Since when is Halo genre defining, let alone for 2+ generations?

Bungie's own Marathon series is more genre defining, as they were the first to implement dual weilding.


You're right, but for the wrong reason. Marathon implemented mouse look, changing FPS forever. Much more important than dual-wielding.

But Halo also deserves a nod for defining console FPS as we know them. It may have introduced regenerating health, too. I can't really recall.

 According to the Top Ten Best/Worst Games list from Games Trailers it was the first one to have the regenerating health bar. It's multi-player was also listed as influential.
