I think people forget that the original Halo came out in 2001. It was far more advanced than every game before it even most FPS games years after. It was a huge hit as well so I'm sure it inspired many games.

I beg to differ, Halo didn't advance much the formula that was already perfected by Half-Life, Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament and Quake 3, released two years prior to Halo. Halo revolutionised the FPS genre on the consoles indeed, but computer FPS have done the same things or even better than Halo did at the time.

 

 

^^ This.   Halo was a good game but it really didn't do anything that wasn't done on PC's years prior.  Sony and Microsoft were gunning for good FPS games.   Microsoft just struck gold.    I would say Bond/Perfect Dark for the N64 were far more influential on the genre on consoles in general though.
