    Sure, and if 343 studios hadn’t burnt so much fan trust with their last two releases people might be willing to go along with that. I think fans are just sick of not getting a good new Halo game and what they’re doing now seems to most fans like just a cash grab.

    It’s not like unreal engine is anything new either, they already contract out work so lots of talent to pull from for the actual technical parts.

        You missed nothing if you didn’t. 5 setup a great story, was morphing into a great galaxy spanning adventure finally ready to move on from covenant vs humans. And then they ignored it all for Infinite which felt more like a DLC for an unreleased game.

          I thought 5 was dumb. No! 4. 4 was dumb. 4 was the one where they said “uhh uhh covenant splinter faction, sanghelli are scary again”, right?
          I was so disappointed by the weapons too. They completely flattened all the interesting differences between factions, quite a feat when adding a whole third set of them.
          Except of course for the rocket launcher that shoots rockets that explode into rockets. That was neat.
