Sometimes it can be easy to forget that the original Halo and its sequel Halo 2 both came out on the same console, the original Xbox. The Bungie development team was able to use its experience with the platform to make Halo 2's graphics superior to the original even though both games were designed for the same console. The graphics leap from Halo to Halo 2 was impressive, but it also raised our expectations for Halo 3. If Bungie could make Halo 2 look that good on the Xbox, just imagine what Halo is going to look like on the Xbox 360.
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.

You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
It's a rather good comparison and some of them show real improvement from Halo 1 to 2 to 3. The lightning effects are the best.
...that Halo 3 is merely Halo 2 but in HD. Halo 3 is better than that however, its still not all it could of been...is it?
Maybe Halo 4 (will there be one) will be the true leap into next-gen we were all expecting.
His point is that the knowledge aquired on the Xbox1 wasn't going to help as much as it did from 1 to 2 .. so their knowledge on 360's hardware now due to Halo 3 is going to make the next game really shine.
halo 3 is awesome i disagree with anyone that says its halo 2 in hd.
ok first off let me say halo 3 looks good, but when M$ push their GPU saying it was designed to have full HDR lighting and AA without even pushing it, that clearly isnt the case is it, halo 3 is the 360's BIGGEST game and their cash cow so i would of expected them not to rest on halo until it really set new levels on the xbox. it seems to me they spent more time on the environments and just seemed to slap the charactor models together at the end.
i wouldnt be surprised if bungie would of wanted more time on this game and M$ said NO.
edit: obviously graphics arent the most important part of a game, but they really help to get you into it. what gets me is xbox fanboy constantly bashed the graphics on the ps3 and now that their top game is getting a little negative feed back about its graphics suddenly its... 'graphics arent that important...' 'yeah but the gameplay is what matters...'
personally if i waited over 2 years for a game that was to be released on a completely new system i would of wanted a hugh leap in all aspects of the game, graphics, story, animations etc etc i personally think bungie has fallen far short of what all the fanboys claimed it would be.
oh and Nostredame, regardless of what your avatar may say my PS3 seems to perfectly alive and kicking.
