Anyone at 343i actually speak against MSFT?

I realize MSFT is your publisher and they own you 343i, but honestly, did any of you raise your hands or speak up during your meetings when crafting this game on paper and say…ummm dear sirs at MSFT, this isn’t Halo you’re asking us to make, it sounds like you’re wanting us to copy COD.

It’s blatantly obvious where the direction is going with this game.

I have one last question though, when can we Halo fans expect to see our next “true core” Halo game?

Halo 5? 6? 7?

Just stop.

> Just stop.

He’s right.

> Just stop.

It’s a legitimate question. I know how the publisher/developer relationship works…and it’s even worse when your publisher owns you.

Lets face it, Frankie and 343i are working as paycheck developers, they’re not “true” game designers. No fancy public relations vidocs are going to change it either.

The only chance we will get to play “Halo” again is if they make Halo 2: Anniversary, with its own multiplayer. Any future Halos will probably just continue with this COD ripoff.

Don’t worry Halo 2: anniversary will use a modified Halo 4 multiplayer so as to not split the fanbase.

My prediction.

Everyone should write letters to MSFT explaining their dislike for the direction they’re taking Halo.
