Microsoft is Abandoning Halo's Legacy... 

Yes that it was.

It was heresy

Give em the mark of shame!

Nay it was heresy!

"Nay! It was heresy!"

Because unfortunatley the shady tactics 343 uses makes enough money to justify the continuation of the current trends.

@@BrokenCircle1 Halo died on 10/27/15.

Halo is dead it just doesn’t know it

They literally aren’t this is just clickbait and bs based on the fact that development is over for MCC. Like duh. It was coming. The servers are still up and we will get a new collection in like 3 or 4 years everyone needs to smoke some weed and chill

Where have you been?? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YjZMRcpbK2E.htmlsi=QJSGoGdi0syLCZtn

That's why I say towards the end it isn't just Microsoft.

@@BrokenCircle1 You're an idiot. ​​⁠Halo 4 was bungies plan from the start and they passed the torch to the original 343, the ones who made 4. They then started making what 5 would've been. But then microslop intervened at some point and fired all of the 4 devs, replacing them with their own shills who made the garbage that we got on 10/27/15 and everything since then. Those bastards sacrificed their own flagship franchise on the alter political correctness.😡 The teasers and trailers for 5 and MCC from e3 2013 to e3 2015, leaked concept art, the h2a intro cinematic and terminals, and the Hunt the Truth podcast all prove this. And you got your head up your ass if you think any different.😡

Microsoft is definitely to blame for rushed games and continued games being made back to back. But a lot of the fanboys can't get the big picture that the subpar shitty games they're getting is 100% to blame on 343. They are the ones literally writing the stories and making the half ass games.. I've been hating on 343 for good reason going back to 2013 and all I got was a bunch of young idiots hating on me saying "you just can't accept change"

@@Wuunderboy 343 shills honestly that don’t make any sense to me for a number of reasons😂.

Glazing a corporation must be quite a sad life to live

What made you delist it?

​@@BrokenCircle1 - 343 Industries refusing to fix the collection for several years now. - 343I spending the majority of their time promoting their woke politics (and other unnecessary holiday bloat) instead of improving the games. - 343I's very toxic fanbase who have even stalked and invaded the privacy of others who are even remotely critical or merely concerned about the future of MCC. One of my devs from my company were among the targeted particularly by the likes of two creeps named Freya and Sokolov. I think it happened on the MCC's Steam Discussion Forums during last year's Women's History Month. I couldn't deal with the mess from that company and their new fans anymore so I delisted the game. I already played them all for the final time, and I still own the classic version of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 Vista. I still have Halo 3 for the Xbox 360 that I can just try to use on an emulator since my console succumbed to Red Ring of Death. I can manage with those instead.

Your hope hasn’t done any good. Unless you’re willing to take some initiative, then nothing is going to happen. This is what your hope gets you. Hope is complacency, and complacency is death.

Halo is dead it just doesn’t know it

@@oceanmantakemebythehand3965 🎅🎅🐡🥕

Agreed. It's never been this bad.

I think it's far worse than those. They are a dumpsterfire as well but Halo is on another level.

@@BrokenCircle1 I would agree since I'm a bigger Halo fan than I am of SW and Aliens. The one thing I can say about SW is at least they differentiate legends continuity from Disney canon continuity. Halo has had so many needless retcons to its lore that it no longer feels like just a military sci fi series anymore like it used to.

I agree!

'wanted to'. Did they really though? There is what they'll say openly and what they actually feel behind closed doors.

No, we as fans don't deserve the narcissism that we get from 343i and Microsoft as companies who are actively destroying the franchise's legacy and identity just to appease their corporate masters. There are plenty of other avenues to making their bank without it being egregiously embedded into MTX's. They have plenty of tools to fixing those kinds of problems in their games before they release, they simply chose not to because they're greedy and hungry for people to blindly hand them over money to support their corrupt corporate agenda's.

@@BrokenCircle1 Yeah that definitely is a possibility but with all the evidence and what leakers have said I think they probably did want to continue support but hey nobody really knows.

talk to the shill youtubers about that fans just have false hope

season 2 of the show is decent as a fan since 2001, i agree on the rest. humans were forerunners during the bungie era

How do you propose we stand up for ourselves?

@@BrokenCircle1 stop these shill youtubers

@@futurelama5123 And how do we do that?

@@BrokenCircle1 seems like a good market roasting shills n fanboys but people are scared of backlash ill make a Channel one day I dont care about a youtube career just the truth money is overrated

Play the Bungie Halo games that have fan services like insignia for Halo 2 on the original Xbox or sunrise for Halo 3/Reach on the Xbox 360, but personally I do play MCC from time to time if its mods or the campaigns, sometimes for multiplayer but that doesn’t cut the fact that the original port of those games beat MCC

The gaming industry is dying because a very powerful group decided to destroy it. It's not a coincidence all beloved gaming franchises are going down the dumpster at the same time.

True.

If only that were possible.

I hope they make a Megaman Legends collection for PC!

@BrokenCircle1 same. I also really want a sequel to the DmC reboot. Honestly surprised they haven't ported all their older games but then again they're a bit too obsessed with the RE remakes rn lol

You can be a fan of both you dont have to switch even they are a shell of what once was best to stick to the classics nothing to look forward to

@@futurelama5123 yeah. I kinda lost interest in Halo in general because of 343

Sadly that is their definition of 'support' As for MCC though no they had been releasing bug fix updates until very recently.

@BrokenCircle1 I swear they did ONE recently, but before that it was July, maybe. There were YTers covering this around that time.

i got money i just dont touch them

lol

lol no.

​@@BrokenCircle1 If Raven Software,Treyarch, or id software was given a chance to make a Halo game you know id be better than anything 343 has done in the last decade.

How about functional custom games?

What about the missions in halo 2? Game still crashes and xbox freezes up when playing outskirts or something... Naaahhh it ain't fixed:(

I forgot about that.

That’s how they get you, they drown you in misery and lies that you just eventually forget. I still remember Halo Online, and how they hired and then promptly fired the people who made that after they used them for nothing more than tokenism. They don’t respect anyone. Maybe abandoning these games is for the best. If it ain’t broke, or it’s less broke, don’t fix it.

Wait they fired them?????@@3ofSpades

@@BrokenCircle1 From what I heard a few years ago they never even hired them in the first place.

@@BrokenCircle1 And MCC is shit with the custom browser requiring anicheat.😡

Sad but true.

Well hopefully bungies next new installments are good because as long as 343 makes halo im done with xbox

@@Valkyrae123 I wouldn’t hold out hope for Bungie if I were you man.

Halo is dead it just doesn’t know it

Modern Bungie is horrendous.@@Valkyrae123

Yes. I feel the same way.

“Cash cows” buying stuff doesn’t change anything. If nobody bought anything there’s a chance they’ll just kill the series because it doesn’t make any money. The series either goes down the shitter further or stops completely.

Just like Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Battlefield, Wolfenstein, and other franchises now lost to time.

Yup.

Amen, I’ve BEEN saying this and watching people try to defend Infinite (mostly creators who make money from Halo content) is astounding. Like the game is exactly what you said a “Shell” a “husk” a bare bones experience that feels just incomplete

But at least the multiplayer is really fun, and feels like halo, I mean it's come along way since 2021 that's for damn sure. fuck 343 all you want, but I guess at least they are doing something with the game now, and it's actually pretty decent now. Just wish it was like that when it came out tbh.

@@jasperfox6821 halo was never just a multiplayer experience, and with the amount of time it took them to make this thing we should have gotten both sides of the game in a completed state, but we didn't. The fact that they had to dripfeed us content for 3 years until the multiplayer part of the game reached an acceptable state is not a saving grace, it's another nail in the coffin

@@jasperfox6821yea lets praise a team that took them 3 years to add stuff that should’ve been on launch, very moronic comment you just wrote boot licker

And that's why they shut it down. They knew they couldn't compete.

​@@BrokenCircle1 343i also tried to pretend they didn't want it closed down

I remember that. @@FlamespeedyAMV

@@BrokenCircle1 If the fucking custom browser didn't require anticheat I'd be ok with MCC not getting any more updates. MCC multiplayer is garbage without that being the case.

Passion > Mass Production

Yep. Its why OG Bungie jumped ship flipping off Microsoft

Yeah i think everyone was expecting an end of service date for new content/updates, but it's clearly still needing some work to really fix up to meet the original experience.

Based

Same, I haven't touched Halo 5 in years and I cant really bring myself to care about Infinite.

Thanks for the compliment but sadly they wont. I'm sure in a bit they will all arrive and bash this video left right and center.

cattle don't wake up. they move from one dogma to the next.

They won't. They're too busy making their little episode breakdowns on that gyid awful tv show masquerading as Halo

MCC has some of the worst mod support I've ever seen. Not that it is the worst just the worst I've seen.

Yep, MCC deserves better than this. They know we are rightfully upset, it's the upper business people in charge at Microsoft deciding to disrespect and demishing MCC's potential even further. We still need more support for MCC since this is the only collection that you can play officially with modern optimizations in higher framerates on modern xbox's and PC's.

Cool!

Insignia sucks tbh. MCC all the way.

Have you tried it yet? I might buy an original xbox again and hop on. If it's good that is. Dont wanna waste my time or money @@jasperfox6821

@@jasperfox6821 Isnignia launched today, what are you on about?

Except Insignia isn't going to take off since it only has less than 200 people playing it now. If it isn't easily accessible like the MCC, not many people are going to bother playing it (since you have to have a modded system to play it) except for the few people that care about the OGs.

Real

But Infinite still exists. So does the awful TV show. They still control it. Frankly I kind of hope Microsoft puts Halo on indefinite hiatus.

There's always fan made stuff to enjoy, but the main games are well beyond buried.

Yes I do think Sweetbaby had something to do with Infinite and groups like them definitely had a say in Halo 4 and 5. I don't have Helldivers 2. It is an only only game I think so I don't really like spending money on those.

@@BrokenCircle1 Not 4. 4 was bungies plan from the start and they passed the torch to the original 343, the ones who made 4. They then started making what 5 would've been.

4 just changed way too much with the art and had bad encounter/enemy designs.

@@LeMicronaut I was fine with the art change. My issue is mainly the limited ammo capacity. I don't know what they were thinking with that.

There are loads of things that still aren't fixed.

@@BrokenCircle1 Indeed. On console it crashes when playing H2 campaign in the remastered graphics. For me at least. All the time. Can only play it in classic graphics. Not the biggest issue but still an issue.

@@nik271290 That is a big issue considering a main feature of the game was H2A...

Fair enough. Thanks for watching.

Np, thanks for making this video.

Na Reach, odst and wars was totally worth my parents money

Brudda halo 4 wasn't even that bad though, and made more improvements than it fumbled tbh. And some complaints were downright nonsense. Case in point was art style changes, as if every halo entry didn't shake up the art style anyways. As for the story?? Simply too many threads at the same time, but the core of it was foundationally halo. And honestly a very good entry when you did some further reading outside of the game (which is the flaw of halo 4's story - not explained clearly in game and doing too much at once).

@@LuffyTheLabrador story wise I meant.

@tristanstebbens1358 yeah halo 4 was so good it got dlc after.

every halo after ce was a cash grab... and reach was better then 3 btw

I hope the entire Xbox brand goes under. They have treated their players like absolute dogshit for years.

Yes. I've been saying that for years. At least Star Wars still has some bright moments like Mandalorian. At least Star Wars keeps its aesthetic. At least Star Wars has had more than a few good games release in the last decade.

It didn't had to be so with what Microsoft or 343i done to the franchise, but unfortunately they did all of this just so they can stay relevant to modern gaming that has dumb low standards so their can make their money with bare minimum effort for people to buy their garbage product.

True. They take the laziest least skilled path.

Well I didn't know...I guess it's just as bad on consoles then.

Ah. Thanks for paying attention and sticking around!

You’re welcome. Congratulations on getting married. Hopefully that works out well for you. Also, on a different video you said that you’ve mostly been busy and that’s why you haven’t uploaded or responded to people for a while. I remember for a while I didn’t want to believe that Microsoft abandoned Halo. I also bought into the hype around Infinite because all these people who were previously very critical of 343 were singing its praises before launch. Now we know about stuff like the Forerunners program. More on the topic of 343 and Microsoft being beyond incompetent and out of touch, with the EXPLOSIVE success of HellDivers 2 people have been saying we should get a Halo version with ODSTs. In response several ex-343 devs responded with hints that at one point they wanted that. One of the guys who worked there for 12 years came out and said that while he was there they pitched 20-30 Halo games, and one of them was VERY similar to HellDivers 2. 343’s leadership and Microsoft shot it down. Now you have Phill Spencer sperging out about how it’s bad for the game to be exclusive to PlayStation (and pc), when he and the rest of Microsoft should instead be introspective about this. I really hope they’re kicking themselves right now. They’ve also fumbled Gears of War, Rare, and now that they’ve purchased Activision Blizzard they’ll most likely make that even worse.

@@shreksnow1918 Thanks. Yeah I heard about the Helldivers stuff. Sad. With Microsoft acquiring more things the future of mainstream gaming looks bleaker than ever.

@@BrokenCircle1So jealous of you.😭

If I may pitch in, the closest we ever got to Helldivers was Spartan Ops in Halo 4. You could see the phantom of what Helldivers 2 is today back in H4 Spartan Ops, but it was poorly executed like basically everything else 343 has tried to do.All I can do now is dream about how awesome a Halo ODST 2 would have been on a vast map with covenant patrols prowling around.@@shreksnow1918

Thank you.

So I've been hearing. I guess console is quite bad.

-343 touches old, perfectly functional games -corrupts them and makes them worse retroactively

Never shilling over here.

It's also the people who buy into these gimmicks and stupidity for these companies to continue selling more and more of. We should stop pulling out our wallets, and put your money where you feel most valued by whatever game or company that does actually care about the game's they create.

Yep, they definitely splattered the golden egg that bungie laid after they left the halo franchise. It's sad that they destroyed this franchise's legacy and identity even further just so they can use halo as a cash cow to make money in such a disrespectful and greedy corporate attitude. What a shame.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

yup sadly

Interesting insight though I don't think Halo can survive another 2 games under 343. It's already on deaths door.

@@BrokenCircle1 They have enough of an audience for a few million people still, and they're still profitable, I think it will last long enough for another studio to come in. The biggest problem is that it's not a growing endeavor or creating anything that is increasing revenue or sustainable income. If I had to choose a studio for halo, it would have to be either id software, or the people who did Space Hulk: Deathwing (enhanced edition). I think id software is owned by Bethesda, so they already have that avenue open, and thinking about it, it's extremely likely we might get id software in the next 4 years.

@@BrokenCircle1You say this as if they’re not getting stupid amounts of money from the cosmetics and that their merch, tv show, and other monetized avenues aren’t doing well. I was one of the mongoloids who gave a TON of money to them for the skins…they exist. I think that alone is good enough for another game to be made.

@@D00dman they also have to pay the people a wage to make the content. You probably pay 1 or 2 peoples wages by doing so depending on how much it is. The ip was rented out to paramount, so they don't make money off of the show, but off of selling someone a lisence to use the ip. Also, I haven't heard much about the animated halo series, is it good? I always played the games, but after reach the story just felt different to me, and I couldn't tell if they over complicated it, or they over simplified it. I would play the campaign for the story, and it was a good story, but it seems they just wanted people to play mp like another call of duty that no one would invest any thought into. Bungie filled out everything with 3 being the culmination of the ideas, and reach being the expansion of ideas. Odst was a alternate look at things, and halo 2 was cleaning up and improving things from halo. With 343, they tried to pretend they were bungie already, they used core ip pieces and went their own direction with things instead of expanding upon old concepts. They were just surface level emulation of what bungie was doing, and only once they got to infinite did they start to just barely understand what a halo game is, and how bungie was looking at things, and now at this point I can say they can start to make things and expand upon them and continue and bring life to the legacy. I still have some major issues with the weapon, she's either a really simplified and weak willed cortana, or she's not really helping you and she has alternative goals. I just don't appreciate the way it was done, and her lines are just really cheesy or just low quality writing, she just doesn't have anything below a surface level, and if she did it's pretty much going to be a retcon or a "we forgot" which just tells you they suck at writing and re-writing to add complexity or depth to characters, or to create a more honed piece of work. I do appreciate the realistic grenades, vehicles, and weaponry, but realism isn't exactly what I want, it's semi realism. Also, when did voice lines and stuff stop having deeper meanings or double meanings, like in Disney I would go back and watch them and say "they really said that!" but now it just doesn't exist, people aren't sneaking funny shit in the movies anymore, people aren't adding a different backwards vocal for a flood music track, and people aren't being independent and taking any kinds of risk even if it could be a cool addition. People just fill the quota, there's no passion and everyone's living like the end is going to be tomorrow like nothings ever going to get better, but that's the problem, no one is trying to make things better even at a risk so nothing changes. Hopefully this gets turned around quickly and games will have life again.
