Why do so many gamers dislike Halo?

[elprincipe]

I tend not to like FPS because they are generally boring and generic, not to mention a fair few of them make me motion-sick. But specifically Halo, while I do not "hate" it (it's an average FPS), is far overrated due to no innovation in gameplay, recycled levels, poor multiplayer levels, generic storyline, and just generally being boring as hell. But remember, I am not a big fan of most FPS. I've played a ton of Doom/Doom II and Goldeneye, but that's about it in terms of actually liking a FPS.
