This franchise did unfathomable damage to the industry as a whole. It kickstarted the dudebro aesthetic, it opened the door for casuals, normalfags, and "gamer girls" to come into the hobby and act like they were part of some "us gamers huh" counter culture. Emphasis on multiplayer, graphics, marketing, DLC, so much that went wrong over the course of the industry as whole has its roots in Halo.

But that is good, gamers are faggot consoomers and lobotomites fixated on bullshit.
If you consider yourself a "gamer" you felt for an ad.

>people already forgetting the I ONLY PLAY MATURE GAMES FOR MATURE GAMES LIKE MYSELF
For some reason, America had a problem with video games being seen as 'childlike' and tried to overcompensate by creating the DUDEBRO movement.

Which is ironic, considering that 'BING BING WAHOO LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS' is now considered envogue.
