A failure of modern shooters are the extensive features. I don't want a complicated UI devoted to leveling up my character. I don't want to have so many attacks that you can button mash your way through the levels. Halo avoids all of this. There are aliens. They are quasi-religious about some mysterious ancient rings. They are hell bent on blowing up the universe with said rings and you need to stop them. Some of the aliens lose their faith and join team Human. Sometimes there are zombies too. The weapons system is simple, but trial and error forces you to learn what weapons are most effective against particular enemies. All in all, pretty fun to shoot aliens and drive warthogs.
