Halo's impact on gaming far surpasses that of Metroid's.
That's extremely debatable.
Its popularity sure did. Halo is far more derivative than it is influential, that's not necessarily a bad thing. What it perfected, it did it well. But I don't see, outside of a few unsuccessful shooters, Halo's legacy at all. CoD is more influential than Halo.

This is such a dumb debate. Metroid is not about multiplayer, and I know Halo has a campaign a lot of people like, but MP is what put it on the map.

I agree. Yes, Halo did impact the shooter genre, but Metroid has an impact in video games that few can compete with. It's the first platformer to have an overarching world, and its tone is still alive and well today. I'm not going to pretend that Metroid Prime has been more influential than Halo itself, but the franchises as a whole, I'm going with Metroid.
