Following the post launch support of Halo Infinite, many players revolted against 343 in hopes that the IP would find itself a new home. Xbox has made changes to the team, no doubt, but this latest one is a shocking development as they are doubling down on what is now called Halo Studios. Multiple projects are in development, Unreal Engine 5 is the home of Halo, and the team is hiring. Xbox is going all in and the stakes for Halo have never felt higher than right now.

All in???
All in for a 4th consecutive failure, with desync, 500M + budget, 20 usd for color blue, no cross core customization and no split screen co op😭😭💀
I remember the console wars when xbox360 players kept making fun of ps3 players. When fps was king and nobody cared abt story narratives found on the ps3. Now….. what da duck are they doing to the xbox base. We had our vengeance during ps4. But back to back ps5??? And then to the holy grail of Halo and Gears being dead??? Rip to the men and women on xbox.
You actually believed in 343 to give a decent halo game?…..
I’m not going to hold my breath. I was excited for Infinite, but that didn’t live up to the Halo legacy. I want Halo to make a comeback, but until I can sit down and play a new Halo game that blows me away, I’m not buying into the hype.
It’s not hard, lean into the esport nature of halo. It’s what made halo and the whole esports culture we have today. Make the game skill based like H3 again, and make the prize pools rival that of Fortnite and cs, and other very popular esports
Halo wars 3!……anyone?
The roots of Halo were never "GrAPhIcS!!!!"
It was Gameplay. The fact that Combat Evolved looked good for it's time was just an added bonus. The fact that they still don't understand that is why I very strongly think this Franchise died with Reach and even then it getting tired after 2.
Halo doesn't have a ton of wheels on it, but it does have some to get things moving.
You have Halo-Wars, You can make a Halo entirely from the perspective of the Covenant (Or whatever their replacement is now) and you can make a L4d-ish game with the Flood.
It doesn't all have to be playing Master Chef cooking up a half-baked plot. If anything there's too much of him.
ODST is considered one of the better installments in the franchise and I think alot of that is you aren't playing a Super-Human, you're just a normal soldier. Highly skilled and better equipped, but a normal soldier all the same. Elites in that game can be just as dangerous to you as a pack of hunters are to Spartans.
odd title
Xbox needs halo, halo needs bungie, bungie needs Microsoft
Matty, I think you’re a bit harsh on Halo yet soft on Starfield. Yeah while 343i
fumbled on quite a few things, you can’t deny Halo Infinite was a verry solid game. Shame the game gets hate for being itself. Cause Infinite was an improvement over H5 and H4 in many ways. Meanwhile, while I enjoyed Starfield for a time it got stale and bland fairly quick. Starfield is so much worse than Halo Infinite. As for how this affects Halo 7, I think
it will turn out good
When the next halo comes and gets over 20 million players I think Xbox will be happy
They need to keep it very simple and just release the master chief collection for PS5. It would sell crazy numbers. Introduce new audiences to the same loved titles of the past and use the money to launch whatever new titles or vision for next gen on XBOX. As a Playstation fan, I want XBOX to succeed. I would go all in, but considering the DRM and not using 100GB discs…I can`t commit. OG XBOX and 360 were fantastic. Sadly, the brand doesn`t care about the original hardcore fanbase that supported them for years.
Plot twist: Halo was always trash.
Come at me.
Just because they changed their name does not mean nothing it's the same dei bull crap but worse
Everyone has a different "thing that brings it back to its roots" concept, but to me it means mystery paired with awe. They understood that mystery was important for infinite, but didnt identify that was usually paired with awe. Like seeing the ring for the first time, seeing the ring lift up from the ark, etc.
Its still the same people who have been desecrating Halo for a decade. Nothing is going to change and the next Halo will be the last
One more video and i probably subscribe
Yeah they got a director in charge now of a FPS that hates guns lmao more trash.
343 is just microsoft… why do people keep pretending as if changing the devs would help, when Microsoft controls any devs working on Halo, and Phil Spencer has like 75 IQ according to his speech patterns.
We should note that they aren't managing the project in the same way, it is a cultural and organisational change that addresses the issues in terms of quality, structure and output
The team running Halo is full on woke, like many studios. 'The Message' as the Critical Drinker puts it, is the priority. On the whole, nostalgia is all we have left. They release more consoles than quality non-political games these days. I'll just play the old halo games on 360 and the MCC forever.
I've had enough of halo ,we just need a new game. No reboots or remakes and remasters. We need a brand new game overall that has nothing to do with halo ,halo had it's days. Another new shooter game would be a good idea.
Christ this dude is miserable. smh
Based on the timeline of "multiple games," I'd expect a Halo 3 remaster/remake. It hasn't been done yet, and it's an easy success story. 2027 is the 20-year mark. If that's the case, I'd expect a trilogy remake/remaster in Unreal for Halo 3s 20 year anniversary.
Honestly I thought Halo Infinite engine was pretty good. It seemed like they finally got the graphics and the sound design right, they just missed on the gameplay and story. So why are they completely changing the only thing they were good at? I ain’t buying another Halo from them
Then you are foolish Matty! There is no hope for HALO! The studio is completely overrun with radical leftist feminists. It is literally impossible for these people to be good stewards of this masculine franchise. That is because feninists have nothing but contempt for strong male characters. Sorry but these people have the complete wrong priorities! It is ideology first everything else 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Including great game making! Halo is a dead franchise walking imo.
Why UE5 tho? Games been running like crap on that engine. This is what i dont get with microsoft, they OWN bethesda and ABK! Why not use id tech from doom or the COD engine?
Y’all really gonna do this halo hype again 🤦♂️ this franchise is dead y’all still chasing that halo high from 2000s lol move tf on.
UE5 Halo with a new Forge sounds interesting. The community keeps Halo alive. Kiki Wolfk being out is a good thing imo. She produced that Halo TV show and destroyed the story. She just seemed more into Hollywood than she did Halo. That show doesn't exist to me.
I don't understand why people are so hyped around a rebranding 😅 … Yk, Halo died in Reach
I hope the HCE game is more than a reskin but if it isn’t I’m sure they having people who worked in MCC will do a much better job than the dumpster fire that is HCEA.
Woke cheese 🧀
UE5 running at 60fps with split screen at launch? Hmmm maybe
Slipspace lol
