It’s clear what 343 is doing - we NEED to address this 

I know what Halo 7 needs. A new studio.

"343 has ruined people's trust", yeah, back in 2015, have not gained it back since

Even as a Casual Player who irregular plays Infinite I'm like WTF are they doing

We're never getting a proper grifball mode with a proper hammer, are we...........

Halo 7 needs to start with Master chief waking up from cryosleep after the events of Halo 3 with Cortona saying "oh hey Chief while you were napping I injected some horrendous simulations to keep your mind trained but the real story starts now."

Can't wait for Halo 7s micro transaction riddled game in 2030🙃

Dissolve 343 Industries and give Halo to Certain Affinity.

It's crazy how Halo has one of the most passionate and dedicated communities that has stuck around even when the company making the game continuously spits in our faces over and over and over for 10+ years now and somehow microsoft doesn't give a shit to not be cheap on the franchise and put people in charge that ACTUALLY love Halo. I go back every once in awhile and watch the old Halo 2/Halo 3/Halo Reach ViDocs from Bungie and they give me a sense of comfort remembering how beloved Halo was not just by the community, but by the developers. Bungie back then were so passionate, having LAN dev tests and just laughing their asses off shit taking during their matches. It was what Halo was all about. A fun somewhat competitive but mainly chill multiplayer FPS to hop on, play some slayer or some ranked, swap to a mess-around mode like grifball or zombies or action sack and just laugh at the wild shit that would happen. I still want Halo to get back to that point but honestly I thought Halo infinite was our best shot and they blew it so horrendously bad. Maybe some day it will return to those great days of fun but I've gone from hopeful, to slightly optimistic, to indifference.

I love halo and always will 343 just loves to keep trying to prove their better than old Bungie and never seem to align their values with the players.

Born 2000, played Halo since 2004. Halo is in my blood. But I will not buy the next game no matter what they promise. I was gonna boycott after 5 but they lied to get me back. I’m done w halo.

The opening line "343 has ruined people's trust". I immediately paused the video to see when this was posted and I was beyond shocked to see that this was posted 5 hours ago and not 9 years ago. Must be living under a rock brother cuz this is very very old news.

We are doomed i have a bad feeling they haven't learned anything. It's all a money grab. Microsoft and 343 have ruined Halo.

Remember when they made a big deal about droppod updates? Did we ever get any of those?

See the things is, people always say “let’s hope 343 learned their lesson with this game. And they’ve said that for all 343 games. They will not learn. They want their own story. They want their own universe. They don’t wanna give fans what they want. I will say infinite is the best out of the 3 but they used it to try getting more of our money while also giving us less than we deserve. Why would they spend the time and money giving us campaign dlc that only a handful of the player base will buy (because most infinite players didn’t even bother buying campaign) when they can just get free maps made by forgers, put together some cool armor sets that you have to buy, shove in a limited time game mode, and call it a content update. The armor that you see in the shop, like what was said in this video is likely armor that was planned for a season pass but now one set costs as much as 1/2 or 2 passes combined. So they’re literally doing the BARE minimum and making far more money than if we got what we wanted because they don’t have to use resources to get us this content. Yeah I’d buy more if I got what I wanted but then that would require them to actually do something. Like I said, 343 isn’t going to learn. If halo 7 manages to be what we all want then I’ll grab my shit out of the toilet, eat it, shit it out again, and eat it.. AGAIN.

I used to say that Halo was my favorite video game of all time, now I can confidently say that it used to be my favorite video game. Edit: Spelling

343i disappointed us. And? What's new?

It’s unfortunate that this game was promised to be a 10 year long game. It is barely 3

I doubt halo 7 will launch complete every game they've made was incomplete

I rather see them stand by halo infinite and actually start caring about it. Sick of studios making games and then discarding them and leaving em to die. Studios need to be held accountable and maintain these games properly and not haphazardly like we’ve been seeing over the last decade.

So it wasn’t Bonney Ross fault…….it was 343 and Microsoft all along

Modders have brought the halo 1 magnum, smg, battle rifle into halo reach, all with custom audio and pickup icons, and basically developer grade quality, modders have been adding new weapons and vehicles for years and years now in halo 3 and reach, why cant actual developers do it?

I hoped for large sized halo games to come out, I feel like the large ships and large scale battles that should go on between them and the lore behind the ships don't ever get enough credit so after Reach I hoped...but I have yet to see any progress

Give halo to ID software, let's see what they can do with it

I'm sorry but I don't see Halo 7 being developed for 2 years already. Maybe a year max, I don't see any news about Halo 7 for another year or 2, more likely 2.....

still waiting for splitscreen co-op in any recent halo game. went to reinstall MCC the other week to play with my nephew, only to realize that the PC version (and only PC) has ZERO splitscreen co-op... in the ENTIRE 5 GAMES OF THE MCC! what other franchise rips out core features that defined the franchise has survived? i literally cant introduce the next generation to a generation defining franchise, its like 343 want this shit to die.

We questioned our trust with 343 in 2012, we lost it in 2015.

I've started playing doom alot more because of this

I love Halo, i will always have hope for halo reguardless of how "bad" things get.

This is what we all collectively want for Halo 7. You ready? Larian Studios

When a studio takes over a game franchise with preestablish story and fan communities. The new studio must follow a handful of rules. 343 refused to follow the simple rules. If they had followed the rules, things would be completely different today. The rules are as below. - Stay true to the pre-established lore. Do not alter or change the current known storyline or rapidly change the story between the new games. It causes confusion for fans. - Keep the current art, graphics and design style (you can add new ideas, but don’t change the existing style) - keep the game mechanics and play style the same. If you have to alter the mechanics and play style. Do it in a way that feels natural for the player and not something completely new. Fans played the game for a reason, so don’t upset current fans by changing what they like. - if you you was to be experimental with the art, design, mechanics or gameplay style. Create a side-game based off a current lore story or create a new side story that you can play with. (fans are less likely to get upset with a completely different style of game if it is a side game and not the main line game) - listen to the community. If you had changed something, or introduced something that upsets the community. Don’t just go in there and alternate it thinking you’re going to fix it. Talk to major influencers or representatives within the community to figure out exactly what people dislike about it. Because it could be something so small, but has a major influence. (Halo 4 plasma pistol power consumption. Something small and easily fixable, but had a major impact on the community. Making a old reliable weapon, almost useless at times because the power drained so fast)

The only real complaints I have with 343 industries with Halo Infinite's multiplayer is that there's no playable Brutes or Elites, or other Covenant species, now the Covenant and Flood palettes for Forge have been released. I'd like to test out armour skins in Forge, but I can't really complain about the store because the multiplayer is supported by the people who can't resist buying pretty dresses for their Spartan.

0:15 hey thats me yapping in the chat!

It would be cool if halo 7 is a reboot of the series and actually pick up where the halo 3 left off. 343 halo series never existed.

as someone who WAS a halo fan back on the 360 I remember being disappointed in halo 4, then halo 5 was when 343 burned that bridge. I remember some one asked me if I would play the next halo in the middle of 5 life cycle. at this point I had already left. and I said "if I even get a hint that halo six wasn't good I'm not spending a dime on any halo game as long as I live" I can thankfully say to this day I have kept that promise. I have let go and if you ever want things to change you should let halo die, ps go play helldivers 2

Halo fans are suspecting the worst about 343i, we maybe right. If they cant fix Infinite to standard, what hopes have they left us with the next game.

343 is so clueless I have no idea how Microsoft didn’t pull the plug yet if it was EA or someone else 343 wouldn’t survive halo 5

Im honestly just kinda sad. Halo has been such an integral part of my life and such a source of inspiration for me. It is a big reason why I became a writer. I really just feel cheated. (Whether that is justified or not) That i have essentially been waiting for halo to go back to what it was for over a decade. Thats over a decades worth of spent excitement and utter disappointment after disappointment. I dont like when people say "Halo just needs to die" as if its new reputation ruins the old games. I just wish it would stop being abused. Halo is not something i want to walk away from but it almost feels like im being forced to.

to people who want bigger infinite updates, PLEASE stop asking for more stuff. that game is SO INCREDIBLY MONEY HUNGRY! i'd MUCH rather them work on a better halo game then add 50-100 more 20 dollar cosmetics and sell me the color blue for 10 bucks. (if they can even manage to make one actual video game and not a glorified shop.)

Adding plants will not save the game, adding more functionality like more sandbox items and more forge scripting like the ability to animate large objects.

343 are now being led by a much more competent management team. They ARE milking out what they can from Infinite. But with all the fixes they've made to infinite - I'd rather the next game took all of the positives with it... The maps our forgers have created over the past year are bloody phenomenal. I only hope they can make the same level of quality in the next one.

Honestly I stopped playing infinite indefinitely because it sucks everything is stuck behind a paywall it’s disappointing that’s why I’m playing other games like helldivers and such I don’t want to put up the halo armor yet but I might just have to

Just ordered some classic Halo posters 1,2,3 and odst ahhh the good old days.

What halo needs the most is modded game types in multiplayer just a lot of options for social casual players who r sick of team slayer and objectives

I don’t know what to say about 343 anymore tbh no matter how much we want something new they don’t want to do anything idk if it’s 343 or Microsoft but Halo just is not the same and it’s a shame it used to be one of the greatest games ever made

all new content is done by community, 343 hasnt done much since season 4/5

If they started working on Halo 7 in the time frame that infinite has been out, I'm afraid the mindset for halo 7 will not differ too much in the slightest even with all the changes from withing the company. Halo may just overall be doomed to plumet until Microsoft no longer wants to fund it.

Hey guys, some of you aren't aware but the funeral for Halo was held back in 2012. Those of us who attended no longer grieve, though we laugh at everyone still in denial.

I just hope they keep the infinite art style and continue this story.

I can not under any circumstance look forward to halo 7. I love this franchise, I love the community, I grew up with halo. And it sucks that 343 and microsoft screwed over halo so bad. The main franchise needs to be handed of to another studio. 343 can work on spin off series. Halo wars was honestly really good.

I'd rather them just say they're plans with infinite then keeping us waiting around and wondering. If there are no plans for any new sandbox items tell us.

I won't be excited for Halo 7 until a few weeks after release, I just have zero trust and confidence in 343. Therefore I need to see the full product and what longevity it would provide

It's honestly quite astonishing to see just how far 343i will go to screw over the remaining playerbase. In all honesty while the operation event pass now has more agency because of the addition of SP it seems to me that they keep coming up with new ways to devalue the pass while making it more unaccessible to complete in a timely matter so as to push players to spend real money on credits to either make it permanent or autocomplete. We used to get credits, xp boosts, challenge swaps, and xp grants with each iteration of the Battlepass, and they keep slowly chipping away at it so we don't feel it as much when you get barely anything in return.

The best thing they did the next update is the flood forge pallet and the EMP plasma pistol thingy and that is all

All i knew about halo was that free demo on my brothers computer Id spend too much time on the beach dying, fighting, respawning, dying more, getting further, dying, and driving around Id sometimes kill everything on the top of the map and one day.. i found there was an underground to that imposing outpost I ventured in to find two hunters (i think is what those big dudes are called) then die again, then after i ran past them i got scared of the darkness and never played again Ofc the needler was my favorite gun since that was my first person shooter and i was awful at aiming

Halo Infinite was the first Halo game that made me go back to playing the previous title. I enjoyed it's campaign, but it's multiplayer was just disappointing. I think the only way to save this franchise now is to simply take it out of the hands of 343 and just let the fans have at it.

Should’ve allowed us to buy credits with spartan points

343 should of added flood infection from halo 4 to go with the map. But it's too late now.

I hope in the future they just had a Halo infinite to MCC with Halo 5

I jump back between MCC and Halo 2 on Insignia Xbox Live

The exchange being completely reliant on FOMO kills any part of me that wanted to keep playing.

I wish halo 7 will continue halo infinite's campaign DLC story

Thankyou Halo Follower, you do good things for this community. I was excited when Pierre took over on Infinite, but was shattered when they pulled support and stopped seasons, especially after the game finally had some consistency and stability. Since then, decisions on the useless operations, ridiculous cosmetic pricing, and implementing Ezy Anti Cheat that clearly sucks, has led me finally uninstall the game. The comparison to an abusive ex is so accurate, they aren't allowing fans of halo to have any hope, as the decisions they are making now is leaving lots to be desired. It's like 343 was formed to secretly destroy halo, the tv show should have inspired more players, I mean just look at Fallout, instead we got a pile of trash. At least we get to look forward to your releases, very excited for those ❤

Halo Infinite's like those Steam indie games made in Unity with stock assets.

Im black pilled on this. 343 wont change, and they have shown time and time again , they do not GIVE A DAMN about halo. They care about how much money Halo can make them .

Personally I feel ignored. I’ve always played as an elite. Makes me feel like a alien assassin type deal. I feel like we are long over due for a third playable species. We’ve went backwards and it sucks.

Halo needs more focus on the campaign. The whole reason i was hyped for a new halo each time was the campaign.

It’s not even the games anymore. All issues stack: the tv show, the retcon story form books, the management is all stacking and it’s effecting the fans

man, i just wanted the old shotgun back

What sucks is that I try to stay positive, because what I believe and learned is that always having a negative mindset you always miss the best parts. However I always had this feeling that Halo was sort of destined to be like this. Microsoft to this day doesn’t care about the title that made Xbox well… *Xbox* and 343 keep fumbling, they have good ideas but they change, remove, or add stuff that isn’t needed as well as necessary. Even if Bungie stayed comparing to who they are now, Halo probably wouldn’t be in a better position. Like even if a new developer is tasked with making a Halo title that’s such a big risk and not as simple as people think. People want Certain Affinity to make a Halo title but they forget they made Halo 4’s multiplayer (although they made H2A’s multiplayer which I didn’t think it was bad). Being a Halo fan sucks right now, plain as day. We had a game that had so much potential and amazing ideas but fumbled so hard because of greed as well as terrible management, and a TV show that has so many lows man. I want Halo to succeed, so many things need to be changed with Microsoft and 343, no matter how big our voices are heard they aren’t listening. I hope for a better future but only time will tell.

In halo 7 we need custom games like halo 3

halo 4 I liked a lot, enjoy everything about it. Halo 5 Had a good story, I didn't really play multiplayer that much on 5. Halo infinite I played 1 time a year to check back in but nothing got better. So I would really like to see a different studio do Halo. Honestly any of the famous story dev studios would be fine with me. Hell I wanna see what a Fromsoft interp of Halo would look like lol.

We have already told that when they were in the beginning stages of halo infinite that they chose not to go all in with this game because the halo name would carry it , why try if you don’t have to is the mentality they had

If they give us 3 new guns and 2 new vehicles then I'm happy. I genuinely miss halo 5 compared to infinite updates.

I love halo give me more campaign I really wish they would focus on the story and keep infinites multi-player how it is and build on it

I’ve considered making my life dedicated to fixing halo, I have so many amazing ideas that seemingly come so easy to me. How we got to the state it’s in now is baffling. They desecrated halo with their filthy footsteps. Also I like how they just straight up ignore halo wars, halo wars 1 & 2 is better than the games 343 made.

I said this a long time ago on this channel and everyone talked shit and called me a noob and told me I don’t know what I’m talking about lmaooooo.

They should at least add a way to play multiplayer armor in the campaign just for some fun variations like Reach

09:00 😂 "fk it, why not?"

I am happy with the exchange side, it looks like the exchange points are really high though 😒 in saying that forge Flood themes look awesome but looks like they're putting more efforts in forge than the overall multiplayer. Still waiting on classic firefight, KOH firefight makes the map feel limited because we have to be in the hill than exploring to find enemies. Halo Infinite is sort of moving in an okayish direction I just hope the updates get better from here.

They need to eat corn the long way

infinite had soooooooo much potential man. it was so close to being the game we want. think back to bungie's halo games... we had heat maps for matches. we got weekly? updates from frank oconor.. like there was real communication. i hung on that dudes posts.

Halo 7 make us believe please Edit:want halo btggf cortana and that real feeling the mystery the gore the horror the emotion the set pieces the environments turn pilot into a badass sarg that helps support you from the sky

Not paying $80, NO WAY I'm paying $130. Build it and they will come.

That happened back in 2012. One day y'all will be fed up with them. Incredibly, that day was not many years ago.

At this point Microsoft owns a ton of studios. License Halo to a bunch of them. Let’s see what we get. Cuz I love a lot of what we got in the HI campaign. Love the grapple. Love the open world, but the lack of a complete story hurt a little bit. We started the game pretty much where we finished it. Nothing truly moved forward or set a stage for what’s to come. Halo epitaph and outcasts did more for the lore than a mainline fuckin game. Honestly 343 needs to ride the bench for a couple games. Let a couple dif studios give us some spin offs or some much needed new ideas. Someone revive that Halo MMO. Flood horror game HiddenX sold me on years ago. Something. Microsoft just needs to stop making promises, have everyone shut up and just do the work and let that speak for itself. They need to learn again that the best way to make a successful game, is to make a good fuckin game. The industry is so consumed with shareholders and profits. Live service is dogshit and it’s killing games.

“I’ll pay 130 bucks for that” *bombastic side eye*

0:22 THERE I AM GARY

I just want a complete game man... a polished, finished game with a good-great campaign, a progression system with reach-like armor customization/unlocks, forge, and plenty of gamemodes at launch. We were able to do this stuff in the mid 2000's-early 2010's, it astounds me that as technology has improved and profits have been record breaking development has regressed more and more

Personally, I liked Halo Infinites for the most part. There were definitely issues I didn't like. I didn't like how cortana said that the endless was worse than the flood. I didn't like most of the music. I didn't like that you couldn't kill your fellow marines (just for the laughs like in Halo CE and Halo 2). I hope they don't say the endless are the precursors. I would rather keep them as a mystery. I hope Halo 7 doesn't kill off any villains. The original halo games had you fighting the same main bad guys, which was nice. Halo 4, you're fighting one person, and then halo 5, you're fighting another. I don't play multi-player so I can't comment on that

This reminds me of WB saying they were just gonna refresh the DC universe so anything that happened in Aquaman and blue beetle didnt matter. So no one went . sales were low. No one is gonna keep spending money in this game that will just be abandoned eventually because 343 will just stop supporting it to push Halo 7.

I feel like it’s insanely rare any live chat on an official stream is positive or even neutral. Anyway, my hopes for Halo 7 is just campaign. I’m actually I love with Infinite and feel like it’s be crazy if they made the same game after all they’ve done multiplayer wise and think it’d be good if 343 was just the campaign team primarily and they have a multiplayer team that keeps updating Infinite like a 2.0 launch with 7, then 3.0 at 8 and so on.

this a perfect instant for the use of the meme saying "first time?" I've been saying this since Halo 5 cause it's been stupid they are treating Halo like a piggy bank of so-called "content" and the mtx has all but killed the gameplay experience.

Doesn't feel like it ever got out of beta :-/ Flood palet looks awesome, they better be in H7

I want firefight customization with exp gained the old guns to be brought back with the new ones and the subspecies’s to have more variety in the enemies and how they look mk6 amor core and complete cross core customization all of this for halo 7

What’s wild to me is RIGHT when things got on track the foot was taken off the gas pedal. The last actual season was a huge success and got the game where people wanted it to be for the past few years. On one hand I get that they want to move resources to the next game to make it what they wanted infinite to be while starting with a better foundation, but it’s so frustrating to see how close infinite got. We tasted it, they showed it was possible. Infinite can be successful with sandbox updates alone from here on out. Just bring back old weapons every couple months until the games done. Such a simple concept.. no need to redesign functionality, balance is basically baked into their designs..

Instead of making Spartans so plentiful and have 343's vision of humanity that of being stronger, I personally would've liked it if humanity were beginning to pick up the pieces of themselves after the Covenant-human conflict. Then the prometheans rising could've meant that humanity also has to get what's left of them just as the prometheans were picking themselves up. The promethean designs where they are in shards (the floaty parts of the guardians for example) could mean that the prometheans are in pieces and the composer or whatever could bring back an AI that makes the prometheans whole (in some way beyond the physical). This promethean AI could be like a cousin (or something) of the Halo ring technology and John has to stop the Didact from resurrecting the AI and this also could allude to cortana's digital death and John has to fight enemies like the covenant in a final mission of 4, 5 or whatever without Cortana. The Covenant reveres/ allies themselves with the Prometheans but really they want the Promethean composer tech as they believe that tech is more powerful than the Halo rings and ultimately want to keep that power for themselves. The flood are still part of the story somehow etc. Idk this is just fan fiction

I can’t say I’m not a little disappointed about this but I’m I’ve been playing since launch and I’ll continue to play infinite I love halo but I’m not going as far as to stop

I have hope for the next one because it’s UE5. Means contractors actually know the engine Infinite had its shot and time to move on

On a real note tho infinite really does need more it has always felt incomplete af

I think the next Halo will release its MP at the very least on PS and other platforms as well but its a little too late cause that brand is tarnished hard, Halo can always come back but it's gotta be great and above expectations.
