As such, the gamer will always hold every other game in that genre in comparison to the specific game, usually ignorant of earlier games in the genre which are more worthy of praise. I can't really say if that is 100% true for Halo, but I know for a fact it is with FFVII. Although on that note, I do know plenty of people who refuse to play any FPS that doesn't have Halo in the title.
Crap you know I just realized this. I have friends that went out and bought rainbow six: vegas. They played it for a month or so and then went back to Halo 2. Really I find Rainbow Six: Vegas to have a better overall multiplayer feel to it than Halo 3. The thing that halo 3 has on it is the easy at which you can find a game. Vegas you tend to join matches already in progress (which always sucks because the search says it hasn't started). I brought that up to said friends the other day and they really didn't agree with me. Big surprise!
