Because Halo rather poorly borrowed a lot of elements from other games, thus in itself it did not really improve much of anything. There were a few things it did improve, though... at least campaign-wise, it was the first in a very long time of console FPS's that actually had some pretty natural controls to work with. And Admittedly, Halo was a good leap forward in enemy AI for console FPS's in quite a while, where before the quality of AI in a console game usually took a back seat to 'TIGHTENEING UP TEH GRAPHX LUZLZ!11!1111!!ELEVEN!!"

People look at things to generally and call it generic, theres a reason why halo has won the attention of so many people, its incredibly well done, the first game had an interesting story but it didn't get in the way of shooting things. First time co-op in sp fps made it a blast to play through with friends, awesome controls, awesome multiplayer, great vehicls, fun gameplay, first game to limit the amount of guns a player could carry(might need to check the original cod this could have been done not sure though). Even pc games have since followed in Halo's footsteps now, limited weapons, regen health (this i don't like though, having a shield regen makes more sense then your face regen after eating a nade). halo 2 took it all and started to refine it, added a great online multiplayer and first game to really use the party system (

Why do people call halo generic if it was the game that created generic, therefore it isn't generic.
