The first thing that I thought when I heard about this game-changing gun on the news was the fact that we could be looking at a new weapon for the next Call of Duty Game – or maybe a DLC for any modern combat games currently on the market?

Guys like me and you are never interested in knowing what new weapon has been developed to help the fight overseas, but games such as CoD has made us more aware of what weapons are currently out there. So what makes this gun so special?

Michael Mathes from Yahoo News explains that this prototype has a smart grenade launcher that can be programmed thanks to new microchipped ammunition. This means that you can select your target to shoot, even if they are hiding behind a wall.

The XM25 Rifle is now in the hands of some units in Afghanistan, and insurgence had better hope that they do not come up against this formidable weapon, which looks like something Master Chef from Halo should be carrying. The weapon can shoot out a 25mm air-bursting shell up to 700 meters, which is further than any other rifle on the battlefield. This is one tough rifle.

Would you like to see the XM25 Rifle in the next Call of Duty title?

However, we have just discovered that the graphics of the game have been pitted side-by-side against Killzone 2.

If you visit Game Reactor, you will see a series of screenshots of Halo: Reach and Killzone 2 placed one above the other. You can click on the image to enlarge them – this will allow you to study them in detail to draw your own conclusions.

Halo: Reach was released on September 14th, and in that time has gone on and broken the online play record, which Jamie Pert has explained in more detail. Killzone 2 has been around since 2009, which leads me to this thought.

It is unfair for Halo: Reach to be compared to a game that is a year-and-half old. We would like to see Killzone 3 compared, since that is due for release on February 22, 2011, and since halo reach just come out, this is a better match up than the one Game Reactor did.
