I prefer reach multi to 4. I also have a soft spot for the reach campaign
Admittedly I haven't read every single post but I don't see anyone acting hysterical over this. Maybe you guys could link a handful of the posts to which you are referring?
Microsoft is doomed! Confirmed!
(did I do hyperbole right?)

I know he doesn't owe us any answers. I was just pointing out that there really isn't any good response for him just because of how the internet works. Damned if you do and damned if you don't situation so we shouldn't expect anything.
If this were a new game series or something or a different studio, this might be cause for concern.. but it's fucking 343, literally everyone there lives and breaths Halo. The janitor could pick up the mantle and run it ffs. Chris Lee is good hands as far as I'm concerned.
one thing you can definitely count on is people creating countless paper tigers and operating with endless hyperbole.
Framing a relaxed conversation about the potential implications of this story as "hysteria" and that people finding the news potentially interesting as "transparent", for example.
like this.
who is this poster even talking to? lol
They are not rebooting game development, let alone none of the 343i's Halo games have been rebooted development wise.
It really isn't hard to find these posts. "doa", "I'm out", "typical 343" etc.
I wonder if it will still launch with the system. I haven't been a fan of the last two Halo games so to me this could be a great thing.
i don't really see this not launching with the next xbox. having a halo launch game is a pretty clutch move, and could move some serious units.
i can understand being worried for the game, especially for those who didn't enjoy 343's output but holy shit at some of the reaches in this thread lmao
I have big expectations with Infinite because I was so let down but halo 4 and 5. From someone who grew up without CE/Halo2/3/reach, I want to be excited about Halo again. MCC is all I play now.
Butchered the story from the book.
Noble team dies transporting Cortana because she's retconned into being 'the key' to winning the war, despite doing nothing of the sort in the following games.
Master Chief sleeps throughout one of the most pivotal parts of the saga when he should've been active.
The very end last stand part is alright though.
Well, I don't know about nothing. She stops Chief from firing Halo in CE and is the reason humanity finds out what the Halos are actually for. Learning the truth about the Halos is also a large part of the reason the Arbiter ends up siding with humanity, leading to the Great Schism, and ultimately the end of the war.
(Not that I disagree with your opening point about Reach butchering TFoR)
Literally in-between your two posts... And that's just this page. Take a quick look at the first few pages and you'll see more then your fair share of hysteria.
Okay, so part of my last paragraph is no longer valid. But the rest still stands. This will not have an effect on the overarching game systems already in place.
could this be related? Maybe MS wanted a bigger focus on live service elements.
No considering 343 stated last year year Halo Infinite will not have real money lootboxes which Halo 5 did have.
There were definitely memorable sequences for me. The guta battle, the finale at the top of the high rise in New Alexandria, Tip of the Spear and the spire, every second of Long Night of Solace and of course the finale.
Halo 3 definitely had higher highs but also lower lows. Reach was more consistent tho. With that said I probably prefer ODST over both of them, and Halo 3s campaign over Reach.
How can anyone on here possibly answer that? Besides, he would have left before 5 launched due to reqs no??
Personally, I think that he left because they changed the coffee machine
I figure of all things, level design would the last thing anybody could have issues with when it comes to Reach. Reach's level design was utterly dazzling with the most solid sequence of campaign missions ever seen in an FPS (Tip of the Spear, Long Night of Solace, Exodus, New Alexandria, The Package, Pillar of Autumn). Exodus alone is the closest thing to a masterpiece that Bungie has ever had.
Sorry, but Reach was the last good Halo campaign, everything after has been mediocre.
The gunplay in Reach was on the same level as Halo 3
Really? I thought Halo 4 had a great campaign. Sans the crummy final fight (generally no Halo game has been good with this lol) the set pieces and level design was great. Prometheans are dumb tho
What does that have to do with Halo 3's shitty gunplay compared to the rest of the franchise?
There are a number of reasons people no longer work at a company. Personal health. To pursue other opportunities. Misconduct. No point in worrying about it. If there's one thing I learned in 25 years of working it's that were all replaceable. There is another well deserving, hard working employee that gets to step up and bring their new energy. It's exciting.
I didn't say Halo 3's gunplay was shit? I said Reach's gunplay was on par with it, if your using your own opinion to twist it...then sure..go ahead
Halo 3 has the most random and inconsistent gunplay in the series due to poor design decisions, that is a fact.
I really hope Halo Infinite is good. This doesn't inspire confidence, but I'll still believe.
But...
But...
Oh if he worked on Halo 5 it's definitely a good thing. If you had told me before Halo 5 launched that there would ever be a Halo game that I don't finish, I'd of called you crazy.
