Pacing, balance, level design, story, vehicles, physics, co-op and mutliplayer. Halo did it all.
Look up any online review place you trust and read their review of it: Halo was the real deal.
THAT doesn't mean you have to like it, there are LOTS of good games that were rated very high that I didn't enjoy to the level of the reviewers. Different strokes for different folks, but trying to mitigate this game...10 billion players, countless awards and great meta-score...come on, you're better than that.
