[QUOTE="kidcool189"]I totally didnt see that clever comment coming :lol:lespaul1919

Is that the only game you guys can list, Call of Duty?

killzone series.resistance series. FEAR. PDZ.

then even 3rd person games like uncharted use the dropping and picking up weapons on the fly.

Wtf? You think Halo invented dropping and picking up weapons? Counter-strike was doing that way before Halo. :| And what did Fear take from Halo exactly?

The infamous lespaul1919 did. lol

And it's funny because he says Fear used Halo's template as an FPS. But I can't even think of one thing that Fear copied off of Halo. Absolutely nothing. :|

to be fair, FPS is ridiculously more popular now than it was pre-halo. by exponential figures.

FPS were popular before halo...

not like this, not even close. FPS games didn't sells millions and millions of copies within hours of release lol. not by a long shot.

I still remember the midnight release of halo 2. jesus. even in my small town there were over 400 people in line for that.

Conclusion. CoD revolutionized FPS genre?

[QUOTE="linkin_guy109"]

i completely one hundred percent disagree with the idea that halo revolutionized the fps genre, i will say that it did have an impact on the industry in its glory years and that it proved that an online fps can work on consoles

And that, in turn, changed the way shooters were made for consoles. And since almost all shooters these days follow Halo's structure, Halo's clearly revolutionized the genre.

Yet all these people seem to forget.
