Call of Duty company Activision are now in charge of Halo following Xbox cuts, with Halo Studios stripped and reduced to a support studio for existing games.

Halo is officially dead. It’s been dying for a while, this seals it.

For long time halo fans in the aughts, this is literally the last thing any of us ever wanted. Halo was always a completely different game than Call of Duty, but business never understood that and so today officially marks the end, where the Halo we knew is gone, and anything new will be a CoD clone more than anything else.

      I remember the big CoD vs Halo “wars” back in the day, and this is exactly what I didn’t want. I liked Halo’s slower combat, more strategy combining shields, grenades, melee, and weapons. Now (5 and Infinite confirmed) it’s just another twitch shooter, with pistols/rifles that act like snipers and everyone trying to one shot. The few Infinite MP games I did play I was always alone in the warthog while others just went on solo. It’s not the same experience it used to be.
