@WillOfTheWraith@Slonk01 They haven't even released anything yet. This is the best I'm feeling for Halo since 2012. Uncharted territory, there is a lot of possibility. Yes it could go tits up, but they also might snatch halo from the jaws of extinction.
I did not have "An Indian-American woman being the Queen of the Chuds" on my 2026 bingo card. That's the last prediction I would have ever made.
But here we are 🥳
Go read the terminals. Nowhere in there does it call Forerunners: aliens or a separate species. The only thing that would imply that is the librarian's discovery of earth. But even then, the librarian refers to earth as "Eden". Which implies that Earth is their (forerunner) origin. It's why she's so fascinated with the planet and it's beings. While the terminals themselves may muddy up the human forerunner connection, they don't out right contradict it.
Bungie fans took 15 years of ridicule for liking old Halo and have always been here for the franchise. The second 343 fans stop getting catered to, they fold, cry foul, and head for the exit.
Don't let the blast doors hit your ass on the way out.
@KOYAANISQATSI56@charlieINTEL Activision isn't my first pick but they can't do worse than what 343i has already done to the franchise.
343 had halo for twice the time as Bungie and made less original games. They ran halo into the ground. It's time someone else takes over.
If I were Activision and I wanted to test the waters with Halo I'd do an ODST game in the COD engine made by the team who made Infinite Warfare. Keep it to boots on the ground stakes during a part of the Covenant war. No mentions of 343 retcons.
Remember do not feel sorry of Halo Studios/343 these are the same fucktards that killed The Rookie the greatest non A.I analytical mind in the Halo universe in a shitty book just to piss off fans. They knew fans liked him.
They hated Halo they deserved to lose their jobs.
