It's worth noting that halo started off as a mac exclusive back in the day. Microsoft bought bungie out and bought them out of that contract when they were making the xbox.

I'd be more pleased if the platform in question didn't suck. Yes, I'm one of those; not much of a fan of Apple gaming.
Its good that its free. These games honestly kinda suck to me. The XBLA version might give you a seizure.
Right, because I really love to play all my first person shooters with a touch screen and absolutely no keys or buttons. It's cool that it's free, but my time isn't. *Shrug*
Is there an iPad version with controller support at least?

Halo changed the face of first person shooters?
I can't tell if thats blatant trolling, 0/10 just to be safe...

The first largely successful and incredibly popular twin stick FPS that any sci-fi (or any FPS in general) would try to emulate for years to come.
Yeah, Halo did some shit dude.

That's awesome, I still have yet to try marathon.

Yes Halo changed the face of modern first person shooters, and denying that just because you (probably) don't appreciate the series is characteristic of a fool.
Very few games have had the honor of their competition flaunting their product as a [Insert game name here]-Killer.

Not only did Halo really set a nice bar in terms of twin stick shooter control, it may have been the game that brought about the proliferation of the AAA model used by nearly everyone these days. Microsoft owes at least some of its success to the Halo franchise putting the entire Xbox platform on its back in the early years as well. Honestly, without Halo making the twin stick FPS popular among the mainstream crowd (previously a hard as balls niche genre), who the fuck knows what today's landscape would look like.
But yeah, the Marathon games are great by mid 90s standards. Really deep stories and solid gameplay.

Halo changed FPS alright, but for the worse. Going from a game like Half-Life to Halo seemed like a step backwards in the eyes of a PC gamer back in the day. Or maybe that was just me? I guess I can agree it did something positive for console FPS, but I don't give a shit about those.
If they released the first two Myth games for the Eye Things I'd shower them with money in an instant.
I played the second one for about ten seconds. Quit because I didnt get it . Deleted all of the games after that
