>Halo Studios has confirmed it will be ending updates for Halo Infinite to focus on the “multiple” titles it has in development
>Halo Infinite was planned to be supported with content updates for 10 years after it launched in 2021
>But it barely lasted 4 years

What was the point in building a giant empty open world for Halo Infinite's campaign? I was waiting for them to add world events or new side stories to flesh out the lore behind zeta halo and explain what the Endless were....instead, all we got was co-op campaign and the ability to replay missions in 2022 (which SHOULD have been available when Infinite launched in 2021...)

>>725280403 (OP)
Fell for it again award

I'm so glad Halo is dying a slow, painfu, public death.

More like Halo Finite

>>725280403 (OP)
Did they finally add split screen co-op campaign like all the other halo games or do I need to keep waiting more?

>>725281184
Why wait for something that will never come?

lmao this series is so dead.

GaaShit needs to die AsaP.
The amount of games that tried the endless gimmick and ded in less than 5 years is fucking pathetic.
Maybe, just MAYBE, release a GOOD game first instead of planning to fleece retards for years before the project has left pre-production?
Batman Gotham Knights
Tranny Suicide
Marvel vs Capcom infinish
Concord

It's all so tiresome... Just give me a decent game and it is successful, make some expansions for it. Stop with this cut content to make DLC later bullshit.

>>725280514
I'm so glad I never fall for this shit

>>725280403 (OP)
Halo Infinite is actually good.
Probably the last good Halo game.
Microsoft/343 seriously underestimated how gaming discussion is now dominated by retarded brown transpeople and failed to appeal to them in any way.

>>725280514
Who exactly fell for it?
Infinite multiplayer wasn't very popular, and thus the updates were a very slow stream of content.

>>725281721
the series has been dead for over 10 years. halo's time in the sun is over and it will never regain its previous popularity under microsoft

>>725281535
They promised that feature, but somehow it wasn't included when the game was launched, not sure why... Shouldn't be hard to implement split screen, every other halo had it

>>725280403 (OP)
those were considered major updates? lol

>>725281930
We've seen plenty of games appealing directly to that "demographic" flop too.

>>725280403 (OP)

what the fuck, that shit is a Halo staple
the next Halo sequel isn't going to have a proper campaign at this rate

Do you work for an out of touch evil corporation or something? Because that statement is the furthest thing from reality.

>>725280403 (OP)
This final update is fucking nothing, too. Just skins.

Halo was never good its just [14 year old muttskins attempt at trying to effectively stir up shit about a time period that occured a decade before he was born in a room full of men who were adults at the time], something something Quake(lost).

The problem with your argument is that brownies love Halo. The only people still playing are Mexicans and Colombians.

>>725280403 (OP)
Should have retconned everything beyond Halo3 as coma-dream of a space-wreaked Master Chief, and begged Bungie to write a script for them.

WHY DIDNT STRIMMER ADVERTISE FOR IT BETTER

it’s funny how these companies blow millions on marketing and then hire nigger and women developers

Like enjoy your L faggots

Halo was never good. It was designed around the limitations of controllers and televisions so it feels extremely primitive on PC.

>>725282863
>Just skins.
To add insult to injury, it seems like the skins are Halo 5 armor bundles.

>>725284303
No, those are already in the game. Most of the stuff being added/sold has been in the files for over a year, some of it since launch.

Someone post that pic of a bunch of headlines of "343 learned from their mistakes, THIS time it will be good!"

>>725280403 (OP)

>>725283795
>Bungie
Everyone with talent left Bungie too and unsurprisingly it was because they were satisfied with Halo as a series ending but Microsoft wanted to keep milking the franchise
They need to drop the Chief and do some side stories or something for a game. Reach and ODST both show there's love for them (even if they weren't exceptionally received in their day)
You're never ever going to please "old halo" fans who are stuck in the past of jerking it to Halo 1 and 2 (despite 2 ALSO being shit on at the time because of the Arbiter levels, cliffhanger ending and its general ugliness)
There could've easily been potential for good side games with 4 and 5's plots if they skipped some stuff. Halo 4, a UNSC patrol ship of spartan IIIs crashes on a world full of covenant aligned aliens and have to fight their way off immediately following the end of the war. Halo 5, a squad based shooter set a few years after 3 about pushing a human advantage. Cut the Didact, cut the hunting the chief shit, cut the Endless and keep the Flood. The Banished were cool, Jerome was cool

>>725280514
gaylo fags have a battered wife syndrome, they keep falling for it and will fall for the demake slop too

They need to branch out a little bit with small games
A Halo Vampire Survivors like would be good if it's as popular as DRGS
They could also make a platformer like Shadow Complex

>>725281989
It has split screen but it was locked behind mods
Then they saw people having fun and removed it

Did it even get any major updates? I literally haven't heard anything about it since it came out and the Brute monkey meme template finally died.

So just like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and them making a proper career mode to re-release as "Microsoft Flight Simulator 202*4*"?

Never fucking trust MS and their "Ten year plans." Remember "Windows 10 is the last verison of Windows?" Yeahhhhhhhh... about that...

>Xbox cancels something
>Xbox continues to be a death spiral of a console brand
MANY. SUCH. CASES. Place your bets if Fable reboot joins the dead IP Microsoft clique. It's been in development for 7 years and we haven't had one single uninterrupted 30 minutes of gameplay. Not once, I repeat despite it's 2 back to back delays. This is how Perfect Dark Jeanne Dark reboot was killed off.

Halo Infinite's life cycle had a planned DLC story campaign, cancelled. Then the multiplayer stuff went on hiatus I think? They just stopped making new content after the first/second season. Now they officially announced end of service, no more roadmap and it'll be sunset. Uh...based!? Microsoft sure got buckbroken by the consumer rejecting their always online, no game ownership, Xbox console full of ads, no exclusives, no physical game support, etc etc. What a shame for this toxic brand to just be fucked completely.

Oh no no no hahahahahahahahaha.

>>725287595
343 tried to get rid of Chief with 4 and 5. Locke was poorly received.

The thing is: Halo as an I.P. has been donezo since 2007. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare curbstomped the arena shooter genre. There is NO reason to continue to make Halo titles. NONE.

MS only did it because it was the ONLY thing from the original X-box that survived the winnowing of their I.P. catalog (remember Project Gotham Racing, Phantom Dust?) Technically Forza Motorsport did, but given they just laid off half of Turn 10 to make them a Forza HORIZON support studio for Playground games... can you really say it survived? Especially since Motorsport only took off with *2* on the 360?. Halo was the I.P. that put the X-box 180 on the map. But everything post-360 (720, 1080 S/X) has been dogshit.

So much for that 10 year plan of support.

>>725288974
Fable either is cancelled next year or it bombs hardcore. Fable hasn't been extremely popular. And thinking on it: >>725289256 it survived the Winnowing of their I.P.'s but Lionhead wasn't MS during Fable 1-3, so it really wasn't their I.P. until they bought Lionhead (and folded them into MS Game Studios).

Playground is lucky that Forza "In case of Emergency; Break Weeb" Horizon 6 is happening though, so they'll survive since weebs (hi!) are going to buy that. But Horizon 7 in 6-8 years is going to be the true test for them as a studio-keep-alive.

>>725288974
>Place your bets if Fable reboot joins the dead IP Microsoft clique.
I genuinely forgot it was even a thing.

>>725289256
>343 tried to get rid of Chief with 4 and 5. Locke was poorly received.
You literally only play Chief in 4, and 5's plot was centered around him and Cortana
But they can't write Chief, so their games suck. And when their games suck, they abandon them in hopes you'll read the books which you won't because who the fuck is reading a halo book these days
Multiple companies DID successfully get rid of Chief for a game, Bungie with Rookie and Six and Ensemble with Jerome and the others in Red Team. Halo can work without the Chief but it can't work without decent writers

>>725280403 (OP)
Microsoft doesn't know how to make video games.

>>725280403 (OP)
The multiplayer wasn't bad, had some nice elements from Titanfall. The problem is that Halo is incredibly bland compared to everything else on the PC, unless you're an Xbox fan who's just faithful to the IP

There's a reason only low effort gachaslop does that sort of thing. It's feasible for a game that only has to push out a new PNG to refight the same old models in a new event every other week, not whatever Infinite was trying to do.
Anyway, >Halo past 3

>>725289528
>You literally only play Chief in 4, and 5's plot was centered around him and Cortana
Right, but Locke was introduced as a "hunt down the Master Chief" character. They tried to off-ramp the Chief but fans didn't want that.

> Multiple companies DID successfully get rid of Chief for a game
Halo Wars (Enamble) and Bungie (ODST, and Reach [in a fashion, though Noble is proto-Chief and Chief features in for like five minutes towards the end]), but that's about it.

This goes back to:

>Fans don't really want games without the Chief

Like, you're right: Nobody reads the books, but game wise their side-stuff is pretty poorly recieved. ODST got some backlash (due to no multiplayer IIRC, but also no Chief), but has gotten a warmer reception as time goes on and nobody really played Wars beyond RTS folks.

You're right that 343 had/has shit writers though. Frankie "Bisexual Jannie" O'Connor should've shitcanned the TV show when Chief sex-in-front-of-his-AI-girlfriend happened, but didn't because he's a racist sexist shitbag that couldn't stop shitposting on NeoGAF and NeoGAF 2.0.

>>725280826
underrated

>>725280403 (OP)
It's a shame, because I'd genuinely go to bat and say that Infinite is arguably the best multiplayer experience in the series. The weapon sandbox feels great, there's a shitton of content, basically every map has been ported over, custom gamemodes are more creative than ever thanks to scripting tools, etc. etc. There's additions I'd like to see, like more weapons and vehicles from previous games, but I wouldn't say the game is hurt by their omission, just that it'd be even more fun to have them.

I get that people were disappointed by that shit first year, but as someone who waited until later and is able to be a bit more objective, I'd say there's no reason to hate the actual multiplayer experience in Infinite as is in the game as of the past couple years.

>>725289876
>shelve it before 5 years
I don't think 343 ever really believed or intended to keep it up for longer, it was basically a marketing ploy and a grift by investors and shareholders in order to entice retarded consoomers.

>>725288512
>A Halo Vampire Survivors like would be good

Do any of you know if the Fable reboot project is supposed to be a female main character only? I thought Fable had male and female avatars, typically siblings story wise. We have not seen even the character creation aspect of Fable reboot. 7 years in development FYI.

>>725289876
it's actually not even 4 years yet. it will be in 7 days

>>725289578
None. Frankie "Bisexual Jannie" was fired, along with Bonnie "Hoover Dam" Ross. Both of them were there for way longer than they should've been after how poorly received Halo 4, 5, the TV show, Wars 2 (though this one less so from RTS fans), and the TV show were.

>>725290061
kek

>>725290061
>343 Industries even gave them the approval.
Did they? Seeing how it's free-to-play, it seems more like it's following the Game Content Usage Rules. Xbox has a blanket fangame license that lets you use any video game brand that Microsoft owns to make your own thing, as long as it's not porn, not full of hate speech, is fully non-commercial, and doesn't pretend that it's an official game.

>>725290028
Yeah
The first year killed it, and it never recovered. If it got some massive content patch in the form of DLC or something it could've been revived. Small drip fed content doesn't attract new/returning players, it just keeps what few active ones are on around.
If it got a major single player expansion or just big content patches in general (think Cyberpunk or even Helldivers) I think it could've kept going. Because I do agree with you, infinite was fun on release.

>>725289876
>because you can't keep up with how ridiculous it is to actually manage that
They didn't need to. The problem is their seasons outright sucked becuase it was like:
>1-2 new maps (1 for BTB, the most popular mode)
>100+ different shitty armor parts that wouldn't match their cat ears paid-for stuff
It really should've been:

>2-4 new maps (not relying on Forge/the community for this)
>10 new parts for free
But people would've bitched because they needed to be SUPER SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE SPARTANS instead of just the base Chief/Elite that Halo 2-3 did (with 3's 10-15 parts for each model)

Like they tried the season Halo 1-4 in the MCC collection and while there was some bitching about it (in a "WTF? You don't need to do this"), it wasn't completely awful because they eventually dropped it and for the most part the season was "just grind 6 missions for 4 hours each week and be done." There isn't anything necessarily *wrong* with the season pass model, it's just they don't really NEED to do it.

>>725290061
I guess that's nice but this looks like shit with all due respect.

Was the Halo Amazon series a humiliation ritual? Or was it Halo Infinite?

>>725290028
>basically every map has been ported over,
/Le/Halo said Avalanche wasn't ported but 343 started work on it before this announcement...?

>>725290291
343 really should've ported 5 to PC, especially since there is a Universal Windows Program/Application (UWP/UWA) for 5's multiplayer in the MS store already so half the work on the engine for a PC port is done.

It would've helped them sell the campaign to PC players.

>>725290231
>Did they?
Yes? You're talking about stuff like Machinma. This is them releasing a game with I.P. assets.

>>725290121
We don't really know ANYTHING about Playground's Fable beyond what was shown in the trailers. It's probably why MS is scrambling to have them do the Weeb Horizon (which like Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed is their "in case of Emergency; break weeb" hail-Mary). They have shown NOTHING besides CGI trailers. NO GAMEPLAY. NO SPECIFICS. **NOTHING.**

>>725290291
I think if Season 5 had a few more maps, that'd probably have been the turning point. Firefight was the last big ask for gameplay modes, and it was coming alongside some big QoL changes and the addition of AI Enemies in Forge. While Infinite was already shoring things up and in order before this point, Season 5 was a big moment to say "hey we got everything, we got some new maps too, and here's a look into the future of what everyone's gonna be able to create for Infinite going forward."

Instead, it was more of a just a standard feeling update, and if anything, got overshadowed by the overpriced Mark V armor

>>725290942
>Yes? You're talking about stuff like Machinma
No. The Game Content Usage Rules extends to fangames as well, and actually: if you check the page, it's confirmed at the bottom. Shows what you know, bucky boy.

>>725280403 (OP)
More like Halo Finite

>>725290931
You mean Paramount. The TV show was Paramount and yes that was the humiliation ritual.

Infinite stumbled becuase they went on vacation when Big Team Battle was fucking broken at launch for like 3 months. It never recovered.

>>725280826
I'll never understand them chasing that destiny 2 live service model. The Destiny saga has been a unmitigated nightmare. Just make a singleplayer game and a multiplayer component and support it was long as you can or until the next game comes out.

>>725291241
Reminds me of the time a lead developer responded to a game being down with "sorry I was too busy watching Russia's war in Ukraine and worrying about my children"
Motherfucker you live the the fucking USA, I get wanting to keep up with events but you still have a job

Curious

I know another anon said that people don't want characters that aren't Master Chief (and it does make sense) but when I was playing through Combat Evolved in the MCC I noticed in the cryo chamber that Chief was stored in featured another empty slot with a panel that looked like it had a Spartan scan of some kind labeled, "Linda."
I don't know much about Halo lore other than the games I've played (up to 4), but I always wonder who Linda is and if maybe a reboot or continuation of the series featuring her would be interesting (or not, it'd probably still be horrible).

>>725280826
Hehe

>>725292147
Linda was another Spartan II, there's a few around but not many. Iirc she was one of/the only other living member of his team.
The mainline games made the Chief out to be the only one but he was just the most important one
Other spartan teams were around elsewhere during the war trying to make humanity live a little bit longer

>>725292147
Linda has been a popular what-if character for custom content and what not for a while. I've always wondered if the original intent was her to be the co-op character, and they just didn't have enough time to edit the cutscenes and such to include her.
>if maybe a reboot or continuation of the series featuring her
She's in Halo 5

>>725290942
>We don't really know ANYTHING about Playground's Fable beyond what was shown in the trailers.

The sales pitch sounds exactly like what it was, we want Microsoft's version of Sony's Horizon Zero Dawn.

Halo Reach was 15 years ago....

>>725281979
What are you on about my guy? Outside of your hate boards, us Halo fans loved this game.

>>725280403 (OP)
KEK.

>>725292147
The reference to her was added in CEA, because Fall of Reach retroactively placed her aboard the Pillar of Autumn in critical comatose condition until she was recovered in other stories. They saw the identical cryobay with reusing the Chief suit asset on the same monitor across the hall and just decided "fuck it lets go". Linda's part of Blue Team, Chief's personal squad of buddies, and the premiere survivors of the Human-Covenant War though there are a few other SPARTAN-IIs around.

>>725292642
Reach was the last good Halo game , however the only good thing about H4 was Cortana tho.

to this honestly. the sirens are blaring. they can't even do a nostalgia cash grab right. one job.

You should have seen this coming last year when they announced they were shifting to UE5. They might as well, Halo's multiplayer is dead, it was time to move on.

>>725281184
Yeah, it's in Halo Campaign Evolved where you'll be able to play the remake in two-player split screen.

But that is true to the original version

Halo died when COD beat it.

False advertising. It was supposed to go on forever like windows 10.

The next Halo game is a campaign-only game with 2-player split screen co-op and crossplay 4-player online co-op.

>>725283819
This, that's why they have to remake it

>>725281979
I see tons of people who fell for it on Reddit. There’s one called like “shit halo says” and it’s just people pretending they aren’t seething about people making videos calling halo soulless and shit in 2025. They’re probably devastated by this. As it gives the people they built their subreddit around more ammo for them to seethe over.

I just recognize it for what it is, a soulless UE5 remake of a remake of a re-release

I only played this because of goypass and even then it was the story mode. I still don’t understand why the fuck they thought halo needed to be open world.

>>725289256
As it currently stands, the Master Chief is the only thing holding this franchise up, if they ever get rid of him, Microsoft definitely close the book on Halo forever.

>>725289528
Not anymore, Microsoft won't put any money into non-Chief Halo games now, that's how bad it's gotten, no Chief and Microsoft will kill Halo, permanently.

>>725293859

Imagine how big Halo would be if they never abandoned the PC platform.

>>725294252
>I still don’t understand why the fuck they thought halo needed to be open world
Because a lot of Halo's best and fan favorite levels are the more open ended ones where you drive and fly across grand vistas and beaches and through canyons and caves to faraway landmarks and between different areas

>>725292446
>>725292561
>>725292868
Neat. So there was basically all that was needed from the get go to continue Spartan stories after Master Chief. What was her role in Halo 5? I haven't played that one.

>>725294564

Buddy, you being all upsetti spaghetti about being called out as a poser and getting btfo by the simple truth is not my problem, it's just the natural result of reality. Also, no, it wouldn't, cuz newsflash pal: Halo CE is not Halo 2, you big dummy. Learn your numbers before you come at me.

>>725294564
>What was her role in Halo 5? I haven't played that one.
A member of Blue Team reformed alongside Fred, Kelly, and John (Chief). Criminally underutilized, they're basically Chief's support tether as comrades that grew up together, rather than actual unique roles in the story. Even Fireteam Osiris does more with its individual members in that game, though H5's campaign blows chunks.

>>725287595
Bros just over here completely rewriting history

Nigger what the fuck are you talking about with 2, ODST, and Reach not being appreciated in their own time?

Are you fucking retarded? Like, genuinely?

Agree with your ideas on spinoffs tho

>>725280826
Carlos!

>>725295273
>ODST and Reach
Both received heavy criticism, the former from being a no multiplayer game where you were basically a tankier spartan despite not being one except enemies. Admittedly it was a side project second studio thing so people just went back to 3 for multiplayer
Reach had the introduction of stuff like armor lock, the dmr and overall MLG craze shit, classes, etc.
And there was tons of people complaining they had to play as Arby in 2, along with the shit lighting due to console limitations not allowing bungie to use the lighting system they wanted while being on too tight of a deadline to rework the maps
For what its worth, I loved ODST and Reach and still play them now. But they absolutely got shit from the IT'S NOT REEEAAALLLL HALO crowd

>>725294912
the expected fucking featureset of a proper Halo game grew with each release, shill-kun. the fact that Halo 1 was barebones compared to its sequels has zero relevance fucking 25 years after the fact. Halo 2 already had 3 or 4 player split screen. to even consider a split screen mode limited to only 2 players is damning. it's another instance of 343's reluctant compliance, always doing the absolute minimum they think they can get away with.

which features the original fucking game had 25 years ago DOES NOT MATTER. what matters are the expectations of franchise fans who have played all or most Halo games. that's the audience. that's whom 343 should be trying to please. but they don't because their whole company culture is about stubbornly refusing to do what is expected of them for 15 years now.

>>725280826
fpbp

>>725295273
He's right, they're the reason Microsoft currently no longer want non-Master Chief Halo games, they notice they only click to a small number of people. Campaign Evolved was also not an oversight as Microsoft is now questioning whether they should bother with Halo multiplayer anymore. The multiplayer-only Halo game is going to be a litmus test on whether or not Microsoft keeps Halo multiplayer or finally ends it completely turning Halo into a fully singleplayer-only Master Chief game, going forward.

>>725296171
Furd Post Best Post?

>>725294891
the old maps are basically reskins of the originals so definitely not designed for sprint. I think you can already tell that sprint isn't very fast any way. it looks like a repeat of Infinite where sprint is a cosmetic features to please the ADHD retards. they get therapeutic Chief waving his arms around and anime fucking speed lines for holding down a button like the gullible retard shitters they are, and 343 get to feel smug for defying the will of the core as per usual.

the new maps could be designed for it but what would that mean any way? with a difference in speed of like 10% the resulting difference in map geometry would also be like 10% which you wouldn't even notice visually. it's a silly concept.

>Halo Infinite is actually good.
Maybe its the best of the original (non-remake/remastered) Halo games. I played a bit of it and it did seem like a return to form in a big way although it still definitely had its problems as far as I am concerned.

For one the game has aim down sights no matter what people want to think. I do not care about their manipulation. That shit is ADS not the zoom of the previous games. Halo should never have ADS it should have weapon zoom. Meaning you click the right stick in and if you get shot you instantly come out of your zoom. The game also got rid of assassinations and made melee attacks right stick click? What the fucking hell is that COD shit in my Halo? GTFO that is garbage. Then it also had click left stick for sprinting. Another garbage decision in regards to its controls. Besides this it did seem like it played the most like a proper Halo then what we have been seeing in years. It still did not go far enough though.

Maybe next time they will finally remove sprint, put proper weapon zoom back in, and proper melee with the assassinations back in.

>WE CAN DO BETTER

>>725294005
That's a remaster tho, it's easy to get those right.
It's the sequels that they have serious trouble with.

>>725297812
It's a remake, a new game using an old story, they're using this game to learn how to make a Halo "7" since it was clear with Halo 4, 5, and Infinite that they didn't know how to make a Halo game at all.

>>725296994
You get unscoped/unzoomed on damage in Infinite with the smart scope, though. And it doesn't actually affect accuracy much anyway, it's almost as arbitrary as the sprint system that borders on pointless itself.

>>725296505

They're called *anime* speed lines for a reason

Glad to hear you're looking forward to Sprint then, lmao

That's why you let your games to be moddable.

>>725293609
>and it features sprint
dead on arrival
look, watch, everyone will say it doesn't matter

>>725299425
There's mods on the MCC workshop, y'know. Only problem is that they don't get their own playlists/matchmaking for obvious reasons, so playing mods requires setups with friends and groups.

>>725299972
It doesn't matter given it's going to be on PC, PS5, and eventually, the Switch 2. It's an Xbot issue and not even they cared, so in reality, it's just a niche Halofag issue.

>>725280826
lol gotem

>>725299305
sprint is not a feature in the same sense as split screen, it's a change to the game design. try harder, 343 shill.

>>725300732
>he thinks appealing to a wider audience is the answer
where have you been for the last 15 years?

>>725294464
Really funny how they expect you to sit there and pretend this is normal behavior

>>725303038
probably at 343, pretending to make Halo games.

>>725299425
I mean, you're obviously not aware of how extensive the Forge is for Halo Infinite.

So....who's steering the ship?
Sonic at least has Iizuka

>>725280403 (OP)
There was never a 10-year plan; it came from one guy, and he left afterward in late development.

>>725298828
>You get unscoped/unzoomed on damage in Infinite with the smart scope, though.
Do you? Maybe I don't remember. But didn't they tie it to the left trigger to zoom? That is the problem with the game for me. They sure as hell made it control as if its a modern shooter rather than embrace what Halo used to be. The biggest issue is forever going to be sprinting though. I can't see a scenario where they ever outright remove it for a game at this point because its perceived as too important for a shooter to have. I just hate the implementation of all these mechanics the most. It goes a long way in making Halo feel like every other generic slop when it should feel more like Halo.

>>725304760
incoherent screeching, nice self-parody.
>IT'LL CHANGE THE GAME DESIGN (even though it's already confirmed not to
adding sprint IS a change in game design. it doesn't change the game design, it IS the change. there is nothing to "confirm". what a retarded shill thing to say.

>can be toggled off
functionally equivalent to "just don't use it". dishonest shill cope.

>you're not adding the ability to play with twice the supported amount of players
it's forbidden because it's illegal vibes. what the fuck does that mean, the number of supported players? 343 can increase that number at will. unless you want to admit that UE5 is a shit choice of engine and would buckle under the weight of more cameras while the old Halo engine had zero problems with it.

>CHANGE THE GAME DESIGN FOR ME SO IT'LL BE EASI
self-reporting that you truly didn't understand the distinction I already pointed out. an optional split screen mode is not a change in game design. the regular singleplayer gameplay is not affected by it whatsoever, unlike if you add sprint*.
we can note that you don't have any friends irl though. sorry to hear it.

*which by the way is a very minor change, almost cosmetic in Infinite, but it shows developer intent. it shows they don't care about the original game. it shows they aren't game designers, just a feature factory. it shows that nothing at 343 has changed in 15 years.

>>725306336
Again, holy melty lmao. Screech harder. Also
>what the fuck does that mean, the number of supported players
Don't talk about game design in my presence again you ignoramus.

>>725306336
sadly the gaylo studios lead is one of the people that pushed hard for including 'our halo' features like sprint and slide in shitfinite

Halo has no choice, its audience were never gamers, it was only a matter of time. Bungie/343 Halo doesn't appeal to people who played games before Halo, people who played games after Halo, and people who didn't play on Xbox during Halo's era. Halo only has a small cult that can't really save it. The biggest embarrassment are these cults comparing Halo to Star Wars when that actually has a universe while Halo barely has any form of universe expansion either from Bungie or 343. I'll given Bungie credit because their universe was only meant to last one/two/three games and they DID add new aliens in Halo 2, ODST, and Reach while adding new Sentinels in 2, and new Flood forms in 3. What has 343 done, nothing for a studio that claimed they wanted to make Halo their Star Wars, I'm sure as hell not seeing it.
>when's the UNSC making energy-based weapons and anti-gravity vehicles standardize along with having more futuristic armor not trying to larp as the US military
>when will the Covenant/Banished get new aliens both cut and never-before-seen in their ranks
>why did it take until Halo Infinite before 343 actually started thinking about this stuff including finally expanding on Sentinels
>why are new hunter forms locked in expanded lore and spin-offs
>where are the mechs
>why are new Flood forms locked in spin-offs and expanded lore
>why not even fully introduce the Endless and Precursors
>why haven't anything humanity's Ancestors (Ancient Humans) shown up in the mainline games yet
>where are the many different and unique aliens and wildlife in the Halo universe
What the fuck is Halo Studios even doing with this damn series. I feel like the universe barely expanded. No more living Forerunners, no Offensive Bias, no Mendicant Bias. What are they doing?

It didn't even functioning physics until two years after launch.
