You have to give it a chance. Like Half-Life, Halo isn't the old let's shoot everything in site fps. And although I think Half-Life's rythm and pacing and, more importantly, story are superior to Halo, Halo's fighting environments are what set it apart. Besides the all weapons and vehicles (land and airborne) you get to use throughout the game, Halo puts you in complex situations that require tactical solutions. You can't just go out blasting, you have to think about the area. Other games might do this, but not nearly as well.
In my opinion its a groundbreaking game.
