Campaign DLC scrapped?

you know there is also a other big problem there cant fix so easy and there have also no controle on it.
and thats the trust in the game it needs to have from the people that are going to play it.
if people do not trust the game any more then its a big problem for the multiplayer.
so you can fix the game still a lot so long there is no trust at all people stay away from the game.

The thing is Microsoft is cutting 10% of its entire workforce world wide equaling about 10,000 jobs. This was on the news in the business section so that really sucks

Edit: sorry 5% but it still 10,000 jobs being cut

Well that’s what I’ve been saying, fix the multiplayer, then figure out campaign, but campaign is probably far down the line now at this point

do you not have read on social media about the scrap campaign dlc news what for comments you see there.
the comments there are not piece full or anything good at all.
the most part off the comments are that there not trust 343 any more with the halo game.
and sure it not tells if there also play or have play the halo game but the comments there give not a good reputation at all.

Not sure this is true, but I’ve heard campaign dlc wasn’t even planned past conversation about it

Which would confirm they definitely cut back on the campaign and shipped what they had. It wouldn’t surprise me if most of the final missions were thrown together with a cliffhanger ending.

But it’s not just the no DLC issue. If they cut the campaign team that means one of two things:

1 - Some other studio will make the next Halo game

2 - They have no plans to make another Halo game

Which is an issue because if another studio takes it on, even under 343 oversight, I doubt they would be telling a cohesive story and you would probably get villain of the week type stuff.

It also increases the odds of somebody thinking “let’s do what CoD did and tell an Elseworld story”. No, just no. Totally different IP. Totally different circumstances.

I think it’s gone on too long. They do have to say something and it’s actually concerning they haven’t said anything yet.

-_- yea I know, what you think we’ve been talking about

each halo player that has follow the last couple off years any news about halo infinite knows that there have make some promice to the communety.

one off the promise was that halo infinite campaign mode gets 2 DLC’s.

its the same thing there have done with splitscreen Co-Op.
first there make a promice on the E3 that halo infinite gets splitscreen Co-Op some years later there scrap it.

and now there do the same thing first there make a promice about the campaign mode that gets 2 DLC’s.
and now years later there scrap it again.

A simple solution would be to re-contract Certain Affinity and maybe another third-party studio to help out with development of DLC content.

But it may be more complicated than that if money is an issue.

That’s most likely what they’ll do for remainder of infinite, but dlc talk won’t come up until multiplayer is stable

I guess my phrasing was off, my bad.

343 relies heavily on third party studios for multiplayer development.
Certain Affinity
Liquid Development
Airborne Studios
just to name a few.

Honestly surprised that they don’t just contract a third party studio to focus on Multiplayer fixing and development so that 343 itself can double efforts on Campaign development and fixes to the engine & network.

That is what I meant to convey earlier.

if there going to do that and ask a third party company to make the dlc contant for the campaign mode.

how are there going to fix the trust issue then for the game in general?

you know also that this is the second promice there have destory after splitscreen Co-Op so there most do something else also to restore the trust in the game.

Rebrand the studio, remove the unnecessary and counter-productive screening out of potential new hires on the grounds of “being a Halo fan”, and hire a guy to slap someone on camera whenever a false promise is made.

And I mean a really good slap. Like pay the Slapper $500 per slap if it is indeed a lie. If the slapper is just slapping for the sake of getting maximum slaps per salary paycheck, then he or she is replaced by someone with better convictions.

that is still funny but i think that is not going to help at all.
still its better then the Sell the ip to sony comments you see more.

i think what a good start is to restore the trust is to come clean and make sure the dlc for the campaign become’s super good with a lot off things to do and then you have a good start with getting the trust back.
its still then a hard long way to get all the trust back but its a good stap i think in the right way.

Satire obviously, seeing as Bungie went to Sony.

You’ll be waiting awhile for that

Damn that truly sucks for the people who worked out 60 bucks for that campaign. Like damn,

But let’s be honest Halo Infinite was just a Game designed to run and Find HCS tournaments.

That’s it. They wanted to expand the HCS crowd and make.it this big center stage thing … and now they can barely afford to crowdfund the tournaments.

Won’t be surprised if they cancel them after a few months of the funding doesn’t keep coming in

The campaign will always be more important. If 343i made a game purely multiplayer without a campaign, everyone would complain. It has the same energy has releasing a campaign without splitscreen.

It would just be on 343i’s tail in the long run that won’t ever be let back down. As splitscreen is already.

Couldn’t it just be delayed? They do definitely need to work on multiplayer, but I wouldn’t think there’s reason to believe campaign DLC is cancelled forever

And yet it’s canceled. So it’s not that important at a dire time like this, just goes to show multiplayer is king. When you release a game as a F2P multiplayer you need that to be successful, campaign you can make anytime.
