A world without halo? A man can dream.


Ironic considering your PSN Avatar is a Killzone Helghast.

Killzone wouldn't even exist without Halo sooo......


I'd totally be cool with that. I just like the helghast look. And without halo the gaming world would be a much better place.

Really? Why is that?


Halo came into the world as the only decent game on xbox with mainstream and casual appeal.

True can't argue with this.

Since it had literally zero competition it became a huge hit.

Zero competition is part of the reason why it became a big hit but the biggest reason why it became a huge hit was because it was a masterpiece and was an amazing lan multiplayer game.

Other devs saw the sales numbers but none of the reasons why it sold well and started to churn out mediocre fps after mediocre fps to the detriment of all other genres (and the fps market which is flooded with crap).

While I won't disagree that the FPS market is getting pretty crowded with crap but there are arguable a TON of amazing FPS games that were most likely created because of how big of a hit Halo was.   

Halo also brought with it the success of console online, and while devs focused solely on that, strong single player modes and local multiplayer, console gamings bread and butter, fell to the wayside in favor of slapping in some deathmatch and ctf modes.

That's not true there are plenty of FPS's with really good campaigns.  All the Halo's, Killzone 2, Bioshock 2 and 2, And a lot of the COD games just to name a few.

You really just don't have a clue do you?

I guess not, care to enlighten me about what was wrong with what I said?

FPS's would be nothing without Halo...It really is a masterpiece of a game.....and the fact that so many people have had TONS of fun due to Halo and what came from it means the gaming world would have been much worse without it.
