Not gonna lie, in the past I thought you were too harsh on 343 but now i see exactly what you mean. They are completely incompetent and not capable to carry this franchise

Not to sound like a bungie-halo purist. But the franchise has been on a one way trip since 343 took over and the story went from interesting war against extinction and mysterious ancient parasite fought with technology to undoing victory over covenant and making forerunners into space wizards. And flood into gods. 343 seemingly cant look at a question and think "should this be anwsered" or "is our anwser respectable to the sourcematerial".

343 has failed at literally ever attempt to do anything ever. Every Halo game 343 has released could never retain a playerbase let alone compare to the creativity and innovation of the originals. I mean for fucks sake they couldnt even remake the originals and it was broke for what like 5 fucking years? They have had the rights to the franchise longer than Bungie and have yet to produce even a single competent product, id say by this point Microsoft should clean house and find an entire new studio. If this was Sony they would have all hands on deck making sure the product was as quality and feature complete as possible especially being a flagship franchise but maybe thats just the difference in company culture.

The part that makes me the most sad is that the popularity boom from release has come and gone and they haven't added ANYTHING... So all my friends that might have started playing Halo are now firmly never going to play it.

Man I was expecting like 5 more maps and a progression system by now :/

I feel the same way, I don’t play infinite anymore since December and hate how “hardcore fans” are still defending 343 and halo infinite

Imagine having to start the entire campaign over. Just to get a skull you missed because there wasn’t any mission replay.

I can’t believe Microsoft still let’s 343 make halo games.

They just put the final nail in the coffin with the 6 month season 2 announcement, infinite has already lost most of its players and it's gonna lose another massive chunk during another 6 month period of stagnation.

They can't even add mission replay absolutely embarrassing.
Just disband 343 for Christ sake

I'm pretty much done at this point, at least until Microsoft finally steps in and cleans house at 343; have zero clue why MS has allowed them to drag their flagship franchise through the mud for over a decade. My thoughts of 343, "Don't believe them. Don't trust them. Let them die."

Great video, agree with everything. This game is a disaster. I actually had to pause the video because I was laughing too much at CAMPAIGN REPLAY being on the roadmap lmfao

I'm going to be aggressively blunt on this one.  At this point. Anyone who has held up hope for this game deserves this level of disappointment at this point. Especially those who threw money at the shop, keep supporting garbage companies, keep playing these ass 'live services' with the defense of 'But it's free!'. It's sad at this point, sickening even that the Halo Fanbase time and time again is letting 343 use and abuse them ever since Halo 4 TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO. They have not had a single win outside of Halo infinites grapplehook in their entire time working on Halo. Every single thing they've done has been a failure. Halo 4, Halo 5, Halo 5 Warzone, Spartan Ops, Spartan Assault, Halo Infinite Multiplayer and I'll even be honest with myself and say the 60$ fucking campaign too which is just a kick in the dick. Quit supporting 343, Quit being so god damn lenient and easy on them in the hopes that 'They'll change!' after they've just thrown you across the living room like an abuse spouse. The only 'Success' Halo has seen objectively is Halo Wars 2 in the past 10 years. THAT ISN'T EVEN MADE BY 343! But nope, that game got forgotten, left to die on Windows Shop never to come to Steam to get the love it deserved.

I love Halo, Halo means a LOT to me and my childhood growing up and it hurts to see my favorite franchises in these kinds of states. Halo, Pokemon, Call of Duty. Why are they like this? Shitty Devs, Shitty Publishers? Yeah sure, that's a good contributor but at this point I'm starting to wanna point my finger at US, the consumer base, the fanbase, we the jackasses who keep supporting terrible release after terrible release, now dumping money into fucking COSMETICS, something that should've been all earned BASE GAME. No no, sorry that's me being greedy this game is Free so we have to give it a pass for every single short coming and penny pinch. Fuck out of here. Seriously, we as consumers need to smack eachother upside the head and just STOP. Christ. Look at TF2, this is exactly what Halo infinite is going to become a year from now. Bots Galore. 343 Can't even ship a completed fucking product! Microsoft needs to fire EVERYONE from 343 and hand Halo off to a new studio, one that'll treat it right.

Gotta love the 2022 "mental health" excuse.

343 has done everything in their power to murder halo. They need to be dismantled and replaced with a competent developer.

“Here’s the reason still I talk about halo” - clicks.

Its insane that fundamental things like progression systems and even scoreboards (battlefield ) are left out of these huge AAA studios games It's like they have no one on staff who has even played a video game...

Feel the same way, just want to play Halo man.

Land grab is just a territories variant when you think about it. Idk how that's new.

I was waiting for your take on this absolute joke of a roadmap and let me say, you've yet to disappoint.  I truly appreciate the fact that you stuck to your guns when it came to criticizing 343i. Others within the community don't give you enough credit and try to clown you for the very same response that they will have but only when its safe to do so.

If you start looking into other games because lets be honest Halo isn't sustainable under 343i I will continue to watch your content because I enjoy your takes and its refreshing to see a youtuber who hasn't bent the knee.

Stay true and as always thanks for the amazing content.

Started the campaign for the second time yesterday, the Full body model is still bugged if you adjust FoV, and speed lines still turn themselves back on for every new game session if you disable them. They can’t add new content, they can’t fix the content that’s already in the game.
