Worth the watch…

It is. I think they skip over a lot about MCC on PC though. Everything else before that was spot-on.
The development blogs for MCC on PC are almost all offline so here’s a Wayback Machine link. They talk about fixing Halo 3’s audio and the hit detection in Halo 3.

Was really an eye-opener. I experienced it all as it was unfolding, but it’s all been over the course of 10 years so it didn’t seem TOO bad at the time. But - oh boy - when you add up Infinite on top of all that… yeah, this company is absolutely horrendous. If it would be only incompetence, I guess one could feel sorry for them, but there is A LOT of lying and shady cheese going on simultaneously.

This was very informative. Thanks for sharing this.
It just reminded me of the controversies during those times, especially the Halo 4 and MCC releases. I always wondered why 343 never learned from their mistakes and applied those lessons for the later games. Every time I read or hear about how the development went, the problems usually point to the top’s decisions that hardly align with the developer’s sentiments. It’s rough to see and appears to still be the case today.

Such a great video. I wish this would get millions of views. Other fanbases like to trash talk Halo fans, but have no idea what we’ve been dealing with.

Can’t wait to see him do a part two with the fails of infinite.

Yeah, great video, really highlights the failings of 343 over the years and reminds us that many of the issues we see didn’t start with this game’s launch. I think to be fair, it does miss things like how drastic the overhaul of the MCC was and how great it is today, but that’s not really the point when all these games are launching as broken as they are, and with so many questionable design flaws during initial development.
I also look forward to this being updated for Halo Infinite. Sadly I’ve transitioned over the last few months to truly believing Halo needs to get given to another company, so I’m sure there’s plenty of content for such an update (although maybe they’ll wait till things are fixed… so we know how awfully long it all takes).

He is right, there is still time.
The hopium is extremely low.
This Feburary patch is critical, will it restore hope for the community or will it dash it once and for all…
