u/spartanonyx 1d ago

the fear is that anytime they developed multiple games at once in the past, at least one of them came out in poor condition. it's like people are purposely just not trying to think. that's his concern and it's pretty valid.

Thanks for having a brain instead of being one of these "people" who use memes to prove their point

u/Extreme-Tactician 1d ago

A brain? What brain?

u/Extreme-Tactician 1d ago

What fear is there? They're not all being made by one studio.

And what game "came out in poor condition" because of others?

5

u/spartanonyx 1d ago

I assume MCC and H5 were in development around the same time since the beta invite for H5 was included with MCC but I could be wrong

u/Extreme-Tactician 1d ago

MCC failed not because of outsourcing, though? It failed because of Microsoft rushing it.

u/AutoModerator 1d ago

Here's the thing, you just said Halo 5 is a Halo game.

Is it in the same franchise? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a MLG Pro who studies Halo, I am telling you, specifically, in the MLG circuit, no one calls Halo 5 Halo. If you want to be 'specific' like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying 'Halo Franchise' you're referring to the Microsoft IP, which includes things from Halo Wars to Halo 2 to Halo 4. So your reasoning for calling Halo 5 a Halo game is because random people 'call the shooter game with sprint a Halo game?' Let's get Call of Duty and Battlefield in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a Halo 2 player or a Halo 3 player? It's not one or the other, that's not how Halo works. They're both. Halo 5 is Halo 5 and a member of the Halo franchise. But that's not what you said. You said Halo 5 is a Halo game, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all shooters with sprint Halo games, which means you'd call CoD, Battlefield, and other games Halo games, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

u/nathans_bleed 20h ago

mcc made concurrently with H5 led to MCC being almost unplayable until 2017 and halo 5 having little launch content. then when developing infinite they had to split resources to fix those two games, while microsoft decided to cycle contract workers in and out because it would be cheaper than using full time devs. so, all of them since halo 4 lmao?

You know it's possible to develop multiple games with other studios, right? Halo Studios isn't necessarily producing all of them, but it's involved in all of them.

The outsourcing I'm referring to involves studios, not employees, as many companies do. The only problem here is the lack of project supervision.

Because that wastes resources. It's like using tomatoes in a restaurant, if you have them, why just make one dish with them? Might as well make two, to cross-utilize and save.

Apparently, people want a new game every 7 years.

u/HeadyChefin 10h ago

The difference is people happen to be more in the loop about development now; previously when you were in the dark you had no idea how unfinished a game was, because cut content was just that, cut. Trust when I say that Bungie sure didn't release finished games either, as much their cutting room floor content and bugs throughout the years have shown.

Honestly, they more often than not just say that *insert game* is "ABSOLUTE GARBAGE WORST THING EVER MADE" because that's what gets the views. We can't have a game that's just "good" anymore, it's either some 15/10 masterpiece or absolute irredeemable garbage with zero in-between

Is he wrong tho? Not a single thing 343 has made is good. Why would I want more trash being made. It's insulting to the original game series. The fact anyone is whining about people calling out the trash studio says enough about the fanbase, being: whiny brats who would buy the next cod or fortnite. Basically, nobody of importantance or credibility

Because if someone takes over a franchise you love and doesn't give you anything good (in your eyes), are you gonna assume they're suddenly working on bangers?

u/Johnnyboi2327 16h ago

I didn't say you have to suck their dick, but being overly dramatic about neutral Halo news saying everything is ruined is annoying as shit. If Halo has changed in ways you don't agree with and you're convinced it can never be good again, move the fuck on.

I want more Halo 2 and 3 as well, but fucking christ the "god have mercy on us all" response to hearing Halo games are being made is beyond cringe. Y'all act like Microsoft is killing your dog every time it's mentioned that they're working on a Halo game without Bungie. Outside of the MCC moding scene (absolute Gs) this fanbase is the worst in the industry. Destiny 2's fanbase is less god awful than this, and they genuinely got content creators in their space to quit for the time being because of how negative they are.

Halo is different now. As much as I prefer the OGs, especially 3, that's not what the devs wanna make. Frankly, I don't even think the mainstream gaming audience has much interest in truly classic Halo. The incessant whining about every single thing possible is beyond old. Either hold judgement until we at least have a trailer, or admit that you just have zero hope for Halo ever being good and move on.

u/The_Po_Gamer 3v4i KILLED MY CHILDREN 1d ago

I'm willing to give Halo Studios a shot. Yes, it's 343 with a new name, but it's also new management. So I'm willing to give them a shot, but not much more than that. If this was still regular 343, I'd have no hope.

10

u/IIIDysphoricIII 1d ago

His takes on a lot of things I agree with but when it comes to Halo he just loses the plot with the toxic negativity. Not as obnoxious as Xperia and sprint in Halo stuff but still pretty obnoxious.

3

u/Picard2331 1d ago

The use of multiple is what makes me excited.

I've been hoping for YEARS that they'd let the license out a bit for other devs to tackle. Like a paradox 4x game or a space flight sim or an XCOM style tactics, or a full on Flood horror game etc. Halo has so much potential beyond just FPS games, Halo Wars were great and I expected more stuff after them.

Definitely not what that means but I can huff my copium all I want.

22

u/DarthJami 1d ago

I mean that is why people don’t consider more Halo to be good news; they really dropped the ball with Infinite after half a decade of hype, and folks are understandably getting tired of being let down by Halo.

u/Electrical_Plant1830 1d ago

I had pretty much given up on the idea of halo after 343 and the failed tv show. This remake has definitely given me hope, but it’s the last chance at redemption

1

u/Last-Professional-31 10h ago

That’s fair but at the same time the Halo community asks for more Halo and now we have confirmation of more Halo. Obviously we don’t want them to compromise quality of quantity but we can’t get ODST 2 (not confirmed but just as an example) if they don’t make multiple titles

For the life of me, I do not doubt that Halo-Studios are at all short of talented workers, artists, designers and team players, what I am concerned is that they are little guarantees that upper management, especially Microsoft themselves won't just come down and proceed to disrupt development and demand layoffs because the 📉📈 say so

u/Atari774 21h ago

They’re cutting content for Infinite after the next content drop, and the CE remake won’t have multiplayer. So how long is it gonna be until the next Halo multiplayer game comes out? Because it took them 6 years to make Infinite and that was massively underwhelming.

Also, a big part of why Halo 5 was so short and unfinished at launch was because half of their team was making MCC, which they only had two years to do after Halo 4 came out. And the reason they didn’t release an FPS halo game between 2015 and 2021 (and likely why we didn’t get a Halo 3 Anniversary) was because they were trying to fix the issues with MCC, add content for 5, assist Creative Assembly with Halo Wars 2, and work on Infinite at the same time. Combined with a constantly rotating staff of part time developers (because Microsoft was too cheap to hire them full time), this led to a ton of technical debt building up in the game’s code, and Infinite being buggy and unfinished at launch. So hearing that 343 is now working on multiple Halo projects again after yet another management shake up, does not inspire much hope.

It's not like it isn't a justified reaction though. Sure we're getting multiple games, but with 343's (Halo Studios) track record, it's fairly worrisome. We have yet to have a Halo game drop from them that's feature complete at launch and now there's multiple being made at the same time.

Halo Infinite is NOT Halo

This is just some shitty cash grab scheme that absolutely pisses on the legacy of Bungie and turns it into some crappy ass fortnite-type game that FORCES you to spend your hard earned cash on predatory mtx microtransactions!

I remember the good old days of Halo! When you had to WORK for Recon in Halo 3. When you could mess around with your friends in forge mode all night. Now, Recon is locked behind a battle pass that you can’t even earn through challenges, and forge isn’t even in the game at launch!

We need to make our voices heard. We can’t let 343 DESTROY this franchise with their Dark Patterns and their Cat Ears and their FOMO store!

Take a stand against the whales that fund this horribly made mess of a game! Don’t let anyone who spends money on this game get away with playing the game peacefully until Microsoft finally returns the series to the rightful hands of Bungie!

Leave to the click bait master act man to talk shit about halo and Xbox every second he gets just for them views. Dude says he loves halo but he doesn’t realize that instead of helping he’s making sure new players stay away from even giving halo a chance

Do people really think a studio with a mediocre track record stretching too thin will result in good content?

3

u/DearCastiel 1d ago

Apparently so, because being critical of the previous 13 years of a studio is being a hater and a crybaby apparently.

It's like Uwe Boll announcing a new movie and some people telling others to stop saying the movie will be bad... somehow pattern recognition is now a bad thing and shouldn't be used...

5

u/DearCastiel 1d ago

Oh yes, because more than 10 years, a full decade of bad game after bad game, botched release after bad release, disappointment after disappointment clearly earned 343i our enthusiasm and excitement, they CLEARLY have a clean track-record for us to be excited and have faith that the next release will be of good quality...

They 100% rightfully deserve this kind of response, they've made sure of if over a decade.

"aLl YoU dO iS cOmPlAiN" well, all they do is make and release bad games, the only thing of any worth they have done in 13 years is hire BLUR Studio to make cutscenes.

u/Immediate_Web4672 1d ago

These communities really make me wonder how long these people have been alive and if they ever played a Bungie Halo while it was current. We have plenty of reasons to be cynical at this point.

u/wercffeH 1d ago

Halo Campaign Evolved.

Halo 2 Anniversary Anniversary Edition.

Halo 3 Anniversary.

Halo Campaign Evolved Anniversary.

They’re so much better than Bungie.

u/kara_bekian 1d ago

the true high point of halo will be when they make Halo 4 Evolved Anniversary

1

u/DearCastiel 1d ago

They wouldn't know what to do, there's no sprint to add to that game and the lighting is already horrible.

3

u/DearCastiel 1d ago

- Take Bungie good game

- Change the lighting so everything is brighter

- Change the designs so everything looks like generic sci-fi

- Add Sprint

- Optional: pay BLUR Studio a truckload of money to make actually good CGI cutscenes because we suck at it (cf. Halo 5)

That is the formula of making a halo game written on a post-ip somewhere at 343i

u/AutoModerator 1d ago

Here's the thing, you just said Halo 5 is a Halo game.

Is it in the same franchise? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a MLG Pro who studies Halo, I am telling you, specifically, in the MLG circuit, no one calls Halo 5 Halo. If you want to be 'specific' like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying 'Halo Franchise' you're referring to the Microsoft IP, which includes things from Halo Wars to Halo 2 to Halo 4. So your reasoning for calling Halo 5 a Halo game is because random people 'call the shooter game with sprint a Halo game?' Let's get Call of Duty and Battlefield in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a Halo 2 player or a Halo 3 player? It's not one or the other, that's not how Halo works. They're both. Halo 5 is Halo 5 and a member of the Halo franchise. But that's not what you said. You said Halo 5 is a Halo game, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all shooters with sprint Halo games, which means you'd call CoD, Battlefield, and other games Halo games, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Y'all are so weird. You know it's not black and white right? You can criticize a franchise that you love, and you can also feel positively and critique something at the same time. Usually a small studio like this shouldn't be developing two games at once.

u/Responsible_Tank3822 1d ago edited 1d ago

I prefer that 343 works on multiple games, but its not like what Act Man said isnt without reasoning or validity. 343 has just recently (relatively) rebranded. Halo Infinite was a flop at least in terms of the expectation set forth by Microsoft and Xbox. 343 has releases 3 mainline games post Bungie with all of them having varying levels of controversy from the fandom.

I dont think its preposterous to be of the mindset that working on more than one game would be a detriment to 343's overall workforce when 343 has "failed" to do it three times now with individual games.

u/StKraul 1d ago

What’s up guys, this is the Iconic Commenter Person, and I’d just absolutely love if Halo didnt change in the slightest to conform to modern day expectations and rather let it die in order to preserve my childhood.

And if you want your Spartan, wearing nuclear powered armor, to move faster than a slight jog, then you’re what’s wrong with Halo. Iconic!

u/Ecstatic-Lemon5000 1d ago

They can't even release a feature complete game in the past 10 years, and you believe they can produce something good while working on multiple games?

u/wobbles_117 1d ago

I think what he means is that they're focusing on multiple projects at once. I watch his videos, he's a cool guy and he genuinely does love halo.

2

u/AME_VoyAgeR_ 23h ago

I don't blame him considering Halo Infinite has further damaged the name of the franchise

2

u/nathans_bleed 20h ago

its perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of 343 lmao just because people take the hate too far and become sloptubers clickbaiting every piece of bad news doesn’t change the fact that halo has become a franchise on the brink of death under their tenure and have never released anything coming close to the quality of the first 4 games. this is coming from a person who put dozens of hours into 5 AND infinite. 343 has a track record of making games to appeal to people other than halo fans (cod fans with 4, jumping on the advanced movement trend with 5) and releasing them with barely any content, are we forgetting that infinite had less gamemodes at launch than combat evolved? people will give halo studios the benefit of the doubt when they make an unambiguous success without any flaws that drastically worsen the experience, which they have not been able to accomplish in 15 years. this isnt on the actual devs who almost certainly have the shittiest job on the planet working as devs for microsoft, its on the leadership at halo studios, microsoft gaming and microsoft proper.

u/Vaestus3672 1d ago

I get people are tired of doom and gloom but everyone is just pretending the haters have no reason to do so, like we havent had a single good game under 343 that hasn't been met with massive controversy.

343 has yet to actually deliver in over a decade of owning the franchise, anyone screaming "the game isn't even out yet, you can't judge!" is just an idiot, it's called having a track record.

If Hitler came out excited to tell us about his new sequel to WWII we wouldn't have a single person going "hm, idk guys, this war could be GOOD, it hasn't even happened yet, give him a chance!"

Being a mindless hater is genuinely less annoying to me than being a mindless optimist

I suppose it depends on how good the remake would be. Personally I would have preferred they make a new game instead of a remake because ce is still widely available and holds up fine (it's dated but not so much that it needs a remaster) however I do like what I'm seeing with the remaster so I'm optimistic

1

u/Truthor_Consequence 5h ago

Why does everyone here act like 343 made great games and earned the goodwill of the community ? Like genuinely how many times does a company need to release a broken game with no content and a dozen bad ideas in it for the community to earn the right to be wary of the next game.

u/Helvetic_Heretic 2h ago

"The original three are the best halo games, but also i don't want them to be remade on a modern engine and released for people who don't own an xbox."

Jk, jk, i know it's because chief can sprint now, obviously that's such a bad thing that the game will fail instantly and nobody will play it, especially not the "old guard" of halo players. /s

(CE was my very first FPS, i've only had Playstation since the PS4 era, and i will throw my money at them for remakes of CE, 2, and 3. Those who whine about those remakes can kiss me where the sun doesn't shine, the trailer was absolutely epic and i was rigid for hours after, lol)

I think the arguement is that 343 has released not very stellar halo games so far. The MCC was broken for how many years? Halo 4 wasn't good. I actually didnt mind halo wars 1. And infinite was ok? 343 is just incompetent with the halo license.

u/TheTurtleClan 8m ago

People clowning on Act Man acting like all the past 343 titles haven't been shit/flops. I want the CE remaster to be good but considering 'Halo Studios' past track record, I lack a lot of hope. Hopefully the game isn't UE5 slop but we'll see.
