Someone say in another thread that Halo was responsable for many great games we're playing today... Hum.

No doubt. I love the Halo series but is Halo made such a big impact on the industrie ?

Is Halo is responsable for most of the good FPS games today ?

Their probably wouldn't be a killzone (2) if their was no Halo. And that is all I can think of.

^^ Because it was labeled a Halo killer? I doubt there were no shooters for the consoles before Halo, so there would have been shooters for the consoles without Halo.

Ive never been a fan of the series, but isnt Halo credited for starting the health regen thing? Instead of picking up health packs? That alone is pretty cool.

Half, it was very clear that after the succes of Halo that Sony wanted to have an FPS aswell for the PS2.

Partly, success of Halo franchise was partly responsible for flow of mostly multiplayer driven generic shooters we can see nowadays. Don't know if this's a good thing though.

 Erm....you're wrong. Red Faction released at the same time for the PS2, so the FPS genre was on the PS2 at the same time. It just wasn't as succesfull as Halo, but Halo wasn't the impulsor for FPS on a sony console, it was the success of FPS on computers that had sony gunning for a succesfull console FPS

I think people forget that the original Halo came out in 2001. It was far more advanced than every game before it even most FPS games years after. It was a huge hit as well so I'm sure it inspired many games.

lol i don't think so :P

I beg to differ, Halo didn't advance much the formula that was already perfected by Half-Life, Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament and Quake 3, released two years prior to Halo. Halo revolutionised the FPS genre on the consoles indeed, but computer FPS have done the same things or even better than Halo did at the time.
