Idc about this if it's true. All I know is the next halo needs to knock it out of the park to keep the franchise relevant.

I'd like to see another developer being given the chance to make a new Halo.

id software or Arkane Studios would be my pick.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Ah yes, the infamous "because this tweet said so" schtick, lmao.

If you bought an Xbox over a PlayStation, you just locked yourself out for exclusives titles.

 

[Draugoth]

The Halo subreddit are already speculating this might be real

 

[March Climber]

I ended up enjoying the MCC more.

I would surely hope so. If one game is somehow able to give more enjoyment than 5 highly rated games, that game should be considered for top 100 all time lists and put in a gaming hall of fame.

 

[noob smokes]

Its only a matter of time halos gonna get a huge 2nd wind so good for them

lets be real, ever since the shift in focus to gamepass, crossplay and day one with pc, xbox has been and currently is just a cheaper alternative to getting a gaming pc.

Not my thing anymore, but I definitely have friends who still stick with xbox.

I’d love to see a developer with a good console FPS background give Halo a chance. Maybe Bungie?

Stranger things have happened. If Microsoft brings Halo to PS5, I could certainly see a deal in the future having Bungie make a new Halo game. Especially if future Halo games struggle and Marathon struggles. It would be a win-win for all parties.

I was more making a stupid joke, but yeah, id would be amazing

 

[Markio128]

It would make much more sense for the MCC to come to PS5 before Halo Infinite, wouldn’t it? Or release all of them at once, in a big bumper PS5 bundle?

Ah, Fair enough
(I’ve seen so many similar suggestions in an unironic manner that i didnt catch the joke)

 

[Joel Was Right]

I wonder how MS will price these games to a new audience, with possibly little to no marketing behind it.

 

[ManaByte]

It is, but the campaign sucks.

Releasing them separately would make more sense.

 

[IDKFA]

Maybe Bungie?

Now that would be something. The creators of Halo, now owned by Sony, going back to the franchise to make a new mulltiplatform Halo game.

I'd love to see that.

Halo is just switching to the Sea of Thieves style battle pass that unlocks future store cosmetics much cheaper.

Halo Infinite MP is free to play.

 

[Codes 208]

Halo Infinite MP is free to play.

And the campaign is still $60 (digitally, many retailers removed it physically)

 

[ManaByte]

And the campaign is still $60

No one cares. No one has touched the campaign since 2021. It’s a MP game first.

 

[Topher]

Plenty of people give a shit

 

[Draugoth]

Releasing them separately would make more sense.

Makes more sense to release Infinite first since the Multiplayer is dead, and most PS5 players would skip it.

 

[Codes 208]

No one cares. No one has touched the campaign since 2021. It’s a MP game first.

No one has touched the campaign because they 180’d their expansions in favor of multiplayer

Still no idea wtf they think the campaign deserves to be full priced three years later. Shouldve launched at $40 at most

 

[ManaByte]

since the Multiplayer is dead

Fucking bullshit. I’m playing MP as I type this and I’m getting into matches immediately.

Why are you invalidating EU countries as less of a country than whereever you come from?

Incredibly weird flex.

Halo Infinite MP is free to play.

To clarify, if Halo Infinite came out on PS5 me and my buddies could play online multiplayer for free?

Are the old maps from Halo 2/3 still there?

 

[bitbydeath]

Is today still today?

Wednesday.

Yes. MP is a separate client and F2P. Always has been.

-it will require an xbox live account (the same with xbox’s other ports) but it just requires the free version so yes, you’d be able to play for free

-no, 343 did not remake any maps when making infinite. There are classic playlists that use forge-made maps based on older maps like valhalla and zanzibar

 

[ManaByte]

They remade the maps for the anniversaries.

 

[Codes 208]

They remade the maps for the anniversaries.

Theyre not remakes from the ground-up, they had their forge community designers make them

Wait we are still talking about infinite right?

They added 2/3 maps for the anniversaries of both last year.

Ok yeah those ones im familiar with. Theyre still really good quality forge maps (ever since 5, forge maps have been on par with developer maps, i just wished they had better resources for the color palettes and lighting)

343 hasnt really bothered to make their own maps in ages, since its release, i believe we only got three new maps (the needler cave is my favorite)
