    Simple edit for the news today, I know I don't cover Halo news much anymore, but felt this had to be talked about.
    Anyways I am working on a great call of duty 4 video with lots of nice editing, itll be out later this week or next week :)

    You know for years I come on UA-cam and I've been completely blown away by the work of the Halo fanbase. Even just this past week that guy came out with those amazing remakes of the CE cutscenes. Microsoft needs to hire these people and give Halo to them. For the last decade+ all Halo as a franchise has had going for it is it's fanbase. The knowledge, skill, dedication, and love I've seen so many people put into Halo in their own way is beyond impressive and it all reminds me of why I fell in love with Halo in the first place. These people GET Halo. The reason the franchise has gotten to this point is because they put the wrong people in charge and they lose focus of what made Halo so great. It's time to turn the franchise over to the fans as much as possible.

      @Roberto Marx No, it’s not really Microsoft’s fault, especially Bethesda, Bethesda holds a few other studios like the ones producing doom, fallout, quake etc. Starfield has probally been in development for a few years before the deal, they just decided to cut it into an exclusive, within the next few years, fallout 4 and 76 where a dissaster before Microsoft bought it there wil be prime focused Xbox games from those companies, especially once they cut the deal with Activision-blizzard, 343i has been punished a few times over the last few years they have been getting new directions after since halo 4, hence why they made a halo wars 2 under another studio, I’m pretty sure Microsoft knows 343i needs to step up, and are working on new halo games behind the scenes. Look at Minecraft, after since Microsoft bought it its been getting better and better, the studio grew even more in which they created new Minecraft games.

    I really hope that Infinite is done for, but I do hope that the franchise is not.

That's just me being optimistic though.

      And ironically enough when us the player base had the loudest voice to those who could actually change things instead of actually being Frank with the state of being. People wanted to pretend to be positive and the changes were never made and unfortunately we are approaching a line that looks like it may be the end of Halo. It's like a cancer patient pretending they don't have cancer so they don't go to a treatment to get it solved/cured and end up dying because of it.

And if that replacement isn't a new Halo game, or at least a traditional one, then where do those players go. They risk damaging the brand even more than it is already. My bet is they are refocussing on MP, cutting all unnecessary expense on anyone not focussed on that, will get Halo Infinite MP feature complete with a progression system and whatever else is missing over the next 18 months / 2 years, and then either expand again or ship the campaign off to another studio.

    Look, I'll be honest - I think the writing with Infinite has been on the wall for a while. Season 3 still feels very small scale. Forge failed to bring in a large audience, same with CGB. I don't think even a Battle Royale can resurrect Infinite from these death woes (especially because that genre is so well-saturated). I can easily see Sean's statement surrounding Season 4 as correct, because I think the issues with Halo Infinite are at the core of what's wrong here.
    My hope is that 343 either goes into that publishing mode OR they go back to the roots of what Halo is. The break-out successes, the DOOM 2016s and Elden Rings of gaming aren't playing it safe and doing what everyone else is doing, they're trying new things, experimenting and being refreshing. Halo desperately needs to pull a DOOM 2016 to pull itself out of this slump.
    To be more realistic, I feel that Halo will go on ice for a long time if Microsoft gets Call of Duty. Halo doesn't even make a fraction of what COD does, and I can see 343 becoming a COD support studio (it's clearly what existing upper management wanted from Halo 4 anyway)

    This is bad news, but its good to hear. They need to shelve this whole game if they don't want to add in more campaign, or more things to make this game more similar to past games like split-screen or Firefight. I have had a terrible experience with this game although that is mostly because of the multiplayer. If they do indeed cancel campaign DLC officially then I will have lost all hope for this game's recovery to grace and it will go down as being "just another sequel by 343i" which is such a shame, because the MCC is so much better now than Halo 5 or Infinite. What they S H O U L D do if I were them is literally cancel everything for Infinite and go back to adding new seasons to the MCC and adding new customization options for the other games like Halo 2 Classic/Anniversary or adding customization for Halo CE Anniversary campaign. The sky is the limit for the MCC which is why its sad to me it has a team of like 10 people compared to Infinite's sinking ship.

    Even if Halo gets put on a smaller workforce/crew, I still got a lot of faith in the game and franchise, Warframe started at a really bad with no sponsors or anything to work with being the first free to play game back when the companies DE proposed to laughed in their faces at the idea of “Free to Play”, thinking it would fail, but the fans helped boost the company and game, while the company itself ran on less than 70 or so workers, so lest people to toss ideas for and more focus on what can help their game as the fans helped them in keeping them running, next thing we see is Warframe getting jaw dropping-ly good quests such as Second Dream which seriously spiked the player base count.. Halo CAN have that redemption, we saw similar with MCC where the right people came in and helped as fans of the franchise themselves, Infinite needs to get that kind of thing going where they can bounce ideas between workers who too are fans of the franchise, you can’t have people who aren’t fans working on a project continuing a certain IP, we saw what happened to Velma and these other shows where the writers actively hated the IP they worked on….

    It's such a shame, really. I'm going to catch crap for this, but I think Halo infinite is one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played. I know there aren't key game modes like infection (which I love) but on a gameplay level, there wasn't a time where I got frustrated at the game because somebody was using the meta weapon or exploiting a game breaking bug or tactic. It was always because I got outplayed or got caught right after a firefight. I really enjoy this game and would rank the multiplayer gameplay higher than every other halo multiplayer before it. That being said, it doesn't mean halo 3 or reach us bad, I just prefer infinite to them. To each their own

Now the Halo community (Sonic fandom of fps games😂) got their wish and is sperging out because they clearly didn’t think things through. You also have the people who wanted Bungie to return and make Halo, even though Bungie clearly didn’t want to make Halo anymore and jumped ship to make Destiny. The old Bungie who made Halo what it was is dead because in between Reach and the dumpster fire that was Destiny 1 left of their own free will, we’re kicked out, or placed into bureaucratic positions where they can’t really do anything. Destiny 2 didn’t get good until several years after it’s disastrous launch and was completely restructured. Honestly I think it’s safe to say that Microsoft’s original plan for Gearbox to make Halo would’ve been the best option. Never change you wonderful cancerous spergs😂.

It was easy, but they cared ONLY about the microtransaction store. For all the problems, from launching with no co-op, no campaign, no split screen, multiplayer desync, no forge, etc., the ONE thing that was always working, no matter what other issues there were, was the stupid store...I am done with these guys. MCC has mods, and the community will keep that afloat. 343 was the worst!

    All right, leaving cynical takes aside, tbh, it's all on them. You can't really keep going against your own audience just cause you want Fortnite money and a broader audience, only to wonder why there isn't a stable population when your game was lacking and underperforming under every possible aspect. This game is still remembered for its massive Ls: Craig, the lack of modes, terrible optimization, crashes, the absolute lack of customization paired with paying for f**king colors. The only Ws have happened with Winter and Forge, WAY too late. So, on the one hand I don't want for this game to fail, but on the other, it already has, and not like the shitty VFX that 343 gave to Phantoms, no. It exploded like a Scarab in older titles.
