You guys seriously think it’s 343 that makes all the decisions regarding req packs and such? Microsoft makes those type of decisions, not 343.

I do blame them and MS for MCC. I do blame them for Blantant lying about campaign.
The point is that 343 are not innocent either. They have done many stupid crap.
343 is microsoft. Bonnie Ross is the head of 343 industries and a executive VP for microsoft.

Many things are involved in the development of a game, and I believe the marketing team took an idea and went with it, when the writers still didn’t know what exactly to do

They have separate names, do they not? The people under Microsoft make those decisions

And? That doesn’t change the fact MS & 343 was responsible for one of the worst launch ever. And lying about one certain character’s death.
Sorry but I don’t give them more second chances.

Considering they had to release it on the 10th anniversary of Halo 2, I do get why they released the way it is. Also, about Cortana, we don’t know if this our Cortana. There are many theories out there that suggest the Cortana we see in Halo 5 is one of her fragments, and that the real Cortana died in Halo 4.

My point went over your head huh
Microsoft = 343
343 has had every opportunity the older Halos have had and then some. But they have continued to underperform. This is not an opinion. Just looking at all the Halos lined up next to eachother makes 343 look worse.
343 keeps failing and shooting themselves in the foot. Any ill fortune they get is absolutely deserved.

So they are banking on technically not lying and half-truths then, yeah not inspiring confidence.
I’m going to go ahead and go with the three strikes rule here, H4, the MCC, and H5, they had 3 chances and they’ve failed every single time. I don’t see how people can continue to defend them, they obviously don’t have what it takes to continue the series and it shows, it’s not that Halo isn’t as popular as it used to be, it would still be popular if 343 knew how to make Halo games and they clearly do not.

Do you have any evidence to support this claim other than the fact that 343i is owned by Microsoft?

It was confirmed (I think by Frankie in his “hate speech” towards the fanbase that isn’t able to grasp subtlety) that it is in fact the original Cortana.
Also, Microsoft only wanted a Halo 2 Anniversary on the actual 10th anniversary of the game. They did not force 343 to make a game collection. The MCC was the developer’s own idea and they went through with it, fully aware that they were severely understaffed for such a task. The resulting bugfest is not the fault of Microsoft, only 343 themselves are to blame.
I like the REQ pack system though. People need to realize there are other people with different opinions
You know this could be a basic three act story. Halo 4 - sacrifice, Halo 5 - fall, Halo 6 - redemption. Let’s see where the story is going until we fully judge on Cortana. Anyway I’m loving H5 but maybe I’m just too laid back to moan about all the minor inconsequential details that the majority of complainants do.

What do you mean that had to release Halo MCC by its Anniversary date? No. They didnt. That was a target date. But seeing as even Ray Charles would have been able to tell that the game was broken, or should I say, FUBAR, it should have been delayed. Period. You don’t serve a dinner that’s under cooked just because you promised to serve it at 7:00. You don’t release a movie that isn’t finished just because you promised a release date. You don’t let people move into a house without the roof just because the closing date has arrived.
Why are you apologizing for 343? They are not your friends. And Halo MCC should not have to be released in the state that it did. Anniversary or not. Delays are for a reason. To finish what you are selling before you sell it.
Are you, serious? This sounds more like PR Spin.
These are becoming weekly threads now it seems. Why not just make them all it no a big sticky thread?

Much of the MCC development was subcontracted out to someone else (not sure who) who did a terrible job.
