Not that I had much hope for this remake to begin with but hearing this has completely killed any hope I had for it. Once again 343 has proven they never deserved Halo, the inheritance of the mantle of responsibility for all of Halo was never meant for them, it seems fans will have to remake Halo ourselves. Madders are already remaking Halo CE, perhaps with the right assets from the SlipSpace engine or even Unreal we can simply remake all Bungie era games and continue the story from where they left of ourselves and do better.

While I'm sure some Bungie (current or former) employees like Joe Staten would love to work on Halo again, much of the reason Bungie sold Halo to Microsoft was because they did not want to keep making it. They were sick of it, especially after Halo 2's development hell. IF they were going to give Halo to anyone, I'd rather it be Certain Affinity which are primarily made up of former Bungie employees that worked on Halo. But that being said, I'd rather Mircosoft end Halo for a little while. As much as I love it, nothing will compared to the first 5 games and how cohesive and well written the story was.

(I mean, they literally named 343 after the character that betrays Master Chief in CE). I really like the idea of Microsoft putting together a team of the old Bungie guys. We've been saying for a while that the Halo IP needs to be shared across studios now since 343 has been constantly making missteps for over a decade, so why not let them have their own side project? They could make a Halo: ODST 2. The ODST's have been gone long unloved and never properly utilized under 343, so if the ex-Bungie guys wanted a crack at it, I say let them.

343i, like many modern corporate entertainment entities, just cant understand what made franchises of the past so entertaining. They think they're geniuses and think the market will follow wherever they take these series and can not and will not consider a future where they unknowingly lead it in a "bad direction". Narcissism, hubris and stupidity. But luckily the market can humble them with cold hard results.

I just find it so odd that we might be getting a remaster of the first Halo. Sure it's a classic, but I think a continuation of Halo's current story would be good or a game about some of the other characters like more Noble 6 or more rookie.

Microsoft/343 should definitely be consulting with ex Bungie devs if the Halo Remake project is actually in development. My hope with Infinite and with 343 bringing back Joseph Staten was that we would actually get a return to form when it came to the "Halo Formula" we all know and love. But that never really panned out as i'm sure the game was already too far in development for Joesph to really course correct anything. I'm also concerned with Gears of War E Day. Cliffy B. mentioned in a recent podcast interview that Microsoft/The Coalition hasn't reached out to him in any way for consulting or helping out with the development of the game. Why wouldn't you want consulting from someone who was instrumental in the creation of the IP. smh.

he's playing from australia so the game puts him in other regions' servers because of infinite's low population

All this makes the last 10 years make even more sense while at the same time making it more infuriating to be a halo fan. So tired of 343i as a company, just give the IP to the companies that want to make a Halo game and to people that actually care about the original story.

Twitter really is hell…

It’s at the point where we have to say fuck what 343 want’s Microsoft should be doing something about this studio ruining the franchise

They're probably just jealous that most of us prefer the bungie games Which is unfortunate because at the end of the day we just want a good game, and this move isn't really helping either

Didnt we already know this as they bragged about purposely not hiring ex bungie?

I love this franchise. A lot of stuff i'm planning was, and still is, at its core, Halo, and to see that the creators just clearly do not care at all? Its just a god damn shame. I am reminded constantly nowadays of Takahata saying repeatedly while watch DBZA, never love a thing more than its creator.

It's really not that hard for Microsoft to make the right decision here. Listen to the people and look at what 343 has done. It's a no brainer. Take 343 off and get the people who love Halo to work on it.

Who knew naming 343 after the monitor who deceived the player would become so ironic

Reminds me of Halo 4, "we actually tried to hire people who don't like Halo". Ya that worked out.

they should change their company name to 343 insecurities at this point

343 doesn't like Bungie, if they are going to "remaster" or "remake" Halo they are going to make it follow the Halo TV show.

Amazing Video man! I totally agree. I hope 343 and Microsoft considers talking to the original bungie devs, and bringing in anyone interested.

It's things like this that make you actually consider the "humiliation ritual" narrative. It's so crazy that it seems like parody.

we will never get change if evereyone wants to play the nice guy all the time, you need to be ruthless to get the message across

The issue is the bridges there have been burned, blown up, lied about and lied to, etc. too much that we would much sooner find another Earth-like planet in our solar system that we could make "earth 2" before we would get all of or even half of the old Halo Bungie team back together. Just about all of them are either working at other studios, retired, or have been burned, lied to, and spat on by 343 too much they no longer care to interact with them even for a minute. 343 has made a very calculated and concerted effort to make the Bungie devs who worked on Halo to know that they are not welcome to work on Halo anymore. For something like this to happen Microsoft would have to do some insane leg work to fix the burned and mangled bridges that 343 destroyed.

Something to note is that 343 answers directly to MS. If MS doesn't want 343 to do something, they won't do it, no questions asked. Back in the day, MS would suggest or demand stuff for Halo, and Bungie would fight back. I'm willing to bet that, even if some people at 343 wanted to hire ex-Bungie devs, MS told them no. MS wants a bunch of yes-men, and they know they won't get that with most ex-Bungie devs. I mean think about it, 343 did have ex-Bungie devs at the studio at one point. Hell, Frank O'Connor was ex-Bungie, and he was one of the top dogs at the studio. Why, because he was a yes-man. Some things have changed since the Halo 4 days though. The 343 of today is a completely different studio from the 343 of the Halo 4 or Halo 5 days. Using the "we hired people who don't like Halo" quote these days seems silly when basically none of the people who said/enforced that still work at the studio. If you want to get mad at a company, start pointing the blame at MS. They never understood Halo from the start, and instead of admitting that and letting Bungie/343 make a good Halo game, they'd rather let the franchise fall into irrelevancy.

Legitimately the smartest post in this entire comment section. People are putting the cart before the horse with 343. They are allowed and encouraged by their boss to make bad decisions. It doesn't matter if they cease to exist because MS can get another yes man. There is no shortage of those people.

343Industries is just like Lucasfilm ... They so focused on other things that are degrading the franchise instead of making more creations of what we love. They need to stop rewriting or reinventing the wheel with Halo and just start dishing out Halo games every year. They need more studios instead of having so much contracting temp hires. Social politics is running the Halo franchise into the ground. All these awareness months/holidays and other factors like not being rated M for Mature anymore is really damaging aswell as the free to play live service model. We need a full complete game unless we have multiple halo studios developing diff Halo projects within due time.

For those who dont understand. Halo has been subverted and destroyed. And I, for one, don't see any real future for Halo under 343i.

If 343 doesn't want ex bungie devs, then they do not deserve the IP. 343 should've been the only studio Microsoft ditched.

Welp I know how Star Wars fans are feeling now us halo fans and Star Wars fans are all in the same boat now 😞

That’s just messed up to deny someone who’s passionate. It honestly feels like Halo is going the way of recent Star Wars which hurts the fans. Fans would be happy for the OG creators to work on Halo which this is known but 343 and MS seem to avoid it.

Mint this is a message for you and may apply to other content creators for halo I hope you truly get what this message means. I Enjoy your videos a lot because you try your best to send positivity towards Halo and it’s fans because they are craving it especially in this past decade, BUT now is time to take desperate measures against 343. I am NOT saying we should attack them with insults because of the reason you mentioned on your video, but 343 needs to go, they have to leave the halo franchise, the videos need to be more impactful or serious targeting the community to sign petitions or revolt against 343 some way or another like helldivers 2 showed us or war thunder. I am, and many are absolutely angry about the recent news (and I am not talking of the eventuality that they want to reboot everything) and your videos need to be a little more less positive (towards 343) we need to stop accepting this bs because if we keep this pace, we can wait till 2552 to actually have a good halo game, literally I hope you understand From a random halo fan.

Actually I kinda relate to this person. I'm not crazy about guns myself and not really fond of hyper-realistic shooters like CoD. But Halo and DRG I'm fine with (and other sci-fi stuff). Not everyone who likes Halo is gun nut! Besides, the guy said that Halo DOESN'T bother him. So this shouldn't really affect anything.

@laserrobotduck

Ай бұрын

Also in the dev's defense, the guy clarified that the sci-fi aesthetic is good for the separation from reality. There's plenty of things I like to do in videogames that I wouldn't like to do in reality. For me, usually, the videogame is separation enough, but we should all understand that we all draw different lines

I'm straight up gonna go up to bat for the "anti-gun dev", as long as they aren't working on the guns themselves, I don't see why they can't help work on other aspects of the game. They also said that the guns in Halo rarely ever make them uneasy, which makes this whole discussion seem kinda questionable to me. I especially empathise with the dev in question if they're American, considerinbg mass shootings and gun violence are hugely rampant here. As far as the "just work on the games that don't include guns" point, it unfortunatly isn't as easy as that from what I'm aware of. There are a ton of people looking for work in game development right now, and it's unfortunatly become a bit of a "get what you can get" situation for most at the moment. Perhaps Halo isn't the ideal project the dev would want, but they would likely rather have a project they're iffy on then none at all. I'm a largely a pro gun dude, but I can't help but shake that this is largely a non-issue where most of the people who are upset are upset for largely political reasons.Disagreements are all fine, but the Halo fanbase hardly needs any more reasons for outside people to see us as toxic assholes. TL;DR, Who cares? Their opinion probably isn't hurting anything if they're just a grunt worker, don't harrass devs over for small political issues.

The people working on Halo need to be passionate about everything going into the game. The way people at id are passionate about doom, the way people at infinity war are passionate about modern warfare, and the way old school bungie was passionate about halo.

Microsoft needs to step in a stop this BS from completely destroying halo.

343 is so frustrating

Not a defense of 343, but, there isn't a need for bungie devs. The Halo "feel" is already there to copy in the first 3 games. Kelly Gay could honestly be on the writing team for the games, and I'd be perfectly happy because she seems to have the perfect grasp on what makes the halo story great. Plus, having an ex bungie dev doesn't suddenly mean the game will be good. Thats such a ridiculous oversimplification. Reach was much worse than halo 3 imo. Even legendary developers make shit games. Shinji Mikami is a great example of this. If 343 is truly anti bungie devs, that dumb, but it's literally the flip side of halo MUST have bungie devs to be good at all. Both are ridiculous positions.

I'm just about done with Halo as a videogame. I'm still here to casually play with friends when they hit me up, and because I'm genuinely interested on seeing how the story is gonna be moved forward in terms of the endless, offensive bias, and the spirit of fire. The Halo CE remake MUST include all these OG devs that are no longer associated with Bungie (Except Paul Russell, he said he is done with working on videogames). And if it doesn't, and it's yet another failure of a game, then this franchise is truly at a point where it cannot ever go back to what it once was. It's almost impossible at this point. A bad remake would just put the final nail on the coffin.

saw a video on this today about this as well about how 343 didnt want Marty O'Donnell either and they treated Jeff Steitzer the classic halo multiplayer announcer like crap and wanted to replace Steve Downes and Jen Taylor, like halo isnt halo without Steve and Jen as master chief and cortana. like all these insider leaks makes me not want anything to do with 343 made halo games anymore

Work-4-Woke industries

Mint Blitz: "Stop being toxic to 343 Industries employees"! Also Mint Blitz: "Here's another unconfirmed reason to be toxic to 343 Industries employees" !

Just based off that tweet you know that dev loves content for a “modern audience”

343 pissed me off on how invincible they made the Halo infinite Hunters. I dumped all the ammo I had and they still wouldn't die.

343 is extremely petty. Some talented folks there but that's really a shame. A new dev should have the franchise.

As long as 343 keeps this "Fuck Bungie and what they did with Halo" attitude, we'll NEVER get a Halo game like we actually want

It´s time to close 343 Industries and hire great people like the people from Bungie and start over.

This is truly the end of an era.

I agree with Mint yall guys need to stop letting your emotion charge your responses You instantly give 343 a blanket to cover the problem at hand when you do this. Dont cave into anger and instead use some facts to add insult to injury. Not curse words and threats. These people need to be dethroned and that wont happen when yall keep giving them ammo to fire back with.
