The only thing goldeneye and perfect dark lacked was the ability to have more than 4 at a time in multiplayer. That's where Halo is strongest. Like I said, there's virtually no competition for multiplayer console FPS games. There's always counter-strike, but don't you have to pay for an x-box live account, and why bother when you can play for free on the PC?

I'll admit with no problem that Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are quite possibly the greatest classic FPS games created to date.

And I happened to enjoy the single player of Halo. It had a new and different story line, and they managed to create an entire race that I, personally, came to love. (And yes, I mean in a sexual way. Who wouldn't want to get one of those cute aliens in the sack?)

And for the guy above who didn't care for the graphics, they've been substantially increased in Halo 2.
