Infinite fan focus?

Since it seems like more people are becoming classic halo fans. Should 343i mainly focus on classic halo fans by 80% or 90% and keep/push away modern halo fans with Infinite and going? I think something like that could happen due to the art style going back to looking classic-esk (rip the h4/5 elites if they r gone in HI). If 343i does focus halo more to classic halo fans then it might make a lot more people happy and bring fans who left back at the expense of some modern fans leaving. Anyways yeah…

I’ve been playing since the first Halo. I’m not going away. Heck, I still enjoy playing Halo 5.

I would love a return to classic halo movement system and art style ( which is actually returning ).
They could make some spin off, like other ODSTs games or something about Spartan III or just Marines. With these subjects the games should of course be ‘classic-esk’. In this way they could have both old and new fans happy.

It does seem that the new Halo is going back to it’s roots but I am not sure how well the classic movement will feel in a 8th gen game in 2019.

Halo has always been innovating, this is just how 343 decided they should do it.

We don’t even know halo is going back to its roots. After h5 marketing, does anyone here actually believe 100% anything they say or show us at this point? With 343 there isn’t a single thing we can count on, even things the show/tell us.

Yes. Let’s not kid ourselves—there are more fans of the classic style than the new style. How do I know? Check the sales numbers. I’d be willing to bet that a fair amount of the younger fans stick around anyway given how many of them claim that they’ll still buy the game no matter what.

DOOM 2016 proved that it can work. id took the fundamentals of DOOM and updated them with modern tech; 343 took the fundamentals of Halo and threw them out the window.

Yeah, there are a few games that have done this.

I want classic Halo. But I also realize growth and improvement. As long as Halo is at its core, Ill be good with it.

Reach was the beginning of the end, but at the very least it still resembled something close to Halo. I still can’t believe there was a time when I thought that bloom and Armor-Lock was the worst it could get.

I was pretty optimistic at first, but after years of consistent screw-ups I’ve become disillusioned. Some of the decisions they make are so overtly counter to any form of common sense, and inevitably destined to fail, that I’ve begun to question why the studio is still working on Halo and not a new ip.

Well, hopefully my opinion changes after Infinite. The morsel of information they’ve provided so far is promising at the very least.

Same here, I definitely enjoyed the classic games and prefer their artstyle but when it comes to gameplay I prefer halo 5.

Thats what I’m hoping for, I also dont want all of there designs to just go away either they added some awesome armors like recruit, war master helmet, raijin, atlas, shinobi, hellcat, helljumper, hunter, warrior, and achilles. Would be a shame if those dont make into the next game.

From what they did with Halo 5, they would release it as DLC

Hard to say right now, but I’d be very shocked if armor isn’t tied to dlc and microtransactions. Not that I’m against wholey against that. I liked the updates to halo 5 even if some of stuff should’ve been in at launch. I just didn’t like the way you unlock armor however, would’ve much preferred a reach-like system with a option to spend really money if you want, that way whether you grind for credits or pay your getting what you actually want. Maybe save a few armor sets for very difficult achievement/challenges(non matchmaking/preferably obtainable solo)unlocks only since I know that’s a big deal for people.
