There is no doubt that Halo was overly responsible for bringing the shooter genre to consoles (but I think Goldeneye and Perfect Dark had a much higher impact). However there is no denying the fact that Halo itself is a very Mediocre Shooter when compared to FPS gaming history when the PC has a history that goes back into the 80's.
Important to Console History - Yes
Important to FPS overall - No

dont you guys hate it when PC people come over and bash Halo with their condescending comments. Honestly i do not give a rats ass for PC gaming and its history. The fact of the matter is that Halo was a solid FPS with great graphics, good story and intense gameplay. It introduced the weapon management system enbling players to think strategically on what weapons to carry. Before this, all pc games did was give you a crapload of random weapons with no strategy involved. Now a lot of FPS have adopted this form of weapon system. and tell me, other than Half Life what is another awesome FPS on PCthat revolutionized gaming?
If it wasn't for the PC, there would not be any fps gaming at all
[QUOTE="maxthebuilder"]All I really want in the next zelda is: Voice acting for everyone BUT Link, a somewhat deeper combat system, and maybe a somewhat different setting or story. One thing I would really like to see in the next zelda game would be a choice system, where you have to make decisions, and those decisions change the game world i.e. the witcher, bg 1&2, etc...Maxned
I think voice-acting would be too much of a twist, and I bet it would be terrible.It would just be too weird. Although, the grunts made by the people everytime they start a sentence can get annoying...
I seriously can't stand games without voice acting. They just aren't immersive at all and it really makes the game feel ancient. Also since it's zelda and it's being made by nintendo you can be guaranteed that if they were to do voice acting it would be great.
