The general Halo community is so toxic these days. Has it always been this much hatred towards the Devs? I love playing the game and recognize there are issues but damn...
When you destroy something and have released 2 games in 10+ years that will take away fans good will. MCC was one of the most broken games I have ever seen. It went beyond 343 even, the xbox platform was broken for party chat, the matchmaking systems borked, the netcode failed, game crashed, UI bugged, players dropped out, games and xboxes had to be restarted for it to only happen again and again and again. I know, we tried to play it for years. I tried engaging for years with the forum support, twitter, was even a moderator at Halo Waypoint, gave them every opportunity as well as repeatedly organised Aussie parties to trial the latest patches in the hope we'd get some stable Halo.
I don't attack a specific person but the development company is hands down one of the worst quality assurance game releasing studios in the history of Xbox. This isn't toxic, nor is it personal, it is cold hard fact. MCC deserved ET levels of being buried in the desert. It has since been resurrected only for Infinite to walk an all too similar path after having 6 years of development behind closed doors. The company and management deserve to be called out when you know what Halo is capable of vs what we received for MCC and Infinite. Would you like to talk about the TV show coming from over a decade of movies teasing and mini-shows and how that was handled by 343 for the resulting show actually produced and released recently?
Tell me you're happy with Halo in its current state across the board e.g. games, show, books, merch etc? Now stop kidding yourself and admit it is in the shitter. There far are more foul balls than home runs.
