Like for the original Halo, its major merit, more than sheer quality and innovation compared to their PC counterparts, could be to launch a new genre on consoles in a big way. |
Halo is a great game, and I don't want to take anything away from the excellent job Bungie did with fps on a console. But I wouldn't overlook Goldeneye as the game that helped move the genre to consoles. Halo also had the advantage of dual analog sticks, this controller innovation opened the door for the style of fps we enjoy today on consoles. That being said, there has been no controller innovation that will improve console RTS control schemes.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
