Building comparison
head to head
Call of Duty: Advanced WarfarevsKillzone 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

A futuristic Call of Duty whose exoskeleton boosts made aerial movement king.
Killzone 2
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A heavyweight sci-fi FPS pitting ISA soldiers against the Helghast with famously weighty gunfeel.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Killzone 2 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Movement tech and class builds are learnable
Killzone 2
Class unlocks and map control are learnable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
