How do you think the future of halo will be? Starting with the guardians, will it have more free content? And the next ones? What do you think should be added or removed. Will the forge have land edition and IA? And the story, the flood will come back one day?
I think that 343 Will continue actively driving away the long time Halo fans with their insistence that the series needs these zany, over-the-top movement mechanics. I think that if they continue losing customers faster than they gain them, the series will come to an end sooner than people realize.
The trends in the shooter market show that gamers are starving for traditional gameplay mechanics. Just look at the reception of Doom’s campaign, the reception of Battlefield 1, and the backlash when it was revealed that the Modern Warfare remaster wouldn’t be available without having to buy Infinite Warfare. If 343 don’t pull their heads out of the sand and tone down the gameplay to be more like classic Halo, this franchise will die. Halo already plays second fiddle to Call of Duty, another franchise that needs to remember it’s roots. Trying to out-ridiculous CoD is no way to get back on top.
I do think they’ll stick to free content. I love that it’s consistent and they don’t show signs of moving to paid DLC.
In terms of what should be removed, I think it’s some of the messy playlists can be cleaned up, and some of the abilities could be nerfed.
I would rather the Flood don’t come back lol
