Halo introduced all kinds of things to the FPS world that other games take directly from.

Alright lets get some facts straight:

Halo revolutionized the regenerative health (no more hunting for health packs ala Quake, Doom, etc...)

Halo's matchmaking service is the best their is for games of this type (at least on consoles) Alot of games have tried copying their matchmaking (including Gears 2) and fail miserably.

Halo is still one of the only online multiplayer games where vehicles are actually balanced.

It revolutionized hot buttons for grenades as well as the hot button for the melee attack.

They also made it so you can only carry two primary weapons instead of every weapon on the map.

All in all if it weren't for Halo console FPS's would not be any where near what they are today.

So yes Halo is responsible for alot of games. And I mean ALOT.

You never played video games in the PC/16 bit console/arcade era did you?

Because *spolier*  A lot you mentioned happened before Halo existed.

 

Listen I enjoyed playing the Halo series, I think there good games and do what they need to do well, but lets not ignore common sense.  There were simply other games or FPS's that came out and did what Halo did before it, doesn't make Halo bad, Halo did a good thing from learning from other games and implementing these features well.

 

But honestly a title of ""Is Halo responsibile for many good games today?""  Oh course not.

 

 

I'm not saying Halo changed the way games are done completely. But it definitely had a huge impact on the way FPS games were done from then on.
