Console FPS's wouldn't be as dominant, the Xbox would have failed and by extension the gaming world would probably be less focused on random online features and DLC, and either the console wars would have been a two-way competition between the PS2 and Gamecube or maybe someone (possibly Sega, but not likely) would have filled in the gap, not to mention the many other alternate history details that would exist.

I fixed a couple of typos for you, Souplex. Don't worry, happens to the best of us.Souplex said:
A world without Halo would leave health bars in Call of Duty. Oh come on you can't stand there and say Call of Duty didn't add regenerating health to capitlize on it's popularity in Halo. Look at Call of Duty 2 Big Red One. It was massivly popular and was often called the best in the series up to the point (Then Modern Warfare came in). But why? It didn't do anything that the others didn't do. The only diffrence was lack of the health bar.
A world without Halo would be a world without RED vs Blue.Brown Cap said:

Halo did great things for consoles.Radeonx said:
Don't take me for just another halo-hater; I'm not. I personally think Halo was a great console game, but it was just another average title for PC gamers.
Well great numbers of FPS spun-off their ideas from Halo. So we would be a helluvalotta games down.Diablini said:
But!, I agree with Rad that Halo did revolutionise though, remember, back in 2001? Halo was revolutionary and then they made 2 clones of it (2+3) which by that time were much less revo because of the large number of Shooters that soon saw how succesful this could be and copied and enhanced their own games.Ezzay said:
I'm not going to lie, I have no hate for the series, and I quite enjoyed playing it like anyone else who bought them did, but people expected Bungie to revolutionise Shooters every new release, which was unreasonable - people claimed Halo CE was better than 2 and 3 and there was no need for 2 and 3, but go back to CE and tell me you wouldn't rather have a Battle Rifle or the veeeeery enhanced graphics and a Hornet...
So I believe Rad was somewhat correct in what he said.
Would change nothing for me.. apart from I might get my boy-friends attention more. wait no i wouldn't he plays CoD.. which is better in my opinion..Halo is over rated it's just an AVERAGE game not horrid but nothing head turning... or maybe I might get the 360 more.. hmmm
It'd be a world of DOOM! (Get it?)
But in all seriousness, without Halo, a lot of the great FPS's of today would never exist. Halo influenced a whole genre, and there's no real denial to that. I don't like it, but it just is that way. And you don't want to mess up the space-time continuum.

Halo:Combat Evolved did have health bars but they regenerated over a brief amount of time. Due to it's popularity Call of Duty added it in to one of it's games.HG131 said:
