Am I the only that was expecting Halo 3 with sprint? I’ve heard the campaign is great, but I wish the multiplayer had more focus, I was waiting for Team Doubles and now don’t know if I can keep playing the same 4 maps much longer.
I really wish they made multiplayer with Halo 3 playlists and 0-50 ranking system, Halo Infinite Graphics and Gameplay, proper DMR, Re-imagined popular maps from all the Halo games, that means a new take on Gaudian, Blood Gulch, etc… but not remakes, maybe Gaudian based in a rainforest and Human architecture instead of Covenant for example. The core of those maps already exist that can be imported to the new game with far less work than creating a new map from scratch.
I also really think the statement should be redacted because it’s not a good look for Halo or Microsoft at all, the fans make this game, and it really doesn’t take a genius to gather the best bits of all the prior games and put them into one new game with new things added here and there.
Any fan that is being extreme isn’t a fan, but even if you simply made Doubles and Triples versions of the existing playlists people would never have been mad.
Launching the Beta multiplayer as the Full multiplayer was never going to work and it’s just unusual that you wouldn’t delay it, I’ve been a PM and if any project isn’t delayed in some way then it’s probably not going to be finished when it launches, I don’t know if that already happened many times internally and you simply ran out of time, but if that’s the case we should have seen a roadmap with the launch with dates for new maps, dates for new playlists etc… It just feels really oddly managed.
