that doesn't explain why they are still so big. I think you'll find that the reason it did so well was because the story line is pretty decent, the gameplay has been left unchanged for the most part ( meaning no matter which Halo you pick up, when you play, it feels and looks like Halo), and the multiplayer beats pretty much everything out there in terms of fun.
