How on earth does this happen by mistake? Answer, it doesn’t — and if it does someone should be made to answer. Yes, it is funny, but from a marketing stand point it is free publicity for Killzone 2, and one can only imagine that Microsoft is not happy about it. And from the other side of the fence, fans of Killzone 2 are probably upset that their graphics are being used to falsely promote Halo 3.
