Halo has, to me, the perfect blend of accessibility and skill for a shooter, and it really comes alive when playing with 4-8 friends, often split screen, usually after a party or a long night. Some people like MW2 but I don't like the way that game handles, and TF2 is no good on the 360. Halo is the perfect social shooter for me; it doesn't have any spectacular innovation or groundbreaking graphics - it is just pure fun, and more fun the more people are playing. It brings me back to the days of playing Goldeneye and Mario Kart. Plus, Halo 3 had some really awesome things you could do; incredibly accessible map-making, so you wound up with great stuff like Grifball and Run for Cover; an amazing game recorder, so you can save and replay all of your awesome or hilarious kills; and the best, most hassle-free matchmaking system in online gaming. I know a lot of people hate Halo for its fratboy fanbase, middle-of-the-road gameplay strategy and bland main character, but as far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect multiplayer game.
