this maybe true for pc...but on console, which is a large portion of the gaming market and has helped make gaming what it is today, revolutionized matchmaking and the such...before halo2 most games were catered to single player or splitscreen, but once that game came out the likes of CoD, MoH, and even Battlefield to a point were effected...battlefield is different because thats ported to pc...if it wasnt for halo2 we wouldnt have the shitty matchmaking system that we have today...i say shitty becuase once i played on a dedicated server i.e. BC2 i could not go back to host based servers...and while yes quake, doom, battlefield etc. are perhaps better than halo you cannot forget what halo did to a generation of gamers and a generation of games/consoles...fair enough?
