>>77455 No no, Wolfenstien 3d, the first two Doom's, Quakes 1 and 2, Brothers in Arms, Half-life 1, FEAR, The CoD Series, Fallout, and then depending on how you define FPS, more games like Rainbow Six, the SWAT series, and all sorts of countless other Shoot-em-ups and Strategy FPSes; those are great games - Each of them somehow redeems it's self, makes it's self better then what came before it, each brought new ideas to the industry which ended up being copied over and over by everyone else, each is a great pleasure to reinstall and play again long after they're old and outdated.
Halo 1 and 2 are not great games; they didn't pioneer anything except for a new way for Microsoft to make an easy buck off of a bunch of retards, and they did not outdo anything that any other game ever had done. 15 years down the road, I doubt anybody will be going "Hey, you remember that game? The one that practically revolutionized gaming? Yeah, ________, that's the one" with Halo.
In short, Halo isn't a bad game - There's certainly far worse, Although Halo is largely a Copy pasta of every other game with a new world; it doesn't deserve anywhere near the amount of recognition it gets, it isn't a trendsetter, it isn't the perfect embodiment of everything it copied from every other game; Halo is the Average Joe of Gaming, only rather then having an agreeable playerbase, largely only idiot kids play it, and Microsoft doesn't seem to mind exploiting that to get an easy buck or 50 out of Billy's parents. An average conversation in Counterstrike seems intellegent compared to the sort of idiots you find in Halo.
