I stopped playing video games altogether right around the time the first Halo game was becoming an epidemic. I watched friends drop out of college for that boring cartoon-like joke of a game. I played both 1 and 2 for about 10 minutes each time, and found it to be pathetically bad and in no way enjoyable both times. Even when I killed another player, I felt no sense of accomplishment.
Historically, I've appreciated the fun quality of all sorts of video games. Sports, first-person shooters, racing, etc. I found not one single redeeming quality in Halo or Halo 2. What was it with those games?

Ugh, okay, this is something that's always bothered me too. Halo is a half-decent FPS, I'll give it that much. But to be honest with you, it's just been socially accepted to be a great game despite its shortcomings.
The game is mind-numbingly slow and the gameplay is completely flat. However, there really isn't another choice for console gamers to get their multiplayer FPS fix. The annoying part is that great FPS's have been around for a long time for PC (Quake series anyone?) and not a lot has been developed for consoles because of poor online functionality.
With the coming of Xbox Live and Halo, console gamers were given something to work with and so naturally, having seen nothing better, will continue to worship it until something better comes along.
Shadowrun is coming out soon and the hype for that should be pretty big but you'll still have Halo players clinging on to their "precious". Ah well, in my opinion, an FPS without a mouse and a keyboard isn't an FPS at all.

HALO is the best game ever made. It just kicks a** and I play it all the time with my friends and on-line. But people are different and they like what they like. You should give it another chance.
