EA: Crysis 2 Will Be a "Halo Killer"

[Caliostro]

Actually I've got the same negative reaction to BC2. From my view while the gameplay is better, its attitude of insulting on MW2 and then laughing at it really pissed me off.

To me BC2 is the same thing as Crysis 2. Its way too focused in beating another game and it makes itself look like a total dick.

Except it wasn't. The marketing was focused on taunting MW2, and it did it beautifully, the design wasn't, especially given the many differences, and the fact that it's a sequel to a game that came out the year before MW2.

Isn't Halo dead to begin with?

Well best of luck to them.

I don't know what it is but I'm getting bored with the CoD series. I'm on the look out for the next big MP. I might have to break my cardinal rule and play a game that is more extra-terrestrial, laser-beam/plasma grenade based weapons, like Halo.

I think I'll rent Halo REACH and give it a good honest try. It'll be the very first HALO game I ever played so to all you HALO masters out there, the ones who can pull of a no-scope headshot from across the map, if you want an easy kill ever 3.25 seconds look for the gamertag: "Manic Laughter."

Unlike other games you will be pitched with people of your skill, not psycho top levelers like on cod.

Apart from the people who have started again for kicks of course, as is, even though cod4 /mw2 sold better and came out later, bungie's matchmaking system is way better.

ah but can it have jet packs and missile launchers and mid-air take downs (my favourite things in reach)

True, but I still fell the game tries too hard to personally put down another game and that just looks very unprofessional.

Again just from my point of view.

Guys it crytek, ever game that they have ever done has been pure gold. Crysis 1 is still one of my favorite FPS it was so amazing. If you wanted to play it like a generic FPS than sure it could be played that way. nut if you guys had more than 1 brain cell you would realize that the game allows you to play what ever style you want. you could be the predator or Arnold Schwarzenegger and everything in between. It is the only game that truely allows you to choose what type of game it should be.

The cry engine is the best engine in the market bar none and it looks great and feels great.

Anyone how says crysis was a generic FPS is either
A) a console peasant who is angry that a console can't handle the greatness of the cry engine
B) a complete retard

I just hope they dont dumb down crysis too much for the peasant's.

Meh, I've never played Halo and I don't plain to but a game isn't "killed" by another game, games die from suicide if you will. It ether milks the cow to the point it's udders fall off or it knows when to stop. The title most of the time a game plays with a razor too much and slashes open it's own throat. There are some RARE cases when a game is killed by another but I can't name any off the top of my head. It's like saying a new MMO will be a WoW killer. In time WoW will kill it's self. Most of the time a new game ether fails and falls under the shadow of the "leader" or competes with it. It's the same with FPS or any other game. That's just my opinion though.

 

[QuickDEMOL1SHER]

Really EA? REALLY? Halo Killer? You guys are so stuck to past traditions you use the term Halo Killer???

That is pretty much over. Halo 3 beat everybody, CoD 4 beat Halo 3 and Reach will almost certainly beat MW2 and then Black ops will beat Reach and so on, until we have the perfect game.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Halo is already dead from CoD...so, it's a bit of a null point...

Plus, I think they are getting a little bigheaded...they have no where near bungies exposure

Hardly, the Halo series has a whole bunch of fans. Including me!

Says you. What about people like T Squared and others like him? I've seen some of the videos of HALO matches online and on TV.

 

[cthulhumythos]

nope. that's all i'll say

 

[duchaked]

say what you want, Halo's still king

Yeah but MLG players infected everything. Yes MLG is virus, not a good one either.

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

M AHAHAHAHAHAHA MA AHAHAHAHAH....Cryisis could not even kill Farcry...... if they do better with the weapons and equipment and pace powers and such better it should be great but its a lulzy poorly paced sandbox game....no thanks...

 

[vaderaider]

I have high hopes for this game but every MMORPG has claimed it will be a World of Warcraft killer and completely failed.

 

[Ninjaghostdog]

Thats like saying the next sonic will be a LBP killer.

FPS Food Chain

Halo<CoD<Rage<Episode 3<Crysis 2<Half-Life 3

That's how I see things going down. For a pure (no RPG elements) story-driven shooter, nothing has so far topped HL2. Half-Life wasn't dethroned until it's sequel, and it's no different for the second one. Anyone arguing otherwise is more concerned with multiplayer. Half-Life knocked id out of the running, and the only way Gordon will be dethroned is if he does it himself.

i feel that halo wasnt good to begin with and i rather enjoyed the original call of duty and crysis. but i feel we are misinterpreting it i feel its more of an expression now days like the cake is a lie which has recently trickled down to the console gamers in my school. (about bloody time)
