You don't get 4 million pre-orders in NOrth America for the third game of a trilogy without the games being exceptional. May not be everybody's cup of tea but they are universally thought of as being among the bst games ever made.
The main things halo did was 1) bring a competent FPS to a console where the controls were not lacking at all and 2) revolutionalize online play for FPS.
I really think the whole mouse and key advantage is over hyped now that consoles have dual analog sticks.

Weren't they going to have computer players hook up to Xbox live in Halo 2?
Given the same amount of time, I truly believe that a mouse/kb player will always beat a non-computer aided aiming dual analog stick player.
One of the major advantages is that if you need to turn REALLY REALLY fast, you just move your mouse farther across your desk, and for tight turns, you move it less. Your analog stick, in comparison is limited by the range of the controller.
However, I will admit I'm absolutely BRUTAL at console FPS, but I'm pretty good at Quake/CS and such on the PC =)
