They need to give us a release date, a look at MP... anything... it’s a shit time to be a Halo fan.
Most of the studios out there could have done MCC and maybe a proper MCC at launch...I think they deserved a chance. Halo 5 MP is absolutely sublime, and that's the meat and potatoes.
MCC is a stellar collection, and packaged well. OK, the MP matchmaking was broken for a long time (I remember horrendous 20 minute waits for a 5 minute game of slayer), but is in a great place now (save for lack of regional server selection, but that's coming).
So yeah, they proved they could do MP, they weren't scared to try new things to mix it up. Well worth a shot on Infinite. I'll reserve overall judgement until I see the final game.
343 management ultimately reports to MS management though. MS not realising what a turd the game was looking before the backlash speaks volumes
rm -rf *del*.*
The 500 million was a debunked rumor.You had FIVE years and half a billion dollars in budget and you gave us Craig
This is a good thing for MS, 343 needs a good management shake up after that mess of a trailer.
Phil's head is the one that needs to start rolling if I am being honest.
EDIT: To elaborate, he's been churning out promises and more promises for years. I fail to see anything noteworthy that he's done in his tenure so far (the Bethesda deal if we can attribute him that, but going by their mismanagement of several studios and IP's in the past and present time... we need to wait and see what comes out of that acquisition and how it all pans out.).

I wonder what's for dinnerGee, I wonder what kind of person will replace him...
lol. I am all for diversity, but I cringe at how 343i promotes diversity hires while producing some of the most mediocre games ever.Halo would be a much better game if it was designed by a bunch of frat bros from college rather than the....forced hires they currently have
No.Bring back J Allard.
Lmao at the idiots blaming Phil.
Coming from one of the biggest Halo fans you'll ever meet (I still consider Halo CE to be one of the greatest games ever made, only second to Ocarina of Time), 343i is a complete joke. I bought into their bullshit back when Halo 4 launched, and even then I couldn't look passed how awful the game was. I tried to give them another chance with Halo 5, which turned out to be easily the worst Halo game ever made. And now sitting here, completely uninterested and dispassionate about Infinite all together, something is obviously wrong. 343i needs to be shut down immediately, Infinite cancelled, and the franchise handed off to a far more talented team. Halo deserves better this.
Dude. The multiplayer is FREE. They need to make money somehowand they are going to charge money for the colour purple on your gun. this game is going to bomb so fucking hard
Shut the fuck up, why are you crying about bethesda in a thread about Halo?
Give Halo to Id Tech.
I guess they should.Microsoft should hire Neil Druckmann... just saying it!
I guess they should.
Halo Infinite is surely a turd but if anyone can polish it and make it marketable is Neil. lol
They seem to be on the same page regarding woke shit.

Gaylodo it!
How about overseeing the creation of Game Pass which could potentially earn MS ridiculous amounts of cash, and convinced Nadella that buying more studios will be worth it? Or buying Minecraft which I believe has already more than paid for itself. Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon, Master Chief Collection, Ori? He was put in a difficult position as Microsoft almost seemed to have put the whole Xbox project on hold when he came in but he's set Xbox up for a very promising future with Fable, Hellblade, Avowed etc.Phil's head is the one that needs to start rolling if I am being honest.

Yeah, it’s been obvious this game has had a very rough development for a long time now. Wouldn’t be surprised if this game is delayed for numerous more years or perhaps even completely repurposed.
