Why Do People Act Like Halo Didnt Revolutionalized the FPS Genre?

Its really getting on my nerves hearing people say Halo didnt bring anything to the table. Are you people crazy?!

They have different opinions maybe?

To be honest I find it worse when people say the games are bad. I'm no Halo fan but the games certainly aren't bad. Ugly as sin but not bad by any means.

Cause they're jelly.

I dunno where you're hanging out, because I haven't heard anybody say it in a long while. Are you talking about this board in particular, or just randomly?

The only thing I think Halo brought was Dual Analogue Control and Regenerating health. Dual Analog would've happened sooner or later and I don't like that practically every FPS has Regenerating Health.

Obviously it popularized FPS online gaming, on consoles, and was a extremely fluid game, with great visuals back then, all in all considering everything, it is one of the most important games for consoles.

Its just that.. Tribes influenced Halo greatly. And its simply insignificant compared to either Wolf3D, Doom or Half Life.

halo is a great series that helped push FPS's of that style sure, but honeslty I fail to see how it revolutionized the genre. I would say Perfect Dark 64 did more for the genre then Halo did.

The only thing i really see it did was popularize multiplayer console shooters.kidcool189

Definitely agree with this.

Take a look above you.

Because it didn't? It just took everything developed by previous games and popularized those elements in the console mainstream with a polished and well-made game series. Why do people always act like Halo did anything revolutionary?foxhound_fox

Because it didnt really? Halo did not do a single new thing in the genre, it just put it on consoles.

IDK but I dont really see how this is SW related.

It´s an exclusive so it has to be bashed.

It was the first game to bring a really PC like gaming experience to consoles. It was THE game that said "ok, this is how a FPS on a console works". If you disagree then your mad!

Obviously Halo pushed online and Goldeneye didn't, they are a gen apart. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were massive though for split screen parties. And consoles just stole the online from PC :P.

This thread occurred after you stated that people were acting that way :? Your thread was the catalyst to people giving their opinions in a thread about what Halo did/did not revolutionize.

Anyway, why can't people have a different opinion? I really haven't seen you argue the opinion and give good reasoning as to your points.

I don't know about Halo 1, but Halo 2 arguably introduced online to the masses and made it a mainstay for consoles.forgot_it

You guys are crazy, seriously. Must be young.

Why must they be young? Because they are talking about games that came out BEFORE Halo, which obviously influenced Halo a ton?

People here hate Halo and many of the newer users are too young to understand and play CoD 24/7, thinking that's a revolutionary FPS.-RocBoys9489-

Um, no. Unreal Tournament, Tribes, Wolfenstein etc were all more than a match for Halo (and in all cases had much better MP). Halo was the first good console FPS, nothing more.

Halo 2 is revolutionary, no doubt. Halo CE, I'll say began this crazy FPS phase that we're still in now. Hell, the Xbox brand would have died if not for Halo CE.

I loved all those games on the N64. All except Perfect Dark I sadly never played it.

What? I have no reasoning or points to prove. What are you talking about? You said people dont bash Halobut I see it all the time on SW. Even though the game was and still is amazing.

Regenerating health and limited weapons I am completely willing to give to Halo as the the main driver in the innovation. Halo did those very well, and I was a very fun game. But the vehicle sections were INFERIOR to tribes, and the online in Halo has ALWAYS just been a copy of Unreal Tournament. As for pacing thats more a matter of the heal regeneration, so its more counting something twice.

there was NO other FPS experience on consoles that rivaled Halo and how well it was made. [...]-RocBoys9489-

Your topic title states "Why Do People Act Like Halo Didnt Revolutionalized the FPS Genre?" You would do well to address exactly why it did revolutionize the genre, thus giving the individuals who think it didn't, pause for thought.

Also, I never said that people don't "bash" Halo, I simply stated "...I haven't heard anybody say it in a long while."
