@eduscxbox I would agree, but I still think a 3rd person perspective instead of 1st could be a great change. As I mentioned, there are now way more than enough 1st person shooters. I certainly wouldn't want to see Halo go the direction of Fortnite, but I wouldn't mind a Halo action adventure game.
I'd love to see them do what was originally planned for Halo back when it was supposed to launch on Macintosh. With Unreal 5 this could be an awesome relaunch of the Halo brand.
Third person, co-op action adventure. I know this may not be a popular opinion but I just am completely sick of first person shooters, there really must be 10,000 different shooters available on Xbox now. Xbox needs a "Breath of the Wild" like francise. Perhaps this could be a Halo spin-off series at the very least.
I'm absolutely fine with the battery situation, but the stick drift HAS TO GO! It's so bad and they just aren't fixing it. Hall Effect or TMR is a must in the next controller.
OK. So much fear and negativity towards "first party" games moving to other platforms. I have never understood this and have always been against "console exclusivity". I think I give Nintendo a pass on this because they have always built unique hardware that pairs with the games. For many of their games moving it to other hardware would actually, greatly change the experience.
Let me see if I can explain why this doesn't matter and in fact, is the right thing to do. What if Disney suddenly said from here on out all Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Star Wars etc. movies will only be available to watch inside Disney Theme Parks, and you have to pay to get into the park and then pay to watch the movies once you are in there. That is how the games industry has worked with exclusives. It doesn't make sense. Make a great entertainment product (games in this case) and get it to the masses. That is how you fund the next great product.
I hear people saying that if we lose exclusives we lose hardware, but I ask why? People can still choose what hardware they like best. This has happened in pretty much every other industry. Take cell phones for example (again). You can choose an iPhone, a Pixel, Samsung, etc. and in most cases get the apps you want on any one of those devices. You don't choose the phone for one or two exclusive apps, you choose the phone that best speaks to you. Game consoles should be like this.
Anyway, that's my 2ยข looking forward to hearing why I am completely wrong. Get at me....
