Halo 2 is massively overrated.

In what sense? It ushered in Xbox live. The multiplayer basically pioneered many multiplayer features. The combat and gameplay was next to none.

The only thing I will agree with in regards to it being over-rated is the campaign. I don’t like the mission structure. At the time it was an amazing game. But it’s replayability now is bad. In my opinion it’s the worst campaign in the series besides 5.

Im one of those that thinks Halo 2 success had a lot more to do with the infrastructure of xbox live boosting it and the novelty of console gaming at the time.

And yes the Halo 2 campaign structure is pretty bad.

Can we talk about Phil’s shelves, please, ERA? I 've been dying to talk about the shelves with you all day, OK?

You are welcome

Let us decipher Phil's code

Phil Spencer went live earlier toady. And as usual, we have a background and lots of pieces of puzzles in there to look out for! Let’s go [20210224_001043]

@LifeForms

Was it u who flagged my post? Whoever did flag it, it has not made any difference. If you dont like my post thats a u problem.

No it wasn’t me who flagged your weird post. I just gave it the only response that I felt it deserved.

Possible sign Sega is going to be very entrenched with Xbox:

XboxWorlds (WorldsXbox)

It looks like they are really dedicated to gamepass to the point that they’re taking about what it means with their huge IP portfolio moving forward in their job listings.

I have to think that will mean some publishing deals etc in addition to just gamepass stuff.

@andrew_schmidt

There’s a listing that is for an unannounced open world AAA game from Xbox global publishing from back in November

Ah, but that could be anything, and I hope it is. Give Crackdown some rest for a while, maybe forever. Or is there more pointing it being Crackdown?

It’s a fact it’s Crackdown 4 get over it

@FarSightXR-20

xCloud related

This really isn’t xCloud related but more about Azure and using api endpoints to do Azure workloads and helping developers gain knowledge and skill in performing those in their games/applications. Taking the approach from ID@Xbox and doing the same for Azure. Using the cloud is a different beast than normal game development tasks.

It was the best week for Halo fans since a long long time. I feel like Infinite is the game fans were waiting for since Halo 3.

I’m not gonna be hyped, because we are yet to see more gameplay, but I feel like they’re on the right track this time. It feels good man !

Well, when I’m not posting here, playing games, or working, I’m actively willing it into existence

[Shakez]

Just had a crazy thought here.

The switch on Phil’s desk means Master Chief is in Smash.

Bye.
