This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

You are a sad, sad person OP.

Halo revolutionized the FPS genre for the good. What did you expect? All games to play out with Classic Doom controls?

Health regeneration was around in FPS games since it first began. What's so wrong with two weapon management? Why is having hot buttons for melee and grenades bad?

The only harm that Halo did to the FPS genre, in my opinion, is make it to where companies started catering to the console players. That's it. Other than that, they revolutionized the FPS genre tremendously. If you like the way games used to be played, play the old games. I still play Starsiege Tribes, Quake III Arena, and Marathon.

We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

Good riddance u are gone to Activion, hope you'll sink in the same boat with them.


I think you left out Blizzard. And, quite frankly, none of the three studios are dying any time soon.

So sorry to disappoint you.

Yes, Halo ruined First Person Shooters...

Actually, halo revolutionized console FPS games. Games like counter strike had almost everything halo had, only it was on PC.

  • 01.23.2011 10:09 AM PDT

You clearly just suck at them and you need to take it out on Halo because that's the one you rage on the most.

go play doom

Haha This!^^

Halo is the best Console FPS IMHO.

Thanks Bungie for, as the OP said, "Ruining the Genre"!

And by "Ruin" I mean improve it immensely.

Actually, OP, Marathon beat Halo to the punch in 1994.

I think the OP likes a certain FPS franchise that has maintained its 1990s level design, weapons management, and health bar through the support of its nerdcore fanbase and sheer inertial legacy.

Let's not drop any names, here. I'm just sayin'.

Then obviously I'm a huge fan of the worst game ever made.

  • 01.23.2011 2:37 PM PDT

Well, Marathon didn't have a two weapons system, or instant melee, or grenades, or timed shield regeneration.

Those were possibly all things that Halo introduced. I certainly don't remember any games that used them. I think there's something to be said for not using a two weapon system though. I mean, in every single game.
