Ok here is what the Halo series revolutionized:

It made FPS the most popular by far genre of game.

It has the hands down absolute best online matchmaking.

It revolutionized the melee attack.

It brought regen health to the forefront. (think no more picking up health packs)

It also brought WELL BALANCED vehicles to online play.

1. Most popular genre by far? Is that why you always see shooters at the top of the charts? Mario Kart's projectiles don't make it a shooter-racer.

So you think racers are more popular than FPS this gen ? I think you're wrong with that.

(I'm talking about consoles ONLY)

2. Of what? If you said other console games, I might agree despite not having played very many games online. But plenty of online games beat Halo, most notably Warcraft/Starcraft.

3. Press a button to hit a person? Revolutionary! You're doing it wrong. Press B button !!!

The last two I agree with.
