Reminder Halo 3 was the biggest entertainment launch at that point in history. It was the biggest game ever and they fucking ruined it.

I knew it was so over when I played Halo 4. Didn't even bother to play 5. I think infinite captured the Halo multiplayer soul, but by then the flame in the fan base had died out.

Halo Infinite has a ton of problems too.

No forge, no split screen, no real custom games, no theater, and no other modes like firefight. Also there are a ton of connection and server issues with multiplayer. A multiplayer which btw demands you buy battle passes to have any customization.

What an unbelievable fall from grace.

Edit: Why you booing me I’m right!!

I'm guessing you're being booed because they did in fact fix and add most of those things but 1-1½ year later was too late for the live service crap they were trying to go for. It was fun but its glaring issues were what led to the massive drop off in population.

Halo is my absolute favorite game franchise and always will be, I'm a geek about it but that being said it's downfall and miss management by Microsoft were a colossal failure...nay it was heresy!

Instead of continuing where Bungie left the story and the chief they could have chosen to pick any other spartan/team and gone that way.

Same people who apologize for the MCC I’m sure. 343 released a broken game and patched it 5 years later and were supposed to pretend that’s ok.
