It is a simple FACT that the FPS genre on consoles would be way smaller and we would have never seen games like Killzone 2, Modern Warfare, Resistance, and others.  The list of developers around the world who agree with this is massive.

Ken Levine who created Bioshock and is an amazing developer, said himself that without Bungie and Halo Bioshock could have never happened.

People love to hate on Halo but they need to realize that without it they wouldn't be getting anywhere near as awesome FPS's.

Except theres this one thing. The best FPS's were made before Halo.

They're called Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 Arena and  Half Life (  mods like Counter Strike).

Bah! They are pretty lame. Unreal > Unreal Tournament arcade BS. Blood was a way better FPS than Half-Life ever was. Lets also not forget the awesome which was Quake 2, Quake 2 >>>> Quake 3 any day.

Meh! Unreal Tournament > Unreal, single player BS . HL is way better FPS than Blood ever was, is and will be. Lets also not forget how awesomely Quake 3 improved over 2, Quake 3  >>>> Quake 2 any day.
Yea, everyone can do that. (but seriously, I played UT online a lot and loved it, never played Blood and I guess since I played Quake 3 before 2, I got more into it.)

Either way, all those games were made before Halo, so you just further proved my point.

Also HL2, it was released after Halo, but I'm pretty sure it would be as awesome as it is.
