Didn't think so. I'm fairly certain that an Angry Hobo's point was that Halo is the first console based game to allow saved films features. While I grant that Quake gave you the option to save (and Descent as noted below), never before could you do this on a console, and whats more, never before could you move the camera to where you wanted, view the same events from ANY p.o.v. on the battle field. Never could you share the films with your frineds so easily. This is all very new stuff to the console scene. These guys aren't dubm. They know that there are millions who are clamouring for H3 and I'm sure that all the stops were pulled out for it. Lets all just chill and wait for it to drop. Stop crying. Stop trolling. Stop everything. I'm going to lunch. Good day. @ YEAH, could you play Quake on a console and save a film?

I just think that everyone is missing the point of the argument. The Halo franchise, while not so much innovative or revolutionary, defiantly improved on so many things that made the game enjoyable. The quality of a game isn't solely judged on innovation, if that were the case there would be maybe a handful of games that were dubbed "good". Instead, what Halo lacks in innovation, they more than make up for in shear enjoyment and replay value. The fun factor of the game is so high that it keeps people coming back and playing more and more. That is what makes Halo so great. I've played better games before, but I've never played through a single player campaign as many times as I have Halo: CE. The game is so addicting, and that's what makes it great. As said before, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I agree I think Halo 3 will be a fantastic game. I just think that everyone is missing the point of the argument.

Though the franchise has already sold more copies than any other game in the FPS genre! Halo didn’t exactly redesign the genre but it did revive many peoples interest in it. (Including mine). And yes - it is the basic for most FPS for the past few years! Resistance sold 2 million. But halo 3 pre-orders are increasing every day. The last figure I recall being released was that it was nearing 1.2 million. And by the way that figure refers to the U.S alone. Thats not including Europe or the rest of the world. (The local UK store GAME has actually been told to stop taking pre-orders because M$ are afraid they wont have enough copies in stock to meet demand!) And yes it will sell like crazy! Though the franchise has already sold more copies than any other game in the FPS genre!

Halo didn't redesign the genre, games like Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Half-Life, and System Shock did. There really hasn't been anything innovative in the FPS genre since 2000-2001, when Clive Barker's Undying introduced magical spells along side offensive weapons in a FPS. Everything else has been a recycling of old ideas over and over, except with better graphics and different story lines. Not even Bioshock is as innovative as it's made up to be (which to me is more of an Undying 2 than a FPS 2.0 they say it is). I pretty much agree with all of this.

Unreal. Counterstrike. etc. Then Halo came out, and all the 13 yr old kids who didn't have computers but their parents let them play Xbox finally had an online shooter. It did absolutely nothing to 'reinvent' the genre, other than be the first console online shooter. At this point it's overhyped, because all it is is another console shooter, where hundreds do and can compete at this point. But it will sell millions, as you've said, due to this overhype, and will therefore have a larger online community even though it really won't be much better than many other available online shooters. Warhawk is awesome. I know that after I beat Halo 3 campaign, I'll probably be playing Warhawk online more. there's no way Halo can top that gameplay. halo 3 did not redesign FPS. hundrds of thousands of people were playing FPS on their computers for years before this.
