Bungie's biggest claim to fame is the Halo series since they've focused on that for more than the past 10 years but it only revolutionized FPS as we know it. Unless you're on the PC elitist train and think that ever since FPS's were modernized for consoles its been shit then as a developer they deserve some respect.
Bungie/Halo never revolutionized anything. Not even console shooters. Timesplitters did it before them, and did it much better.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh that's rich. You're just looking for excuses to hate. Nobody calls any games Timesplitters clones. Halo CE is accepted as the one that made viable current generation console controls. And Halo 2 was the game that made Xbox LIVE the phenomenon it is today.
Lol the timesplitters argument... you're in a very small group right now that likes to hate Halo. The Escapist magnifies your voice somewhat but it's a delusional prospect.
I'm fine with being in the small group of correct people over the ridiculously large group of incorrect ones.
The first Halo didn't use most of the same mechanics that Timeplitters did, but that just made it worse, not better. It also had WAY fewer game modes for both single-player and multi-player. Halo was essentially the birth of the linear, crappy story-driven FPS. So I guess you can thank it for CoD: Black Ops, if you're into that type of unwashed afterbirth.
