If MS is smart they shut down 343, its wild that they got 3 chances and all 3 games were terrible insults to the franchise yet they dont get shut down.

 

[kiphalfton]

What product?

 

[EverydayBeast]

You forgot to mention Halo Reach, arguably the best Halo game.

Yeah Reach how did I not remember that. So 343 had a chance to make good halo games, look at the Coalition with Gears of War nobody worries about bad Gears of War games. Call of Duty I think has 3 + developers making games.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Basically the only studio that works nicely at Xbox is Playground Games right?

 

[Jesb]

This is hilarious. It wasn't long ago that they made a big deal about going to unreal 5 for the next game, there was a positive vibe around that like the series would get back on track. Not so much I guess, eh…

 

[MayauMiao]

Too late:

 

[iHaunter]

id making a Halo game….i think i just nutted.

After recent DOOM game you may want to rethink that.

 

[Justin9mm]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.. Xbox generally has no idea how to make good games, they just don't. Lack of exclusives is what has basically killed them. How they couldn't see this like 10+ years ago is astounding.

Phil Spencer is a shit CEO!

 

[Panajev2001a]

Not always, first 3 were really great. After that everything was mid at best.

Ahem… ODST and Reach also kicked ass! ODST's urban warfare approach was quite incredible and they pulled a rabbit out of a hat with super compressed timelines.

 

[Panajev2001a]

It'll never get to the level it should be because 343 studios are a pile of shit that lack talent and creativity. They have destroyed halo and its lore, and have shit on the story of master chief repeatedly with each new game they release. They're talentless hacks.

I still seriously doubts QA cuts and rotating armies of medium to short terms of contractors helped there mate… the MS way…

 

[Thebonehead]

Oh Xbox. Making it very hard for anyone with an ounce of love for the platform to not come around to how much of a shit show this has been

Im sorry Gaf for being far too lenient on this shitty company.

Whole division needs a complete clear out of upper management and let someone else have a go.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Successful live service game.

 

[phant0m]

They should rename the studio 404

404 (not found)?

How about:

• 417 - expectation failed
• 501 - not implemented
• 410 - gone

 

[Duchess]

How about:

• 417 - expectation failed
• 501 - not implemented
• 410 - gone

503 - Service Unavailable

(or maybe 218 - This is fine)

 

[th4tguy]

343 is this gen's 989 studios only with 1/10 the output.

 

[RAIDEN1]

I think this is a good time to add a "Did you know" moment: Did you know the next Halo after Infinite will be the first Halo game to ever appear on a Sony platform?

 

[clarky]

300 people doesn't sound like anywhere near enough to be working on 2 full blown Halo games.

 

[mckmas8808]

300 people doesn't sound like anywhere near enough to be working on 2 full blown Halo games.

It seems good to me. If 100 of them are doing the Halo 1 Remake and the other 200 are working on a new Halo game from the ground up.

 

[genesisblock]

My friend and I got a spiritual awakening with the Halo Series thanks to the MCC as we never experienced it when it was released and it definitely hold up to new players like me even for this generation. We're about to complete Halo 3 in our completion run but I dread anticipating Halo:4 as it's the one a lot of people have judged to the be the start of the downfall of the series

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

Yes! Just close this bitch and can Halo... like for real, I dont think they will ever do something note worthy.

Im even surprised they have let them still do something: they literally took one of the most iconic games in recent years and proceed to burn it to the ground but they just wanted to be CoD or whatever was popular, so they could get their bonus.

I would call this one of the worst take over of an IP, but then Disney took over Star Wars.

Anyways, just fuck 343/Halo Studios and just can the IP. The story was told and everything they did later was so bad it just become a mid tier game.

 

[Come On Tars]

I'm playing both sides so I always end out on top.

-happily will see 343 and whoever fail even more miserably. The purple hair devs hate the audience and the game.
-if they pull off a miracle yay a good Halo game.

either will suffice.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Xbox' greatest franchise just ruined. Unbelievable.

 

[dem]

I booted up Halo this weekend just to see whats up..

Its so fucking dead.
The whole presentation is lifeless.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

And don't be bigots. Let's celebrate together.

MS doubled down on all their DEI. Anyone that thinks they learned from the woke mistakes, you're wrong. They'll continue to do this slop.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

MS doubled down on all their DEI. Anyone that thinks they learned from the woke mistakes, you're wrong. They'll continue to do this slop.

And by offering slop, they will deliver content to laugh at. Thank you 343i
