And then Halo 2 revolutionized AND popularized online gaming for consoles.

Halo 2 didn't really popularize online gaming on consoles, Project Gotham did. Halo 3 did for shooters on consoles. Its still the highest selling Halo of all time. Once COD:MW came out it put Halo in its place.

The ONLY reason we accepted paying for Xbox Live back in the day was Halo 2 lol definitely the best time I've had on OG Xbox. Halo 3 was amazing for the 360 but Halo 2 was the original Xbox Live's year long swan song before the 360 came out.

I agree that Halo 2 was the swan song but Halo 3 made people go crazy for online gaming which indeed was the truer revolution. The majority of Xbox gamers didn't have Xbox Live. Microsoft made the 360 more focused on forcing the online experience which was genius because Xbox Live broke even early during the 360 era (according to Michael Pachter). Xbox Live on the 360 made online gaming damn near manidtory. On the Xbox you had a choice and got to enjoy a solid experience without Xbox Live Gold.
