Because it's the best FPS to be released on a CONSOLE. This means it's extremely easy for a bunch of guys to get together and play against each other without each of them owning a computer and a copy of a game.
Not to mention the Xbox controller is perfect for FPSs.
So no, Halo is not the best FPS ever. It's basically just a good game that has been able to thrive due to it's hardware, most notably the controller. Had the exact same game been released exlusively on the PC, I doubt it would have gotten much recognition.
