I'll play it if I can reload every time I get spotted.

Has a franchise as big as Halo was, ever seen such a huge decline?

I remember the Halo 3 launch being huge, bigger than most movies.

Halo Infinite just came and went. Shame, as I love the series, even 4&5.

I remember the Halo 2 launch as well being huge.

The original trilogy, ODST and Reach were a brilliant series of games, then it started going downhill with 4

Halo 3 launch was insane. Everyone was talking about it, the marketing was brilliant.

Series was strawberry floated as soon as Bungie left.

Saw something online about up to 60 staff being laid off and the ex-staff saying that Halo was set up to fail by Microsoft with bad management.

Eeewww.

Halo is a strange one. It clearly was victim to lots of people with different views. Open world vs linear. Next Gen only or both. MP flopped hard for me and was messy with lack of co-op and and forge and then battle pass just thrown at it.

Lengthy thread from a reliable french leaker -

TLDR

- 343 will no longer be a game development studio but will be oversee external studios working on the Halo IP. Coordinate Halo Infinite follow-up & Franchise the Halo license to other studios. They started approaching other studios in 2020. Should result in several more games, both big and small in different genres.
- This is already happening in season 2/3 of MP - Forge (SkyboxLabs), Maps & content (Sperasoft) & Battle Royale (Certain Affinity).
- Splipspace engine will continue to be developed. Access will be given to external studios.

I want an ID take on Halo side story like ODST.

Infinites Campaign is Leagues above 4&5 imo.

Absolute disaster

Considering 343 was supposed to have been specifically hand picked to carry the Halo franchise it is something of a clusterfuck that this is how things have gone

They really fumbled Halo Infinite's release with big features missing and the shockingly barebones content pipeline after so many years in development, it's a massive shame IMO because I loved the core gameplay.

Strangely I was just saying to a friend about a hour before this leak that this is what they should do moving forward, let another studio have a go at it.

Jason Schreier says -

I ran these bullet points by a few people. While it's true that 343 is focused on multiplayer, the stuff about campaign DLC being scrapped is false (I don't think there was much of that planned in the first place), and a lot of this is either wrong or just speculation.

Plans change

I hope they give Halo to Peter Molyneux.
He'll sort it out.

Why is that an image? It would fit in the character limit of Twitter.

I think it’s because they needed to hammer the point home, the Halo fan base is horrible so they’d presume who ever runs the Twitter account wouldn’t be ‘official’ enough, no ambiguity with the new studio head saying it.

As pointed out in the press it's border line offensive that they tweeted that without even acknowledging that large swathes of real people losing real work. Tech layoffs going hard this month.
