    I can’t wait for a new always online game featuring John Halo with kernel level anticheat which won’t work on Linux.

    They’re rebranding to Halo Studios and switching from an in-house engine to Unreal Engine for all future games.

      Sadly, that’s just the norm nowadays. I can hope they just release a $60 halo game like in the past, but that doesn’t make Microsoft as much money.

      I just hope for a not terrible live service at the bare minimum, but knowing Microsoft I doubt it

    Will be interesting to see if 343 just sucks at making Halo games, or if their engine was holding them back. Or both I suppose.

    I hope multiple Halo games confirmed means some singleplayer/coop story stand alone titles. Seperate and quatantined from the online live service multiplayer titles.

    That’s cool and all but I won’t trust Microsoft with anything anymore. I’ve really liked Halo in the past, but I won’t be buying anything they put out.

      343 is just a MS studio that they gave Halo to after Bungie made the good ones. Anyone important to making Halo what it was is long gone.

        Initially a lot of them stuck around for the formation of 343i though. Don’t know if they’ve stuck it out since though

          Well there was Joseph Staten, worked on CE/2/3/ODST, went with Bungie when they became independent, then rejoined MS and ended up being “Head of Creative” on Halo Infinite.
