Killzone 3 or Crysis 2 (Your opinions)

Post » Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:07 pm

I have both, I'd keep both but if you're dying to get rid of KZ3 for this game wait until they fix the myriad of SP and MP issues. The campaign can look great at times but later in the game it gets this horrible huge blocky film grain and waves across the screen (kinda like a bad cable TV reception). So later in the game (starting with the rain level) many scenes look really bad unfortunately. The sound gets messed up at parts late in the game too and the AI becomes stupid and fails to present much challenge even on harder difficulties. I still like the game but you'll have a much better experience after they patch it (and if they fix the issues?).

The MP is a bit messed up as well, many of the amount of hit's it takes to kill a person or die is completely random so 2 shots in the leg may kill you or the other guy when in full armour. It goes both ways but it's not that fun when a lot of the skill is taken out of the combat. I'd say right now you'll have a better time with KZ3 MP.

Also, the spawn system is sometimes messed up, yesterday an enemy spawned right in front of me when the match started, he didn't have a fair chance to survive at all.

The game has a lot of potential to be amazing but right now it more frustrating but it does have great moments when the aforementioned bugs aren't bringing it down.

You didn't say anything about multiplayer in the post I replied to.

Re-read your post.

Personally, i found KZ3 way more frustrating than C2 as for now. In KZ3 the whole lag issue is well hidden within their netcode, so you won't even recognize it a lot of times. Both multiplayer parts are somehow broken, but i enjoy C2 more because of the feeling. I just wish they get to work and fix it quick.

Crysis 2 is much better then Killzone 3.

in killzone 1 class has only 3 weapons!! C'mon man!!
so that's why crysis 2 is better!
(and cuz it's awesome)

Both mp are broken mess ,but at least hit detection on kz3 works. ai on crysis sp is woeful , whilst kz3 ai is amazing . Campaign is more sandbox style in crysis if that's ur thing, whereas kz3 more linear.
Story is not good in either game.
Both are fun IMO in sp, but out the two I prefer kz3 as it's less cod and more bc2, and hit detection actually works.

Killzone 3 eats this game for breakfast!! Killzone had a few glitches in the beginning but i never had a problem with it most of it was just ppl comlaining that they changed it so much form killzone 2!!!! i put countless hours in kz2 and in my opinion 3 is better!!! And to the guy that said it is unbalanced and broken you obviously have never played it!!! It kills this game in mp!! I found crysis 2 a little too easy for my liking!! i dunno that might just be me!! but with the issues this game has visual wise and performance wise id say KZ3!!!!! hail to the helghan!!

Actually, I've had it since before Uk release, and it is unbalanced. Weapons are all over the place, abilities are restricted to classes (in combinations which promise frustration) and the shooting mechanics are just plain awful. Killzone 3 has the better game modes, but Crysis 2 mp is better in every single other way.

I got killzone 3 the day it came out and ever since i thought the game was good but it felt unfinished. I'm a massive killzone fan, i loved the second game but I'm disappointed that killzone 3 has many features missing from the game. I felt like trading it, but i kept it to see if GG patch the game well enough that it would be worth keeping.

I went out and got Crysis 2 yesterday and i am loving it. Makes COD look old, and killzone 3 look like a beta(it is). I feel you die really quick in Crysis Mp even when armor is active, but I'm Loving the game. It could do with some network polish as alot of people have very low connection ratings, but apart from that the game is top notch.

If you have a HD TV this game will really show you how good these consoles can be. Crysis 2 is alot of fun and crytek have a new fan!

You will never get a smoother, bug free game than KILLZONE 3. Unlike Crysis 2 which is one of the worst bug ridden games ever released !!!

Killzone 3 is a headache.

I got Crysis to and man I got to say those headaches have gone away lol.

The online runs so smooth for me, i dont know about you guys with crappy internet connections. The host migration is perfect. I have never gotten an online error. Can connect to games fine. Get into matches quick and painless. No, skipping music. No stat resets, no missing unlock points. No, map rotation glitch. No spotty hit detection. Unlocking takes a long time. Great, long single player. Best part, going invisible isn't over powered, quite balanced and isn't abused (ahem, marksman).

The guns are great. Add custom scopes and attachments. Theres a counter ability for each ability for load outs. The game play is sweet. You know how many ppl wondered if they could slide on the ground online in KZ3 like in single player? You can't, BUT, you can do it here and shoot at the same time!! No, grenade spamming. No one hit melees. Great matchmaking. Great game modes.

Just less of a headache. With all these games coming out with online issues like Homefront where you just sit in lobbies all day. Killzone 3 and its unbalance of 1 class, glitch DLC, online errors, frame rate drop in warzone, spotty hit detection, lack of game modes, UNRANKED custom servers coming, and WEEKS for a patch to come out, its nice to play a COMPLETE GAME.

I loved KZ1 & 2 and those were my FPS of choice no matter what was out. The franchise has stalled right now, or just got a flat tire. I can't ride till I die with the latest KZ entry, sorry.

I see these same moronic posts on every new shooter forum, whether it's bc2 Vietnam, black ops, kz3 or crysis 2. Some idiot blames everyone else's connections for the connection problems that people are having. I have had no issues with kz3 online at all, but others have had issues . I had issues galore on 360 demo of crysis 2 whilst others had none. It's all down to the games net code, there's people on forums who have awesome download speeds and ping speeds( far more important than download speed), and have red bars in this game. The host choice seems bad in the code , and so there are many issues.

It seems it's nothing to do with ur connection but on how lucky u are. I have a 10mb optic broadband with 35 ms ping( not huge download speed but pretty good ping ) and had no issues with halo reach or bc2 or mw2 and kz3 , but black ops was impossible to play.
So can ppl quit with the it's ur connection bs.

Finally, get a grip ppl, games been out a week ffs, if they haven't sorted out full in month, then have a moan and then get rid. If u that bothered by it now, get rid, but one way or another grow a pair of balls and man up.

I have to agree with you 100 percent. Althought Crysis 2 has potential (keyword being potential), Killzone 3 has been more apealing to me so far. I think that if Crytek can patch a few things here and there and get the multiplayer to run smoothly then I will slowly be switching over to Crysis. Wouldn't it be great if Crysis 2 had Killzone 3's smoothness and lag free gameplay for online? Wow now that's a game I would invest in!

1. Battlefield 3
2. Modernwarfare 3
3. Socom 4
4. Crysis 2
5. BRINK
