@NicmeistaR Warzone Firefight was peak, as was most of Halo 5's MP experience.
I'm looking forward to playing custom maps in Firefight. Maybe modding will allow us to play Infinite's version of Firefight as well, as that was fun.
@LateNightHalo I am good.
People like you give the community a bad name by constantly whining about every little thing. You're not even a fan anymore, you just farm engagement by being negative.
Following the current design trend of minimalism does not indicate a misunderstanding of Halo CE.
@Seyd117@LateNightHalo It is complaining. It's just a logo and minimalism has become the norm for the past decade. Using that as an example of why 343 doesn't "understand" Halo is just stirring the pot for the sake of it.
People like @LateNightHalo deserve to be blacklisted.
@WhoopAssStew_ Titanfall was announced in 2013 and Advanced Warfare was announced early-to-mid 2014.
Halo 5's beta released late 2014.
5's movement was long-in-the-making and was an evolution of Reach and 4, which already had the thruster pack.
Can't follow a trend when it just started.
We really need to start calling out more of these "influencers" like Favyn for normalizing toxicity against fans and developers through nostalgia wrapped in pseudo-profound-bullshit.
@Kuuix@FavynTube You can’t innovate forever. Halo Reach and 4 borrowed bits of COD but still had that Halo feel. 5 and Infinite were modernizations of the formula.
You people just want it to be 2007 again.
@FavynTube@MSteak85@Kuuix They closed because MS is trying to save money without firing off the execs, not quality or profits (both of which were strong btw). I guess id Software was unsuccessful since they got gutted as well.
You're the one who's delusional. You're not even a Halo fan, just a whiner.
@MSteak85@Kuuix@FavynTube People like Favyn have no impact on the franchise.
Halo 4, 5, and Infinite were all successful games in some way. Favyn bitches about 5 but that's now a beloved evolution of the formula and Infinite started strong but lost momentum lost because of the engine.
@Kuuix@FavynTube What stray from core identity? Because sprint was added? Armor abilities that Bungie started with Reach? Please, 5 and Infinite were successful modernizations of the classic formula, but the latter was hampered by the engine and MS.
Stop perpetuating disinformation.
@FavynTube Oh good, here’s the guy who thinks erasing 20 years of evolution to cater to his nostalgia will make Halo the biggest game in the world.
News flash, something like 5 and Infinite does resonate. What doesn’t is MS’s greed.
@FavynTube You're a nolifer stuck in 2007. There is no message.
5 launched to $400M. Infinite launched to 20M but lost that not because it had the audacity to adapt to modern times but because the engine was a mess.
These layoffs aren't because of quality but because MS is cutting corners
@FavynTube People like you have done more damage by wrapping nostalgia in pseudo-profound BS to justify hating on anything new.
5 and Infinite (launch) showed Halo still resonates with many people. MS's incompetence is the issue, not keeping up to the times by adding movement tech.
@FavynTube Because people were laid off? The arrogance to assume you people "won" while people lost their livelihoods is insane.
id Software and others have been laid off as well. News flash, any issues 5 and Infinite had were because of MS's incompetence, not because of fucking sprint.
@LookHey@SummonedTarkus@TobiMidnight Notice how Halo was at its peak before Call of Duty 4 popularized sprint and ADS and reached a wider audience because it was multi-platform?
4 and 5 made $300 and 400 million respectively first week. They were successful, get over it.
People like you lack critical thinking.
@Stanley5574420 Anyone who thinks that they were fired because of quality in the first place doesn't know what they're talking about.
id Software got gutted as well and they made three critically acclaimed games in a row.
MS is cutting corners by firing everyone except upper management.
@BStoodios@benoski73 Please, if anything 343 fans are more fans than the people tearing down this franchise for the past 15 years holding on to their glory days
