why Halo is so great. I get that it is a good First Person Shooter, and the first one had the best controls of its time. But really, what is so great about it? Is it just that it was popular when it came out, and the fanbase just grew from there?

I like it because of it's online play. I think it's the best only shooter for xbox and I find it fun and enjoyable to play. People just have different tastes. Don't be angry with yourself because you can't get into Halo.

Tell me you didn't start an account just to ask a dumb question that has been asked (literally) a million times before.

People just do so stop asking.

I can't answer that because I'm not a huge fan of Halo myself, but more importantly, I know to never click on a link that you provide mr Rick_Roller.:lol:

Like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

:p And there are two _'s in Rick__Roller(onlyone _was already taken :( )

I know online play is great, but don't a bunch of XBox games have that?

This is not the only reason I made this account. It is just something I've been wondering for a while. And I am sorry if this is posted a lot.

Halo was the next step in console evolution of a FPSfrom N64's Goldeneye.

Originaly Halo was due to be a major technical revolution. Tons of new effects, it was due for every platform you can think of and the dev team had this amazing attitude. Then MS bought them, the dev team quit in disgust and all the good stuff was stripped out. The hype continued from MS, then it came out. Wasnt exactly a looker, didnt have any new gameplay, was just something MS hyped for their console.
