It popularized vehicles in fps and the twin stick shooting scheme.

Before that only some Alien game on PS1 had it and people shit all over it

The popularity is obvious

Not seeing the impact of just doing something PC did far before it

The fuck is tribes?

And literally fps on console uses both sticks now. I get you're probably only like 18 and never played ps1 and n64 cause the graphics look bad but yeah we used to have to aim that shit with d pads and c buttons. Shit was awful.

I mean, to be fair, that is due to 2nd stick being standard now.

Because consoles brought games to a wider audience right? Remember this is 2001-2009 and PC gaming was for thick rimmed glasses wearing nerd. Its something like 24 million Xbox were sold.

I played PC shooters and games before Halo but now half the kids in my class were buying xboxs and playing video games too.

In 2004 having 5 million unique players playing one game was unfathomable.

Marth just has a hate boner for Halo and refuses to see its massive influence on the genre, don't mind him.

I don't hate Halo. I'll probably even buy the new one because it will be on PC and I'm starved for any FPS to play

I just grew up with PC and saw nothing special about Halo, because just two years after that we had PlanetSide, an MMOFPS, that was actually innovative

There's probably not a single unique element that is completely new in Halo.

But combining all of them in that way certainly was. Hell I'd say this is where most truly great games come from. Think of it like a new recipe of FPS. I can't think of any FPS that plays like Halo before Halo.

It legitimized FPS on consoles. Bungie produced a very polished game that was fantastic in every aspect. The tight controls and physics were mind blowing, every other console FPS was a clunky POS by comparison. Above all else, it was just a lot of fun. There really was nothing like it on consoles at the time. It set the standard for that console generation.

Any reasonable gamer should know it wouldn't have been anything special had it been a PC exclusive. On the other hand, any reasonable PC gamer should be capable of understanding the impact it had on console gaming. It's really that simple.

the first Halo has the best story/ campaign and the second was great because of the online multiplayer.
