That gives me absolutely 0 confidence that any passion is going to go into the development of this game. It's just another big IP microsoft is determined to extract value from on a regular basis. I guess that's what happens when you don't deliver and microsoft comes knocking. But microsoft doesn't even care if you deliver.
To be honest, Halo has already been in that state since 343i took over. With how bad Halo Infinite was, it would be an impressive feat for most developers to do even worse.
To its credit, Halo Infinite was probably the best art style 343 has ever done. So I do hope to see the art style continue. Though I wasn't a fan of the hexagons on the ring, that felt very lazy to me.
I didn't play the campaign for Infinite, but I thought the same thing. It just looks weird, and we hadn't seen anything like it on the other rings or Forerunner structures.
Jumping from 3/Reach/ODST to 4 give me culture shock. It just play so different and the story is nonsense and boring. Halo is done when Bungie said it's done.
I see this as a good thing. 343 sucked at Halo.
