----------------------------------- BenLi Sat Jul 29, 2006 5:19 pm killzone vs halo ----------------------------------- i've recently come into possession of killzone, for an impressive $10. Best thing i've ever gotten for $10 btw. I've also played Halo one and two. What do you guys think? Killzone or Halo? For me Killzone because: - killzone is 1280x1024 while halo is 640 * 480 - better graphics with only occasional slowdowns - primary and secondary fire on almost all weapons - distinct weapon - campaigns more fun than halo - Four playable characters have uniques paths through levels results in excellent replayability - multiplayer is tight -interesting storyline -better sound ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Jul 29, 2006 5:47 pm Re: killzone vs halo ----------------------------------- killzone is 1280x1024 while halo is 640 * 480 Whaaa?! ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jul 29, 2006 6:36 pm ----------------------------------- you've definitely got the graphics settings wrong then ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:30 pm ----------------------------------- - multiplayer is tight Did you go to Westwood College, by chance? Sorry if it seems like I'm just ripping on you, but these are really weak points. Especially the multiplayer one. Anyway, did you only play Halo on an XBox? ----------------------------------- Clayton Tue Aug 01, 2006 7:38 pm ----------------------------------- Id take Halo on a computer any day, however, i dont have the luxury of being able to go on whenever i want, so XBox is what im stuck with *sigh* ----------------------------------- HellblazerX Tue Aug 01, 2006 8:34 pm ----------------------------------- Whaa! Killzone's on computer???!! And only 10 bucks???!!! Dude, you gotta tell me where you bought it! ----------------------------------- BenLi Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:10 am ----------------------------------- no killzone is not on computer, and toys r us has it for cheap and actually, i've played halo both on computer and xbox, and i thought playing it on xbox was quite a bit better because the controls were just perfect, whereas killzone's controls are a bit less intuitive. And for all of you who criticize killzone's online multiplayer... have you guys actually played it? ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Aug 02, 2006 1:21 pm ----------------------------------- I'm almost positive that Halo on a PC can go past 640x480. Even on mine. As for 1280x1024 on a console... I'm no HDTV connoiseur, but are you sure that isn't bullshit? And I don't think anyone was criticizing Killzone's multiplayer. I just found your comment [url=http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-7675519043804402267&q=westwood+college]funny. ----------------------------------- HellblazerX Wed Aug 02, 2006 8:33 pm ----------------------------------- no killzone is not on computer Grrr, you got my hopes up for nothing. Just for that, I'm voting for Halo. Btw, I'd have to agree with Mazer on this whole 1280x1024 thing for Killzone. Those dimesions seem a bit farfetched. Are you sure that you weren't refering to Killzone 2? Cuz that would make more sense. I'm pretty sure the only console out there that could support those dimensions is Xbox360. Also, I like the Halo controls on the PC, mainly because I like to melee alot :twisted: . With the XBox controls, you can't turn around while meleeing, whereas on the PC, you only sacrifice the ability to strafe right to melee. ----------------------------------- Andy Thu Aug 03, 2006 8:10 am ----------------------------------- umm there is no such thing as 1280x1024 for the tv.. HD resolutions are either 480i/p 720i/p or 1080i/p ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Thu Aug 03, 2006 8:20 am ----------------------------------- on the PC, you only sacrifice the ability to strafe right to melee. How is that? I voted for Killzone, since I'm sure it's a more worthy game than Halo. ----------------------------------- Andy Thu Aug 03, 2006 10:18 am ----------------------------------- maybe, but not because of the reasons he listed ----------------------------------- HellblazerX Thu Aug 03, 2006 11:37 am ----------------------------------- "]on the PC, you only sacrifice the ability to strafe right to melee. How is that? The key for meleeing is F, while the key for right strafe is D. So when you want to melee, you move your finger from D to F. ----------------------------------- BenLi Thu Aug 03, 2006 1:06 pm ----------------------------------- the resolution is something i heard, hmm better check out my sources ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Thu Aug 03, 2006 1:13 pm ----------------------------------- maybe, but not because of the reasons he listed No, not because of the reasons he listed. :) The key for meleeing is F, while the key for right strafe is D. So when you want to melee, you move your finger from D to F. Ah, well if you don't want to sacrifice moving right, the change the key to 'Q' or something else. You sacrifice one thing for another, but it's you're choice what to sacrifice. This is definately not something to judge a game by... ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Aug 03, 2006 1:31 pm ----------------------------------- "Meleeing" as in a melee attack? Why not bind it to a mouse button? ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Thu Aug 03, 2006 7:47 pm ----------------------------------- "Meleeing" as in a melee attack? Why not bind it to a mouse button? I guess you could, but the mouse buttons are usually taken up by shoot + secondary fire of some sort. Guess that's not a problem if you've got one of those 15 button mice, though. :) ----------------------------------- Clayton Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:47 am ----------------------------------- 15 button mice? Whaaaaaaa!? ----------------------------------- Sun Aug 06, 2006 10:18 am ----------------------------------- Whaa! Killzone's on computer???!! And only 10 bucks???!!!
