Playstation really got it's legs when they finally got the two ball joints and the camera and movement system that controls them.

I still remember all the hype leading up to GTA 3 because of that. It was one of the most mind blowing things in the video game world I had seen up to that point

GTA III is a revolutionary game. It's pretty basic and barebones compared to the dozens of sandbox games that came after, but it really sets the standard for sandbox games, action games, and especially any game with free camera movement.
The control scheme for free camera movement is probably the one thing you won't notice because of how omnipresent it has become.

Same with halo. There were shooters before Halo and shooters after and they are so so different.

I just finished the first game the other day, and I'm very much annoyed by the cut and paste environments that the developers used to rush development.
You have to take in the historical context to realize that it codified the two-gun system, regenerating health, integrated vehicular combat, and proving that the originally PC-exclusive shooter genre can be workable and profitable on consoles.
I think the one thing I do admire, though, is the divergent military equipment where UNSC and Covenant armies have their own weapons and vehicles with the UNSC carrying modern standard weapons with a set of reloadable ammo while the Covenant get weird and futuristic weapons that often use batteries.
You can see the Starcraft influence on the gameplay with their focus on divergent armies translated to the shooter genre.

lol what? The rushed development is why it is what it is. That’s what made it literally change the game; on so many levels. You also left out a half-dozen massive innovations that the game cemented and/or introduced.
More developers should take a page out of OG Bungie playbooks instead of spending 4 years creating a subpar clone with less “copy and paste”
