Unpopular opinion buy I found Halo, in general, to be very mid at best.
I feel like "mid" is pretty generous in my opinion. One of the most over rated series to exist just behind Elder Scrolls trash games.
Why would you downvote this person? This is the bravest comment on Lemmy.
I take it you were not a console gamer when it came out?
Correct. PC gamer. It's probably why it was very mid for me as a FPS.
Really it did a few major things for fps
Until halo right-stick to turn, ads to aim on screen was a common control mechanism.
As soon as it released regenerating health, the control scheme and online multiplayer became a must-have for AAA fps. For PC it's basically just regenerating health, which was has proved to be a mixed blessing.
