Why does Halo 2 Classic get no love?

Volunteer modders with no executives making decisions out of their control.
Volunteer modders with no company projections deciding their work for them.
Volunteer modders with no deadlines that must be met before the end of the fiscal year.
Volunteer modders with close to a decade of experience on one of the worst PC ports after Custom Edition in 03.
Volunteer modders with only one game as their sole Project, and not a mess of a collection that was rushed out the door to promote a game that was critically divisive.

I’m not defending 343’s practices and decision making as a company (there were much better ways to handle the last 4 years), but you’re comparing Apples to Oranges if you think unpaid dedicated fans spending nearly a decade on a single game by itself, is in any way equivalent to the small offshoot of 343 having the herculean task of porting and fixing 10 different engines in the span of 3 years.

Summary

The guy lacks the ability to comprehensively read anything you say. If its not super simple and described to where a toddler could understand he wont get it or will get defensive, your post was probably too long for him to read.

Yeah I always wanted to play more Halo 2, but its not that common in MCC matchmaking but hopefully once it arrives in the Custom Games Browser I will get the opportunity to play it.

I just started playing Halo 2 and it has became my favorite Halo multiplayer.

I wish they added the clan system that was in Halo 2, how you can make your own in-game clans.

Sucks how they never added it back in. (spartan companies don’t count)

Halo 2 plays differently for a generation that wasn’t brought up in that era.

I just want to run my H2A modded maps! It been a year already!! Geezz!

My guess would be that it’s like harder to code stuff for halo 2 or something. I know Halo 2’s code was a mess when it first came out. Maybe adding a weapon skin would cause the whole thing to break down or something. IDK though. Maybe they are just saving classic Halo 2 stuff for some event or something.
