Due to RU-vid being... well RU-vid, I have to post the Discord and Twitch links here instead! By the time this video uploads I will most likely be streaming so please say hi! Twitch: www.twitch.tv/sgtblairtv Discord: discord.gg/TkC8VrdzqU
@@prevail2983 yeah the coating is from the razor promotion! as far as I’m aware I think you can still get this coating but honestly I’m not quite sure!
I’m glad there are some people who still talk positively about the game. I’m just a simple guy who loves halo and I’m getting tired of the overwhelming “343 Killed Halo” videos. Just searching “Halo”, I get flooded with those
I think personally this operation has a decent chunk of content (with more to come) but if you aren’t interested then yeah it’s pretty much a shop update😅
Was I the only one who found the 'Rent Seeker' coating, to be extremely on the nose/blatant to the point of offense? I laughed when I saw it. Genuinely, it's absurd
@@ThatTallBrendan honestly I pay no attention to coating names really. So I can’t really say that I personally take offence to it but you have a valid point!
@@SGTBlairTV Hey no shame there (Unless we're talking about 'the bonobo incident', _that_ was bad) I just had a spit take since there's basically _no better phrase_ to describe 343i's relation with franchise/fanbase _Not that I'm going to tell you you can't enjoy the modern games you like.._ However I will regale you of the time when modern gaming was, on the whole, *pro consumer* That was real. It existed. It was taken. ... 🪖🥾🥽🪓 Here you are. These are _yours.._ Do with them what you will
@@ThatTallBrendan yeah the bonobo incident was particularly bad. I think that most of the anti consumer elements of this game come from “old” 343i (which mostly have left or have been laid off now) so I am excited to see what gets made after the studio rebuild but whilst I play infinite and enjoy it I haven’t spent any money on it in months because there’s just no reason too especially when a new game is coming soon!
@@SGTBlairTV Yeah.. I'm sure. CE is my baby, so the idea that.. _these guys_ are going to be retreading the soil makes me... *pessimistic..* _at best.._ However CoD 2019 proves that comeback reboots _are_ possible if done right. They went from getting trashed, totally shat on in the Infinite Warfare vs Battlefield One era, to the tables being _completely and utterly turned_ in the wake of MW 2019 and BFV. I want to see it happen. I want to believe. I want the PlayStation community to be the key to bringing Halo back in full force, but given the news, _knowing_ that 343 has all but _outright rejected_ any original Bungie creators who founded the game.. leaves a sour, foreboding taste in my mouth. Personally, I think MS knows what they're in for with Bungie devs, because they remember what they'd be in for. They know how to self-advocate. How to fight for/maintain creative control, and are creators first, MS lapdogs second. The same can't be said about the 343 old heads. ... But like you said, they're gone. I'll remain hopeful, but cautiously so. Not until I see official material
