EA Claim Crysis 2 is a Halo Killer
EA Games label president, Frank Gibeau has recently claimed in an interview of EA’s intentions to build a “Halo-Killer”. Considering they also have ex lead ‘Call of Duty’ staff building another huge title - EA are sure feeling somewhat ambitious!

IndustryGamers Interview:
Gibeau said: “We were trying to craft a Halo-killer, 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.”
In Crysis 2, New York is under the attack of a unique and frightening alien species that combines deadly weaponry, exceptional sensory abilities and intelligent collaboration to present players with the most challenging opponents ever seen in a first person shooter. Surrounded by devastation, players must assess the situations they encounter, adapt to this urban jungle and use the weapons and powers given solely to them to save New York.
Crysis 2 is also the first game that Crytek has developed for a simultaneous PC and console release. The game is due out at the end of the year, but if it is a so called “Halo-Killer” then it would have succeeded where other games have failed.
Can they reckon with the mighty force of the Halo fanbase?

Will you be able to do all the cool physics sandbox things people have done in Crysis on the 360?
How many games have claimed this and then been laughably bad though?
A heck ton.
please, nothing will be a halo killer.
Agreed…unless it has forge, theatre modes, & tons of matchmaking options. Even then, it’s doubtful.
Nothing good was going to come of that statement. I’m not a Halo fan, never will be, but whatever it is that makes people love the game, coming out and claiming your game will kill it is just asking for the fans of that game to unload on you. Be humble and just let your game speak for itself, if its better people will let you know with their wallets and their online hours.
completely agreed. this guy was asking for it
i dont think halo will be killed the game is a great one so fare theres no game that will beat it
MW2 killed Halo…
Nobody say anything about modern warfare… its not anything like halo, and halo IS the best. Halo Reach will be the second coming of Christ! thats how huge it is, and will not be killed by any game. but i do look forward to playing crysis 2. still CoD sucks in comparison to Halo
I like that, - good reply
“the second coming of Christ!” I literally choked!!!
If y’all haven’t noticed E3 votes say that Crysis 2 is the most anticipated game of the year with 11%. Halo: Reach is a tiny 7% even Zelda: Wii is at 10%. So all the Halo fans out there, Halo has finally met its match. So Sorry….
Sort of. Crysis is multi-platform, I’d expect the numbers to be higher. It’ll be the sales numbers that matter. If the reviews are bad the PS3 people will put in another blue-ray disk and the PC people will wait for the crack from China, lol.

duke nukem will batter halo reach …….eventually
second thoughts it won’t cause it will never arrive
crytek has yet to prove they can work within the constraints of a console. It’s probably easier to make an engine that 95% of peoples PC’s won’t run, at least until a couple years go by. We shall see.
There have been arguments like this for a long time. Quake was considered the best FPS until Half Life came along back in the day on PC. I believe that if any game is going to change their minds about Halo being the best FPS then Crysis 2 is that game. The technology is there, the talent and ambition. Crytek is building a monster, wherever you come down, don’t doubt that.
