    Really it did a few major things for fps

    • regenerating health, allowing for a smoother difficulty curve and easier time balancing for devs
    • online multiplayer
    • A-B tested a bunch of controls for console shooter control schemes going forward

    Until halo right-stick to turn, ads to aim on screen was a common control mechanism.

    As soon as it released regenerating health, the control scheme and online multiplayer became a must-have for AAA fps. For PC it’s basically just regenerating health, which was has proved to be a mixed blessing.
