Why so much hate for Halo?
It was hated completely by PC gamers since they had been playing FPS for decades before. Great story lines, engaging play, online, and mods where already staples of the genre. Eventually HALO is released for consoles and people worship it like its change the entire gaming genre - it didn't. It was just overzealous console players that hadn't played a FPS before. You can't really blame them though for not having experienced the FPS genre before. I believe this game strikes the pivotal point between the veteran gamers and newer generation mentality on the gaming industry. But give credit where credit is due, Wolf3D, DOOM, and a handful of others are the real grandfathers of the genre.
