I believe pretty much almost every major publication gave it GOTY. Those that didn't give it GOTY still gave it a huge score. It pushed tons of consoles to people who otherwise would not have purchased an Xbox. People are genuinely excited about it because the first was an EXCELLENT GAME. Did it do anything revolutionary? Besides pushing the FPS genre from a niche PC market to a monster seller and icon for gaming, nothing.
Everything it did, it did superbly. Complain about the level design all you like, but in the end when you take everything that Halo did right from the frenetic gameplay, immersive presention and environments, incredible score and sound, and intuive controls (rare for a console FPS), level design is a minor issue and one that I never even considered. I was too busy having a blast playing the game.
You can continue to downplay Halo all you like, but just realize that you are in the minority.
