I understand the majority of players dislike for halo 5! Why does it seem like halo 5 is being sidelined until infinite releases? All the attention seems to be focused on halo mcc! Shouldn’t both games get some attention to keep players coming back?
It might boil down to an issue of player numbers at this point. I don’t know what the player count is for Halo 5, but ever since the MCC launched on PC with cross play, the player count has been pretty massive.
MCC also seems slightly better designed for long-term, seasonal support at the moment and it’s system will mirror what we get, to some extent, in Infinite. It’s makes some sense.
MCC had an especially broken launch, but the obvious MP potential there was extremely untapped. H5 was somewhat controversial (okay more than somewhat), but at the end of the day the tweaks and fixes it could use were mostly superficial or would slightly improve QoL without dramatically changing anything; that is to say that at the end of the day H5 doesn’t need a total revamp and future updates wont strike any massively untapped potential thats not already utilized in the game.
Because of finite resources it made more sense to fix MCC to what it should have been at launch and improve it massively with a total overhaul along side the production of infinite. Perhaps after Infinite is launched and MCC season 10 is complete they will have the resources to return to H5 again, but at least for now the way 343 has decided to spend its time makes a lot of sense to me.
They still need another massive update for 5. You’re not the only one thinking this.
