Crysis 2 ‘is a Halo Killer’? Those are risky words

Crysis 2

Crysis 2 hasn’t been afraid of comparing itself to or criticising some of gaming’s legendary titles having previously had a shot at both the Halo and COD MW2 stories.

And according to early previews it may be well in it’s right to to be proud with reports coming out that the graphics in Crysis 2 are going to blow us all away.

However EA has taken that extra step into dangerous territory now by stating that they are aiming for Crysis 2 to be a ‘Halo Killer’.

These are the same words once used by the utterly underwhelming Haze and good but not legendary Killzone series.

According to Frank Gibeau, EA Games label president,

“We were trying to craft a Halo-killer,”

He then goes on to say

“You know, a product that would squarely go after what Bungie built with our partners at Crytek. So the Crysis 2 product is spectacular, very high-end, and is going to be a multi-year franchise.”

Halo killer or not I am looking forward to seeing how Crysis 2 turns out.

    The only Halo killer is the next Halo game.

    Why do people keep comparing their games to that horribly generic FPS? Halo is not a great game, not even for it’s time.

    Dude, for 2001 Halo blew everything open!

    You can thank Halo for every console fps since.

      I have to agree, Halo 2 was one of the most awesome games ever made! pity it didn’t make it to our shores, Halo 3 was ok, I’m not quite sure what they were trying to do with ODST, but REACH is going to be phenomenal! I’ve never been a crysis fan personally.

    i never got into this whole Halo hype thing. Just a normal shooter, and an overly milked franchise

    I’ve never played any halo game before Halo 3 and I must say – 4 player co-op was awesome. I’ve done multiple play throughs with friends. I’ve never played Crysis, this is not going to be on the console right?

    One thing is certain – it’ll be a gorgeous looking game.
    Whether the rest of it will come together remains to be
    seen.

    Why do we need a Halo killer? I think Halo did that itself by being complete shyte.
