Well then, what makes Halo 2 so special that it should be regarded higher then other FPSs? Is it innovative? No. There is nothing new that has not already been used five years ago in FPSs on the PC or even console for that matter (Goldeneye64). Is it revolutionary? No. The graphics are subpar to other FPS shooters out there. They look like crap compared to PC FPSs. Nothing special or new with the weapons, vechiles, gameplay, physics, etc either. Is it evolutionary? No. Halo 2 is just a rehash of the first game. It does not set the bar for next generation FPSs.
