• I may be in the minority, but I think Halo should just be allowed to die.

• 343 has been trying to do “something new” (chasing trends, mostly) every time they didn’t remaster an existing game, it’s not necesssarily going to work out.

  At this point Halo is just a brand, a franchise, a trademark to be slapped onto whatever the IP owners want to do with a popularity boost - the story (/ lore / narrative) has been brought to hell and back and to hell again, and the gameplay has been bent so much with each title that it doesn’t really have an identity anymore either.

  CoD players won’t like it because it’s not CoD, Halo players will play it for a few hours because At Least It’s Kinda Fun I Guess™, everyone else will be like “Halo? Like, the one Jesus had?”, and whatever contractors Microsoft/Activision will hire won’t be given enough time, space or resources to cook something that is more than mediocre.

• No, no, Halo has been Call Of Titanfall Strike: Global Offensive Theft Auto 2: Yet Another An Ancient Evil Awakens Worse Than The One Before in space since 343 took over

• Halo became what it is now because they tried to turn it into CoD, so it couldn’t be better either

• Couldn’t they just frame it as having reached the peak of what the Halo IP has to offer?

  It’s not like shareholders know shit about fuck, and the community doesn’t even exist in Microsoft’s eyes

• Some random schmuck from Helldivers 2:

  if I’m lucky I instantly die to high-explosives lobbed at me by my allies,
  if I’m not I bleed out due to a random selection of two limbs chopped off by Dead Space looking mfs while breathing in unknown stuff that makes me hear inverted echoes - either of those in no more than 40 minutes from now.

  Fortunately I wasn’t wearing adreno-defibrillator armor, otherwise I wouldn’t even be allowed to die for a while.
