Why did every FPS released in the mid 2000's want to be the logcutter (Halo killer?)

don't give a shit about the game, looked like trash, but the novelization is pretty good if you're a 40k fan.

Rented this game back then because I thought the cover was cool, turned out I didn't like it. Also tried the online and remember like 2 people playing.

How is Fire Warrior a "Halo killer"? 40K is older than Halo. So, nobody's ever allowed to make sci-fi FPS game because Halo exists? You know Halo was very derivative of Unreal, Quake, Doom right? They're all sci-fi games.

>want to be the logcutter
Is that a euphamism for a butthole?

The better question is why couldn't any of them competently imitate halo?

Its called that 'cause the halo games were the new hotness at the time dominating the console fps discussions, and everyone wanted a piece of that pie. So the marketing chimps did what they do best, claim their game is better. Marketing was more juvenile back then

Halos physics and sandbox engine was next level. Only source engine topped in later in 2004
