You answered your own question sadly. Budgets are too big so too much rides on each game to take risks. Teams consist of far too many people now creating unnecessary junctions in content pipelines and increasing the budget at the same time. New tech requires new skills, techniques and practices whilst costing more money to work with. When you combine this with whatever is going on behind the scenes in Microsoft itself and it’s a miracle they got Infinite together. I wish they’d put Halo to bed and focus on a new franchise because I don’t think they’ll ever capture the magic of Bungie’s trilogy again.

Also a completely different culture, if you say anything, negative to your manager about the game you are looked down upon, and your chances of moving up gets negatively impacted. And the biggest reason is that some of the employees don't really care about halo this is a job to them, not like bungie who took great pride on halo and viewed it as their achievement. Of course bad management and horrible choices helped too..

We also got like more than 2 decades worth of lessons and mistakes you can learn from video games before you, but we all know the only thing AAA companies wanna learn is how to manipulate the human psych more so they can make their microtransactions more addicting.

Agreed. They dont really have anywhere else to go as far as delivering any kind of "new" experience. They just need to get back to basics with the fundementals of great gameplay. Story, character, and fun mechanics. And theyve already shown time and again they cant get all three of those right. I thought infinite was a lot of fun. I loved what they were going for in that game. They added a lot of new things while still somehow feeling grounded to the original games. Which was in and of itself quite an accomplishment. The leveling system, the open world, the new mechanics. All those things were good and just the refresh the franchise needed. But also everything could have been better. It felt like they needed another year or two of development on it in just about every way. And the utter lack of any kind of engaging story had me eventually uninstalling the game only not even half way complete. I think doing what they originally set out to do with Infinite while also adding a great story is really the only way 343 can save Halo. But that would be an extremely ambitioua indertaing. Who knows though. Maybe thats whats taking so long to hear any news? 🤷‍♂️🤔

The next Halo should be done by a new studio and take the Gears of War approach. The foundation of the best Halo games is the Human Covenant war. There are so many cool games that could be made set in those 28 years. An ODST milsim game set shortly after Harvest, or a game focusing on lesser known Spartans II's and III's. Halo needs to scrap anything after 3 narrative wise and go back to what works.

@Arander92

Ай бұрын

I think they should reboot everything that happens after either 3 or 4. As for lore, they can take the Disney Star Wars approach, but in an effective way, not the awful way Disney did it. Preserve what works (Forerunners being a separate species, Flood being the pissed off remains of a dead god, star roads, neural physics and shit), and discard what doesn’t (Forerunners being authoritarian assholes, Cortana becoming a villain, Spartan IVs, ancient humans being advanced with a vast intergalactic empire that makes no goddamn sense)

I think a good Halo Game needs a Great Campaign, and a great PARTY Shooter. Not a Skill Based Matchmaking multiplayer. Halo CE is a great Example of that and it’s the game that started the franchise. If Microsoft does make the next Halo in Unreal Engine 5 then there shouldn’t be any problems of having a good campaign and Multiplayer.

Why do we as customers have to accept either a bad campaign or a bad multiplayer when bungie halos had both.. this is just ridiculous.

It takes a very special type of developer to make a unique open world that is not just another lifeless void of generic activities like a Ubisoft game map.

"we learned from halo 4" "we learned from MCC" "we learned from halo 5" "we learned from infinite" 343, you guys aren't learning shit

I say get rid of 343 entirely and give it to certain affinity, they do a good job as a support and I preferred their multiplayer from doom.

Esports, greed, and awful writing killed Halo.

We know 343 is making halo 7 and it's gonna be more hot trash. That is something

i dont understand why 343 keeps making these stupid decisions, they have definitely heard how much people hate what they're doing so why dont they actually listen to us and make a change? maybe fire those people who dont like guns while your at it

If 343 can't handle the whole package then don't handle it at all, that's my opinion. Halo deserves only the best, not skewed or half assed effort. Same goes for Microsoft as well with Xbox in general but in relation to Halo as well and having the right studio with the right resources. Or just have another studio do the multiplayer entirely since their track record is overall mediorce.

I seriously know how to fix the franchise. I seriously do. Wish they'd just let me direct the entire thing. The story is key. I know what it was supposed to be. Make a podcast man, we can talk about it. Halo 4 rushed the introduction of the Forerunner nemesis and their specific entangled lore with humanity. But it was an intro. Halo 5's terminals were clearly, CLEARLY delving into genetic memory and some spiritual inheritance, or legacy, if you will. It would have provided credence to the rush of Halo 4. It even had the opportunity of redefining what the Halos actually were, the purpose of the Forerunner megastructures, the truth of the Precursors, other civilizations, but all in the context of Humanity vs. Forerunners. We never did justice to the intended lore. Which idiots write these games now? Everything feels like a simple story. When you have a sudden shift in things, like Halo 4, you can't just keep going- You need the next title to revisit, clarify, establish properly that which is novel, and then continue. Similar to The Fellowship of the Ring PROPERLY being laid out by the first half of the Two Towers. There, we knew where we really were in all this lore.

@EggEnjoyer I'm literally talking about fixing 343's shit story. What ended up in the games was crap. I'm talking about way more than 343, what the intentions were, even some things 343 and Bungie understood but never came to fruition. Don't be an impulsive moron. Understand what is being said, FIRST. Before 343 was even a thing, the books were written many years in advance. Humanity was a covenant of its own across a few primordial species and was space faring. I don't know what you're talking about, dude. The Precursors were established. The Forerunners were a mystery. 343 botched everything (along with other YT channels who put it out) with ideas like the Precursors INTENDING to turn into The Flood for retribution, when it wasn't- but an accident, a corruption of what they intended, that turned into a poetic plague that assaulted Forerunners and Humanity. It was meant from the beginning that the specific histories of everyone would be ancient stories to be uncovered throughout the franchise. They completely devolved from that. You want to dumb down the story into some pathetic BS like humans were the forerunners? Not a separate species? That's just rewriting everything that' already set. And makes the lore so shallow. The idea was the upliftment of The Mantle and what it truly means, and the story of strife in politics, even spiritual values, that caused rifts between the civilizations back then. Now we just have a stupid idea from you. There's supposed to be an opportunity to discover more about humanity's origins and the Forerunners and the Precursors and how everything came to be, and what everything REALLY MEANS.

I want a great campaign because if I want to play multiplayer I can just play any of them on the Master Chief Collection.

I think the main issue for a lot of games these days it’s just a lack of social interaction. There is such a fear of having a toxic player talk to the community that they mute everyone and then you can’t make any friends and then you have no reason to play the game because you have no friends playing the game

Multiplayer is pretty crucial. As great as it would be to have a killer campaign, there’s only so many times you can run through it. Multiplayer keeps people coming back and makes the franchise sustainable.

Spin-offs are not acceptable. There is no possible reason to split and do a campaign only or Multiplayer only when 20 years ago both were handled with ease, y’all just giving them more reason to invade our pockets by asking for individual shit. They need both MP and Campaign, and put the time into them. Ridiculous they would garner oh we can only do one or the other.

Why we can‘t have a Campaign and Multiplayer like Halo 2, Halo 3 or Halo Reach. All three were Awesome

The idea that they think we have to have one or the other, not both, is exactly what's wrong with the entertainment industry. It's real easy. If you're afraid it's gonna flop, don't slap the Halo name on it. 343 has had the same chance Bungie did, and they failed. Massively. Let's not make excuses, let's just look at the facts and make informed decisions about what we're purchasing.

343 didn’t have to do anything but remaster each halo game for their 10th year and add it to MCC. That’s all we’ve been asking for since 2017 :(

They need to do this: 1. Make a campaign only Halo Game 2. Add a multiplayer game that links to it that you can decide to download, like COD. 3. After these, either continue releasing DLC stories in that game, or keep making new halo games, they have a whole new universe now with the banished and flood they can explore.\ I actually liked the evil cortana storyline, I thought it made quite a bit of sense, but they did not execute it well, and the fact that they just skipped over solving the issue is just annoying. There should have been a game where Chief, and only chief, maybe with his team, but no Locke team, should have gone to stop Cortana as all costs with the backing of the rest of humanity. That would have been one hell of a game, but they delivered halo 5, where master chief was Kind of a side character at best.

I know that I no longer care.... there have been more bad Halo games than good ones now... we have tech in our smart phones more powerful than the 360.... yet I think Halo 3 and reach were the true end. The fans build better ideas in their sleep....and yet here we are. There are better games out there. Let the giant fall and show them their failures.

I’m not sure why you are saying halo 4 had a good campaign or 5 had a good multiplayer. H4’s campaign was generally disliked with the gameplay, levels, story deviations, the enemies, etc. and halo 5 was almost universally disliked for its massive changes to the core gameplay while still maintaining the bad new art style

The more I realise how much 343I ignores it's players and doesn't actually communicate, the more I want a Japanese studio to take Halo... imagine a Square Enix Halo game.

If I was the owner of halo i would retcon everything 343 did and start fresh with a halo game set in the human covenant war and you play as a marine

I think 343 should focus on the multiplayer personally. As much as I love the post Bungie Halo lore, 343i have shown a lack of respect to the cannon quite recently. This means the campaign should be given to another team with a passion for Halo.

i'm a halo fan since i'm 7 and i'm getting 28 soon, i don't know any more to be honest, 343 didn't care about the past and what made halo... well halo... and since they don't care about us, the old school fans there can go screw them :/

I think they should outsource the campaign to Certain Affinity while they do multiplayer because some old Bungie devs(at least last I heard) work at Certain Affinity. 343 has proven they can do a good multiplayer, and without the pressure of a campaign, I think it would go fairly well.

Copy paste MP to Unreal5, Add Certain Affinity's game mode, MAKE AN AMAZING CAMPAIGN STORY, that we blow the fans minds. Open world should be an environment that continues to expand. 343i should be leading, not following.

Halo plan needs to be care and love for multiplayer and campaign(not to separate the two game mode.) Bungie were able to care for campaign and multiplayer for 9 years. 343 gonna stop trying to be different and just copy OG Bungie ways. That's how you save this dry ass franchise. Don't just focus on one side of halo. Focus on both side and fucking care for once

Halo 2: Two will save Halo

A Halo game needs both to be truly successful, but they're in a unique spot where they can make a new campaign and just connect it to infinite, forge, and infrastructure are already set. Or they can essentially hand the MP reigns off to Certian Affinity or another support studio and have them make an MP hub that they maintain and integrate into new Halo games. Basically, 343 makes a new campaign, and CA updates the MP with a new "season," but on a larger scale. Also, i would rather have a trailer when the game is almost done rather than getting Elder Scrolls 6'd

@@iLegionaire3755 let me plasma pistol things again too... remember how they changed the reach turret damage because clearly someone on the team played reach and raged every time someone used a turret, so they nerfed it? Remember how the needles got buffed to super combine thru shields? Remember all the weapon balancing changes that only happened after 343 came around? That's how you know someone on the team has delusions about the meta of halo. Someone who disliked plasma pistoling melee advantage, and who couldn't handle the majority of multiplayer without buffing the og Bungie pink mist so it could outshine all others. It's funny that every other good map has a needler and it gets buffed, but the annoying things that made the game unique were patched out. The mindset clearly comes from a player a bad one at that. Why else would the old games have received nerfs on MCC, like the turret in reach. Why change an old gane... Unless you had beef with that game, that you were never skilled enough to settle back in the day, so you have to sneak around a dying franchise and ruin it, because skill issue made you cope, and hiring you was a mistake. Do you ever get the feeling that someone like that is working there, like a few people? Because some of the changes made to old weapons really feels like hardcore, specified cope to me, uncharacteristic of a dev team. It's also odd that with limited resources someone would devote time to nerfing old things... It's almost as if this person's mindset is one of two, A: I am seriously deluded, or B: I have the direct objective to make people dislike this franchise and I was put in this position or put myself here to stop either a certain group/demographic from having any enjoyment, or to stop a market opponent from gaining sales. What I'm saying is, the odd behavior suggests effort has been put in to make us unhappy, intentionally. The only reasons why would have to be money, somehow someone gains from this... Or it's petty and self destructive and pathetic, maybe... Someone didn't get their way once, and this is their act of revenge. If anyone at 343 is reading this, im sorry the big bad guns scare you, even tho you just said that to gain sympathy you didn't get in the end, but I too lost my father. He played halo, and loved it. He'd be disgusted with halo as much as he would star wars, his favorite thing was star wars. And he'd say the same thing I'm saying. The people ruining halo are the same group as the ones ruining other things. It isn't political ideology it's more organized than that. That's why it always gallows a pattern. Someone told all these subgroups to do it the same copy and paste way... Lazy. To any and all cancel culture, sweet baby adjacent freaks out there... Take your daddy issues out somewhere else, and maybe you'd father will come back with the milk he went out to get years ago. And if like me you see the pattern of these pathetic league of legends dev, discord moderator looking weirdos, good. Your smart. And when these people are exposed fully, we all we point and laugh together, because that's the one thing they don't like

The easiest answer is kick 343 out of the kitchen and let someone else cook, maybe the original pioneers of the franchise?

The music from the bungie days was perfect it brought emotions that I havnt felt in so long That's why I sometimes sit on the h3 home screen and just listen

all they had to do was make Halo 3.5. They had one job Halo 3.5 and they couldn’t even do that right. Halo 3 Anniversary needs to happen as soon as possible. Properly. In other words 343 Industries is BANNED from developing it without extreme supervision.

Dear Microsoft this a FREE advise that will save you and help you make millions, STOP FCKING HIRING PEOPLE THAT DONT LIKE HALO, get a bunch of halo fans (maybe the team that made eldewrito o some of the mods), go back to military story (not uuuuu who master chief wants to fuck or that bs) and hire people for the job not freaking contract people that will leave after a year

I honestly had more fun replaying halo 4 and 5, Infinite is just too damn repetitive.

Halo 7: Finish the Game (please)

A cool idea for a halo spinoff is a campaign on jun from halo reach

they should make a helldivers halo and we play blue team or maybe red team or any team being thrown into different missions than it all comes together with all the teams in a raid to take back a planet or halo or something. Campaign and multiplayer together in one game.

Let someone else setup halos MP we need campaigns like the trilogy.

Reboot the entire franchise into a dark/gritty true to the lore HALO experience starting with before HALO CE.

Halo desperately needs a Human-Covenant War era spin off game. We’re tired of all this forerunner bs, bring us back to the classic era

The original Halo trilogy had an awesomely original and immersive story. It was simple, yet full of twists, iconic likeable characters, and a rich game universe to discover as the backdrop. That along with the innovative and fun gameplay mechanics made for a campaign where the player can't wait to see what's around the next corner. And looks forward to each new engagement, no matter the level of challenge. The multiplayer was such a major hit, kind of by proxy. They already had the winning gameplay mechanics dialed in. The multiplayer was a easy slamdunk. The problem is though, that at the time the multiplayer became so popular that they invested too heavily in it. With the next mainline imstallment, Reach, we got a limited lackluster campaign which basically amounted to a glorified in-game training for all the new features in the multiplayer. Which was released early as a beta btw. It was pretty clear they had both feet planted in the multiplayer camp. And they forgot that what made the original trilogy so special and belov3d was that they had absolutely nailed the fundamentals of a great campaign first. It seems ever since Halo 3, they've never been able to understand what makes those games so amazing. And have since been all over the place. Seemingly thowing anything and everything at the wall to see what sticks. All the new features, story development, mechanics, etc that they've tacked on since Halo 3 havent really added anything worthwhile or engaging. Although I really do think the grapple hook is a perfect tool in Master Chiefs arsenal that would have been right at home even in the original games. I really do hope they find there way though and deliver to the fans an amazing campaign to experience.

the show is an insult, and the guy behind it didnt even want to do halo, he wanted an ME show. It's not some deep mystery as to why Halo died.

Whats ME?

Honestly I still think years ago Halo as an IP should have made a Campaign series and an online game that uses the skins from the Campaigns, link the save data from the Campaigns to allow assets to crossover but just make the ONE online multiplayer for the full trilogy, meanwhile making sure each Campaign has local couch Co-op split screen. Then instead of re-inventing the wheel 3 times they make online Multiplayer once, everyone wanting to play that gets their updates and anyone wanting a story/firefight gets their game, keep All 4 games as fully paid games separated, but tie-in forge to only one or 2 of the four while leaving a forge/firefight ACCESS code in the other games, so we can download the game with forge access free ONLY to use online forge/firefights with friends if we buy the other 3 games but decide to not engage with the online multiplayer, but the game isn't SO free that we can cheat on it or treat it like garbage and maybe we eventually decide we actually want the multiplayer and pay to be there.

The frustrating thing for me especially with Infinite, both with the multiplayer and campaign is I think the base gameplay is probably the best we’ve seen since Halo 3. The movement and gunplay feels SO SO good and the art style is a beautiful combination of old and new. But…that’s it. The Campaign was nostalgic and intriguing but felt incomplete. The multiplayer did not receive the post-launch support it deserved. 343 showed it had the potential with Infinite to make a great Halo multiplayer and story but they just left them as half-baked. That’s what makes me so sad, is that I LOVE Infinite for what it is, but it just hasn’t been given the love and care it needs to be great long-term.

Honestly at this point I'd rather let Halo finally end/rest than be disappointed again by 343.

Zero reason a AAA studio can’t make a finished campaign and MO and have both be phenomenal

They really must start putting Halo, Forza & others on PlayStation! That's their only way forward since Xbox is going third party.

I don’t understand people who pretend the campaign on this dumpster fire of a game was “Good” I didn’t even bother buying it after seeing it was a soulless open world, everything looks unpolished and repetitive and the banished are the most boring and least interesting faction in the whole franchise

No way 94% of the Halo community finds campaign more important. I have not played a campaign since Halo 2 and all I ever play is multiplayer. They are both really important in my eyes even though I basically just play multiplayer. As soon as Halo 2 and xbox live hit, it was game over.

It would be an industry first for them to not fuck up the next game. 4 bad games in a row and the 5th one being good just doesn’t happen

Personally I'm still still waiting for a Halo game to captivate me like Halo: Reach did. My personal favourite Halo. The armor customisation that felt worth the grind and on top of that your very own spartan showing up in the cinematics just made me fall in love with it all. Not saying the game was perfect, but haven't felt the same about another Halo game since.

Honestly they should’ve just made campaign dlc to keep the game somewhat alive. I think what most people thought when they heard free multiplayer was that they would have dlc for the game. Not just one ok campaign

What I really get annoyed with is ever since Halo 2, we have not played as any of the aliens. Halo Combat Evolved established the premise that the entire human-Covenant war was a series of phyrrhic victories at best, and devastating losses for humanity as par for the course. Halo 2 (and Halo 3) addressed the fact military victory was impossible for humanity, and showed us the perspective of the Covenant group of aliens from the eyes of the Arbiter. Since Halo 4, the tone has changed to humanity is alone in the galaxy, and offers support to the Arbiter's tiny startup nation. WHY!? It's like Bungie wrote about modern warfare from the perspective of ENGLAND and AUSTRALIA and then 343 Industries mistook ENGLAND and AUSTRALIA for AMERICA.

The campaign was aight, I wouldn’t call it good but definitely not bad.

As a longtime halo fan i want a reboot so bad. With a change from 1st person to 3rd person with the option to go 1st person and assassinations coming back. They could add more meat to the Campaign like cut content.

Could we please bring back armor that was unlocked with achievements/points earned from performance in multi-player... performance in the campaign... like a marriage of what we had in Halo 3 and Reach?

I wouldn’t say the multiplayer for Infinite sucked, it lacked incentive/content/style. Even when I played Halo 5, I knew each game gave me points, points open packs and packs give me armor. It made playing feel like you were working on a goal while having fun. Plus you gained xp to rank up. Having a battle pass only gave us filler crap which was not worth the time sink so we lost that incentive to play. Then the armor cores took away the ability to customize to your style, and not having any commendations that would unlock anything also hurt your style. Example: If you were a fan of sniping, completing the commendation for sniper kills allowed you to show that style off by equipping the emblem you earned. People would know what it meant to have that and it carried weight. Assassinations were removed, which personally hurt cause my stealth playstyle I take in other games derived from my love of assassinations in Halo. It’s why I mained spy in Team Fortress 2. Combine this with VERY limited content, and you get a limited experience with no reason to sink time that doesn’t let you immerse yourself into that experience. Which player immersion (or maybe role playing) was something Halo was great at even going as far as making your player spartan and war games cannon. But what’s the point when I can’t customize it like in the reach/4 days and you remove features that gave us that extra flare. Not the mention the shop takes all the fun and gratification out of earning that flair. Greedy corpo tactics.

As I read through the comments I try to remember what it was like back when Bungie had the creative steering wheel and developing games. We as the consumer didn't have the resources we do now to display our opinions for each game release. So our capacity to criticize games has immensely increased in this new era. Now that Bungie games are well in the past, they have more of a nostalgic influence on us and we hold them with very high value in our thoughts. They were outstanding games yes, but it's healthy to realise that we view the 'old' games with quite a different perspective than we do with the new games. If Bungie were still releasing games today I am convinced there would still be the same critical environment over their games with divided opinions. ..... Reach is the best Halo...

2:48 *both of them suck.

Lets make games the way that investors like it, as cheap as possible... For the investors!!! With nothing special about it anymore I haven't even opened infinite yet. I loved the original trilogy and reach played they hell out of all of those campaigns. Play 4 and 5 maybe twice it just wasn't as fun and didn't like the shift away from fun multiplayer to competitive multiplayer. Than they drop the halo show.... What the fuck even was that, how do you fuck that up Soo bad. All they had to do was get a halo book, buy the rights to use it to make a show and if done right it could have completed with fallout, but instead of getting people who even liked the halo series to do a show, they got people who thought it was their big opportunity for shitty mass effect fan fic to be a show. Or maybe it's all nostalgia

Why wasn't that "This is Halo Infinite" trailer at the show!? That blows my mind it came out a couple weeks before. I do think splitting MP & campaign is a good move. Let Certain Affinity handle MP. In-house studio focus on story driven narratives.
