[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"]Very influential in that we can hold it responsible for the current generic brown/grey FPS cancer on the industry. Most influential/important? Hell no.darkspineslayer

Actually that would be COD.

Before Halo games and consoles were seen as toys. When Halo came out it changed everything and proved gaming can be a serious form of entertainment like movies. Halo 2 made online a standard for consoles and paved the way for games like Call of Duty. So without Halo gaming would have never evolved into the huge form of entertainment it is today.

I used to think halo was pretty influential, but other than it and goldeneye proving there was a huge shooter market on consoles as well as paving the way for way for the shooter control scheme on consoles, I don't think it was very influential mechanics wise. I mean there's really no other shooters on consoles that play like it.

:lol: Just no

Being the first doesn't mean the most important.

The first car isn't as important as say, the Ford Model T, which was the first mass produced car, or the Beetle.

Whatchoo talking 'bout Sali? O_o

Without Halo gaming wouldn't be as good as it is right now. Halo brought the regenerating health mechanic, one of the most important gameplay elements since gaming was created.

No, that is Mario.

Halo just made the FPS more accessible for the modern era when it was released and made online console gaming good. Today however Halo has actually become pretty stagnant and has outdated game play, it has lost it's spot to COD which is the superior game IMO. A lot of former Halo fans left it for COD.

But Halo still is a good FPS in it's own right and no one can really top it's features.

I think regenerating health has made games a bit too easy now, I know virtually every game uses them but it's kinda hard to die in a lot of them now. Just wait behind cover, health comes back, kill enemies, hid behind cover ect....

Part of the reason why I'm so excited about The Last of Us, no regenerating health! But they said they are trying to make the game hard, but I don't think regenerating health would work with that type of game. Like RE6 now has health regeneartion, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

It only semi regeneration. You still have a health bar and will need to use herbs if you lose too many boxes.

Halo isn't even the 500th most important game in history, but TC is definitely one of the top 10 dumbest posters in SW.

[JohnnyCageMK"]

Oh no you didn't!

Now son, I know you just didn't diss on Freeman and Snake now! You best not be hatin on Valve or Kojima, those guys have done FAR more for gaming than Bungie or your precious Xbox ever has and ever will!

I...I just don't know what to think about you anymore.....there's no way anyone can think such a thing. It's impossible!

The first 2 were an(not most) important factor in console history. CE for it's mechanics and overall design, and H2 for its network. The others are just games.

Lol, no.

Thanks TC that was a good joke :lol:

Top 20 maybe?

drummerdave9099

Top 10. Although the tc is insane fanboy that believes he invented the question mark, Halo is very much pop culture, at least in the states.

LOL No.

Lol yeah in lem-lem land.

yup agree Halo invented the FPS genre and thats the reason the 360 dominates WWdevilsoultaker2

Not even close

That's impossible! No one would be stupid enough to ignore Half-Life, Grand Theft Auto III, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend Of Zelda, Counter Strike, World of Warcraft or any of the literally dozens to hundreds of titles that could deserve the title of "most important franchise in history".

I refuse to believe anyone is so stupid as to ignore those games, because from an objective standpoint Halo is factually not the most important franchise, and the absurdity of such a claim would lend itself to a joke, and only as a joke.

[QUOTE="JohnnyCageMK"][QUOTE="Judgement-Law"] Yes let's ignore the fact every game Valve spews out is of the highest quality.Jonwh18

Halo was very important because it brought FPS to consoles better then any game before it. But XBL was full of online shooters before Halo 2 (Rainbow 6 3, Ghost Recon, etc).

Super Mario Bros, Pong, PacMan, Super Mario 64, Street Fighter, Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy, Knights of the Old Republic where all more important titles IMO
