Seems way too easy for people to forget the gameplay is (in my humble view) the best in FPS. By miles.
Infinite campaign was good, Iām just more so speaking to the narrative thread throughout the trilogy. I personally donāt think theyāre strong enough to make campaign enthusiasts wait 5-6 years at a time.
I also had the ODST scope in mind too but even then, that is still pretty expensive and would take a lot of man power.
I think itās worth the risk though, i donāt think itās fair to any studio to have a state of the art Multiplayer and Campaign on day 1 of its release.

This new season update is not good lol. I feel like 343 is taking the piss out of me.
Whats not to like about it?

Feels more like a cosmetic update rather than an actual content update. Itās kind of mind boggling that once they finally feel like they nailed the battlepass and seasons concept, they moved on from it to this barebones operator system.
I guess theyāre winding down or whatever.

Hum what ? It could be better, of course, but the update is not barebones. But I guess itās subjective.
The only thing that disappointed me personnally is the MA5 weapon skin which isnāt close to the MA5D design.
Iām mostly only playing 3 to 4 games a week, as I wait for the Athlon armor to be added, so I can either farm it or buy it outright.
I definitely feel like the new battlepass structure could be improved upon, as this season does feel a little light so far in actual cosmetics to unlock.
That said, I think part of the problem is just perception. They updated the store to show more content at once, meaning the new season came with a lot more store content being available all at once - combine that with the new monthly structure meaning there is less battlepass content earnable up front and the whole thing looks a lot worse than it necessarily is.

I feel like the goal with the new structure will allow them to add and partition content out better than one big update.
Covenant forge items is a big ask since well thereās no Covent objects in the game so its all new.
But I understand that those have long term gains for players than short term fun for players.
Each their ownā¦ But I donāt feel like they are winding down
My thoughts about financial viability of your scenario are that it can be if a) itās a good sp game. Seems obvious but yeah and b) they use it to cross market the infinite mp alongside the sp relase. New map(s), weapons, skins etc. A new sp would probably be the best marketing for the mp possible.

These circular responses are tiring. Halo SP isnāt going away. Halo MP isnāt going away. Be patient, enjoy the games, books, shows and stop stressing.

Yep. Weāll see how they handle this āseasonā. So far, meh.
For me what makes a new season exciting are new maps, new modes, new weapons and new equipment. Just one or two added is enough for me. I donāt care for cosmetics at all. Iām sure itās the opposite with others.
When they move to this new cadence that does away with seasons, just one of the above seems fine. As long as we get another new thing when the new mission/whatever drops in 3 weeks. This time it was a map. Iād like to see a mode next.
I fell in love with Husky Raid and Iām digging Firefight. A new fun mode every few months would be ideal.

More firefight maps would be great.
But yeah sandbox changes really change the game. Bandit is one of the best additions.
If they can find a fun way to bring back the needle rifle Iāll be in heaven

I was thinking the exact same last night!
You know whatās funny, I used to despise Launchpad But for firefight itās a great map. I like it because the setting provides a little bit of context and lore, and the control points are well chosen.
