But WOW, can't you agree that Halo brought most of the things that PC FPS' had to the living room (other than online, but co-op/system link makes up for it anyways)? I think this is what most console FPS' at the time were missing.
At the same time, it brought new things to the table. I mean vehicles just like from Battlefield but not really, multiple grenades, CO-OP!!, the two weapon combo, regenerating shields!!! (not ala Halo 2, but still it was the start of this movement), etc.
Also, the story in Halo can be interesting when you look at it from a BioShock/Metroid/Legend of Zelda perspective. What I mean by that is that the game has a lot of backstory that is really interesting IMO. In Halo 2 and 3, we learn a bit more about the Forerunners and The Reclaimer and stuff, but it still gives place to imagination.
Also, I know it doesn't really have anything to do with Halo CE, but the Halo games are the only ones that still include 4-player split-screen multiplayer up to this day. I can't wait to see more developers do that again. Stupid online gaming...! >_>
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
