I mean Halo looked amazing when I saw the development videos from Bungie before Microsoft bought them...that was like the Halo trailer from 1997 which was revolutionary at the time and I watched that video over and over again. But by the time the actual game was released by Microsoft (delayed for years and remade over and over again until the Xbox came out) there were many games that came out that does what Halo does much better.
I do like the asymmetrical offense vs. defense / choke point maps they are putting in but hey...this was done back in 1998 by Team Fortress and Unreal Tournament in excellent ways.

Yeah, I never got the whole fuss about it either. But then again I'm not a multiplayer so that could be why.
