I find it so odd that rather than make a game with the slew of comic IP they own (Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Slaine, Zombo) they decide to make these weird games nobody asked for. Like this and Strange Brigade.
Match composer might be the greatest update they ever made. I'll NEVER have to play a capture the flag mode ever again. Thank God.
It's a shame that it's too late though. The game is obviously dead. The new 20 tier operations literally add 4 items and 16 pieces of in game currency. The devs are very very obviously winding down new content. Probably shifted onto the next game.
Movie games, games that won't release for 3+ years, a black woman in every trailer, "world premier" text before every game shown, trailers with zero gameplay footage, and women screaming a lot.
Halo isn't relevant anymore. It's gone the way of Final Fantasy where it's last good game was decades ago and the younger generation don't know or even care about the franchise.
Why can't they just run games at 60fps? Why does there always have to be super sampling and deep learning super sampling and super resolution upscaling technology and frame generation interpolated technology.
Just get the game to run natively at 60, no?. Stop applying 10 layers of smoke and mirror tricks and post processing layers over my image. Can my game just look nice and crisp please without the nonsense? How much input lag does this introduce? How much does it smudge the image?
Also, apparently you need to have certain specific hardware with special features (VRR/free sync) to even get the most out of it. So open those wallets off.
Imagine if we had social media back in the day and every absolutely garbage licensed game developed had to put out a public apology. There would be 5 a week.
I have absolutely zero hope for anything modern day AAA from Microsoft. Especially not a PD reboot. It will never ever recapture the feeling or essence of the original.
They removed the weekly new unique item reward with free currency. So instead of getting a new item for completing the weekly challenges you get some currency that's maybe 10/20% towards buying an item. So you'll have to grind for weeks to buy an item that you used to get in 1 weekly challenge.
They also halved the amount of new content in Operation events. Last one had 14 new items. This new one has 7. With the rest of the pass being filled with free currency. So instead of just getting new content as you progress the event, again, you have to grind to purchase any new items, of which there's fewer.
There's 21 items to purchase with free currency. Only 5 of them are new items. 16 are old items. So they've halved the new content in exchange for that you can grind for mostly old items. And the shop refreshes in 6 weeks so anything you didnt grind for you don't get to buy it anymore after the refresh.
ONE armor color is 30,000 points. You get 1000 points a week for the challenge and 250 per day if you play one match. So it will take 3.5 weeks of playing every day to get a single armor coating that would just be unlocked by playing an event normally.
Halo Infinite and 343 is the epitome of 1 step forward, 30 steps back.

Re: Bethesda Makes Changes To Starfield Mods Following 'Negative Effects' On Xbox
Why not just make it that only certain ini commands can be altered? Ones that don't break the game.
What BS. They don't want you turning off all the worthless modern crap they slap onto the game to cover up how ugly it is
Re: Warhammer 40K Team Cancels Space Marine 2 Beta To 'Entirely Focus' On September Launch
Couldn't be a good sign? Betas are to test servers and bugs and all that. So it'll just release completely untested for public response.
I guess the people paying a premium to get the game 4 days early will be the beta testers.
