Maybe because you're like 9 years late. How many 9 year old console shooters are still fun today? Not that many.

Time Splitters 2
I edited your question a bit, because if the word 'shooters' was left out, I would have to list pretty much the entire catalogue of Nintendo's big franchises, as well as the majority of the strategy and role playing genres :P
I also added console because there are heaps of PC shooters aged 9 or more that are still great fun.
Anyway, seeing as this is a thread for stating opinions, I found the multiplayer of Timesplitters 2 to be much much more enjoyable than the multiplayer for Halo:CE. I never played Halo:CE single player, but TS2 has a really cool single player mode also.
I too don't see why Halo is quite so well liked

Because it was revolutionary, it had amazing graphics in it's day, it was fun, well paced, had a great story line that is deeper than some people realize, and had an aura of mystery behind it. I have yet to find another console FPS that rivals it in all those aspects. I don't see why Halo is so hated upon.

Any time you have millions of people/gamers saying that X game or series is "The Best Of All Time" or something similar, you will have a minority that will go out of their way to explicitly express why they think all those people are wrong.
There are obviously a lot of reasons why the series is so well regarded and why it continues to make sales records. It's not ALL hype.
In a nutshell, it's like arguing that a small minority opinion is more right than the vast majority because one happens to be among that small minority.
But there's really no point in trying to convince that majority group of just how little fun they're actually having or just how wrong they are for enjoying that game/franchise.
It's like ranting against vanilla ice cream for being the most popular flavor of ice cream. Totally pointless.
