What other game has such a fully-featured replay mode? What other game comes with such a variety of maps and game styles? What other game gives you the chance to be teabagged by a pre-pubescent boy with a potty mouth? Hang on, that's not right. All joking aside, the voting results this year indicated what we all knew: nothing's in the same class as Halo.

I think the replay camera really gives Halo 3 the winning advantage. I have seen some sick videos of triple head shots, dying from your own granade, and the mario parody (I know it wasnt online, but it was still something that made the reply cam great).
Halo is one of the best multiplayer games since Goldeneye. Sure Halo the game and even Halo the multiplayer isnt as detailed and perfect as COD 4. But COD 4 is not fun in the same way Halo is. COD 4 is great, but when I think back of all my gaming parties, COD 4 will not be a top memory. Halo parties, Goldeneye weekends, and Mario Kart mania is what sticks in my head. And THAT is why Halo will always win in multiplayer over the realistic games.
And, just a correction in your statement. The Halo franchise is not what made the Xbox. No single game can make a system. It was a highlight game, but it was all the Xbox features, including Live, that made that system. Halo was a great advantage to have, but even with out it, the Xbox would have survived, and we would still have the Xbox 360.
