I got to mention Halo: CE and Halo 2.
Halo: CE revolutionized console FPS. It showed us what was possible. It introduced a fluid, smooth control system to the dual analog stick setup. The general consensus at the time was that it wasn't possible to bring a PC-like FPS experience to console. It couldn't be done, they said.
All console-based first-person shooters owe their thanks to Halo: CE.
The game also saved the XBOX console and put it on the map. Without Halo: CE, there'd be no XBOX. How many games can say that? Talk about shaking up an industry.
But we must not also forget about Halo 2. It introduced XBOX Live integration, online matchmaking, friends list, clan list, 1-50 ranking system. Simply put: XBOX Live was put on the map thanks to Halo 2. It set the standard for online console multiplayer gaming.
Say thank you Mr John Halo.
