1) Im talking OVERHYPE. All of it. It didnt revolutionize FPSes, I dont see how it could have, and it didnt save the Xbox either, considering it 1, didnt need saving, and 2, is still in the hole.

2) Im discussing Halo 2 and Halo just as much as anyone here, just because Im looking at the negative side doesnt mean my voice should be silenced.

3) Realism changes the game experience greatly.  Things like mechanics and physics make the gameplay. Personally I didnt like Halo's mechanics, and the ability to jump twenty feet into the air wasnt exactly realistic, not to mention the lack of gravity on bullets and so on and so forth.

4) Halo seemed perfect to people because they just thought it was fun. Its incredibly imperfect in terms of gaming and such is the reason I dislike it.

5) Alot of people ARE still sitting around play CS, and such is my point. Recent originality? How about PlanetSide and its implement of MMO gaming with RPG style experience in order to learn new skills in the heat of real battle.

Many or not, Halo isnt perfect, it ISNT the greatest game ever, nor the greatest FPS ever. This is what annoys me to no end. If you people admitted that you just play it because it brings you entertainment, however mediocre it is, I would be fine with it and be less overbearing. But you get these kids in here telling me its the greatest and its revolutionary and it saved console gaming and I tend to flip out, considering the fact that Halo had very little impact on the gaming world. Sure it spurred on a tournament series and more kids bought an Xbox for one reason or another, but theres alot more games that do alot more to the industry that get looked over because 'h4l0 is teh r0x0rz'.

I meant perfect as in gameplaywise people thought it worked well and they could play it and it was fun. Realims changes the experience yes, but YOU were saying that Halo was sucky because of it's mechanics. The reason you could jump twenty feet (you're actually only jumping about 10 Master Chief is seven feet tall.) in the air had to do with the fact that Master Chief is a Spartan, genetically modified to perform better, than any human alive, his suit alone is half a ton which also provides him with extra power, he can lift cars with one hand for crying out loud. Though it is a bit floaty which is kinda weird and plus no one said the gravity on Halo was 1:1 with the gravity on earth, for all we know it could be 1/2 earth's gravity which would make it so you could jump pretty damn high. Plus by you saying it isn't the greatest game ever is only your opinion and by saying that, you're trying to supress the opinion's of others, something you're saying we're doing so by doing so you're being a hypocrite. Just beccause YOU don't think it's the best game ever doesn't mean other people dont' think that. You have even stated earlier that reviews are merely the opinion of the reviewer. And it did save XBox seeing as how it was the only launch game that actually moved, in a distant second was Project Gotham racing which didn't even sell half as many copies as Halo. Yes and how many copies did PlanetSide sell before being take off shelves? Of course people still play CS because it was fun, and it was far from perfect as well but you still see people going around saying CS is the best game every blah blah blah etc etc. Plus Halo itself was not completely original, but the story line, character design, and other things such as recharging shield and what not were. Though they borrowed from other sources, they are still more or less original. Nothing can be completely original, all must have some point of insperation and as such will have some similarity.
