@l0kmun "There are plenty of games that have done much more than Halo for the games industry. How about the GTA series?" Where did this comment come from? I was reponding to another comment. Why do ppl feel they have to mention something totally different, Where in my comment did i mentioned games haven't done more for the industry than halo? Obviously you made your point that you do not like Halo, but do not let your hate obsure your judgement, i've even mentioned goldeneye, but you seem to didn't read that, it flat out gave non-PC gamers the PC experience, that's huge. Counterstrike is great "for the PC." "GTA series? They singlehandedly invented 3rd person 3D open world gaming" Hmm, fine that's your opinion, I would have have to say, and along with the producers at Rockstar would tell you Mario 64 did that, that game inspired them to change from their first two GTA games. I'm not hating GTA just do not agree with your statement. I still do agree GTA has done alot for the industry even moreso than Halo, but that had nothing to do with my comment since u were replying to me.

@arahman56 "Why is the Final Fantasy series not mentioned (but Halo is)? That series single-handedly saved a failing company, and then shot them to stardom." Couldn't you say the same thing for Halo for Microsoft. Lets be honest that IP alone, help that system survive the behemoth of PS2. Halo maybe overrated in some aspects, But the game did a lot of gaming, Back in the day (even with some present gamers) First person shooters was considered to be PC only games, outside of golden eye. First person shooters general sucked on consoles, playing doom, duke nukem, on snes was horrid compared to PC. Golden Eye showed the promise, but Halo gave the experience to non-PC gamers, the full Lan support and solid controls and PC gamers had for years. Because of Halo, FPS and now more popular on consoles than on PC, since the console market generally makes more money than the PC. Hell, its to the point now where there are FPS popping out like popcorn. Fine you don't like Halo your opinion, you think its overrated your opinion. Once you set aside your hatred of the game and open your eyes, then you could understand why Halo franchises is a big part of our gaming history even more so than Final Fantasy in some regards.
