Halo is here to stay.

I hate that I am making a thread linking just a tweet, but atleast it's an official tweet.

I appreciate they have nipped the rumours in the bud.

Looking forward to the future of halo myself, I hope they can get a traditional progression system in infinite soon & get a steady stream of new content, as I genuinely really enjoy the game.

And hopefully I get my endless story one day, whether it's an expansion or standalone game.

❤️

Edit:
I probably should've guessed I'd be the only person happy about it here 🤷‍♂️

I just hope they can get things back on track. I still want other devs to help make other stories and experiences in the Halo Universe, though.

What time is it?

When XBOX has to reiterate that their marquee franchise is here to stay, the situation behind the scenes must be a catastrophe.
Yes but also it says to me that we live in a world where rumors without substance are able to spread without much resistance. But also the fact they spread so easy should tell you that 343i isn’t viewed with the kind of reverence that would make people doubt it.

Make modern versions of classic maps. Drop a few maps every second months. Create new characters and introduce them in small episodic single player DLC`s that you can expand upon.

Jesus some of you will never be happy. Pretty much what you've all be calling for has happened.

They've gutted 343, got rid off all the management and probably all the developers that weren't pulling their weight. Time to see if this new lot can turn this around now.

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
The only thing I'm sad about is the multiplayer state in Infinite

You can't satisfy everyone.

Also, halo fans anger is justified. Xbox allowed 343i to shit on their big IP.

Xbox needs to hold that loss, and move forward with a new studio, and ditch 343i. That is what I will do, if I was in Phil's position.

But they've pretty much sacked everyone thats responsible for fucking this up. 343 is not the same 343 now as it was even 3 months ago. I say give them a chance. The dude in charge turned around MCC, theres no better qualification than fixing that shit show.

As I mentioned in the other thread - and clarky clarky just said above - 343 basically fired everyone in charge of the studio for the past several entries.
I trust the dude who fixed the MCC (Pierre Hintze) - that game is now nearly perfect after the work he put in. He seems to 'get' Halo where im not sure people like Bonnie Ross and Tom French ever did.

I think Halo fans deserve a more thorough explanation of what the future of Halo entails than this shit.

But I guess this is just 343 being 343.

Seems pretty obvious to me. Support infinites MP while they rebuild from within and either a) deliver a whole new game at some point down the line (preferable) or b) some dlc campaign in a few years time (yuk).

Personally i'd like to see what certain affinity have cooking in the mean time.

The ship already sinked long time ago.

This was a titanic disaster. MS/Xbox couldn't see the the iceberg early on, which makes their effort futile.

Halo 5 should have been a wake up call. Or that stupid 10 year plan.

While I hope Halo isn't really dead, if there's one irrefutable truth that I've learned from 10 years of watching 343i glass my favourite franchise to atoms, it's that they're deliberately dishonest and misleading with their statements.

Ross or no Ross, 343i has lied and dropped the ball too many times for any word that comes out of that company to ever be taken at face value. So, reading over the wording, the phrases "single player", "new game", "new experience", or "new release" simply do not appear. Which is quite an odd omission if 343i is attempting to refute the rumours the company is done with development of new Halo Single Player games, and is now just a multiplayer factory.

That they're trying to "cannonise" Infinite's multiplayer with its garbage "story" allows them to continue down that road, churning out battle passes and seasonal cutscenes, and Hintze's statement here will still be technically true. Which is how 343i have always operated.

They're liars who are incompetent buffoons until they can prove otherwise.

As i live service title yes i agree. As a game no. Its one of my favorite games of last year. The campaign was great. I also enjoyed 5's MP so🤷‍♀️
