To celebrate Halo’s 20th anniversary we spoke to a number of Halo veterans, including Ed Fries, who was vice president of Microsoft Games Studios and responsible for bringing Halo and developer Bungie into the Xb🌊ox fold. “I think Halo was the first game to m෴ake an FPS feel good on a console,” he told us. “Today we take dual-stick controls for granted on consoles, but in the year 2001 it was something incredibly new”.
