Halo has been one of the most
successful videogame franchises of all time, and rightfully so. Time and time
again, comments are made that Halo isn't an original series. It was not the
first sci-fi first person shooter, or the first to have online multiplayer. However,
Halo introduced many elements seen in today’s popular first person shooters,
such as regenerating shields. Regenerating shields had been done in other games,
but Halo was the first videogame in the first person shooter genre to do so,
and doing so in a competitive multiplayer environment.
