More or less 343 has been killing its community. Civil wars on halowaypoint use to be about dmr vs br. Now everytime I go on there, its bungee vs 343i. Players are calling 343i a sell out due to the requisition pack. To top it off there isn't hardly anyone on the mmcc.Some players have gone back to reach while others have given up on the series. In the past 2 games there have not been player count on playlist. It takes some of my friends an average of 22 mins to play halo 3 matches. Some won't touch halo 5 for reasons like aim acceleration, random armor, bad teammates (Christmas delivers noobs) and server issues/threats. The game would have been bigger if it was an exclusive game that launched Xbox one a few years back. In short it felt like once halo 5 came out, they stopped caring about any of the other titles.
There was no grifball, infection or even bomb assault. For new players it was hard to follow the story and for us who knew, we still wanted to kill the didact. There's been no mention about the Janis key, capt cutter, the dorment flood on the halo rings or even Spartans team majestic. They brought buck back but Romeo who also takes up juns offer is never mentioned. You have to go out of your way to read the lore. And it doesn't feel like you really know blue team unless you read books, comic or movies. Reach introduced its Spartans better.
To top it off were that adds that made you feel like chief was evil. The commercials that built up a fake death. Oni acting like he was going to be put down. Yet we got a cutscene. A whole 3 mins of stand down petty officer, Osiris just standing there and all chief did was go AWOL. Recycle warden fights were the biggest obstacle of the game.
Guess the real question is of what percent were the hard copies got returned?
