I really don’t understand what’s going on with halo first That makes no sense that 343 is giving so much attention to mcc and nothing to the most played halo game (halo 5)because that means that halo fans like us have the choice to play 10 years old games for the 100th time or play the best halo ever but with no big updates for POTENTIALLY 1 -Yoinking!- YEAR AND A HALF BEFORE INFINITE RELEASE WTF HOW CAN WE TALK ABOUT A RELEASE DATE FOR 2020 IN THIS SITUATION you add this to the ultra dumb way of how mcc pc is going to release (yes because we all know that ppl that don’t play halo are going to play halo reach for 1month to finally get halo ce that is obviously the best way to realse mcc thank you 343) so yes I don’t undersant what’s going on with 343 I really -Yoinking!- always defend you against the haters for me you succeed to make the best halo multiplayer with h5 but when I see this and other things like the old art style in infinite… I’m very scared
Many of the halo games that weren’t on PC have been asked to be added to PC for over a decade now, so I see this as a point to 343 for showing that they are listening to their fans. The release of each game individually is also a good thing because it allows 343 breathing room to make sure each one is done properly. And Reach coming out first makes sense chronologically, but also makes sense because current fans have been asking for Reach specifically to be added to MCC for years as well. Furthermore, there are plenty of people who have never played Halo who could potentially become new fans (and customers) of the franchise as it moves forward. Customers being a key word for 343 and their long-term financial planning.
I’m glad you enjoyed Halo 5 so much, but there are plenty out there who don’t think it’s the best Halo game ever, including me. So I’m not really all that concerned with 343 focusing on the games that most of the community still love. I’ve play MCC more than I care to admit and I still find each game incredibly fun to play. Though I do understand your concern that 343 might be focusing too much on the past and not enough on the future. But the fact that they’ve created an entirely new game engine suggests that they are very much focused on the future.
For art style, I get that some like the new direction and others don’t. To be clear, I don’t like the new art style, but thus far all we have to show concrete art style changes is a game engine demo that primarily features the UNSC and no other factions and their respective art styles. So for all we know, this will be a blend of the two art styles, which I could see as a very good thing.

Yeah, how dare they fix a game that has been broken for five years?
Also, lol @ “most played halo game”…
Actually, the fact that they are putting effort into MCC and Infinite, and not the most recent games tells me they actually care about where the franchise is going. Halo 4 and 5 had their day, MCC needed a fix badly, and Infinite is next.

agreed with both of your criticisms.
Yeah expanding into a market that has been clamoring for more Halo games for over a decade is a terrible move, it makes no sense at all why they would be focusing on what is essentially free positive PR and money.
Good troll post. Almost got me to fall for it
Whilst I agree with nothing the OP has said the one thing I do agree on is ‘being very scared of the future of Halo’ but I’m scared it’s going to explode in a good positive way.

And now look at you, complaining that things aren’t going your way.
Funny how things work.

Your fears are the things that a large part of the community has been asking for for years. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but Halo 5 isn’t as popular as MCC, and it’s because Halo 5’s mechanics make for flawed multiplayer gameplay, and the story -Yoinking!- sucked. The path of the Halo 5 art style and gameplay is and should be pushed aside, in favor of gameplay, story and art that actually has substance and has been proven to work time and time again. If Halo is to become a relevant game again it needs to pull from it’s roots, not from the -Yoink–basket that is Halo 5.
