will there ever be a fps as influential as Halo

[AkaDemiK]

most overrated fps of all time.

It helped the console market, but that was it.

regenerating shields?
perfected controls for shooters on a console?
popularized online play on consoles?
online matchmaking for consoles?
theater mode?

it's one of the most influential games in it's genre (as you can see from these links) anyone saying otherwise is a clown/hater. No one is saying it's the most influential shooter ever, because obviously you had other shooters before it...but it brought a lot to the table that are being mimicked by games today. In a market flooded with military based shooters (COD, BF, TF, KZ) Halo still stands out today because of it's unique gameplay features (some of which were copied or emulated in some of the games I mentioned).

Nope

I know you are going to say COD...

Tbh cod4 might be the most influential, shyt is trash now, but every shooter after copied something from it


That OG modern warfare trailer was greatness, them showing perks, kill streaks and everything was next level

Plus it knocked halo off its throne, and the series hasn't been the same since

Halo had it's moment. The combat was amazing for the time, and it was quickly bitten, but then Modern Warfare dropped and it's been a wrap since then.

COD and Halo play nothing alike....not even close...the only thing they have in common is being shooters, regenerating shields and theater mode....2 of these things they copied...

demik hath arrived.

Goldeneye, Doom, Half-Life, and even Duke Nukem was more influential than Halo.

Halo was all hype and marketing.

In fact, Halo had a negative influence if you ask me because games started doing half assed single player modes and put more effort in multiplayer.

man you cant even talk sense to these dudes dont even try... i currently own a ps4... will probably not buy an xbox one cause i aint paid like that right now.... but only a fool couldnt realize that halo revolutionized multiplayer and fps gaming...

it is the true number one fps game which all other games are ranked against...

if these idiots cant get that through there stupid fat heads... let them go kill themselves from diabetes while the shove another hotdog down their fat throats.

I think it had a significant influence... but I'll always be a secret agent at heart. =)

I won't say all FPS games, because you have shyt like quake...but as far as console shooters go...Halo is at the top of everest and the rest are still climbing. One 15 min game of Halo 1 has more depth and skill than every single console shooter combined (including other halo games lol)....every one. It's basically the console version of quake...but not as fast.

some guy on neogaf broke down a single 2v2 match between top h1 players and still didn't scratch the surface when it came to the meta-game (ex. forcing/predicting spawns)

Halo 1 and 2 had a big influence on console games at the time. There weren't really any shooters worth a damn on consoles until Halo 2 came thru with that online and crushed the buildings.

H2 honestly perfected simple things console games in the future would eventually fail to touch on, such as matchmaking, ranking systems, party systems, lobby's...etc. No reason CoD games should be fukking up LAN lobby's in 2011, 2012, etc.

H2 also, IMO, began the shift from console shooters focusing on SP and putting more emphasis on MP, with it's XBL success and DLC's. Gift and a Curse for consoles.

When it comes down to it, on consoles, after Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, there weren't many shooters that shook things up and made a big splash like Halo did.

Yeeeep. CoD4 dropped like a week after Halo 3 n I was like ehhhhh I guess I'll give it a shot.

Halo was immediately status

After the first 2, the other ones really haven't mattered in the grand scheme of things. I know it hurts you Xbots to hear that but it's the truth.

Oh and you're still wrong

Halo 3 was one of the biggest games ever...and the most successful halo game as far as population and sales go....it was #1 most played game for 4 str8 years on the xbox (2007-2010), sometimes swapping place with cod 4/mw2...lol @ it taking two cod games to knock it from it's top spot for a brief moment here and there...

don't know what you're talking bout, brehs

I beat Halo 3 in a fukking day, that shyt was straight trash...
