a partially infected Flood! MWHAHAHAHAHA

Really they aren't even close to comparison, other than FPS they have almost nada in common.

I'll abstain from voting as I haven't played Killzone 2. I'm pretty sure I'll like Halo 3 a lot more if I ever do though.

I'v played both and I have to say both have there good and bad points ,in my opinion. Halo's story was kindda bland, while killzone's story was well planed out. But killzone's multiplayer gets alittle chaotic too often at times, ie. explosions goin off ALL over the place, while halo is a more simpler more pick up and play kindda thing. MY opinions not fact, but down to the point i like killzone 2 better.

I prefer (note the word "prefer") Halo 3, merely because it's what most my friends play as well as what the rest of my family knows how to play. There's nothing like a system linked game of 4 on 4 CTF one side of the family vs. the other. Especially when you're yelling back and forth upstairs to downstairs about how your cousin sucks with the Sniper Rifle.

That being said I don't have a problem with Killzone 2, except that it's the most over hyped thing since... well Halo 3. Also, PS3 fanboys, as Zankabo said, are much more fun to make fun of.

EDIT: PS. Vs threads are frowned upon...

You CAN jump in Killzone 2.

I like killzone 2 because of the classes and the ability to rank up and the challenges you have to complete to get the ribbons which actually give you some cool rewards (even the extra points per objective or special kill feels like it's worth it). The warzone mode is also very cool, and special abilities like spawn grenades and cloaking and disguising oneself are fun to play with, although not always original. Also the multiplayer maps with all their complexity are great fun to play on because the way they are designed lets you approach the game in many different ways. Also teamwork is required by the game to win due to the limit on the skills you as a single player are allowed to use at any given time, while in halo 3 the most teamwork demanding aspects are vehicles and game mode. The boss fights and mini boss fights were really satisfying. The ending was also really my sort of ending. Also killzone 2 has (or had) bots that you could play against.

I like Halo 3 because I can play coop or versus with four friends on the same machine+tv setup. It also has a limited map editor (can't create entirely new maps but you can modify the placement of certain objects within them) called forge which you can use to modify a map WITH your friends (online and offline). Also the weapon selection seemed more varied than the weapon selection in killzone 2. And killzone's story mode felt a bit short and extraordinarily ordinary as in the most memorable parts of the story were the boss fights, while Halo 3's story was engaging enough that i felt the need to play the first two if only for story. Halo 3 also had a party mode. I can't begin to tell you how annoying it is to get 5 guys in the same room in Killzone 2. I loved the feel of piloting the Warthog and the tank.

And for the record, i have both games. I can't say I like one over the other though because of the timing I just happen to be playing more killzone 2 than halo 3 at the moment.
