Halo was the first FPS that really had an engrossing storyline. The Xbox was new at the time, and Halo was revolutionary. The background of the game is pretty cool (if you ever get a chance to watch the old pc/mac footage). The game was meant to come out on Mac only, then it moved to pc, and then Microsoft bought out Bungie. The original game was supposed to be a third person shooter, but was quickly changed to FPS.
The thing I like most about Halo 1 is the storyline and music score. The story line is amazing in Halo, it's not too over the top and it's not too realistic (perfect for a video game). The music was AMAZING, and with every battle it was fitting to the scenario.
Most people that say Halo sucks, are the people that didn't have an Xbox, or didn't have Xbox Live (H2). How can a game suck (all Halo's, got top tier ratings). Also I think Halo 3 was the biggest selling media event to date

agree to disagree i suppose. i thought the story was practically nonexistent, and the combat was a good concept that just wasn't properly executed. gears of war took the same idea and improved on it 1000%
and saying a game got good ratings doesnt carry any weight with me at all. far cry 2 was hailed as being a 5 star game by some publications which is proof that professional reviewers are insane, or paid off. not sure which
yeah then ill go play pong, or asteroids

That game is more powerhungry than halo 1 and probably halo 2.
It's a fun game though

The Halo series was much more publicized than Far Cry 2. It got good ratings across the board, there's no way anyone was paid off, most of the reviews were the same
. Far Cry 2 wasn't even hyped, at least not for me, Halo on the other hand stood up to the hype (for many)

I think Halos claim to fame was the easiness it has to just pick up and play (I am partial to Halo 3 so this is more about 3 than the series as a whole). There are no advanced tactics such as leaning or prone, just standing, crouching, or jumping. It has an aim-helper which discriminates between friend and foe. The weapons are all different and every weapon is useful to a certain extent (at least in Halo 3). There are no exceptionally overpowered weapons because they all have weaknesses. The maps are designed very well and even asymmetric maps are balanced to the point that no one really has an advantage. The variety of gameplay (play social skirmish and you get many different game types) helps make things interesting. The single player is at least halfway decent but it really just serves to give you something to do if you aren't playing online because this game is geared for online play. If you want an awesome story just get the Half Life series. I often play Halo 3 if I'm bored and it is a great time killer. I've played many many FPS games with a better storyline but far fewer with a more fun online system. The Battlefield games are about the only online FPS games ive played that offer a more fun experience for me.
