I am absolutely sure that I am not the only person to notice how Halo has affected the gaming world. I cannot count the number of times I have read a review/preview on a website or in a magazine and have seen Halo's name pop up. In reviews (especially of FPS's) I constantly see "it's no Halo" and other comparisons that make me realize that Halo has become the milestone for FPS's and has set the standard for what future games now have to stand up to in order to become great games. I am sure that Halo 2 will set the new standard come November the 9th, a date that will live in infamy as people all over the country skip school/work to go get it. I think the USA's geverning body should take a hint from South Korea and proclaim Nov. 9th a national holiday so that there be no seriously devastating effects when tons of people drop everything to play what will be greatest game of all time [you know, up to this point].

It did make a difference. but not as big as those REALLY big games like Zelda (first ever game that had the save option), Doom, Quake etc etc

"Halo killer game" . . . What???

Anyway, Halo is one the best console FPS's ever, having an effect on gamers much like Goldeneye 007 on the N64. It sets an example for other games to follow and improve on for FPS's. Of course, there are other good xbox FPS's out there, but Halo has a certain "feel" to it that makes it really enjoyable, IMO.

Not to mention the best FPS story line in gaming history. I mean, seriously, can anyone understand a solid story under "Golden-Eye"?

A quote from a UK ps2 magazine (possibly not exact quote). It's talking about friends that always up stage you:

'and how about showing your mates the incredible saving private Ryan beach landing in medal of honour frontline when somebody says "so, has anybody played Halo?"'

According to my friend ben (with a ps2) it's so true.

I suppose that my point is that Halo has really become the benchmark for many games since it came out.

Funny thing is that Beach Landing from MOH:frontline is the only good levell, very linear and you can do nothing to save any soldiers.. Unlike Call of Duty.

Yeah seens lots of PS2 games claiming they are HALO killers. Yeah woah that was funny *clears tear off* I mean HALO is to Videogames as.. Say Terminator 2: Judgement day was to special effects in movies. Its there to stay and will become part of history.
