"I'm starting to notice a trend, something that's only been a factor since 343 Studios took over for Bungie. Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: ODST and Halo: Reach needed no buildup, no other sources of plot enhancement in order to tell its story. Even if you wanted to read First Strike to see how John – I call Chief by his name, okay – made it out of the bleakness of HCE's ending and survived to the opening scenes of Halo 2, you didn't really need to. You just knew that he made it out, and there he was. The games were the driving force of the narrative core, and the novels simply filled in the gaps.
But in the 343 era, that isn't happening. Or, at least it doesn't feel that way."
Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries has moved to explain a recent microtransactions price hike following a community backlash.
so they made several changes how the helmets etc work, however, ive never seen anyone raising prices in a shop due to changes THEY made.
There is absolutely no reason for ever raising the price of cosmetics. They are some of the quickest assets to create but charge silly prices for them. Its greed. There's no other way to spin it no matter what the game is.
343 Industries will continue to work on the Halo series going forwards, but other studios may get involved in development, it’s been suggested
man what a failure halo wars 2 was the only good thing from this series on xbox one/series
10yr plan new ring that can change over time slipspace engine all gone now halo is another steam game sitting in the background.
Kids/teens today have no clue they halo we grew up with.
If a cod dev gets involved then that will be worse current cod out now is only popular because its the best out of the crap pile. i launched it the other day 4 cash shop popups one unskipable add then 30min trying to find the game through all the mt's.
It's good to see that 343 cannot handle the task and are looking to do something. But how many years have gone by where there has not only been nothing to show, but issues. Microsoft is the issue here. And as of just 1mth ago with Refall, it has been proven again. Guess what,,, Phil S is NOT a developer and not does he have any legs to say a damn word about development. Wake up people.
crazy how indifferent ms is about one of the biggest franchises in gaming. it looks pretty bad when you don't even have a clear plan for your flagship title. ms just has no idea how to make good games anymore.
Gamers have a bone to pick with 343 Industries, with Halo Infinite's hit registration in online matches remaining completely broken.
Hit registration broken is one thing. The kill sound, or some people call it a "hit noise" annoying ass bird chirp is what broke the deal for me. They could at least provide an option to turn that squirrel fart noise off in the settings. But no, every single solitary headshot kill *SQUEAK*, *CHIRP*, *BEEP*
Not having any issues with Dsycn.
This is a connection problem...and the video in question was posted 300 days ago.
Why report on it now?
Gamerant is another one of those BuzzFeed like so called video game publications that hire freelances to create articles in mass without any credible source.
I'm glad buzz feed got shut down because of their slizzle method, can't wait for these types of website to run out of money.
i find it so weird, that one of the best selling xbox franchises, got this disaster of a game, even the first trailer they showed was nothing more than a complete fail
Completely disagree, Blue Team doesn't need exposition in game because they are already well established characters to fans of the series as a whole. Those not in the know need only venture to Halopedia.
They can't really control the media now that the game has released,just stop reading the articles and you won't know what happens.
Everyone moaned about the campaign but literally every single thing in the campaign was explained, even the origin of Blue team was talked about by Osiris and other spoiler plot points required no former knowledge or were explained in the game.
the story was terrible anyway
