    No way dude. it revitalized the fps genre which was circling the drain at the time, and some ideas Halo had are still felt in fps games today.

      I disagree. Half Life was top dog back then with Counter Strike, and Unreal Tournament and Quake arena for the multiplayer arena fps genre.

      I found Halo’s level design pretty boring and repetitive. The story wasn’t appealing to me either. I didn’t like the American-like militarism aspect. Especially in that post-9/11 period.
