There are a lot of obvious rips and companies trying to ride on the coattails, but very few reach the level of fame and notoriety that Halo has received. Few are as good as the original though

 

thats laughable in itself. The only reason it gained fame was because Microsoft was throwing money at the advertising team. Back last generation they didnt give a damn about profitability so they just spent into the red with zero care.

There are many games that have way more fame then Halo in the FPS genre. WolfenStein, Doom, Half-Life, Quake, Counter-Strike, Left4Dead, Portal, Warsaw, America's Army, Battlefield all have a way bigger following then Halo has.

No, your statement is laughable.  I only know a few people who ran out and bought Halo early. It was when people played it with friends, and loved it, that they went out and got an Xbox and Halo. Once Halo got rolling, it sold itself.

 

Also, virtually none of those you listed(if any) are bigger franchises than Halo.
