Look, I have nothing against the games, I just do not understand why they are so hyped. Sure they can be fun, but nothing I would consider top notch. Please give me good reasons why the halo games were original.

Halo was considered original when it first came out. Also what FPS nowadays are original.

It defined shooters on a console

It was a movie played out in three games rather then 90 mins on the screen

It changed yet stayed the same so the series evolved over time but never lost the "flavor" of the first installment.

I don't really love Halo, but I think it's probably because it was the first good online fps on a console, even if it was only 8vs8 fight... It's the Goldeneye and doom 1 syndrom, people like game who set a new standar on their platform.

It's good because the multiplayer is of a high quality, and the basic core gameplay and controls are smooth as butter.

Halo's biggest issue (as a collective whole) lies in the single player content itself, which, almost all of the time, is simply mediocre.

Overall I feel like it's a very solid FPS series, even if it is a bit overrated. I certainly woudn't recommend Halo to fans of quality single player shooters, as the real strength of the Halo games is in the multiplayer.
