Anyone who has beat the campaign and sat through the credits can tell you, the game is how it is because nearly it’s entire development was outsourced to 3rd party studios. The game that we ended up with is a layer cake of features piled on each other by different studios with their own methods and their own specific tasks.
Was this a poor decision by 343? Absolutely. Is it the fault of the current devs tasked to fix the abomination that was spawned from such mismanagement? No.
Be nice to the devs, guys ![]()
