Seriously.
Halo 4. you changed the artstyle and it was widely hated. You added Loadout and it was hated. You changed map dynamics to fit sprint rather than sprint complimenting combat.
Halo 5. You ignored the community on the artstyle. You in fact made it worse with some of the armors. You pushed microtransactions, taking customization out of the progression and putting it in lootboxes.
Infinite… man you guys got points back with the amazing artstyle change, campaign scope, multiplayer enjoyment AND saying you won’t focus on Battle Royal. Then came Armor coatings, shoddy progression system with pay to advance mechanics (we don’t even know how bad yet), not having staples like Forge and Coop ready at launch. Forge I get Based on what has been said about what you are doing with it. But Coop, having coop being delayed… I hope you guys are trying to add multiplayer spartans or something to excuse the ridiculous delay. It genuinely baffles me that you guys seriously thought this XP progression system would go over well with your players.
You guys seriously need to buckle down and figure it out. It’s like you guys start to come back and bring back what everyone loves about Halo while holding a huge “BUT” behind your back that kills all the hype everyone had.
