Halo ODST has police sirens removed by 343i

what the fuck is going on with this ip. priorities are all wrong man.

It's almost like 343 industries is made up of actual REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE posters who are both ignorant on how to make a competent video game AND are overly concerned with politics.


Bad combination.
 


An embarrassment.
Devoid of talent.
Close the studio.
 
I don't really give a fuck about Sirens being removed its more the precedent being set by these game companies. I wonder if Naughty Dog is gonna take the cop cars out of LOU2 cause there was a fuck load of them there and every time I saw one I got really angry to my core. Absolutely fucking livid I was.
 
I am sick of companies supporting domestic terror groups by changing games for woke advertisement.
Keep that political trash out of games!

LOL I fully admit I didn't read the entire post. Now that I have ... well, read more of it, I see that someone has made the amazingly profound(ly stupid) commentary on "snowflakes." Any time someone calls someone else a snowflake in one of these situations, it's typically done in a way that completely misses the fact that they are themselves, regardless of their intent, crying about a videogame.

Crystallized water, drifting gently down from the sky...

Pandering to the SJWs, unfortunately, because they are the ones that screech the loudest at this stage in time.

I get why they did it tbh, they are a business and less people will be offended at the lack of something than the inclusion of something. Don't hate the player, hate the game. This is what this outrage and cancel culture has done to the business world.
 
It just shows the complete echochamber everyone in the media lives in.

The fact that the overwhelming majority of people, whenever they're polled, want more police and harsher punishment for criminals doesn't matter, because the tiny minority of loudly shrieking far leftists on twitter and rioting in cities hate cops, so therefore all the media also hate cops.

It's fucking disgusting.
 
Usual shit. Company takes offence at something only 5% of the internet care about. They 'protect' all their consumers from irrelevant and embellished political culture. Await retweets and likes. Let the sheep come to their defence because as Trump and Johnson like to say 'we're all in this together'.

So fucking blind and stupid.

It's not even 5%, it's undoubtedly a percent of a percent...
 
I still don't exactly get this actual push. Police involved in detaining man on drugs resisting arrest after being caught passing counterfeit currency...(Ive seen the bodycam footage).
Man has a bad heart and is middle aged. Man dies - unintentionally. The policeman himself, or policemen, are responsible for any use of excessive force here. NOT the rest of
the worlds police officers. You are more likely to be killed by your own parents in the USA than by a police officer. Unarmed black death by police in the USA is like 10-20 a year or something.
400+ Children are killed by their own parents each year here. And yet.... police you see... the great Satan. I believe 0 would be the right number for both of those statistics.

Entire world burns and hates all police which are like a million people in the US if you include all manner of officers, sheriffs, deputies, etc.

The man should be accountable, and is but why is the very idea of police in question here? Ok this is the wrong place to ask this question and I am not exactly
expecting discourse just venting - But what the hell is with this leaking into VIDEO GAMES and everything else? What the HELL humanity?
 
Probably fair to say Halo is a lost cause at this point

Yeah and that's the real story here. 343 has not earned ANY good will from the community. I'm not a Halo fan so I don't speak from experience, but I read and watched a lot of stuff from the fans and the dissatisfaction is pretty much unanimous. They turned the premier FPS in the world into a laughing stock and even had the nerve to actually name that process. Any other company does this and it's probably a non-story. For 343, it's just another nail in the coffin.

Like Halo 4 was honestly a good first try, it wasn't without some issues but overall it was solid. After that though? Everything has been a mess, literally 8 years of problems.
 
Lol. Sounds pretty silly but I guess I can't be surprised. When you "diversity" only includes White women (and a few Asian women) this is the POC representation you get. Assumptions that this is beneficial to anyone.

These people are incredibly fragile. Perhaps it would be a huge benefit for the company to hire some Black People so at the very least these Whites could actually know one or two of them. And who knows, having Black People in your ranks might have a positive effect on your product like many of the other successful products in everyone's house right now. Including entertainment... which Video Games certainly is.

Why doesn't 343 and other companies hire many Black People? Your guess is as good as mine.


Honestly gaming is worse for having Development Teams filled with these fragile White people. You see the same result with Gaming Journalism too.

Gaming is worse because companies like Microsoft diversity hire talent over just hiring raw talent with the proper goals in mind. None of this is saying that these people are not talented, because for what they create it requires it. These people know what they're doing, however that doesn't mean it's the right kind of talent to execute on the specific goal of making a good game.

I'm sure every single one of those women in that room have development capabilities beyond my levels of comprehension, but that doesn't mean they're right for the project.
 
At least there's that one hot Asian chick slightly left of centre.

You glance in her direction for half a second and you would be done.

Rape, sexual assault, tracked down and fired, kids thrown out of school, etc etc.

the world we live in now. don't accidentally rub shoulders lol..

Have have no doubt they are talented game developers.

However these groups are also trying to stand for issues that they clearly don't have the necessary representation in order to understand the issue.

Hard at work I see.
 
Ya know how I know they are all liberal sjw's?

I'm sure plenty of them are reasonable people with critical thinking skills who have to keep their mouth shut when the retarded ones open their spew-holes to fire out some liquid social justice. Those poor stealthy non-politards, I salute them.
